Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve done pretty good on this TBR of Doom list but I‘m also tired of living by library deadlines. I have quite a few more holds and things coming due but I think I‘ll write them down and start selecting books in a least stressful way.

So I put together a list of all the books I binged on borrowing last night (and maybe one or two this morning) Most of them have 14 day borrows so the chances of me making it through them all without having to renew is slim but we‘ll see how it goes.

I‘ve known for a long time that I cannot afford my reading habit. I decided to try to track how much I save at the library every month in 2023. So far almost $100. Sheesh!

I enjoyed this book, quick read. Some online advice for getting your work seen. I think getting it out of your library first is a good idea bc there‘s a lot of pages with one sentence on it. I do that all the time and I just take a few notes on the advice, as written in my journal here. #librariesrock

I miss the library so much. I can‘t wait to start going back. Our local branch is still closed😢 I‘m happy to have Overdrive, but there‘s just something about going into the library, browsing though the shelves, and sitting quietly in a chair. #Librariesrock #needmorebooks #needmorequietspaces

So. I‘m trying to become a more regular library user and to stop buying so many books (since I‘m unemployed.) and what do I find a the library today? A $4.00 used book bag sale! Got a few gems. The tagged book is my favorite WWII story. I loaned out my copy years ago and never saw it again. Found this perfect hardcover version. Three Maisie Dobbs! And of course one book I already own. #bookhaul #librariesrock

“...I was allowed into the Hildegard Library. It‘s hard to describe the feeling this gave me. The first time I passed through its doors, I felt as if a golden key had been given to me—a key that would unlock one secret door after another, revealing to me the riches that lay with.”

I get it; I definitely get it. #librariesrock

Another inspiring day digging into the archive at the British Library - getting ready for an upcoming working trip to Finnish Lapland. #librariesrock
