I had so much fun meeting all of you and talking about our favorite subject-books!!! I'm going to email you all the list of local Littens so any one of you can take the reins for the next gathering. Thanks so much for coming! Austin has a bunch of sweet bookish friends! For those of you kept away by Harvey: we missed you! Next time!

Soubhiville @MicheleinPhilly we had a great time! Your meetup inspired me! Also, we may have talked about your dog during our gethering... hi Pickles! Also #bitsy was mentioned. @LauraBeth You two have #LitsyCelebrities 7y

Soubhiville @elkeo I wish I had done it sooner! It was really great! 7y

MicheleinPhilly HA! She's flattered! And sorry she couldn't make it. 😉 7y

Mommamanzi What a cool looking group of people!!!!! 7y

Soubhiville @Mommamanzi Austin is full of really cool people! 7y

Soubhiville @Bookzombie thanks for coming up from San Antonio! I'm glad the drive wasn't bad. I've only been there once, but SA's botanical gardens blew me away! I wonder if you could hold a gathering there... 7y

Bookzombie @Soubhiville I didn't. I looked around Book People some more and then headed out. 🙂Thanks for putting all of this together. You are awesome! I had such a great time. I will look into doing one in San Antonio. 7y

Eyelit Thanks again for getting us all together! By the by - I happened upon a copy of the sparrow on the last chance sale rack and I grabbed it since you spoke so highly of it. 😃 7y

Soubhiville @Eyelit of my gosh, yay! I recently heard someone ask "if you could read a book for the first time again, what book would you choose?" I might choose that one! 7y

LeahBergen Love it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y

LauraBeth What a great picture! Glad y'all met up and had a great time 😀 I'll tell Bitsy 💕 7y

Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body | Roxane Gay

I got to Book People early to check it out. I'm eyeing the signed copy of Hunger up there. #austinmeetup1 #litsymeetup

Fortifiedbybooks Did you end up buying Hunger after the meet up? 7y

Bookzombie @Fortifiedbybooks I didn't. Probably going to regret it. 🙂 7y

Bookzombie @Fortifiedbybooks I was just listening to an old podcast and heard about this article. I haven't read it yet, but I thought of you. https://www.buzzfeed.com/rahawahaile/how-black-books-lit-my-way-along-the-appala... 7y

Fortifiedbybooks @Bookzombie awesome! Thanks 😆 I'm loving A Walk in the Woods. It's hilarious 😂 My BF said I have a problem when I came home with 3 books plus the 2 from our book swap 😄 7y

Bookzombie @Fortifiedbybooks If it's a problem, it's a good one to have. 😁 7y

Fortifiedbybooks @Bookzombie I agree 100% 😆 7y

Austin Friends! I just spoke to Book People and they're open normal hours today, and the rain has let up a lot, so come on out for our First Austin Litsy Meetup!!!
I can't wait to see you all! Remember if you are able to, bring a wrapped book to exchange "blind date" style. Several folks are bringing extra books, so NO PRESSURE! Even if you don't bring a book, you'll be going home with one!
Dinner after if anyone wants to, we'll decide there.

Soubhiville I know some of you have said already the weather will be keeping you home. We will miss you! We'll be sure to plan another outing soon! 7y

Soubhiville @jpmcwisemorgan would you like me to pick you up? I love North, by the Domain, but don't mind coming out early to get you if you're not in a flooded area? 7y

My_novel_obsession Ya'll I am definitely stuck in Houston! Roads impassable and more rain to come :(. Really wish I could be there. Hope you all have a great time be safe getting there! 7y

Felso I'm not going to be able to make it. But will be looking forward to the next one. Be safe in all this Harvey mess. 7y

Julsmarshall I'm not sure I'll make it either. We don't have power and the mud/water mess is a real challenge with the dogs. We also have family that evacuated and they're a little needy. 7y

Bookzombie I will be there! I hope that everyone who can't make it is doing well. I know some areas have been hit really hard. 💗 7y

Eyelit I may be a little late - but I'm going to try to be there. I'm on the bus and CapMetro says delays/detours in effect... but I'm not terribly far and I hope it's not too bad 🙂 7y

Texreader Missing you all so much! Looking forward to next one! 7y

jpmcwisemorgan @Eyelit I hope the buses run ok. I decided not to risk it because they posted service might be delayed. 7y

jpmcwisemorgan @Soubhiville I appreciate the offer but I'm going to sit this one out. I think my area is ok, although there is some standing water in the roads but I don't want anyone taking any chances! If you're in Lamar be careful. I heard there were some sinkholes around 38th. 7y

Fortifiedbybooks I'm still going to be there, assuming I can get there from where I live. I don't think it will be a problem though since there doesn't seem to be any flooding in my area. 7y

Soubhiville Atxfloods.com will show you any areas you might want to avoid. It's a straight shot down 1 and across 5th for me, no issues. 7y

Fortifiedbybooks @Soubhiville I'm here super early. Are we allowed to bring stuff from the cafe up to where we're meeting? 7y

Bookzombie @Fortifiedbybooks I'm here too! 7y

Soubhiville @Fortifiedbybooks @Bookzombie yes, you can take food up to the third floor. I'm on my way in! 7y

Fortifiedbybooks @Bookzombie I'm in the cafe, end table next to the cafe register. 7y

Fortifiedbybooks I really shouldn't have gotten here so early. I knew I would buy a book, but I bought 3! 😂#whereallmymoneygoes 7y

Soubhiville @Fortifiedbybooks @Bookzombie come on up to the third floor, walk between the curtains, it's ok. We have water, iced tea, and cookies! 7y

Nancethepants So sorry I missed this, guys! I had a freaked out 5-year-old who didn't want me to leave during the storm. I hope you all had a blast, and that we get a chance to meet up again. 7y

Soubhiville @Nancethepants there will be another chance! Hope you can make it next time! 7y

Just got home from seeing Wind River (so good) - I'm hoping the weather stays the same or gets better so I can meet up with some local littens tomorrow!

Still good to go @Soubhiville ?

#austinmeetup1 #litsymeetup

Bookzombie I'm still planning on making it up there. 🙂 7y

Eyelit @Bookzombie hooray! I'm baking cookies now for the meet up... and trying to decide which book to wrap up for the blind date swap 😁 7y

Soubhiville I'll call Book People to make sure they're open, but yes on! Whoever can brave the rain! (edited) 7y
