Litsy

My local bookclub reads based on a monthly topic. March was “a color in the title”. These were my reads. We had an interesting and diverse mix of books chosen.

What book would you suggest with a color in the title?

#LARS #LitsyATXReadersSociety

UwannaPublishme Your book group is so creative! I‘d have to pick

A Spool of Blue Thread

Soubhiville Thank you for the recommendation @UwannaPublishme ! I‘ve stacked it 😊 2y

Kitta What a good idea. Maybe this?

Half-Blood Blues: A Novel

Soubhiville @kitta that sounds really interesting! 2y

Kitta I loved it but not everyone agrees! So it would make for good discussion. I‘d also recommend

Red at the Bone

The Poisonwood Bible | Barbara Kingsolver

I first heard about this book over a decade ago and finally decided to read it for my book club‘s May theme, “a book you‘ve been meaning to read for a long time but keep putting off,” after a friend highly recommended it. In a word: Wow. I can see why this is considered a modern classic—it‘s provocative, unsparing yet also compassionate, and unputdownable.🔸#aprilreads2021 #LitsyATXReadersSociety #LARS

The Reading Life: The Joy of Seeing New Worlds Through Others' Eyes | C. S. Lewis

Read this for my book club‘s April theme, books/library. It‘s a short collection of quotes curated from C. S. Lewis‘s essays and letters, so probably not super interesting unless you‘re a fan of the author, which I am, so I enjoyed it.🔸#aprilreads2021 #LitsyATXReadersSociety #LARS

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek | Kim Michele Richardson

The Litsy ATX Reader‘s Society met today to discuss this month‘s topic: Books About Books or Libraries. I enjoyed all four of the books I read for it, to varying degrees. I think I actually liked the two non fiction best, which is unusual for me.

#LitsyATXReadersSociety #LARS #BooksAboutBooks

May‘s topic: Something You‘ve Been Meaning to Read for a Long Time but Keep Putting Off.

(We‘re still meeting online. Let me know if you‘d like to join)

CaffeineAndCandy What does the group do? How often do you meet? 3y

Soubhiville @CaffeineAndCandy we meet the third Saturday of every month, and we‘re a sort of non traditional bookclub, in that we read to a different topic each month instead of all reading the same book. At our meetings we each talk about the book(s) we read, and we usually talk about life stuff a bit as well. We all live in Austin TX (ATX), but occasionally have drop ins from elsewhere in Litsyland. 😊. We use Google Meet. 3y

CaffeineAndCandy So nobody reads the same books? 3y

Soubhiville @CaffeineAndCandy it does occasionally happen, but if so it‘s not intentional. 3y

mhillis That‘s a great concept for a book club! 3y

Good Talk: A Memoir in Conversations | Mira Jacob

Recommended by several members of my book club, #LitsyATXReadersSociety or #LARS for short. It was also my pick for our January theme, “Read previously for LARS by another member.” I loved the openly curious and innocent questions of the author‘s young mixed-race son about race, religion, and culture. 🔸 #januaryreads2021

Beyond the Bookclub: We are the Books we must Read | Ruthie Landis

Hi #LARS folks! Next #LitsyATXReadersSociety meeting is March 21, topic is Dystopian. Reminder we had a venue switch to The Steeping Room and time switch to 3:30. We have a table reserved for 6. Please RSVP here or better yet, go check in on Slack for discussion.

(We changed for SXSW, but I think we should keep the change this month since folks were excited to try something different.)

3 confirmed so far.

Art Oracles: Creative and Life Inspiration from 50 Artists | Katya Tylevich

Sarah! It was so sweet of you to bring me gifts, thank you! These cards are so neat! I pulled a random card for today and got JMW Turner, who I‘m not familiar with. I love the last quote: “The sun will rise whether or not you are there to watch it.”

The cat bookmark is adorable, and I‘ll enjoy using the bookpeople card. Thank you!

Sg1224 Thanks for being the leader of our #LARS group! 4y

Bookzombie That bookmark is so cute!
