Welcome to Litsy!

Since I am working all weekend, I am probably finished all the books I can manage for 2017! I managed 118 Books, 34,949 pages, and 352 hr of audio! Definitely the most since I‘ve started keeping track. One of my goals this year was to read more diversely and I think I managed pretty well. 🤓

I read a lot of memoirs this year, which isn‘t unusual for me. Hunger, Between the World and Me, and What Happened were some of my rare 5-Star reads!

These are the graphic novels I read this year, thanks mostly to my #hoopla subscription through the library. They‘re really nice options when I‘m in the middle of 4 other books and want something different!

I fell woefully behind, but this morning I finished The Children of Hurin, ending my #lotrchapteraday journey. This was a great experience; I got to reread The Hobbit & LOTR after many years, and I finally tackled The Sil! Thanks for starting this readalong, @freyaheart

I will miss spending time in Middle-earth.

I love audiobooks! The books pictured were partially or entirely listened to (at 1.5 - 2.25 speed). Listening to books has allowed me to get through a lot more books than just reading would. Huzzah for multitasking!

I read a good amount of books that touched on veganism or animal rights this year, some more strongly than others. My favorite of the bunch, though not #vegan at all, was Zooburbia, a look at how we coexist with the non-human animals in our world.

Our #nonfictiontravelingbook is still making its way around the globe! I believe we are booked through March, but I‘m taking sign ups for round 2. Check the book tagged in the comments!👇🏻

I‘m stingy with my stars, and though I‘m still finishing up my last reads of the year, I‘m posting my #bestof2017 list! 10 books, and a mix of old, new, fiction, memoir, and more. I only gave three books 5 stars in 2016, so things are looking up!

It‘s been an incredible reading year and I‘m excited for 2018.
