Welcome to Litsy!

This year I...
- read 50+ books (63 so far!)
- attended a book festival (#BooksbytheBanks)
- bought from an indie bookstore
- hit up a book sale (several, including #friendswarehouse )
- met an author ( #KateMorton and several others)
- gave up on a book ( #TheFavoriteSister)
- read a classic ( #JaneEyre , still reading)
- met a litten in person (I met several incl. @Chelleo )
- read outside my comfort zone ( #Circe)
... etc. (see above) #in2018

Currently reading: #TheFavoriteSister 💁🏻‍♀️ I‘m not sure what I think so far. I‘ve never been a fan of shows like Real House Wives of (insert city). This book does contain some intellectual observations about feminism, intersectionality, and tokenism, etc., but ALL of these characters are so hypocritical, catty and annoying! Not sure I‘ll make it through this one. Goodnight Littens! 😴😴 #arc #24in48 #24in48readathon

Decided to switch up my #24in48 TBR and read some of this #arc. I have been meaning to get around to reading #TheFavoriteSister for awhile— so I figured I might as well use this opportunity to make a dent in it.

Total reading time for 24in48: 14 h, 16 m of 25 h (almost)

I have too many books that I want to read, and frankly, I don‘t feel like spending any more time with this catty group of women who are supposedly all about ~empowering each other~. How? By being massively horrible to each other? Maybe I‘ll come back to it at some point if feedback says I should, but for now? It‘s a DNF. #thefavoritesister #jessicaknoll

Y‘all, I‘m not sure I care at all about any of these women. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #thefavoritesister #jessicaknoll #todnfornottodnf

Even though “The Fiery Cross” is due before this, I have the feeling I can start and finish this today and still have time to make more progress with Jamie and Claire. #somanybookssolittletime #thefavoritesister #jessicaknoll

🎧 Listening to author #JessicaKnoll on #FullyBooked by #KirkusReviews 🎧 Every time I listen to her in an interview I like her as a person even more! I haven‘t read her new book #TheFavoriteSister yet, but I keep hearing it covers themes of #feminism. I am excited to read it.

📚 Have any of you listened to this #podcast or read Knoll‘s new book? 📖

Happy pub day to #TheFavoriteSister by #JessicaKnoll!Slowly, but surely, I am making some progress on #ARCs. All of these are on my immediate radar.

I am starting the tagged book tonight. Have you read it yet?
#GirlsNightOut is “a chilling page-turner full of secrets and hostility that will leave readers shocked again and again…and again. (Mary Kubica) It will make you think twice about what your friend may be hiding.” #TBR #netgalley #arc
