I had read the first chapter back during #scarathlon, then was distracted by other reads, but I finally finished, and it is very much a classic. A slow burn Gothic horror with tons of atmosphere and dread.

Bookwomble I'm glad you've enjoyed it. I've stalled about ⅓ in. I've not given up, but it's not fully drawn me in. 2mo

FlowerFairy Have been reading this one off and on for a couple of months. Keep getting distracted by other books. 2mo

dabbe One of my top five faves of all time! 🤩 2mo

rretzler I haven‘t read it for many, many years but have read it several times. A great book! 2mo

SpellboundReader This is the #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade book for April should anyone want the extra encouragement to finish it. 2mo

rubyslippersreads One of my very favorite books! 2mo

TieDyeDude @bookwomble @flowerfairy I hadn't read any “classic“ literature in a while, so it took a while for me to adjust to the long descriptions of meals, social calls, etc. The first third is completely different from the rest of the book. Definitely a slow-burn read. It took me a couple weeks to read the first 2/3, then two night to read the rest 😅 2mo

Bookwomble @FlowerFairy That's been my process with it, too 😏 2mo

Bookwomble @BeeCurious I'd like to finish it before March is out, but may join in if not 😊 2mo

The Complete Little Women: Little Women, Good Wives, Little Men, Jo's Boys | Louisa May Alcott

1. I think Anne Elliot is my favorite, but I also love Lizzy and Elinor.
2. I can‘t decide. It‘s obviously one of Jane Austen‘s characters, but I love them all. Okay not all, but Mr. Darcy, Mr. Knightley, Captain Wentworth, Edward Ferras, Colonel Brandon - they all share 1. place 😬
3. Little women. I really like it, but I have to admit it‘s going slooow 🙈
Thanks for the tag @BeeCurious 😊
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

SpellboundReader Great answers! It is really difficult to decide on just one favorite character.
Even if you finish Little Women before June/July, I hope you'll consider following along with the chapter-a-day buddy read via #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade.
Little Women will be a reread for me but I always learn something new from other reader's perspectives and comments. 🙂 2mo

SpellboundReader If you are looking for people to follow on Litsy, you could try looking up the books you like (such as Little Women or Persuasion) and then follow the readers who posted reviews for that book. Someone made that suggestion to me when I joined. 🙂📚 2mo

Eggs Thanks for playing🩵🩵 2mo

Eggs @BeeCurious Great suggestion❣️ 2mo

funkelbunt.liest @BeeCurious thanks for the suggestion! I tried to do that with a few lesser known books I read recently but most of them aren‘t even listed here 🙈 2mo

funkelbunt.liest @BeeCurious can you explain the # to me? I still don‘t really get how it works here 😬 2mo

funkelbunt.liest @BeeCurious and one other thing - do you know why this post was once posted with and another time without a picture? 🤔 2mo

SpellboundReader @funkelbunt.liest - As this recommendation was kindly made to me upon joining Litsy, I'd also suggest referring to a few helpful Litsy 'how-to' websites and videos that were created by the awesome @Chelleo and, @Chrissiereadit among others. 🙂 They really help new members figure out how Litsy works, which is a bit overwhelming at first. (There are more buddy reads now than listed but you'll get the idea.) Links to 'how-to' in a message below.

SpellboundReader The # hashtags are often used to tag or indicate buddy reads or groups on Litsy, that way you can follow a buddy read you are interested by looking up the hashtags. For example if you are interested in seeing everyone's posts related to #hashtagbrigade , then just look it up using the search function. Hashtags are also used to describe book genres, readathons & holiday team competitions like #scarathlon in October. You can make up hashtags too! 😁 2mo

SpellboundReader Litsy Welcome Wagon tips:

For additional groups, buddy reads, readathons, etc that aren't listed, I'd suggest looking through the old LitsyEvents posts and following them, which I think you already did. 👏

SpellboundReader As for why you post was listed 2x, once without the photo, I'm not sure. I've had a glitch with it taking an exorbitant amount of time to post, & I think it didn't work. Then I try again, and it ends up posting 2x times. For a double post, you could always go back and delete one of the posts. I'm not sure if you are using the app or the web version. For the web version, just tap the 3 dots ... in the lower right corner. Tap delete. Then tap 'ok'. 2mo

SpellboundReader I didn't mean to write a book here, but I hope this info helps. 😁

Everyone is nice here so if you have a question about someone's specific buddy read or readathon or hashtag, etc, then feel free to ask in the comments below their posts, too.

Thank you to @BethM and @tpixie for originally making some of the suggestions listed in comments above, to me. (edited) 2mo

funkelbunt.liest @BeeCurious thank you so much for all these information! I‘m really slow at typing so I especially appreciate your time! 2mo

SpellboundReader @funkelbunt.liest - I'm happy to help. 🙂🙂🙂 2mo

Surprises | Liza Charlesworth

I was a little down & out this past week (recovering still but much better today) so I was slow to open & post about this wonderful box when it arrived last week from @TheSpineView for winning her #Spookoween Bingo drawing for #Scarathlon

Lisa, Thank you so much!!! 🤗 I was expecting just the book (which came just at the right time as I wasn‘t finished with my library copy & had to return it Saturday). I am blown away by the additional B&N ⬇️

DebinHawaii …gift card, cute tote bag, yummy candle, mushroom note pad, adorable bookmarks & tabs & of course chocolate.🍫🍫You WAY over did it & it was a treat to open on Saturday when I was starting to feel somewhat human again. I truly appreciate it & you! 💙💙💙 3mo

I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are new and some are old, some were gifts, and some I don't remember why I bought them.

Anyone else suffering from #WinterGames hangover?

AnnR Yep, a little. I'm partially sad and partially relieved not to keep score now. 4mo

dabbe I'm still hung over from #Scarathlon. 🤩😂😍 4mo

TieDyeDude Winter Games looked like fun, but no way I was doing that so soon after scarathlon 4mo

AmandaBlaze @AnnR I had to stop myself from using my tally clicker. No more Word Search. Now to concentrate on #WickedWords. 4mo

AmandaBlaze @dabbe @TieDyeDude I definitely started to lose steam at the end. Maybe next year will be a solo Scarathlon. 4mo

Hey #TeamReindeerGamers these are my points for the last two weeks.. 27,111 It's was great to have seen your posts and I can't believe how fast the #WinterGames went. Please tag me with your points.

TorieStorieS I think I only ended up with 417 points by my count! 4mo

LiseWorks @TorieStorieS thank you for playing 4mo

aperfectmjk Well 2023 went out with a bang for me, I ended up with Covid, so I'm so behind. I didn't get to complete as much reading as I wanted, but I did manage to snag some points with the Scramble game. I'm going to try to update what I can, I may have to just sacrifice some points, such as some of the bingos and readathons because it's too much to go back and calculate now. 4mo

LiseWorks Oh dear, hope you feel better, do what you can 4mo

aperfectmjk @LiseWorks I almost forgot to send you my numbers. I didn't get everything calculated, but I'm turning in 82,632. 4mo

aperfectmjk @LiseWorks that's for the second half, grand total is 115,496. 4mo

LiseWorks Thanks, @aperfectmjk that is great amount of points for someone who was sick. The totals have been calculated though, I think it's too late to add them. 4mo

aperfectmjk @Liseworks... awww... I'm so sorry. 2023 was a crap year for me. I'm glad it's over. 4mo

LiseWorks @aperfectmjk I want you in my team for #scarathlon next year. Ask for it lol 4mo

I think most of them were read during #scarathlon and #wintergames

I react very positively to points gathering 😅

19 of them were from #roll100 and I'm hoping to actually get some more physical books read this year

#Rushathon #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew #readathon #SeriesLove202

My 2nd-to-last book of the year is another #ARC that will publish in Feb. Book 3 in the Supernatural Singles series I read in October for #Scarathlon. This one focuses on the 3rd Maxwell witch sister Olive & guardian angel Bax. Like the other books, it‘s a cute paranormal rom-comish story, nothing earth-shattering but light & easy, so a soft pick. Start with the 1st book, tagged ⬇️

Talk about Litsy

Happy anniversary to me! Today is my 5 year anniversary of being on Litsy. I love it here. I‘ve been on here for 5 years and I never participated in any Litsy Events until this year. My first Litsy event I participated in was #scarathlon and my second one that I‘m participating in this month is the #wintergames.

🎉🥳🎊🍾🍻👏🥂👯‍♀️

kelli7990 Next year, I‘m hoping to participate in #SeriesLove2024 hosted by @Andrew65 and also participate in a readalong for Sherlock Holmes hosted by @Cuilin & @dabbe. I have a lot of Netgalley ARCs to read in 2024 but I‘m hoping that I can find time to participate in these events. 4mo

Andrew65 @kelli7990 Happy fifth anniversary 🍾🥂. We‘d love to have you join us in #SeriesLove2024. I love the Sherlock Holmes books. 4mo
