Postpartum depression is so common, and so debilitating for so many women. #brookesheilds novel #downcametherain saved me when I was struggling with it. Her incredibly honest portrayal of the hell that is postpartum depression was so hard to read, and yet was the best thing I could have done for myself in my healing journey.⁠

Day 16: Foreign author you love #juneinbooks18
I recently read The Kite Runner and it was absolutely beautiful. I can‘t wait to read A Thousand Splendid Suns.
My favorite quote from the novel is “Children aren‘t coloring books, you don‘t get to fill them in with your favorite colors.”

@GypsyKat made such a moving post today, I have to share it 😊🙌🏻👌🏻. So here's my bookish discussion question of the day: Which one adjective would you use to describe Litsy? And tag one Litten you've come to appreciate and have built a friendship with on here (and they, in turn, can tag someone else; and on and on it goes 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻). #BookTalk

AmyG Inclusive (only one word?) @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I am tagging this lovely litten who sent me the most wonderful #totebagswap 7y
JenlovesJT47 Litsy is...amazeballs- does that count as a word? 😅I've met so many nice people on here and honestly think I would have gone crazy these past few months without it. Was under a lot of stress but Litsy was just what I needed. @TricksyTails of course I'm gonna tag you! 😆☺️ 7y
See All 228 Comments
TricksyTails Awww 😘♥️👯 @JenlovesJT47 ! One word... Kindred? This community has meant more than I can express. I've met genuine, kind friends and have made some friendships I know will last forever. I tag @MinDea because she's awesome and has made Litsy an amazing experience for me. (edited) 7y
MinDea Awww. Thanks @TricksyTails! I have loved getting to know you and talk about all the things we love; books, food, travel and just life in general! I'll tag @Robothugs and @Jess7. They are my 2 #LitsyPenPals and I have really enjoyed getting to know them as well and they have both been great collaborators in all things Litsy! Litsy is amazing and I can't praise this community enough! 7y
SandyW My word: ADDICTIVE. I'm new here and haven't made any "friends" yet, but there are a number of Littens I like to read. @cobwebmoth is one. ? 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @AmyG awww thank you!!! 😘❤️ Encouraging!! Our community is definitely encouraging of one another and such a loving group of people!! Sorry that‘s two 😘❤️ @MrBook @GypsyKat @aschermetz I‘m tagging @minkyb she‘s so sweet and thoughtful! I love my bookmarks and Christmas card!! (edited) 7y
[DELETED] 3803335244 So Kind & Fun! Sorry couldn‘t do just one word. 😊 Thank you so much @Tamra I wish we lived closer! I‘m tagging @robinb !!! Both the women I tagged a beautiful souls! 7y
ElishaLovesBooks Friendly!! @Cinfhen reached out and was so kind when I was new to Litsy! I love the encouragement and support people show on here! It‘s my favorite place to be! 💜❤️ 7y
CoffeeCatsBooks Caring 💕 I‘ll tag my two Penpals @kitkatdallibooks and @LazyOwl who I am loving getting to know more, but so many Littens here could be tagged (and all my swap Littens who have been incredibly thoughtful and generous). (edited) 7y
GypsyKat ❤️❤️❤️ 7y
GypsyKat I‘m tagging @kylienoele because although I‘ve made many friends on here, she was really my first and is therefore quite special to me. 💗💗💗 7y
robinb Spirit-Raiser...is that a word and does it count as one or two?! You know what? It doesn‘t matter because my fellow Littens understand just what I mean! Wonderful folks like @ForeverNerdy , @eanderson and @BookNAround are the reason I get on here (eagerly!) every chance I get! No matter the kind of day I‘m having, my Litsy pals take it up an extra notch or two....ALWAYS!!! Maybe Dependable should have been my word??!! 😘😘❤️❤️ 7y
KCorter Can I copy @TricksyTails' answer? Because "kindred" is perfect. I definitely have to tag @Lmstraubie! I loved our Neil Gaiman readalongs. It was so wonderful getting to know you through our discussions! ❤ I also have to tag @BarbaraTheBibliophage. I'm a member of the #LitsyMigraineBookClub, and sometimes just knowing other people know how you feel can ease the pain. If we have to have migraines, at least we can have a #migraineandabook. 7y
minkyb @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks thanks for the tag. My adjective is Inspiring. I have been awed by people I have met on this site. I‘ll tag @sisilia my #litmail buddy. I was lucky enough to meet her in person in NYC recently. She is a sweetheart. 7y
IamIamIam Just caught wind of all this (@gypsykat & @aschermetz 😔) but for me, fulfilling is the one word for Litsy! I love you guys and I've never had friends who read as much as I did! You all complete me!!! 😚😚😚😚😚 7y
drokka Supportive. I get on really well with a few people, and find it hard to pick one so I decided to go way back and pick @minkyb was the person I had a conversational exchange with. It's one of the reasons I stayed on and met all these other wonderful people. 7y
Bklover Copying @TricksyTails but KINDRED. These are my people. And they get me. I love so many people here- @Cinfhen pops into my head first - she reached out to me and made me happy! 7y
Mdargusch So many words go through my head but to me it is such a community. And there are so many people I consider friends even though I‘ve never met them. @leahbergen is my #booktoteswap friend and I love how she really paid special attention to her package for me. I just thought of another word - generous! 7y
TricksyTails @KCorter Neil Gaiman readalongs and #ListyMigraineBookClub sounds right up my alley!! May I join in on this fun?☺️ 7y
Book_in_hands I would say LOVE. We all share our love for book and reading. We share photos of the things we love like books, family,pets,food and much more. And we all show each other love by liking or commenting on a picture that was posted, sending gifts/cards to one another. ❤️ to all!!! 7y
Scurvygirl Support comes to mind for me especially the last few months. Even though I have been sick for years, the last year has been the hardest and the community has been a rock for me! Sending love to @MinDea @Captivatedbybooks @hgrimes @jfalkens who always are so kind! 7y
KirstieE Welcoming is what first comes to mind ! Everyone on here is so loving and accepting and I just love sharing posts with all of you 💜 I'm tagging @Utopiyll because she's a sweetheart and we have so much in common ! 7y
RebelReader Connectedness! @Booksnob who introduced me to this community. 7y
cobwebmoth @SandyW Thank you!❤ I would describe Litsy as accepting. There are so many kind-hearted individuals on here. @britt_brooke was one of the first people to make me feel welcome here, so big hugs to her and to all of you. 7y
Captivatedbybooks @Scurvygirl ❤️ ty for the kind words and my word would be loving 7y
Eggs Friendly! And I'm tagging @geodynamical because she introduced me to Litsy ❤️❤️ (and I birthed her). Also someone who has been very friendly and welcoming @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ❤️❤️ 7y
minkyb Wow @drokka I am humbled. Thank you. One of my favorite things on litsy has been my #litmail book club with @Robothugs keeping us all in line. Litsy is a Generous community demonstrated selflessly by Jen. 7y
[DELETED] 3803335244 @robinb I totally agree! Thanks for the tag friend! I want to tag @LauraBrook who is such a sweetheart & was kind enough to raise my spirits! Thank you Laura for being you ❤️ 7y
eanderson @robinb you made my heart smile! Thank you so much for always being so uplifting and incredibly kind! You have made my evening! 💕 My word is remarkable. I've found an amazing group of thoughtful and incredible people that are completely understanding. They may also be little enablers to my reading addiction but I feel like that's a huge compliment! @Cathythoughts @batsy @LeahBergen are fun and positive people! They are always spreading love! ❤️❤️ 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs thank you!! You‘re so sweet!! I‘m going to say that this community is inspiring!! I‘m constantly inspired to read more and different genres!! I‘m going to tag my friend @bookloo She‘s my cohost for #Botmbuddyread and is always so positive and encouraging!! 💞 7y
kylienoele @GypsyKat Ahh thank you so much!! Life would not be the same without you in it!! 💖💖💖 7y
MiyakoBunny ♥️I‘d describe Litsy as enriching!♥️& I‘m tagging @kimlovesbooks for her kind heart 💜, friendliness, & welcoming spirit🌸 7y
MinDea Thanks for another tag @Scurvygirl ! This community is SUPPORTIVE. I think we all have one goal in mind. To spread happiness, strength, kindness and support. I tag a real life friend @JamieArc . She recently joined this community and is all about support, giving and kindness and was a great addition to this amazing community! 7y
hgrimes awww thank you, @Scurvygirl!! You rock my socks too! 💕 I want to give a shout out to @MinDea even though she‘s been tagged already, for always being ridiculously supportive and thoughtful! When my cat was ill, she remembered and checked in with me regularly to see how we‘re doing. I was touched! She‘s also strengthened the Litsy community and helped us get to know each other with her fun Wednesday Hump Days! 🥇 7y
Tamra @ForeverNerdy totally in agreement! 😊👌🏾 7y
MinDea Thanks @hgrimes for another tag! Your #HumpDayPosts always make me smile! Another word I would use to describe Litsy is HAPPY. Litsy is definitely my happy place. I'll tag @DebinHawaii cause I always love her food and book posts! Check out her blog. I have made some of her recipes and they are so good. Some have made their way into our regular dinner rotations!! 7y
britt_brooke @cobwebmoth You are pretty spectacular yourself! Thank you for the #litsylove. 💚💚💚 I would describe Litsy as Positive. It‘s the best social media outlet out there because of all of you amazing folks! One Litten I definitely feel a kinship with is @Jess7 - even though we know each other IRL (through my husband), we haven‘t actually seen each other in 15 years. Litsy has brought us together through our mutual love of books. 💚 7y
GypsyKat @kylienoele 😘❤️ 7y
Jess7 Awww... thanks @britt_brooke 💕 Your post is so very true! I want to thank you so much for telling me about #litsy almost a year ago. If it wasn‘t for you, I wouldn‘t be here 🤗 You‘re the best! 👍🏼📚 7y
Avanders Adjective... awesomesauce 😁 I talk about Litsy w friends and can never use just 1 adjective. Just like picking only 1 litten will be impossible. .. here're just a few 😬 @MrBook @BookBabe @MaleficentBookDragon @BethM @Kalalalatja @Laalaleighh 💖💖💖 🤗🤗🤗 7y
Bookzombie One word is hard, but I‘m going with supportive. There is so much well wishing, cheering on, building up, comforting, kindness, and love going on everyday on Litsy. I‘m tagging my penpal @Phroop (promise to send a letter soon). Also, @LibrarianRyan as I often feel a kinship with her. Lastly, my MIL @CAnne ,because it makes me so happy to see her on here participating. ☺️ 7y
britt_brooke @Jess7 😘😘 7y
bookloo @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you so much Misty!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ I would use “passionate”! Everyone here has a deep love for books and it‘s so comforting and inspiring. I love this community. I‘m going to tag @mrozzz ! She‘s helped me get through a couple of tough times and she‘s just an amazing human being. Very honored to call her my #literarygodmother and friend. ☺️💞 7y
BethM Aww @Avanders thank you 😘My word for Litsy is : home. I consider several littens friends but I'll stick with two that haven't been tagged. @ghosthost was one of the first people that made me feel welcome, with similar tastes, and irl she's also fantastic. @Mommamanzi is just so kind and fun. 7y
mrozzz @bookloo so glad we got to know each other! 💜 Passionate is such a perfect description and from that passion breeds high levels of engagement which is another aspect I love about Litsy, how engaged you all are! And supportive which shines through in the motivation behind the post by @GypsyKat I am going to tag @Riveted_Reader_Melissa because I really love going through the quotes she pulls from her current reads! 7y
CAnne Awww thank you sweet DIL @Bookzombie for telling me about Litsy. One word for would be welcoming. I'm new to Litsy and so many Littons have made me feel very welcome to the community. I'm tagging @Andrea4 and @TheKidUpstairs as they are my bookmark exchange buddies. 7y
LauraBrook @ForeverNerdy You‘re such a sweetheart! 💖 One word for Litsy? Refuge. I know I can always check in here and be entertained and have a laugh and feel comfortable and supported and reassured that the world isn‘t such a horrible place after all. As for tagging someone, I‘ll pick @LauraBeth. She was one of the first Littens to really chat with me and has been so lovely and warm and supportive and smart and funny. She‘s fantastic. 💗 7y
TheKidUpstairs Thank you @CAnne for the tag - how lovely of you to think of me! I'm going to take a page from @Mdargusch 's book and say GENEROUS. Generosity of spirit, time, love, and books. I'm going to tag my Pen Pal @Melissa_J and the wonderful @JazzFeathers and @merelybookish because they all show the aforementioned generosity of spirit, and bring a smile to my face on the regular! 7y
Jess7 I forgot to describe Litsy in my last post replying to the very kind @britt_brooke . I would describe it as ADDICTIVE! It‘s addictive (in a good way) because of all the reasons everyone has already said. It‘s positive, encouraging and A LOT of fun. I‘m thankful for all of you amazing Littens, but I‘m going to tag: @TheLibrarian & @Captivatedbybooks whom I got to know through swaps, and @EllieDottie whom I got to know through #whodunitbymail 💙 (edited) 7y
TheLibrarian Selecting just one word is hard but I‘d say caring. Thank you @Jess7 - you are amazing! I‘d like to tag @saresmoore @2BR02B @Bookzombie and all the Littens if I could ❤️ 7y
MaleficentBookDragon I agree with others by saying HOME. I feel like I have finally found my people. This is the ONLY social network I love. Everyone I have met has been so wonderful and supportive. Thank you for the tag @Avanders and I tag you right back. I have met so many wonderful people here, I want to tag everyone! I have to say that @Avanders @JoeStalksBeck and @Mommamanzi all have a very special place in my heart. I am running out of room so... 7y
sisilia Thank you @minkyb 😘 I pick the word “encouraging” for this loving community. I‘m tagging my penpals @Michelle_mck and @JacintaMCarter 7y
saresmoore Thank you, Carrie! @TheLibrarian I would describe Litsy as genuine. Never have I met so many down-to-earth and compassionate people in one virtual place! I‘ve cultivated some wonderful friendships here: @Suet624 @shawnmooney @batsy @vivastory @ReadingEnvy @LauraBeth @Notafraidofwords @LauraBrook You are all lovely humans! 7y
ReadingEnvy @saresmoore 🤗🤗🤗 7y
DebinHawaii Mahalo @MinDea -you are so sweet for the kind words. I'm going with OHANA which means family-by blood or by choice. To me Litsy is a family of book lovers who almost without fail are kind, supportive & welcoming. Here we say it's "living with Aloha." It's hard to pick just one person but I'm tagging the wonderful @BethFishReads who introduced me to Litsy. She has a great blog & her Weekend Cooking link up is one of my favorite blogging events.? 7y
BethFishReads Thanks so much to @DebinHawaii 😊I‘m so glad you listened to my Litsy gushing and so happy you‘ve found this WELCOMING (my word) community. I‘ll tag @Dogearedcopy who is a longtime online friend and someone I‘ve had the pleasure to get to know in real life through #audiobooks & beyond. 7y
Suet624 @saresmoore Right back at ya, kiddo. 7y
Cinfhen Thank you so much @ElishaLovesBooks @Bklover I appreciate you both for your kind words both off and on Litsy ??you guys are lovely ?GENUINE is the first word I can think of to describe Litsy. It's a place full of real people who are true & kind & EVERYTHING I admire. I want to tag so many but @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi @trishb are 3 people I've come to appreciate and look forward to "seeing" & communicating with each day ? 7y
Notafraidofwords @saresmoore you‘re the best :). I can honestly say that @saresmoore has gotten through a really dark period in my life and @BookishFeminist has gotten me through the first year of trump. 7y
Bookzombie @TheLibrarian Thank you for thinking of me! 💗 7y
LauraBrook @saresmoore You are so wonderful! 💖💖💖 7y
Bklover What a wonderful post @MrBook ! I read every single comment and they brought tears to my eyes. This is a beautiful place!❤️ 7y

vivastory @saresmoore You're the best! Litsy is the only social media platform I've ever actively engaged in. I've been on Litsy for a little over a year & have formed great friendships, exploded my TBR & shared my thoughts on books I love. It's fantastic! 7y
TricksyTails @jfalkens You are the sweetest! I have so much love for you! 🤗♥️You're always so kind and supportive and fun! Thank you for tagging me. Litsy is HEALING. All of these wonderful people have helped me through dark times without even knowing it. So much love for this community and especially for my girl @Clwojick . Tagging this gorgeous friend because she always brightens my day, makes me laugh, and is just effing awesome. She gets me. 😆😘♥️ 7y
IamIamIam Awww, @jfalkens!!!! I'm all choked up!!! Love you too!!!! 😚😚😚😚 7y
Clwojick As I always say/ hashtag Litsy and this whole amazing community is Life Changing. I have never felt so inspired or accepted to be who I am. I have never before connected so deeply and so quickly with such a large group of people, nor have I ever felt this supported from an online community before. We truly are the change that I wish to see in the rest of the online world. Each and every one of you DO make a difference. #LifeChangingLitsy 7y
Clwojick @TricksyTails it was such an unexpected thing to connect with you on this level. #soulsisters 😉 I am grateful to Litsy for the opportunity to meet such wonderful people like you. It's been a few short months, but it's meant the world to me already. 💗 to quickly name a few others who brighten my day @huntersmom1977 @kamoorephoto @Texreader @Andrea4 @BookBabe @MrBook Thanks for making me smile, and welcoming me into this crazy Litsy family. 7y
BookBabe @Clwojick 😘😘😘 Ditto! ❤️ 7y
Michelle_mck Thanks for the tag @sisilia my word is Inclusive, all walks, places and cultures. I am so appreciative for the friendships I have found, all my #litmail crew! I‘m tagging amazing lovely ladies @josie281 @Lizpixie @rachaich 7y
mrp27 I agree with @Bklover what a great post!! Litsy is my tribe!! 7y
Texreader Beautiful post @Clwojick and thank you! I‘ve had a couple of distressing few days and this warmed my heart. Litsy is another “home” to me where I️ really care about the people here and I️ always feel welcome. It‘s a beautiful place. I️ ❤️ my Litten friends but here are a few who stand out to me: @julesg @Bookzombie @MinDea @DebinHawaii (and Max) @bookbabe @Clwojick @tricours and all my swap buddies in every swap!! 7y
LeahBergen Thank you so very much for the sweet words, @Mdargusch and @eanderson ! You have made my evening. I look forward to your warm and wonderful posts and comments every day. 😘😘😘 7y
Bookzombie Aww, @Texreader you stand out to me too. ❤️ 7y
batsy Thank you @eanderson , you're a bright spot in my timeline and a lovely person ❤️ @saresmoore Thank you & right back at you, I am so happy to have found a friend in you 😘💜 Both of you made my day! Litsy is a welcoming place filled with warm people & I'm lucky I found it. A shoutout to my sweet penpal @Mimi28 and @shawnmooney who was one of my first friends here, & @Simona & @rohit-sawant @erzascarletbookgasm for their kindness & friendship. 7y
julesG Thank you @Texreader, you stand out to me too. Litsy is my go to app every day. People are UNDERSTANDING and OPEN and I'll be forever grateful to @Cohnina for talking about it on Instagram. A Litten whose posts I love is @thegirlwiththelibrarybag but she is not the only one that comes to mind. All if you have a special place in my heart. 7y
erzascarletbookgasm Right back at ya, @batsy 💕! Agree with ALL the descriptives mentioned by the others 🤘. In addition, Littens are a bunch of enablers! 😉 My TBR list has exploded, my wallet is often 💸, but I am so happy and grateful to be part of this tribe! 7y
erzascarletbookgasm I‘ve come across many wonderful Littens, I cannot list out all of them but a shoutout to @MrBook for being the unofficial custodian of Litsy and voice of wisdom; I always drool over @Kalalalatja ‘s beautiful books + photos, such a witty girl; @LeahBergen ‘s charming remarks; @Cinfhen for playing a part in bringing closer the community; ....etc (edited) 7y
Cinfhen Awww, thank you so much @erzascarletbookgasm 😘I love my Litsy friends 💘💘💘💘💘 7y
Kalalalatja Aww, @Avanders and @erzascarletbookgasm 💕 thanks you two, I were going to tag you as well ☺️ 451 characters will never be enough to tag all the wonderful littens here. @Cinfhen my favourite #litsymom, @TrishB @Moray_Reads @BarbaraBB make me forget about book buying bans and buy books immediately from their reviews. My fellow student, @ephemeralwaltz makes great posts, the same as @I-read-and-eat but it has been a while since she's been on ❤️ 7y
MinDea Thank you so much for the tag @Texreader and @jfalkens! I have loved getting to know both of you on here!! You are both so nice and kind 🤗 7y
Cinfhen Awww @Kalalalatja that might be my FAVORITE hashtag EVER 💓💓💓I‘m proud to be your #LitsyMom 😘😘😘😘thank you for making my day 😍🙏🏻 7y
Simona Thank you @batsy 😘 Litsy is a place of diverse readers with different opinions, but nevertheless remains RESPECTFUL and THOUGHTFUL, and because of that I consider all of you as my friends 😘 7y
BarbaraBB Thank you @Kalalalatja, that goes for you too 💕. I trust and admire your opinion on all books so much! The same goes for @Simona and @batsy. Your reviews and comments make Litsy such an INSPIRING place to be. 😘 7y
TrishB I‘m going to have to have two - supportive and inclusive - but could really have a lot more. I‘ve become friends with a lot of lovely people @Cinfhen and my lovely #litsypenpals @LeahBergen the first person to comment on one of my posts. People that send you things randomly - you know who you are. But I truly appreciate everyone I interact with, feel the love ❤️💜 7y
TrishB @Kalalalatja same ❤️ you increase my beautiful book buying! 7y
Simona @BarbaraBB Thanks ❤️ It‘s nice and I‘m grateful to have such a eclectic book/reading friend in you 😘 7y
Cinfhen Forever grateful @TrishB 7y
Mimi28 @batsy Thanks!! You‘re extremely sweet too. @MrBook @BookBabe I originally didn‘t do this, because I want to tag EVERYONE!!! ❤️❤️ 7y
Mimi28 I think @BookishMarginalia and @WanderingBookaneer deserve so much credit for this app being such a success with the swaps and kindness and tenacity especially with all they have been through, as well as everyone else that was affected by the devastating hurricanes. @Laalaleighh @LauraBeth @MyNamesParadise @Ashley_Nicoletto and my other Taylor Swift buddies, @Liberty, @Nonaroo @batsy again, and everyone who has wished me well or anyone who ❤️cats! 7y
JazzFeathers @TheKidUpstairs Thanks for the nice words 😊 l've learned what happend from your tag and it makes me so sad. Not the first time that l hear about mean people here on Litsy. But l do believe this is an awesome community and it has shown it in the way it has reacted. 7y
WanderingBookaneer Thank you @Mimi28 . My one word to describe Litsy is “utopia.” I don‘t know about y‘all, but My experience is this is the only social media site where people are always respectful. Litsy is my safe have. When I met @Anovelobsession I told her I would love to live a country of Littens. As for my list, there are so many warm and caring people on this app, that I always forget to name some and feel bad about it afterward. I am thankful for all of you 7y
WanderingBookaneer ...and your pets! 7y
Sharpeipup To me, Litsy is SUPPORTIVE, GENEROUS , and THOUGHTFUL (more so than the people physically in my life). Everyday I am inspired by so many of you & I will be remiss in this list (my apologies, in advance) @BookishMarginalia @MrBook @Avanders @britt_brooke @ReadingEnvy @Chelsibeau 7y
RohitSawant That's so nice of you, @batsy, thanks! Right back at you! I love how genuine, supportive & brimming with positivity Litsy is. @TrishB, @TobeyTheScavengerMonk, @Ms_T, @LeahBergen, @Cinfhen, @vivastory, the first person I talked to on here, are just some of the wonderful people I've crossed paths with. Grateful to have found a good friend in @rachellayown, one of the kindest people I've known. Interacting with you all enriches my life & my reading. 7y
RohitSawant A shout out to @OutlandishLit, without whom I wouldn't have known about this amazing community. 7y
kspenmoll It was so wonderful- beyond amazing, reading all these posts. Thanks @Mr.Book! I appreciate each & every person that posts here- have grown so much in book knowledge, and witnessed/ felt so much support, compassion, love. Thanks to all who together, make Litsy a wonderful world to inhabit.💕💕 7y
Andrea4 @Clwojick aw! Right back at ya! 😄 7y
sprainedbrain @Sharpeipup Thank you for the tag, Tina! I think you have nailed it with THOUGHTFUL. Litsy is a community of amazing people who are thoughtful, respectful, and inclusive, whether they are posting a review, sharing a recommendation, discussing opinions, giving a gift, helping a friend, welcoming new faves, or having a laugh. Love it here! It‘s so hard to tag just a few because truly, I appreciate everyone here, but I will try! ❤️❤️❤️ 7y
Andrea4 @CAnne thank you! (And I hope you get your bookmark soon!!) Litsy has such an OPEN-MINDED community and that is something that appears to be taking a hard hit these days. I will always be grateful to my BFF for introducing me to Litsy @llwheeler 😁 7y
batsy @BarbaraBB That's such a kind thing to say, thank you so much. And the same goes for you, I love your reviews and you've introduced me to many new books added to my TBR 😊😘 7y
Reviewsbylola Thanks @Cinfhen you‘re the first person I really connected with on Litsy and my #litsybff. I want to tag my BOTM partners in crime @L_auren and @Booksandcooks they have made this past year super fun with our challenge and I love comparing our BOTM loves and hates. 😂 7y
ephemeralwaltz @Kalalalatja thank you darling! Same to you!😍 I'd like to say that Litsy is simply POSITIVE. You won't find any other social media platform as positive and full of love as Litsy ❤📚 I've so happy to have connected with great readers such as @ju.ca.no @Andrew65 @TrishB @Simona @Pruzy @Read-eat-travel-repeat @RealLifeReading ETC ETC. You all make this the best place online. 7y
LibrarianJen Thank you @sprainedbrain I‘m so thankful to Litsy for my awesome book club @litsygoespostalog We have had our ups and downs but we have stuck together though it all. I‘ve formed amazing relationships with @BooksTeasAndBookishThings and @Owlizabeth and @Cupofjo who is pretty much family now. 7y
britt_brooke @sprainedbrain Thanks for the #litsylove - you‘re awesome yourself!! 7y
rachaich @Michelle_mck thank you for the love :) :) xx 7y
rachaich #litsylove Litsy, to me, is inspiring in both books and posters/littens :) @wormkim -glad you've found this site too! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @KCorter Aww @KCorter thanks for the tag, my friend. 😘😘 I‘m catching up on this post this morning and LOVING all the kindness and caring. My word for Litsy is fantabulous. I don‘t have to explain, right? I‘ll tag the folks who have sent me gift exchange packages since I joined, because there‘s a special level of caring in that. @Emily92Bibliophile @moranadatter @kspenmoll @That-Bookish-Hiker I feel like I‘m missing one .... ❤️💜💙💛🧡💚🧡💛🖤💙 7y
kspenmoll @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks for the tag Barbara. I couldn‘t make choices from so many but you definitely would have been in my list. ❤️ 7y
BibliophileMomma Litsy is such an amazing community! Always supporting and uplifting each other. It‘s always bringing readers together and building new friendships.

Love that Gal! 💚💚💚 7y
Reviewsbylola You totally are! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 @Cinfhen 7y

BooksTeasAndBookishThings Thank you for the tag @sprainedbrain ❤️ I feel the same 😊 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Sharpeipup Thanks for the tag. I am getting a little teary reading all these posts. I‘m friending people who‘re tagged that I haven‘t friended yet, b/c my friends love them. This post is exactly why I love @Litsy and am so thankful for the team who created and maintains our “happy place.” 😘😘📚📚 7y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @LibrarianJen I agree!!! And of course I love the feeling of knowing that even though we are all so far apart, it feels like we have just grown closer and closer ❤️ 7y
TNbookworm Thank you for the tag @sprainedbrain. I am a low-key Litten but enjoy Litsy so much and I appreciate you thinking of me💕 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @kspenmoll Thanks, my friend. I feel like we‘re in sync a lot. It‘s a gift to know you. 😘 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m gonna add one more word and tag. MOTIVATING. Litsy motivated / motivates me to read me, to get creative with posts, and to (ahem) shop for more books. I wouldn‘t be writing a blog again without you guys, and that‘s huge for me. Tagging my nonfiction buddies @Riveted_Reader_Melissa and @Booksandcooks — it‘s great to know you both! 7y
L_auren @Reviewsbylola ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!!! our little book club has been so much fun!! And I love that we‘re not afraid to totally disagree and wet blanket each others‘ favorites in good fun 😂 cc @Booksandcooks @emilyhaldi 7y

FantasyChick @DiruVamp Thanks for the tag! It's been so great getting to know all of you! I know this word has been used before but it can't be stressed enough. SUPPORTIVE!! Whether you are having a bad day or something horrible has happened in your part of the world, the Littens are always there for you. It amazes me still! Shoutout to some of my swap partners I haven't seen tagged yet. @DebbieGrillo @BookishTrish @Jaberwocky 7y
MicheleinPhilly My one word to describe Litsy would be compassionate. There is such a dearth of kindness and respect and empathy these days, especially on the internet, that it is heart-warming to be a member of a community that practices and celebrates all of these things. And I am enormously grateful to Litsy for bringing @LauraBeth into my life. Love ya toots. 😘 (edited) 7y
MicheleinPhilly @Booksandcooks Thank you Meg. Your friendship brightens my days. 😘 7y
RohitSawant @Cinfhen That's so kind of you to say, really appreciate it! And thank you for being such an amazing, unifying presence on Litsy. 😊 7y
ju.ca.no @ephemeralwaltz ooh thanks for tagging me, I can only give it back💕😘 Litsy is such a loving community, there are so many amazing people on here and so many lovely Littens to tag, you all have a big place in my heart! Litsy does feel like a big, loving family instead of a social media platform❤️ @Sarah83 @julesG @Kalalalatja @MayJasper @Mommamanzi @Louise @BookishMarginalia @bookloo and many more Littens that make this place special for me❤️ 7y
Cinfhen I‘m humbled by all this outpouring of love and compassion 🙏🏻thank you @MrBook & @GypsyKat for starting this thread...thank you @Chelsibeau for thinking of me, especially in the same company as @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks & @everlocalwest 😍I learn and grow from each of you every day and feel so blessed to be part of this beautiful family 💘 7y
GypsyKat @Cinfhen Litsy would not be the same without you! 💗 7y
Sarahr875 @Robothugs 💕 thank you. I‘m pretty sure the universe was not thinking when they gave us our separate homes!! Of course I‘d always tag you in this as well. I‘m so grateful for you. I‘ll also tag @Lizpixie my penpal and friend — she has got a huge heart and I just love her! Last I‘ll always tag @Tcip - the litmail rotation stuck us as partners for a reason. We totally get each other. I‘m privileged to call them each my friends (edited) 7y
tpixie @Bookworm83 thanks for the tag! My word for Litsy among all the other ones already chosen is Uplifting. Littens are so kind and hold each other up in love. I have met so many wonderful Littens including all my #CoverToCover Pen pals & @litsybookclub friends! 7y
Andrew65 @ephemeralwaltz Thanks for the tag 😊 and agree with everyone on here and all the comments. Can‘t find one adjective to sum this up but as a phrase, possible all things to all people. A wonderfully positive, supporting and engaging family that is there for us every moment of every day, and as well as the wonderful book discussions and experiences supports people through the tougher days and we all have these! ❤️👍🎄🍾 👇 7y
ItsAngel @sprainedbrain thank you for the tag! ❤️ I am so glad that I‘ve found this community and I‘m honored to be surrounded by all of you wonderful Littens! 7y
Andrew65 Hard to mention one person without forgetting so many but special thanks to @ephemeralwaltz @Cathythoughts @CrowCAH @Sarah83 @TrishB @Ms_T @jpmcwisemorgan @GypsyKat @RealLifeReading @libby1 @bluebird @robinb @DGRachel @cobwebmoth @Lmstraubie @LeahBergen @merelybookish and not forgetting @melissa_j who introduced me to the community. 😊 Apologies to any I‘ve missed! 😬 (edited) 7y
Ms_T Thank you for the tag, @sprainedbrain and @Andrew65. The adjective I use to describe Litsy is a very British one - SUPER! Which adjective would you use, @Birdsong28? 7y
scripturient So many adjectives come to mind but KINDRED seems fitting. 😊 I tag @Sarah83 : what‘s your adjective? 7y
Sarah83 @scripturient adorable 😍 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen I am too!! This is the best place ever!!! I love it and everyone here!! Thank you @Cinfhen and @Robothugs for being so great and patient with me and the #birthdaylove ❤️❤️ And for just being you!! 😘 7y
DebbieGrillo @TheKidUpstairs @Avanders @Clwojick @kspenmoll @cobwebmoth @Andrew65 @Jaberwocky @FantasyChick (Thanks for the tag) @BookishTrish @drokka @CouronneDhiver are among the memorable connections I've made. I know many of you have already been tagged but 💕 The adjective I'd choose is really a noun, #community. 7y
MayJasper Thank you v much @ju.ca.no 😘. Litsy lifts my mood so I would describe it as comforting. As I can't choose @ju.ca.no I will tag @Izai.Amorim @CaroPi and @DuckOfDoom 7y
Jabberwocky @FantasyChick @DebbieGrillo Thank you for the tag! ❤️❤️ My adjective is support. You all have been there for me in a special and important way. Sorry about any double tags! @BookishTrish @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TobeyTheScavengerMonk 7y
DuckOfDoom Litsy is ... perfect! I wouldn't have thought I could connect to so many great people!! 😊I would like to tag @Foxyfictionista because we are #litsypenpals and it always makes me happy writing to you! @drokka for always tagging me in duck related posts (everyone else who tags me may feel tagged, too) and @Heideschrampf because I have a surprise package from her waiting to be opened 7y
Jabberwocky Also @kendrastephaniekaryn! I wanted to add you in my first comment but I always forget what order your names go in! 😅 7y
Lola @sprainedbrain Thank you for the tag ❤️ I‘ve been here since almost the beginning and just love this community. The word I choose is Simpatico-this is an amazing place where My People talk about My Favorite Things 😍I know I‘ll forget people if I start tagging so I‘ll just go with one I haven‘t seen in the post yet. @stargazerblue49 I love how you combine a crazy professional schedule with an active reading life and I ❤️when you post. 😍 all ⬆️ 7y
Izai.Amorim @MayJasper Thanks for the tag! I‘d say it‘s inspiring. 7y

I love everyone on this site though and I enjoy reading everyone's posts. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jaberwocky you‘re so welcome!!! I hope things are better!! Been thinking about you 😘 This is my email loverofbooks75@gmail.com if you need anything! 7y

Centique Thank you @robothugs I still can‘t get over how kind and generous you have been to me and my daughter! This community is a lovely place - kindness is the word for it for me! I‘ve met lots of special people here, who make my heart glad - like you @Cathythoughts and @Reggie and @branwen 💕 7y
RohitSawant @LeahBergen Aw, you're too kind, and I felt likewise, especially when I discovered your love for the Brontës! 😄 7y
Cathythoughts Thankyou @Centique for such lovely words. Yes, kindness is the feeling that is Litsy & I was only saying to my husband it‘s also the love of literature & learning, like taking a course for free. @Cinfhen for being the glue & great reader that keeps us together & Spurs us on @TrishB for your knowledge of endless books @jdtchicago for your knowledgeable quotes & inspiration , this is a place of learning & kindness , adjective: erudite (edited) 7y
JamieArc I would definitely choose Positive. It has been a breath of fresh air to be able to find a social media outlet that is so free of negativity, that feeds me soul and is full of people who are so kind and generous. My husband asked me if Litsy was best find of 2017. Definitely! I also have to tag @MinDea for introducing me to Litsy. It has been really cool to connect with an old friend here 😊 7y
Birdsong28 I would also use Super but also kind, supportive and safe what do u think of them? @Ms_T 📚📖 7y
Ms_T @Birdsong28 Fabulous! 😃📚 7y
Cupofjo Thank you @sprainedbrain and @LibrarianJen ❤️ to you both! I love Litsy and my @LitsyGoesPostalOG Group! I have also developed a wonderfully close friendship with @Annl @BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Bookworm83 along with #lgpog , to name a few 7y
Bookcation74 This chain of comments is fantastic!! Thanks for the shout out @booksandcooks ! The swaps have been so fun this year and a fantastic example that in a year full of stories of meanness and hate that kindness and connectedness can still shine through ❤️ 7y
Bookworm83 @Cupofjo I‘m so grateful for you! 😘 7y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Cupofjo 😘😘😘 same ❤️ 7y
Utopiyll 💕💕 Awh @KirstieE you are as well!! I can't wait to find out what more we have in common 😱 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa One word.... my tribe. 😁. Thank you for thinking of me @mrozzz and @BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘ll add @KVanRead and @Redjewel_7734 and @gezemice to this growing list of Litsy loves! (edited) 7y
Emily92Bibliophile @BarbaraTheBibliophage thank you for the tag! I have loved getting to know you through Litsy and last year‘s Winter Solstice Exchange 💙 My one adjective would be Caring. It amazes me how even while this is all through an app, the people I have connected with through books, similar reads, or even different reading styles are so CARING when we haven‘t even met. That‘s the power of a shared love of BOOKS y‘all- and just some pretty awesome people 💙 7y
tpixie @Emily92Bibliophile thanks for the tag!! Community is the one word I‘d use to describe Litsy! I tag @peaknit and @ferskner ! 7y
britt_brooke @Emily92Bibliophile Thanks for the #litsylove - you‘re pretty awesome yourself! 💚 7y
Branwen Awwww, @Centique ! Thank you so much! I am endlessly grateful for you and the rest of my litsy family! I know it has probably already been used dozens of times, but my one word would be positivity. Because that is exactly what this community generates! I'd like to also tag @rubyslippersreads @CrowCAH @JazzFeathers !!! 7y
everlocalwest @Chelsibeau thank you! I'm so happy to see this post and appreciate you mentioning me! The word that describes Litsy to me is welcoming I've only recently started using the social aspects but already I feel like I am making connections. @Lola was my first swap match and I am still riding the high of her thoughtfulness and generosity. @Mdargusch reached out to me when I mentioned that my furbaby was ill and offered the greatest comfort! 7y
Lola @everlocalwest Aw ❤️ I am so grateful to have connected with you via the swap. I loved putting your box together-it makes me so happy to know that you enjoyed it 😍I hit the 451 limit above before I could give a shout out of appreciation to everyone who organizes swaps, photo challenges and buddy reads and to everyone who participates in them. All of those things help make this community the very special place that it is. (edited) 7y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @JulesG - thank you! I‘m always happy when I see your photos in my feed or in my notifications! I‘d use the word : EXHILARATING because I love that there is a place that we can gush about books ☺️ 7y
Lola Also a shout out to everyone in my @LitsyGoesPostalOG that @sprainedbrain tagged individually above. It‘s been so much fun to get to know a smaller group within the larger community and to see all of the postal groups that have formed here. Shout out to @Faibka who is part of my BOTNS postal group and who I love seeing here and @8little_paws @theshrinkette, & @WhatDeeReads from my local Read Harder group. 😍Tagging @Yeah_I_Read & @AceOnRoam (edited) 7y
MrBook Hey, @Litsy , @jeff , @todd , @kdwinchester , I don't think you could get better advertising for Litsy than this thread & @GypsyKat 😎👌🏻👌🏻. I think this could easily wind up being a couple hundred more comment longer 🙌🏻. Nothing but the best here among the #LitsyFamily. #LitsyLove Everyone, you're all so eye-poppingly superb and most excellent!!! @BookBabe and I are so overjoyed and lucky and humbled to be among you all!!!!! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 (edited) 7y
CrowCAH @Branwen thank you for the tag! ☺️ My Word is: “supportive.” Everyone is supportive of all my posts, two photo challenges (May and October 2017), and adding to my P&P book covers collection! Thanks! Litsy Friends @PirateJenny @sammisho @LeahBergen 7y
Faibka @Lola 😘 thanks! You‘re the reason I‘m here! Thank you for letting me know about Litsy. I love seeing you here and reading your reviews for our postal book club, can‘t wait to see what book you picked for this round! 😉 7y
DebinHawaii @Texreader Somehow I missed your kind words last night. Thank you! You are a wonderful Litten friend to Max and I and I am sorry to hear you've had some bad days lately. Hang in there! Sending hugs! 💜💜💜 7y
peaKnit Supportive is the word I would use, supportive of my book love, never short on recommendations and opportunities! :) I tag @LauraBrook 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Thanks @Jaberwocky All the Litsy love right back at you, friend! @vivastory @xicanti @Moray_Reads you guys are all the best and my one word is HARDCORE (is that a hyphenate?) because Litsy continually challenges and inspires me to up my reading goals. 7y
stargazerblue49 Aww @Lola thank you for thinking of me! After reading several of the responses that are here, I think that all of the things I love about Litsy have already been spoken! I love the warmth and support of this community! I know the people I‘m thinking of have already been tagged, but @DebinHawaii @Texreader @scripturient @LauraBeth are some of the Littens that come to mind who make me smile! (edited) 7y
vivastory @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Thanks! It's been great getting to know you & discuss strange & spectacular books! 7y
ReadingRover @Bookworm83 Thanks for the tag! #Community is my word. I‘d say the best thing about Litsy is the friends I‘ve made through it. It‘s really an amazingly supportive and accepting place. It makes me happy every time I log on. @Mommamanzi @RebelReader @LauraBeth @DGRachel @GypsyKat @sprainedbrain @LibrarianRyan @BookBabe @MrBook @MaleficentBookDragon 7y
megt Thank you for including me in your list @Sharpeipup! I‘ve been away from Litsy for a few days, but this post just epitomizes why I love this app and miss it when I can‘t check in. I‘m so thankful for the welcoming, compassionate community here. Litsy is my happy place! ❤️ 7y
DebinHawaii @stargazerblue49 Thank you for the shout out! I love knowing that I make you smile and the feeling is mutual. Litsy really is full of amazing people. ❤️❤️❤️ 7y
LeahBergen @CrowCAH Awww! Thanks for the tag! You are such a lovely presence here on Litsy and you KNOW how much I love your P&P collection. 😘😘 7y
Avanders @DebbieGrillo Right back at you!! 😘😘😘 7y
sprainedbrain @ReadingRover Thanks for the tag! I just love your posts... we seem to have very similar tastes in books (and audiobooks). ❤️ 7y
DGRachel @ReadingRover Thanks for the tag. {{hugs}} 7y
CrowCAH @LeahBergen I do KNOW, that‘s why I had to tag you as a new “supportive” Litsy friend!!! 🤗☺️ 7y
Mdargusch I‘m so glad I could help in some small way @everlocalwest ! 7y
ferskner Awwwww thanks @tpixie You are a great person to know! My adjective for Litsy is "humble". There are no rockstar attitudes here and no one is trying to boost their social media presence. Just lovely book people! I tag @Librarybelle because we're the same and @BooksForEmpathy because I stalk her for salad ideas. :) 7y
rubyslippersreads Thanks so much for the tag, @Branwen! I don't want to leave anyone out, so rather than tag individuals, I'll paraphrase Dorothy by saying, "Littens are the best friends anybody ever had!" And "There's no place like Litsy." ? 7y
PirateJenny @CrowCAH backatcha! 7y
Annl Thank you @Cupofjo and @sprainedbrain for your tag. The Litsy community is like a second family. I am especially grateful for @jenniferw88 for pen pal and @DebinHawaii for food photos and so many others! 7y
jenniferw88 @Annl right back at you! I love the Litsy community because I am now aware of different reading challenges and I am also using Goodreads groups more. I'm going to tag @ScorpioBookDreams for setting up #whodunituk and @DeborahSmall for introducing me to John Connolly's Charlie Parker series. 7y
DebinHawaii Aww... thanks @Annl I am honored to be in your list of names. There are so many amazing Littens out here. 💜💜💜 7y
josie281 Oh #litsylove it‘s the best. Our litmail group has made my life better. So much love for @Michelle_mck, @Pelican71, @haanim, and @sisilia 7y

Librarybelle I am grateful for this community...good people and good books! Thank you for the tag @ferskner , my book twin! I‘m so glad we got to meet through Litsy. More #LitsyLove to the #PhillyCrew for a wonderful meet up this summer, put together by @Cinfhen . And, I‘m so grateful to have @erista as a #LitsyPenPal . It‘s so fun to converse about books and cats and all things bookish! ❤️❤️❤️ 7y
Jenni_Capps @sprainedbrain thanks for the shoutout!!! ♥️♥️ 7y
Lmstraubie Thanks for the mention @Andrew65 @sprainedbrain and @KCorter! This place is amazing! So much positive energy and good talk. Everyone is incredibly supportive. I love that I can ask any bookish question and know that I will get a thoughtful, and sometimes quite funny, answer. This place makes my day everyday!!! ( @KCorter - we may need to do another one soon!!) A few mentions @Lacythebookworm @wife @Smangela @merelybookish @amie @Peddler410 7y
Nonaroo I would say wonderful! I truly love this community. It‘s so hard to pick a specific Litten because I think all of you are amazing and I‘m so glad to get to know you all over the past year. Thank you @Mimi28! I am so glad I met you through Litsy. I want to throw some love to @ScrappyMags for being full of grace, strength and humor. Lots of love to you! 💕 7y
Smangela you know you have your favorite spot that just makes you feel cozy & comfy & frankly, elated? That is Litsy. Even when I‘m busy in the real world, coming back to this app is like coming home to all your best friends. I love adding to my TBR, seeing other bookworms who love books, building friendships, experiencing the charitable hearts of so many of the users @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @mrsmarch @sdbruening @sarah @Callemarie somanymorethereisntroom 7y
PatriciaU The Litsy experience is genuine. There‘s no BS here. I feel especially lucky & blessed to be part of the #LitsyGoesPostalOG where I have met all the wonderful people tagged by @sprainedbrain. All the people in that group are awesome, especially @Dogearedcopy who sends me the most wonderful, thoughtful packages. I‘ll also tag @MrsV and @Tiffy_Reads from#WhuDunItByMail, who are also pretty cool, and swap gurus @MaleficentBookDragon & @BookishMarginalia (edited) 7y
Texreader Thank you for the shout out @Emily92Bibliophile ! You are an awesome Litten and I‘ve enjoyed following you!! Litsy remains my second HOME! 7y
AceOnRoam Thanks for tagging me @Lola and what a great post @MrBook you are certainly one person that defines Litsy for me. There are so many others that I've been following from my first day on here a year ago you are all so wonderful and accepting. 7y

The husband took me out to dinner! Some things:

1. Just discovered the stickers for the pictures! 😂😎 #lifechanging
2. Is it rude to bring a book to a restaurant? I feel like it‘s ok but I think it‘s pretty controversial.📚🍽🍺

WanderingBookaneer 1. 😂 2. I never leave home without a book or two! 7y

When it comes to healthy eating I'm #MyOwnWorstEnemy but after seeing @emilymorgan post about the Whole30 program and with encouragement from @saresmoore @LauraBeth & @britt_brooke I tackled the Whole30 beast and it really was #lifechanging 😊It's been 6 months and I'm pretty much dairy free, grain free and I feel awesome!!! #90sInJuly

Laura317 I need to try this. I have high cholesterol and really don't want to control it with diet. My kids are such picky eaters though. I might be doing it alone. 7y
Megabooks I feel like this would be a good idea for me, but I have so many allergies, it's difficult to find something to eat period. 🤔🤔 My friend Beth talked about the difficulty of cooking when you're single. It can be very unrewarding, and who wants to eat leftover fish? I love fish, but I never cook it for that reason. 7y
Cinfhen @Laura317 I had terrible digestive/stomach issues and the w30 plan really eliminated those issues. Initially I was doing the plan alone but over time my hubby & son joined in on a modified plan and they were very satisfied. The first 10 days are hell...but once you find your groove it's smooth sailing ⛵️ 7y

Cinfhen @Booksandcooks it's definitely a lifestyle commitment and with food allergies it would be extra challenging but the reward would be worth it! I sleep better, I breathe better, I move better, I FEEL BETTER 7y
BarbaraBB What a great achievement! 💪 7y
saresmoore 🙌💪 7y
Karkar I was thinking of trying it but I cannot have nuts which makes it super hard.. 😞 7y
LauraBeth You're amazing! 💪💪 7y
britt_brooke This is awesome!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Hubby and I need to get stricter with paleo again. It makes you feel so good! And look good, too (bonus)! We eat clean most of the time, but can always do better. You're inspiring!! 7y
LauraBeth @Booksandcooks I LOVE fish but no one else in my house does. But I've discovered that Costco sells single serve packages of fish in their frozen section. Salmon, Mahi Mahi, Tilapia...so I'll buy bags of those and then will defrost one for myself for dinner. They also sell really good salmon burgers. 🐟 Here's how you can re-frame cooking for one: it's awesome because you get to always make what YOU want! 7y

Megabooks I'm allergic to salmon 😩😩 (And shellfish too, FWIW.) I don't know where the Costco is around me. There's a Sam's nearby, but that's not the same. @LauraBeth (edited) 7y

Cinfhen Thanks so much @monkeygirlsmama @Robothugs @L_auren @emilyhaldi @LibrarianJen @Reviewsbylola and especially you @emilymorgan I NEVER thought I could give up dairy & grains ☺️I definitely have moments when I pop an m&m or two in my mouth or that chocolate chip banana chunk muffin but for the most part I'm eating clean, and my digestive issues are under control ✅ 7y
emilymorgan @Cinfhen you are so welcome! It is life changing. I don't eat gluten at all anymore but I did add back in dairy and some non-refined sugars. If you want some recipes, check out my blog! Link in profile 😊 I am so glad it worked for you! You are amazing! 7y

I love how honest Malcolm X is in this book about how and why his beliefs changed over time. He took all of his experiences to heart and allowed those experiences to continue to shape the man he became.

Smartypants @TheNextBook I first read this book when I was 12 and several more times. Each time, I find a new gem or nugget I missed. As he describes his evolving beliefs, I find it more and more beautiful to read again. This book changed my life! #lifechanging #beautiful 7y
TheNextBook @Smartypants it's amazing and it's horrible knowing how he died and the reasons why, the conspiracy behind it. 7y
Smartypants @TheNextBook I totally agree! So many people have no idea how he evolved over time, before his assassination. One of the greatest tenacious speakers of our time! 7y
