#BlameItOnLitsy 🤗 Look what I found in the charity shop❣️❣️❣️Both books have recently been mentioned so how could I pass up the opportunity?!? And like @miralunasbooknook says IN EXCHANGE FOR MY DONATION I WAS GIVEN BOOKS!!!
Cinfhen I‘m pretty sure you first put this book on my radar @SledgeReader ❤️ 7y

Cinfhen Yup!!! I‘m so glad you shared your wisdom with me 😜 @miralunasbooknook 7y
BookNerd9906 This has been on my #tbr for years. I have it, just haven‘t read it yet. 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen As a dear friend of mine always said - “I‘m so jealous! You get to read it for the first time!” I miss her so much. ❤️ maybe it‘s time I read![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
Lonesome Dove: A Novel 7y
Lonesome Dove: A NovelTrishB Charitable donations are a cool source of books. I love my local charity shops. 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen @miralunasbooknook Every book deserves a good home! 7y
Godmotherx5 I hope the books don‘t disappoint. I‘m a huge fan of The Sparrow. 7y
Cinfhen I only know of two in my neighborhood here but they‘ve been pretty good @TrishB and for $2 or less you can‘t be too disappointed 7y
Cinfhen @BookNerd9906 maybe we can organize a buddy read !?!?? 7y
Cinfhen I didn‘t love #LoneDove but the others really did @SledgeReader 🤞🏼🤞🏼 for the Sparrow @Godmotherx5 I know it‘s popular on Litsy💕 7y
KathyWheeler I loved both of these books but am particularly fond of The Sparrow. 7y
HardcoverHearts Oh man- The Sparrow is such a different reading experience! I thought I understood what I would be reading, going into it, but was blown away. Now I grab copies of that book every time I see it in a used bookstore because it‘s rare. I am always on the hunt for a hardback first edition. I hope you like it! 7y
BookNerd9906 @Cinfhen I would love that!!!!! 7y
Cinfhen @HardcoverHearts I‘ll keep my eyes out for you...I paid fifty cents for my copy today 😉 7y
Cinfhen Cool @BookNerd9906 How does beginning of June sound??? 7y
HardcoverHearts @Cinfhen - that would be great! I should mention that I buy them and then give them away to people who I think are looking for a deep and different type of book. I find this and 84, Charing Cross Road are the ones I give away most. 😉 7y
Cinfhen Oooh; 84, Charing Cross is still on my TBR... @HardcoverHearts 😁84, Charing Cross Road 7y
84, Charing Cross RoadHardcoverHearts @Cinfhen They are obviously very different genres, but both are so remarkable and unforgettable in a way that speaks to book lovers, imho. 7y
Flaneurette I‘ve had both of these on my tbr forever. Good find! 7y
Cinfhen Thanks @Flaneurette I‘m happy to share them with u after I read them...it just might be a few months 🙄 7y
Flaneurette Thank you @Cinfhen I do own them I just have to get around to actually reading them! 7y
Katerina I love the Housekeeper and the Professor. Have tissues handy. Such a simple and elegant way to evoke emotion without over the top drama. 7y
Cinfhen Ha!! So you should join in on our casual no pressure buddy read of Sparrow @Flaneurette @BookNerd9906 7y
Cinfhen I‘ve heard such good things about both books @Katerina @KathyWheeler 😄 7y
BookNerd9906 @Cinfhen @Flaneurette beginning of June buddy read for The Sparrow sounds great. I‘m in! 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen Oooh! Buddy read of The Sparrow sounds amazing! How do I get in on this? I‘m a newbie. 7y
Blaire Loved housekeeper and the professor - remember crying during it. 7y
Cinfhen I‘ll put up a post with dates but my buddy reads tend to be super low key @SledgeReader @BookNerd9906 @Flaneurette Any chance you want to take the lead @SledgeReader since you read it before??? Basically you would post a few questions each week to create a dialogue about the book! No pressure... 7y
Cinfhen I haven‘t looked to see if the book is broken into parts, that‘s usually the best way to space the buddy read @SledgeReader 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen I'd love to facilitate the buddy read! I imagine it drives itself after the questions are posted. I'll investigate others for a format and check in with you before going crazy. 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen The book doesn't have parts. Suggest we break it into blocks of 100 pages per week. Can we then pace ourselves based on how we are doing? There is room for a LOT of big discussion at the end which we may not come out in the break down. @Flaneurette @BookNerd9906 Start on June 1? It would be an awesome TGIF present. I'm about to kick to the curb my book group book. (I'd have to look up the title first. It's not blasphemy for The Sparrow) 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen @Flaneurette @BookNerd9906 Should point there is a sequel that most everyone wants to read afterwards.Children Of God 7y
Children Of GodCinfhen Yes @SledgeReader 💯 a hundred pages per week is perfect for a buddy read!!! And I‘m sure all the readers will want to continue on with the sequel....so excited to start June 1! Once you post your “reading schedule “ I‘ll repost too to help spread the word!!! Also if you tag @LitsyHappenings they will share it too!!! Thanks for jumping in and taking the reigns ❤️🙌🏻 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen @Flaneurette @BookNerd9906 I‘m very excited to work my first buddy read. I‘ve got the schedule together. Just need to struggle with my graphic a bit - it‘s the only way I‘ll learn. Hope to have it up by morning. Thanks @Cinfhen for your mentorship! 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen @Flaneurette @BookNerd9906 I‘m very excited to work my first buddy read. I‘ve got the schedule together. Just need to struggle with my graphic a bit - it‘s the only way I‘ll learn. Hope to have it up by morning. Thanks @Cinfhen for your mentorship! 7y
Cinfhen If you need assistance with the graphics let me know @SledgeReader two good apps are pic collage & Typorama 😘 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen I‘ve got the buddy read posted. Please feel free to jump in with guidance. Do we actually start reading on June 1 or discuss on that day? 7y
Cinfhen We discuss at the end of each week! Graphics look awesome!! You can post each question individually under a spoiler. 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen Excited to start The Sparrow in the morning. Hope I can sleep! Please feel free to reign me in when I go out on a limb. 😉 7y
Cinfhen I guess we need to remove the word Litsy from the buddy read hashtag @SledgeReader 🤣😂and we can just use #TheSparrow or #Priestsinspace but that might be offensive 🙃🤷♀️ 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen Got it done over an hour ago. Went with #TheSparrow. Not creative enough to think of #Priestsinspace. 😉Plus I‘ve caused enough controversy for one night. 😢 7y
Cinfhen It‘s a bit ridiculous but whatever.... it‘s fine!!! Can‘t wait @SledgeReader 7y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen Thanks! 😘Have a fabulous morning of adventure! Lights out for me! 7y
