Welcome to Litsy!

Last year, for my birthday, I got my 4th round of chemo 😔. Needless to say, my birthday was a bust. This year, to make up for it, my husband took me on a bookstore tour in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area. We hit 5 bookstores, including this gem: Story Line Books, housed in St. Paul's Union Depot. With a subtle train theme, the charm of the historic train station, and a wonderfully curated selection, this was a great stop! #supportindiebookstores

Update on reading own books:

Took two books to the charity shop. Success!
Bought two books.
Net result 0. 🙃

A feel good book but predictable. A good story to relax to.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)

“The Book Swap” isn‘t a bad book. I enjoyed the premise of the book, and both protagonists are flawed in their own ways. The book is heavy on the miscommunication trope, and as someone who isn‘t a fan of that trope, it lessened my enjoyment of the story as there is a lot of it throughout.

My January book box has arrived + 2 scored from a BOTM sales/swap Facebook group!

The tagged book was my first read of the year, not the best book on books & reading I‘ve ever read , I did enjoy it . Her specialty is the history OF the book so she went deep on some elements of that I didn‘t get into. Short book & she did have lots of info in the appendix if you wanted to dig deeper, always appreciate that . #SundayFunday

Immensely detailed and comprehensive. If you‘re interested in the topic then you will enjoy this book. It can be quite dry and suffers from a disinterest in pacing. It‘s clear that the authors did an enormous amount of research and want to share it all

I guess that 19% are all here on Litsy 🥳🥳🥳

Inspiring and reflecting stories about the importance of our libraries, bookstores and reading.
