“If you want to live a life you‘ve never lived, you have to do things you‘ve never done.”
This quote spoke to me in many ways. We often find ourselves looking at other people‘s lives sayings “I wish I could be them”, “I want their life”, “look at how much fun they‘re having”, but we don‘t do anything about it. #LitsyReads #CurrentlyReading #HumpdayPosts

Thank you @Come-read-with-me for the #strangersonatrain giveaway! So sorry to hear you won't be commuting with @rather_be_reading anymore.

I know exactly who posted about Litsy on Instagram, it was @Cohnina. But I cannot remember how I came to follow Liliana in the first place. I assume we both took part in a doodling challenge.
Anyway, she wrote a short post about an App and described it as: What if Goodreads and Instagram had a baby? ⬇️

julesG So, naturally, I had to check it out. And I'm so glad I did. I lurked around for a few weeks and then dared to post more regularly. What really made me connect with Littens were @Cinfhen's daily photochallenges. And @MinDea 's #HumpDayPosts. 4y
BooknerdsLife Hahaaa I love the "if Goodreads & Instagram" has a child" what a perfect description! :D & I happen to use all 3 apps too ? 4y
TrishB Those two things made me start posting too. @LeahBergen was I think the first person to comment on one of my posts 😁 4y

LeahBergen @TrishB See? It was love at first sight for us! 😆😆 4y
BarbaraBB That sentence about the Instagram and Goodreads baby was the one that made me look up Litsy too! And my first comment was made by @Simona! 4y
TrishB @leahbergen @barbarabb it was all meant to be ♥️♥️ 4y
tpixie @BarbaraBB that a lot of scrolling back to find that!! And I also loved the description, it is perfect! I use it to describe Litsy to others, As well as the best place for book lovers! ♥️📚♥️ 4y

“Doubt takes away room for the divine.” — Leanna Renee Hieber, The Spectral City

Lovely historical paranormal, on the slow side, but quite enjoyable — like a relaxing afternoon tea 🌸

Q - Is there somewhere in your life where you're doubting yourself? What if that doubt isn't leaving any room for the magic that's trying to make its way toward you? ✨

#HumpDayPost @MinDea

1) I recommend the Kindle to any reading person I know. It's one of only two devices I use every day. (the other is my mobile)
2) I love green, but I would probably wear shades of blue.
3) biography
4) kind of yes and no. I grew up in the GDR and now live in the reunited Germany. Or in other words, I grew up in Thuringia and now live in North Rhine Westfalia (you may Google this)
5) both

MinDea I keep going back and forth on a Kindle. I have a gen 1 Kindle but never use it. My boyfriend has a paperwhite and he loves it but he isn't the biggest reader. I love the feel of a paperback or hardcover in my hands when I read so I worry I won't use it if I do get one. 🤔 6y
MinDea And thank you for always doing my #HumpDayPosts! I love reading your answers each week! 💙 6y
julesG @MinDea I am always looking forward to your #HumpDayPost questions. Since I use public transport a lot, I like to have my kindle with me. No hassles when I have to get off the bus/tram/train, just flipping the cover shut, shoving it into my bag. A book I want to keep in mint condition (my ocd), so I'd use a tiny bookmark, a booksleeve, etc, which means I have to start packing at the first but last stop. And I have a choice of up to 1.000 books. 6y

MinDea That totally makes sense! I think about getting one for traveling. Cause then I don't have to pack multiple heavy books but just grab 1 light and tiny kindle! 6y
julesG @MinDea ...not to mention, getting books in English is easier on the kindle and less expensive. Books, printed books that is, are a luxury good for me. A paperback costs around 10€, a kindle book usually costs half that price. 6y
MinDea Do you find that you spend a lot of money on books because it is so simple to just click buy on an ebook and there are so many Kindle deals? 6y
julesG @MinDea I used to do that. Just 'one-click' and have a new book. Amazon eventually came up with the 'pre-paid' option here in Germany, too. You upload a certain amount of money to your Amazon account and pay with those credits. That's what I do now. I upload 20€ book money every month. I might not use it all. Haven't in the last months. Which just means, I'll buy Christmas presents for the kids from the not used book budget. It's a win-win for me 6y
MinDea Oh that's really smart! I never thought to do that. My Amazon budget is ridiculous because that is where we do almost all our shopping! 😆😆 We can get almost anything in 2 hours! 6y
julesG @MinDea Well, if I could get almost anything off Amazon within two hours, I'd shop there more often. 6y
sudi @julesG that's a really great idea to upload a certain amount of money for books, i always overspend on the kindle deals, i'm gonna do your idea from now on,thanks 😊 6y

💥It‘s been quite a day and I wasn‘t really able to eat lunch so this is my dinner- homemade vegetable soup🍲
💥I like these #HumpDayPosts and #FriYayIntros ! I learn more about the people who love reading as much as I do!
💥 Graphic Novel- Saga
💥 Rollercoasters 🎢
💥 Onions- It was so bad that I only used onion powder in recipes even when I got married. Having kids totally changed my tastebuds!
#HumpDayPost

GrilledCheeseSamurai Yay! Saga sucks another one in. 🙌 7y
SpeculativeFemale YES! Someone else who gets it! So many people look at me like I'm crazy when I say my tastes completely changed after having my son! 7y
