Litsy

Circe | Madeline Miller

I have never really been into Greek #mythology or magical realism, but I am really loving this book. I‘m not quite caught up on this week‘s #LitsyBuddyRead suggested reading, but that‘s only because I have been trying to finish #OurHouse before my First-to-Read loan expires. #Circe is definitely a #quickread. #ReadingResolutions #BOTM

Don‘t forget week 2 is chpts. 8-14! Looking forward to discussing this week‘s chapters with you! #LitsyBuddyRead

MinDea, Jess7, LitsyBuddyRead

Mamashep You sort of forget this is mythology and just sort of feel like you‘re reading about people, albeit people with crazy talents! 6y

Jess7 Is anyone in the #Cincinnati #Ohio or #Kentucky #NKY area going to the #Circe author event tonight at Joseph Beth? @Pamwurtzler @Karkar @Chelleo @LeshaMac @TK421 ?? 6y

Chelleo @Jess7 Sadly, no. Wasn‘t even on my radar ☹️ 6y

The Book of Questions: Business, Politics and Ethics | Gregory Stock

Time for the bookish discussion question of the day 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! This one may require some sleuthing 🤓. Here it is: Which Litten is the geographically closest one to you? #BookTalk (mine's easy 😆: @BookBabe 😍😍😍😘!!!)

britt_brooke I think it‘s @Booksnchill 👍🏻 7y

CocoReads I‘m almost sure it‘s @eanderson ! 7y

DGRachel This feels like cheating, since my Mom lives with me, but it would be @dsfisher 😂 7y

See All 110 Comments

CocoReads Well, no-I guess it would be my sister @Missysbooks but @eanderson I‘d probably my closest non related Litten. 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m guessing @BarbaraTheBibliophage or @BooksForYears (edited) 7y

Betty @Soubhiville less than 5 miles 7y

Book_in_hands @Melissa_J is the closest to me! 7y

erinreads I found out recently that @Chelsibeau lives fairly close to me! We live in a big county in MD, but she‘s not toooo far. Also, someone lives in the zip code where I work in DC, which is only 4 miles from where I live, so it might be them, whoever they are! 🤷🏼‍♀️ 7y

Sarah83 I think it's @scripturient 🤗 7y

Pogue I have no idea, but I would love to find out! 7y

Booksnchill @britt_brooke there is another litten in Murfreesboro but cannot recall who right now- I think we are the trio closest! 7y

cobwebmoth @TK421 😊 I know of several Littens that live an hour away from me. 7y

Melissa_J @Book_in_hands I think @rabbitprincess might also be close 😊 7y

Book_in_hands @Melissa_J I will have to follow her 7y

neet_reads Maybe @Lizpixie ?? Or @emmanoble ?? I'm definitely between the two. I can't think of any other Littens in the Sydney area 7y

JSW It‘s likely @TaylorMay or @ReadOrDieRachel as I think they are both in the SF Bay Area. I don‘t know anyone closer to or in Santa Cruz. If that‘s you, announce yourself!! 👋🏻😀 7y

Lwiesman @Tadams4 we live in the same town! 7y

Graciouswarriorprincess @MallenNC We work at the same place. 7y

britt_brooke @Booksnchill Yes, you‘re right! it‘s @mom2bugnbee 👍🏻 7y

MicheleinPhilly Pretty sure mine is @Captivatedbybooks. 7y

SpeculativeFemale I honestly don't know. Any others here in rural western PA? LOL 7y

mrsmarch No idea! Any Bostonians/South Shore Littens? If there‘s no one east of 93 then it‘s @PinkMeghan. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I think the closest to me are @sunflowers and @Robothugs - but there are several others nearby including @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BooksForYears @LiteraryinLititz @TsundokuAleax and @Librarybelle . I just met @MyNightstandRunnethOver on Litsy and she‘s nearby also. I‘m thinking of a Meetup over winter in Lancaster. Hopefully we can pull it off! 7y

MrsMalaprop I only know of a couple near me in Perth, Western Australia: my friend @Jeg and @tif Are there any other West Aussies out there? 7y

tif Yes, West Australia represent!! 👊 7y

cathysaid I think @Bookladylinda and @Yellowpigeon are closest to me (near ATL). 7y

Jerdencon I think @NCNY is pretty close to me 7y

TaylorMay @JSW I'm in Sacramento so @ReadOrDieRachel is probably the closest to both of us! Lol 7y

tournevis A know a few in Ontario, and @LA_Mead is not too far away, but if there are Ottawa peeps, I have not yet been made asare. 7y

tournevis "aware", of course. 7y

whimsy @batsy! 7y

Robothugs Looks like @BarbaraTheBibliophage did the work for me! 😝 7y

Smangela @Callemarie ♥️ 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Sounds Great! I‘ve only met a few of them, maybe there are more closer to me than I realized. 7y

ReadingRover Hmmm I live right outside NYC so probably anyone who lives there I don‘t think anyone else lives in Westchester that I know of. Or maybe people who live in Connecticut are close to me if they‘re in Danbury, Ridgefield, Greenwich or Stamford. Now I‘m super curious!!! 7y

Callemarie Haha def @Smangela 7y

Yellowpigeon @cathysaid if I wasn't so crummy at organizing, I would say we should do a meet up 7y

NCNY @Jerdencon Yup. Queens! 7y

CoffeeK8 @ReadingRover I️ live in Rockland, so we might be close! 7y

emmanoble Yup! @neet_reads only other litten I can think of is @Michelle_mck Sydney litsy meet-up anyone? 😉 (edited) 7y

Smangela @Callemarie Do we know anymore Cle Littens? We should do a Litsy meet up this summer if there are! 7y

ApoptyGina69 Mine‘s easy too! @Crystalblu uh, wait, not “easy” 😂Love ya rockstar! 💥🤩 7y

TK421 @cobwebmoth I'm sitting across from her right now!😀 7y

ReadingRover @CoffeeK8 Oh cool! I‘m over the bridge in Somers. We‘re not far at all! 7y

CoffeeK8 @ReadingRover not at all! 7y

GondorGirl Easy! @hyperhawlk lives 10 minutes from me. We're in Toledo, Ohio. 7y

CAnne I would say @Bookzombie 7y

MyNightstandRunnethOver @BarbaraTheBibliophage a winter meet up would be great! 7y

LA_Mead @TheEscapist is the closest geographically! 7y

BibliophileMomma I think @CocoReads is. Am I right?! Lol I live in southern Indiana about an hour or so from Kentucky (edited) 7y

CocoReads @Tiffy_Reads we are in the same state but @eanderson is in Ft. Wayne so she‘s probably halfway between us. I‘m pretty much at the opposite end. Five minutes and I‘m in Michigan. 7y

MoMogrl I actually don't know. I live in Central Connecticut right outside Hartford. I know there is someone who I follow nearby, but I don't know who! 🤔 7y

eanderson @CocoReads and @Tiffy_Reads Hoosiers!!!! 7y

CarolynM Anyone else in Victoria, Australia? @tif @neet_reads @Lizpixie and @emmanoble It's nice to meet some other Australian Littens 7y

drokka I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's @mcctrish We live in the same-ish part of the city. 7y

tif @CarolynM 👋 7y

Callemarie @Smangela I don‘t but I would love that 7y

sarahbellum I didn‘t know you were in Santa Cruz, @JSW! I‘m in Oakland. Do you know any other Bay Area folks? I only know @KVanRead is in SF. (edited) 7y

mom2bugnbee @britt_brooke @Booksnchill Yes, I'm in Mboro! Rebecca, where are you? Looking forward to our meet up! 7y

Booksnchill @mom2bugnbee off of Cason Lane 7y

Rachel.Rencher Mine is easy, too! It's @Lucas.Rencher 😉 (currently using him as a foot rest/ personal space heater) 7y

britt_brooke @mom2bugnbee @Booksnchill Are you guys both in Murfreesboro? I‘m in Hendersonville. 😁 And @BooksTeasAndBookishThings is in Clarksville. Can‘t wait to meet you all! I‘ll post a reminder for the meet up soon in case anyone else wants to join us. 7y

mom2bugnbee @Booksnchill Wow! I'm near MTSU. Yes, @britt_brooke, she's in Mboro also. Awesome! 7y

readordierachel @TaylorMay @JSW Hi, fellow Northern Californians! 🖑🏼 I believe @cocomass and @BooksForEmpathy are here too. 7y

JSW @sarahbellum oooh! I grew up in Oakland till about Junior High! ❤️ i don‘t know others in the Bay, I‘m trying to find them! @TaylorMay I lived in Sac for 18 years - worked at Sac State. 7y

Captivatedbybooks @MicheleinPhilly i think you are my closest buddy too 7y

Pamwurtzler @kitty_reads is sitting next to me, so it must be her! Otherwise I think @Jess7 , @MarriedtoMrT and @Chelleo are in Cincinnati, and @Karkar is just across the river in NKY 7y

Chelleo @Tiffy_Reads you're not far...I'm in southwest Oh along with all the folks @Pamwurtzler named 7y

Chelleo @Pamwurtzler @LeshaMac is here too 7y

Pamwurtzler @Chelleo yes! Thanks I knew there was someone missing. Hi @LeshaMac ! 7y

TaylorMay Oops I almost forgot I got @sandrakelsey to join!!! She's not on here much yet but she'd be my closest! @ReadOrDieRachel @sarahbellum @cocomass @BooksForEmpathy 👋 Hi!! And @JSW I just graduated from there a few years ago 😊 7y

Chelleo I think @stacybmartin may be those closest to me after seeing a postal receipt from Jungle Jims. 7y

LeshaMac @Pamwurtzler Hi! 7y

LeshaMac @Chelleo I think you are 7y

rabbitprincess @Melissa_J @Book_in_hands Yay!! 😊 7y

rabbitprincess @tournevis Ottawa peep over here 😄 7y

tournevis @rabbitprincess Hi! 👋👋👋 7y

scripturient @Heideschrampf She literally lives just across the river. 😊 7y

scripturient And geographically second closest would be @Sarah83 🙋🏻‍♀️ 7y

rwmg So, any littens in SE Asia? 7y

Lizpixie @neet_reads there‘s two other Sydney Littens I know, @Michelle_mck and @Gillyreads @CarolynM there‘s a few in victoria I know, @LeeRHarry @thegirlwiththelibrarybag and in Adelaide there‘s @LazyOwl 7y

Bookzombie @CAnne Probably. 🙂 I think @Aloisi_tribe and @Texreader are probably nearest me from what I can tell. 7y

CarolynM @Lizpixie thanks for that. I know @thegirlwiththelibrarybag and @michelle_mck but not the others. @TheDoubleLetterThief and @Joanne1 are also Australian but I don't know where they are. (edited) 7y

cocomass @TaylorMay @ReadOrDieRachel @sarahbellum @BooksForEmpathy @JSW @sandrakelsey 👋🏽 hi Bay Area littens! I think @KVanRead is nearby as well! 7y

Lizpixie @CarolynM there‘s a few in Qld as well, @Sue @Marchpane and in WA @MrsMalaprop @tif I know there‘s more but I‘m having a brain fart at the moment! 7y

Jess7 Yep - I work and live in the #Cincinnati / #NKY area so - I think it‘s probably one of these Littens: @Pamwurtzler @Karkar @Chelleo @stacybmartin @LeshaMac @MarriedtoMrT and @kitty_reads but at this exact moment I‘m at my parents house visiting in the western Ky area for Christmas, so it may be be @britt_brooke (in #Nashville)? (edited) 7y

Crystalblu No sleuth thing required! As the crow flies @ApoptyGina69 is probably 3 miles from me! 7y

buecherwurm I know that @scripturient is close to me so if she says @Heideschrampf and @Sarah83 are close to her probably any of the three 7y

julesG I guess I'm with @buecherwurm. @scripturient might be the closest, but my German geographical knowledge is bonkers, so it might also be @Sarah83 or @Heideschrampf or even @Maike or @DuckOfDoom. 7y

Heideschrampf I am right half-way between @sarah83 and @scripturient, so @buecherwurm shouldnt be too far! @jules, we're in ruhrgebiet, @maike and @DuckOfDoom are in hamburg, so there's quite a lot to cover^^ 7y

Maike My German geographical knowledge is probably as bonkers as yours, @julesG. But I can say that @DuckOfDoom is the closest 😄 7y

julesG @Heideschrampf I'm about halfway between all of you, in Puddingtown a.k.a. Bielefeld. Ruhrgebiet is probably closer than Hamburg, though. 7y

kezzlou85 I have no idea. Any Littens live in Norfolk England? 7y

Melissa_J @tournevis are you in Ottawa, too? 7y

Karkar Look at all of us Cincinnati/NKY Littens! @Jess7 @Pamwurtzler @kitty_reads @Chelleo @MarriedtoMrT @stacybmartin @LeshaMac I think usually @Jess7 is the closest when I am at home. Otherwise it is @Pamwurtzler and @kitty_reads 7y

britt_brooke @Jess7 Hope you guys have a nice visit! We‘re heading up to my folks‘ Christmas Day. 💚 7y

tournevis @Melissa_J It is indeed my place of residence! 😎😋 7y

Bookladylinda I‘m in Atlanta, well I actually live in the burbs, Duluth Georgia and I‘m sure that there are a few kittens that live close to me! Hey Atlanta Littens, where you at??? 😂😂😂😂 7y

cathysaid @Yellowpigeon I don't mind organizing. Just have to figure out who is near ATL. I thought about trying to organize around the Decatur Book Festival. 7y

Sharpeipup I think it‘s @StephBengtson but I am not sure. 7y

KVanRead @sarahbellum and I were just saying it would be fun to plan a Bay Area Litten meetup! @cocomass @TaylorMay @ReadOrDieRachel @BooksForEmpathy @JSW @sandrakelsey Also tagging @RealLifeReading @SoniaC @jas16 If y‘all know any other BayArea Littens, tag ‘em! (edited) 7y

SoniaC @KVanRead oh what a terrific idea! 7y

RealLifeReading @rwmg I'm from Singapore but live in California now. But @Chachic @GatheringBooks are in Southeast Asia 7y

RealLifeReading I know @HardcoverHearts is in the Bay Area too @KVanRead 7y

HardcoverHearts @RealLifeReading - It‘s true! 7y

mcctrish Living in London Ontario means @drokka @StellaDz @Jenshootsweddings (edited) 7y

KVanRead @mcctrish @drokka @StellaDz Hello London ON ladies! Small world I went to Western! 7y

drokka @KVanRead There are at least 7 of us in London and environs. If you ever come back for Homecoming or a reunion let us know @mcctrish @StellaDz 7y

KVanRead @drokka Nice! Will do.😊 7y

rwmg @RealLifeReading Cool. I am based in Jakarta 7y

Walking Cincinnati: 32 Tours Exploring Historic Neighborhoods, Stunning Riverfront Quarters, and Hidden Treasures in the Queen City | Danny Korman, Katie Meyer

Fellow Littens! I need your help. If you are located in the Cincinnati area, can you provide suggestions on locations to live? Thank you!!! #moving #cincinnati #ohio

Jess7 I live in this area! Where are you looking at specifically? Do you have any questions about particular areas of #Cincinnati? Is it just you or are you married, kids, etc? #Ohio #Cincy #Cinci #Nky #Kentucky #KY #OH. - there are several of us in here - I‘ll tag others for you too 7y

Jess7 Here are a few others: @Karkar @Pamwurtzler @Chelleo @MarriedtoMrT @stacybmartin (edited) 7y

Smartypants @Jess7 it is just me, single and mom of an 18 year old, he's homeschooled and on the autism spectrum. I'll be working downtown. Northside, Oakley, Norwood, Clifton have been recommended to me but would love to get other ideas. I'll be renting for the first year or two I'm there until I get a better feel for where I want to be permanently. All help is appreciated! 7y

See All 17 Comments

Jess7 #Oakley or #HydePark are nice areas, but likely expensive. Parts of #Norwood and #Clifton are good. You might also consider the Kentucky side too: #Covington (the historical district - is nice, and very walkable). Parts of #Newport too. If you‘re renting these areas might be worth considering bc you could be really close to downtown (5-8 minutes) but the rent might be less. Definitely less than downtown. 7y

Smartypants @jess7 this is super helpful! I'm also looking for a diverse area and access to public transportation for my son. He is high-functioning so hoping this move allows him to develop more independent living skills. 7y

Jess7 The NKY Tank bus system and the shuttle are very good. Both stop downtown and in Newport. The Tank has a lot of convenient stops and includes areas with park and rides that are very close to downtown. The bus ride from Newport to downtown is only 10 minutes with stops so it sometimes makes more sense that paying for downtown parking. The metro bus services downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. I haven‘t ridden it but I‘m sure it‘s fine. (edited) 7y

Smartypants @Jess7 you are amazing! This information is so helpful. I hadn't considered NKY because I didn't know if the public transportation is sufficient. I'm so excited to be coming to Ohio! 7y

Jess7 You‘re welcome. Check out the Tank‘s website. If you move to the Newport area you would probably be taking the 16 and 25, or the 20. You can check out their website to figure out the route. The bus drivers are very friendly and if you ever needed help figuring out which route to take google is pretty good at showing you which routes or I would be happy to help. 7y

Karkar I also live in NKY and commute into downtown Cincinnati...you will find housing in NKY is cheaper and you get more house. 7y

Chelleo Thanks for the tag @Jess7 I'm not that familiar with NKY but agree it's definitely worth looking into. Pleasant Ridge, Golf Manor, Wyoming, White Oak, College Hill, Silverton and Finnytown are also nice and within the 275 loop. Check for RITA taxes because they can get pretty high depending on the municipality. (edited) 7y

Smartypants @Chelleo thank you for sharing! I have a friend in Finneytown and another in Norwood so your suggestions are a great add! @Jess7 thank you for saving me hours of research! I'd love to have a diverse area, walkable also to a coffeshop or restaurant as well. It seems like all of your suggestions allow for that too! @Karkar perhaps once I get settled we can do lunch! I'm excited about all these #littens in the area! 7y

Chelleo When will you relocate? A few folks are meeting up next weekend for Books By The Banks (which I'll miss 😢). But maybe we can plan another get together shortly after you relocate. 7y

Smartypants @Chelleo I'm flying in this week for my final interview and I should know shortly after. If I'm made an offer, I'll likely be back next weekend to house hunt etc. If all goes well, I'll be an Ohioan again by Thanksgiving. I'd love to meet up with you! 7y

stacybmartin I don‘t have much info about living downtown or in the Covington/Newport area - I live near the airport in Boone County, about a 15 minute drive from downtown. But, KY is definitely cheaper than downtown. Welcome to Cincy though @Smartypants! 7y

SilversReviews I hope your final interview goes well. Best of luck finding a place to live. I live in Pittsburgh so I can‘t be of any help. :) 7y

MarriedtoMrT I live deep West Side in conservative suburban territory. We‘re here because housing is more affordable and the public schools are great. It is not super public transit accessible nor a walking community. I would second (third?) Northside. I think Oakley and Norwood would suit, too. Also maybe look at Fairfax on the East side of town and possibly Madisonville/Madison Place. Good luck with your interview! 7y

Pamwurtzler Most of of what I would recommend has already been mentioned - Northside, Clifton, Oakley. Public transit (bus) is good in Cincinnati. Good luck with your interview & welcome!! 7y

The Bookstore | Deborah Meyler

Had to take a little break from all the forensic people to run over to the closest independent bookstore - The Booksellers on Fountain Square in lovely Cincinnati, OH.

MarriedtoMrT You're in my city! I was just downtown for a meeting this morning but at the library a few blocks north of the square. Have to admit, I don't think I've ever been to that bookstore! 🙈 7y

Jess7 I live here too! #Cincinnati @MarriedtoMrT and @stacybmartin 7y

Karkar So do I and @Pamwurtzler and @kitty_reads 7y

See All 32 Comments

Karkar That bookstore is actually right down the street from where I work too! 😃 7y

Pamwurtzler I have never been in that bookstore. That is ridiculous and I will rectify that asap!!! @Karkar 7y

Karkar @Pamwurtzler we should go to lunch at the square and then go 😃 7y

mrozzz Beautiful 😁 7y

stacybmartin @MarriedtoMrT @Jess7 @Karkar @Pamwurtzler @kitty_reads any Cincy littens going to Books by the Banks next month? We should do a Litsy meetup! 7y

kitty_reads @stacybmartin ooooh fun! Do you know when it is?? 7y

Karkar @stacybmartin I am in!!! 7y

stacybmartin @kitty_reads Pretty sure it's Saturday Oct. 28th from 10-4ish at the Duke Energy Convention Center. Free admission and you can either buy books there or bring your own copies. They have a website with all the authors that are signed up to come so far. (edited) 7y

drbethandherkindle @Chelleo I can't make it, but thought you might want to join the Cincy Littens! 7y

Pamwurtzler I'm in! 7y

Jess7 I want to do it! Maybe we could meet for a brunch or something before it begins or something like that. @stacybmartin 7y

Chelleo 😫😫😫I'm out of town that weekend!!! Family vacation and my birthday. I'd love to join in in the next one!!!! 7y

Chelleo @drbethandherkindle thanks for tagging me! 7y

Jess7 I'm excited about this! Here is a link for more info: http://booksbythebanks.org/about/ 7y

Jess7 @SassyPants617 here is the thread where the #cincinnatimeetup was discussed for #booksbythebanks (edited) 7y

Jess7 @Luv2readbookz a few of us are getting together for #booksbythebanks this year - did you do a litsy meet up last year for it? Who else on litsy is from this area that we should reach out to 7y

Jess7 @SharonGoforth 7y

Jess7 @Redjewel_7734 here is a thread discussing a #cincinnatimeetup - feel free to join the discussion! 7y

SharonGoforth Thanks for the tag! I usually go to Books By the Banks, but will be traveling that day to visit my family. Maybe next year! @Jess7 (edited) 7y

Redjewel_7734 @Jess7 Thanx for the tag! I so wish I could join in on this one, but my son's final marching band competition is that day. Maybe the next one 😊 7y

Luv2readbookz @jess7 We volunteer at the Monroe library until 2:00 so if we go this year it will be later. Would move to meet other kittens though. (edited) 7y

Jess7 That's ok. @Redjewel_7734 @SharonGoforth and @Luv2readbookz - maybe we can organize another #cincinnatmeetup somewhere in #ohio or #kentucky ( #nky) in the future! 7y

Chelleo Yes, a #cincylittens #cincinnatimeetup needs to happen...maybe we can plan something for early 2018 once we get thru the holidays? @Jess7 @SharonGoforth @Redjewel_7734 @Luv2readbookz @SassyPants617 @drbethandherkindle @stacybmartin @Pamwurtzler @KittyReads @Karkar @MarriedtoMrT 7y

Pamwurtzler @Chelleo that sounds good to me! 7y

SharonGoforth @Chelleo Ok! 7y

Karkar @Chelleo Yes!!!! 7y

Redjewel_7734 @Chelleo That would be great 😁 7y

stacybmartin @Chelleo that sounds great! 7y

Luv2readbookz Sounds like something to look forward to in the drab winter. @Chelleo 7y
