True Biz: From the author of the Women�s Prize longlisted GIRL AT WAR | Sara Novic

Ive started the audio for #CampLitsy and while I‘m liking it, I‘m not sure audio is the best way to go. My daughter is arriving on Tuesday and she‘s bringing me a physical book. I might choose to hold off listening and try print. Which means I now need to decide on a new audio😄

MicheleinPhilly This has ASL illustrations that I thought really added to the story. 3y

TrishB I think this will be my next one. Think. 3y

Megabooks I did not listen, and there are asides about sign language with visuals that I‘m glad I had the print version for. 3y

Cinfhen I mean the irony isn‘t lost on me that I‘m listening to an audiobook about deaf culture 🤦🏼‍♀️ @TrishB @MicheleinPhilly @Megabooks I think im gonna wait for N and go with print!! 3y

Cinfhen I hear ya @TrishB #BestLaidPlans 😁 3y

MicheleinPhilly This was my local bookstore‘s last book club pick. Unbeknownst to me, not only does the author live in Philly, she lives in my neighborhood. 3y

Cinfhen Oh wow!! I love that local connection @MicheleinPhilly ❤️❤️ 3y

DivineDiana So nice that your daughter is coming to visit! @MicheleinPhilly That is amazing! What a City! ❤️ 3y

squirrelbrain Yes, I‘m reading it in print and can‘t see it working well on audio at all. 3y

Cinfhen All my kiddos are coming @DivineDiana for a month!!!! I can‘t wait but I‘m a little anxious…it‘s going to be a VERY FULL HOUSE and that means LOTS of cooking, cleaning and little time for reading 3y

DivineDiana You WILL have a VERY FULL HOUSE! And yes, there will be LOTS of additional chores, but there also will be LOTS of LOVE! The reading can wait. ❤️🥰❤️ 3y

Suet624 Wow! All the kids! So fun and potentially exhausting. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣🤣 (edited) 3y

January: Calendar Girl Book 1 | Audrey Carlan

#yearofthechunkster #ListyAToZ #MountTBRChallenge #LitsyPassport #SeriesUpToDate #SeriesFinished #NewSereis
A great first month, but behind schedule for #LitsyPassport (aiming to read 1 book a month), and started more series than I finished or got up to date on! 😳😂 Whoops!
Will have to target these in February.

AmandaL WOW! Great month! 7y

Andrew65 @AmandaL It was, targeting bigger books is definitely working for me! Thanks 👍 (edited) 7y

Mdargusch Nice! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 7y

Andrew65 @Mdargusch Thanks 😊 7y

merelybookish Impressive!! 7y

Andrew65 @merelybookish Thanks 👍 7y

robinb OK, now you‘re just showing off! 😳😱😮🤭😂😂😂 (and justifiably so!) Congratulations, amazing numbers!! 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉👍 7y

Andrew65 @robinb 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙈 Thanks Robin 🙌🙌🙌 7y

robinb @Andrew65 I wish I read faster (like a lot of folks on here). But I think it also depends on how much I‘m invested in a book too. Currently, not so invested....at all....sigh. 7y

Andrew65 @robinb This is where the big books have got me invested, been difficult to put them down. 7y

robinb @Andrew65 totally understand! 👍 7y

batsy Very nice! I'm a bit behind on challenges, too :) #bestlaidplans 7y

This Bronte juvenilia-inspired children‘s book fell into my Book Outlet cart while I was shopping for my #CupidGoesPostal match. 😉

Melissa_J Nice mug 😊 7y

ElishaLovesBooks “Fell into the cart” 😂😂😂 That happens to me all the time!🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 7y

batsy I'm looking forward to reading this 👍 7y

saresmoore @batsy I‘m looking forward to this, too! I can feel a serious Brontë kick coming on... 7y

batsy @saresmoore When the Claire Harman bio of Charlotte came out I said to myself that I will have a Brontë year in 2016, but that didn't happen, so I said 2017, but that didn't happen, and now in 2018 I seemed to have signed up for a million other challenges 😂 #bestlaidplans 7y

LeahBergen @batsy @saresmoore Count me in - I‘ve recently bought that Harman bio. 😂😂 When do we start our Brontepalooza? 7y

LibrarianRyan Now I don't feel so bad. It's sitting in my cart too. 7y

batsy I'm up to having a #brontepalooza anytime 😂 Do we want to start on a lighter note with the tagged book? If @saresmoore has access to a copy too, then perhaps we can do a low-key buddy read in February? As Sara and I are reading Agnes Grey for litsyclassics in Feb, too 😊 7y

LeslieO Oh, I hate when that happens! 7y

TrishB Litsy certified disease - books jumping into baskets. 7y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen @batsy @saresmoore I'm in for a #brontepalooza any time too (and I have the tagged book). 😊 7y

saresmoore @LeahBergen @batsy @rubyslippersreads I have a copy of the tagged book and can start any time! I also hope to at least dabble in

Brontes: Wild Genius on the Moors: The Story of a Literary Family

batsy @saresmoore @rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen Oh, yay! When do you guys want to start 🤗 I've got my eye on the Juliet Barker book, too! Actually, I can't remember if I actually bought it; I should check 😳 7y

rubyslippersreads @saresmoore @batsy @LeahBergen I have the Barker book too. February sounds good for Glass Town. 😊 7y

LeahBergen @Melissa_J I knew you‘d approve. 😉 7y

LeahBergen @ElishaLovesBooks @UwannaPublishme @LibrarianRyan @LeslieO @TrishB I‘m glad you‘ve all had the same problem. 😉 7y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads @saresmoore @batsy Anytime in February works for me. I‘ll jump in as soon as I see one of you start it. 👍🏻 7y

batsy 👍☺️ @rubyslippersreads @saresmoore 7y

Beach Trip: A Novel | Cathy Holton

Sooooo. The bucket wouldn't fit into any of the mailing boxes I had lying around the house. So, instead of puttering around and trying to find a different box, I decided to not put the bucket in and mail everything out today. So I hope my recipient isn't too sad about her bucket.😥 #beachinbookswap #bestlaidplans

The Swans of Fifth Avenue | Melanie Benjamin

I like this #tbt thread...most of those reads were via NetGalley, if I remember correctly & I remember being excited to get my hands on Melanie Benjamin 's Swans. It was a fun, rompy read. I also enjoyed I am Pilgrim. Title appropriate for this time of year 😉

Reviewsbylola I still need to read the Melanie Benjamin. 8y

MicheleinPhilly I bought I Am Pilgrim to read on vacation whenever it came out. Still haven't read it. #BestLaidPlans 8y

Cinfhen @MicheleinPhilly maybe it's time to give it a go! 8y

Suzze @MicheleinPhilly I went to post and realized you had said exactly what I was going to say, just delete "on vacation". I just bought it because I wanted it REALLY BAD and planned to read it RIGHT AWAY! ???? 8y

MicheleinPhilly @Suzze My shelves are full of similar such purchases. @Cinfhen Maybe I will! Of course I've also said that about 100 other books that Litsy reminds me I own but haven't read. ☺️ 8y
