Litsy

We do have our six winners for #CampLitsy25! We‘ll discuss half a book each weekend in June, July and August. Details will follow. For now Meg, Helen and I hope you are as happy with the winning books and look as much forward to go camping as we do!

CatLass007 Thank you! A couple of these already are on my wish list so I‘ll just bump them up a bit. 2d

Kitta Ooh I‘m so excited! Not the ones I voted for but it‘ll be great to read some new authors. I love #CampLitsy! 2d

TheKidUpstairs Love the variety! Looking forward to another year of camp! 2d

squirrelbrain Hooray! 6 wonderful books to discuss! 2d

Ruthiella Great mix of books. Camp‘s gonna be fun! 🤩 2d

Deblovestoread Fantastic bunch of books! Yay for camp 🏕️ 2d

BarbaraBB @Kitta @TheKidUpstairs @CatLass007 I am glad you‘re happy within the results. It will be a great reading summer! 2d

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain Yes! Really happy with the results! Now I have to get those books and start reading! 2d

DGRachel What a mix! Two I‘m really looking forward to reading, three that are intriguing 🤔, and one that I want to run screaming from. 🤣🤣 (edited) 2d

Graciouswarriorprincess @BarbaraBB Please tag me! 2d

peaKnit Ooh Tilt was on my TBR! 2d

BarbaraBB @Graciouswarriorprincess I did didn‘t I? If not something went wrong because you are definitely on the taglist 2d

BarbaraBB @DGRachel Now I am really curious which one that is! 2d

DGRachel @BarbaraBB LOL. I was thinking of Audition. Most of these are (as usual) out of my comfort zone. Tilt sounds like it will break me, but Audition looks like the one I am least likely to enjoy and will be the hardest to pick up. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2d

BarbaraBB @DGRachel at least it‘s short! But you can of course skip it and arrive at camp when we start Wild Dark Shores which I already read and is so, so good! 2d

KarenUK Great list! Looking forward to it ❤️ 2d

Megabooks I think the campers have chosen great books this year and several genres, too, which is fantastic! Scifi, dystopian, thriller, lit fic! It‘s going to be a great summer!! (edited) 2d

BkClubCare The WHOLE slate! 🎉 2d

BkClubCare @DGRachel - and that is the fun? I personally am NOT looking forward to the SAC. It is so NOT my genre. 2d

DGRachel @BkClubCare It is the reason I come to Camp! It‘s a celebration of readers and our differences. Whether I enjoy the book or not, I enjoy the conversation about it. The SAC is the one I‘m looking forward to the most. 😂 2d

BkClubCare @DGRachel - I DNF‘d the one of his I tried 😔 It was just TOO MUCH. Is this one part of a series? (Hoping NO) 2d

CSeydel Thank you so much for hosting! 2d

BarbaraBB @Megabooks Yes I love that it is sort of eclectic 😀 (edited) 2d

BarbaraBB @DGRachel @BkClubCare I too love that we have different tastes and some of these books might not be my first choices but I know the discussion will add so much to them! And SAC is not part of a series as far as I know! 2d

BarbaraBB @peaKnit @KarenUK @CSeydel We‘ll have some good times ahead of us I think, with reading these books and discussing them! 2d

BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - Thank you. You are a Litsy inspiration to me. Happy (American?!) Mother Day 2d

CSeydel @BkClubCare Yeah that‘s the way it goes with Camp Litsy, LOL! I wish we had a “semifinals” voting round so we could narrow down our choices, but in the end it‘s just for fun 🤷🏻‍♀️I might read Death of the Author and Tilt but the others, no thanks. (I do enjoy SA Cosby, his books are great thrillers but not really discussion material.) (edited) 2d

Chelsea.Poole Looking forward to discussing these with you all. Such a nice variety! 🏕️ Thanks to the hosts for the thoughtful questions and keeping the campers in line! 2d

BarbaraBB @BkClubCare Same ❤️❤️ 1d

CarolynM Some interesting titles there. I probably won‘t read all of them, but will look forward to seeing all the discussions 🙂 1d

BarbaraBB @CarolynM We‘re happy to have you at camp whenever you like! 1d

Meshell1313 Sounds like a perfect camp! 1d

Well-ReadNeck I‘m in! Please keep me on the tag list. Excited to discuss All. The. Books!! 12h

BarbaraBB @Meshell1313 We‘re happy to have you! 11h

BarbaraBB @Well-ReadNeck We will, no camp without you! 11h

Just a few weeks to get ready for 🏕️ !

BarbaraBB @Bookwormjillk I am happy you are. I was very happy with the voting too! 2d

TrishB Yay! Great choices again! Looking forward to it. 2d

mcctrish Can‘t wait to go camping ⛺️ 2d

CatLass007 I missed the announcements for June and July. 2d

Prairiegirl_reading I don‘t think I‘ll read the Cosby (I can‘t do violence like that) but I‘m excited for all the rest! Looking forward to camp!!🏕️ 2d

CatLass007 SA Cosby became a must-read last year so I definitely will read that one. I need to read up on the others. 2d

CBee I voted for both of these 👏🏻👏🏻 Very excited for camp!! Hoping to get to all six but I know for sure I‘ll read these plus Woodworking and WDS 👏🏻👏🏻 2d

Suet624 Thank you so much! I‘m thrilled. 2d

AmyG Oh NICE!!!!! Thank you! 2d

squirrelbrain Hooray - another 2 books I‘m really looking forward to discussing with everyone! 🏕️ 2d

BarbaraJean Like @Prairiegirl_reading I think I‘ll skip the Cosby because of the violence (the one book I skipped last year was All Fours and I don‘t regret that, so I‘m trusting my instincts here 😂) but I‘m super excited about reading the others with everyone!! 2d

Ruthiella Fantastic! Again , these are two books I normally would not have picked up, which is what I love about these kinds of challenges. 👍 2d

Deblovestoread So happy to see 2 of my nominees make the cut. 😍 2d

BarbaraBB @BarbaraJean @Prairiegirl_reading I haven‘t read the Cosby yet but it might be violent indeed. Happy you‘ll be joining for the others. And I know some people who would have loved to skip All Fours last year 🤣 2d

BarbaraBB @TrishB @mcctrish @CBee @Suet624 @AmyG @Ruthiella @Deblovestoread Glad you‘re happy with the outcomes. Most people voted for at least one of the six books fortunately! 2d

ChaoticMissAdventures YAY!! I LOVE Cosby, and Tilt is set in my home town. These should be fun reads. Cannot wait to join everyone for the discussions. 2d

Soubhiville Thanks to all our hosts! Fun lineup of books this summer! 2d

Hooked_on_books I was already looking forward to the Cosby and it‘ll be fun to discuss it. Tilt is very good and should prompt excellent discussions! 2d

Megabooks @Hooked_on_books I agree! Tilt will have such good discussions I think!! 2d

Megabooks Cosby won last year‘s Litsy ToB, but we didn‘t get a full discussion on it. I‘ll be interested to read what everyone thinks of his latest! 2d

BarbaraBB @ChaoticMissAdventures @Soubhiville @Hooked_on_books @Megabooks I have high hopes for some good reads and great discussions 👌🏽 (edited) 2d

Christine Yayyyyy, so into these! One I was 100% going to read (Cosby) and the other I was on the fence about but therefore (as others have noted) should be great for discussion!! 2d

BarbaraBB @Christine Happy you‘ll join us for both reads. Tilt is supposed to be very good. And it‘s short! 1d

Meshell1313 Ooh yay! Can‘t wait! 1d

Well-ReadNeck 🙌🏼👏🏻👊🏼 14h

Let's Go Camping! | Jan Mader

Once again I will be your camp counselor for July, and I am so excited to discuss these books!

I have already read Death of the Author, and I have been dying to discuss it because it is so unique. Woodworking is new to me, and I‘m so excited for us to explore it together.

I‘ll be posting page breaks later, but I hope you can join me July 5/6 and 12/13 for Author and July 19/20 and 26/27 for Woodworking! 🏕️😁 #CampLitsy25

Hooked_on_books I‘m excited for Woodworking, but Death of the Author was a bail for me, so I won‘t be trying that again! 3d

TheBookHippie I‘m in for Woodworking. Trying to see if library will have it. 3d

squirrelbrain Two more fabulous books for camp! ❤️ 3d

JamieArc Interesting choices! If Death of the Author is tough to get through at least we can all struggle together 😂. I‘m still looking forward to trying it. (edited) 3d

RaeLovesToRead Excited! This will be my second Okorafor! 3d

JenP I read and liked Death of the author. I look forward to both discussions. 3d

Megabooks @Addison_Reads me too! I think it‘s going to be a great one to discuss! 1d

Let's Go Camping! | Jan Mader

Summer is here, campers! 🏕️ Thanks to all 71 of you who voted - we have our top 6 books for #camplitsy25!

In June, we‘ll start with Audition, followed by Wild Dark Shore.

I‘ll be back in a week or so with the page breaks for Audition, which we‘ll discuss over the weekends of 7th/8th and 14th/15th June.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for bears, but also for Meg and Barbara who pop up over the weekend with the remaining 4 books!

Megabooks, BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB Yay, that‘s quite the kick-off! I think the Littens chose very wisely 😀 I am looking forward to a new Kitamura and as I‘ve been shouting out everywhere I LOVED Wild Dark Shore so can‘t wait to discuss it around the campfire 🔥 4d

Bookwormjillk Yay!!! Camp!!! 🏕️🐻❤️ 4d

Lesliereadsalot Very excited! ⛺️🪵🩷 4d

sarahbarnes Yay, so excited for these picks to kick us off! I‘m reading Audition right now and have WDS waiting! 4d

Bookwormjillk PS anyone listened to these on audio? 4d

CBee So glad that I waited to read Wild Dark Shore! Very excited! 4d

TheKidUpstairs Yay! I'm excited to discuss Audition, from reviews it looks like a great one to talk through with you all! And I'm also excited to give McConaghy another chance! 4d

Read4life Looks like a good start to camp!! 🏕️ 4d

Ruthiella Nice! I ha Audition out now from the library-great timing. 👍 4d

JenP 🥳 very excited! 4d

Susanita I‘ve put holds on them! 4d

Megabooks Yay!!! So glad camp starts soon!! 🏕️ 4d

Caroline2 Ohhhh exciting!! 👏 4d

mcctrish Omg I saw this post and squealed 🎉🎉camping time is here 4d

AmyG OH BOY!!!! Thank you. 4d

Deblovestoread Fantastic! Excited for both books and camp! 4d

TrishB Ready on the pile! Can‘t wait 😁. Great choices. 4d

ChaoticMissAdventures OMG OMG I am so excited!!!!! 4d

BarbaraJean 🎉🎉Now to hope and pray the library holds come in on time!! 4d

JenReadsAlot Yay!!! 4d

GatheringBooks Woohoo! Bought my copies! 🤞🏽📚📚📚 4d

Hooked_on_books I predicted these two would get picked. I loved WDS and look forward to discussing it but won‘t be reading Audition. I read her last 2 and she doesn‘t work for me. 4d

JamieArc Woohoo! Excited to see which books we are reading this summer! 4d

ImperfectCJ I love both authors and am very excited for these! I'll be traveling in June and library holds are iffy, so I just bought the ebooks for on my Kobo (and I almost never buy ebooks, so that shows how excited I am!) 4d

cariashley Rats, I didn‘t manage to get to vote, but I know I‘m in good hands here! Already excited about the first two picks! 4d

Jess Nice! I already read WDS but look forward to chatting with everyone about it. I just found Audition in Spotify so will probably use my June hours to listen to that one. Can‘t wait to see what else was chosen! 4d

MeganAnn Yay! 🎉 Looking forward to both and WDS especially since everyone seems to be raving about it. 🤞🏻My library holds will come through in time. Looks like WDS has been so popular they have added extra copies so that might help. 4d

squirrelbrain @Bookwormjillk @Lesliereadsalot @Read4life @JenP @Caroline2 @Deblovestoread @TrishB @ChaoticMissAdventures @JenReadsAlot @GatheringBooks @JamieArc - glad you‘re all so excited. The other 4 books are just as fabulous! 4d

squirrelbrain That‘s excellent timing! @sarahbarnes 4d

squirrelbrain @CBee - I‘ve been hanging back on reading a lot of books from the longlist, just in case! 🤪 4d

squirrelbrain @TheKidUpstairs - I get the feeling Audition might be a Marmite book, but certainly lots to discuss, if Chelsea.poole ‘s review is anything to go by! 😊 4d

squirrelbrain @mcctrish @AmyG - both your posts made me 🤭 and cheered up a grumpy work afternoon! ❤️ 4d

squirrelbrain I hope they do come in on time 🤞 @BarbaraJean 4d

squirrelbrain Yay! @GatheringBooks - and maybe some more to buy soon too…. 4d

squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books - no worries, not every book will work for everyone. 🫤 4d

squirrelbrain We are truly honoured @ImperfectCJ 🤪 that camp is so exciting you bought e-books! 4d

mcctrish I have ordered both books. I am not playing this year. I wasted time I will never get back waiting for library holds to never come in 🤣🤣 4d

squirrelbrain @cariashley - I‘m sure you‘ve got more important things to be thinking about than voting for camp! 😊 I hope you get to join in at some point over the summer! 4d

squirrelbrain @jess - Audition is quite short so will hopefully fit within your hours! 🤞 4d

squirrelbrain Yes @meganann - I‘m looking forward to WDS so much as well. @BarbaraBB loved it and we have very similar taste in books. 4d

KarenUK I just bought Audition and I LOVED the other! Great choices so far! 4d

ErikasMindfulShelf Two great books! 4d

squirrelbrain @KarenUK @ErikasMindfulShelf - the other 4 are just as good! 😊 4d

kspenmoll Can‘t wait for both books. I own WDS but not the other.. 4d

BarbaraBB @mcctrish a wise decision 😃😃 4d

CBee @squirrelbrain must know what a Marmite book means now - I feel like I should know this already 🤔 4d

Chelsea.Poole So exciting! I‘ve been waiting to read Wild Dark Shore because I adore her other two, and I‘d like to really savor this one. Looks like I‘ll get to really dive in deep with it. And I can see Audition leading to some really interesting discussions. Let‘s goooo 🏕️ 4d

squirrelbrain @ruthiella - perfect timing! ❤️ 3d

squirrelbrain @Chelsea.Poole your review of Audition really intrigued me! 3d

squirrelbrain @cbee - sorry! 🤪 Marmite is a yeast extract that we either spread on toast or make into a drink. In the UK, people either love it or hate it, hence things are ‘Marmite‘ if they are polarising. 3d

peaKnit Held audition! I have read the other, it will be an excellent conversation! 3d

CBee @squirrelbrain I knew what Marmite was and had a feeling that‘s what it meant 😂😂 Perfect description!! 3d

Christine Thrilled about these! Recently read Audition and liked it a lot but have been eager to hear others‘ takes/interpretations. And I‘ve been sad about not yet getting to WDS but now I‘m glad! 3d

kspenmoll Thanks for hosting this again! 3d

Meshell1313 Perfect! Can‘t wait! 3d

monalyisha If I can find the time, I‘ll dive into Wild Dark Shore with you all! 3d

TheBookHippie I‘m in for Audition! 3d

squirrelbrain @peaknit I‘m really looking forward to WDS - I loved the author‘s other books. 3d

squirrelbrain @christine - yes, it sounds like there‘s a lot to talk about with Audition. 🤔 3d

squirrelbrain You‘re welcome @kspenmoll - we can‘t wait! 3d

squirrelbrain We can‘t wait either! @meshell1313 3d

squirrelbrain Hooray @monalyisha - hopefully you can squeeze it in! 3d

squirrelbrain Yay! 🎉@TheBookHippie - looking forward to it! 3d

squirrelbrain You‘re welcome ☺️ @cbee 3d

peaKnit @squirrelbrain I need to get her other books, I don‘t think I‘ve read anything of her before. What a treat to know there is more! 3d

CBee @peaKnit I recommend starting with

Migrations: A Novel

Zuhkeeyah I just borrowed Audition through Libby and placed a hold on WDS. Excited for the discussion 3d

peaKnit @CBee would you believe I own that, haven‘t read it and didn‘t connect it to this author? I‘m ready to go☺️ 3d

CBee @peaKnit happens to me all the time 😂 I hope you enjoy it when you get to it! 3d

Addison_Reads Great choices! 3d

Well-ReadNeck 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3d

squirrelbrain Yes @peaKnit I preferred Migrations to Wolves, but loved both! @CBee 2d

squirrelbrain @Zuhkeeyah - glad you could get Audition, and hopefully WDS will come through in time. 🤞 2d

squirrelbrain @Addison_Reads @Well-ReadNeck - Littens always choose great books for camp! (Well, most of the time!) 🤣 2d

julieclair Excited! Let‘s go camping! 2d

youneverarrived Definitely want to read Audition so will try and join in with that! 2h

squirrelbrain Great! @youneverarrived - looking forward to it! 10m

mcctrish I just want to know so badly 🤣🤣 2w

Kitta Ooo! I‘m so excited to find out. 2w

JenReadsAlot @mcctrish Me too! 😂 2w

TrishB Can‘t wait 😁 2w

Laughterhp Thanks for the reminder! Just voted. 2w

Meshell1313 Oooh a close one. Can‘t wait to see the winners! 2w

Bookwormjillk I want to know! 😂😂😂 2w

BkClubCare So exciting 🤩 2w

Leniverse What do you do if there's a multi-way draw? 😱 Draw lots, or release them back to us for a second round of votes? 2w

sarahbarnes An impossible task! Just voted. So many on here I want to read regardless - an embarrassment of riches. 😍 2w

RaeLovesToRead *dons fake mustache to vote again* hahahaha 2w

Lesliereadsalot Super excited about this! 2w

squirrelbrain @mcctrish @Kitta @JenReadsAlot @TrishB @Bookwormjillk @BkClubCare @Lesliereadsalot - we‘re lucky as we get to see the votes as they come in, which is just as exciting. Not long now until we find out who‘s coming to camp this year! 😜 2w

squirrelbrain @meshell1313 - yes, much closer than last year when James was way ahead of anything else. 2w

Kitta @RaeLovesToRead 😂 2w

squirrelbrain Thanks for voting @laughterhp @sarahbarnes - yes, I‘ve been ordering a fair few books over the last couple of weeks, whether they‘re going to make the final 6 or not! 2w

squirrelbrain @raelovestoread - nah, not happening, we can spot you a mile off! 🤣 Dressed in that bear costume from last year. 2w

Ruthiella This is as much fun as actually reading the books! I love the process and the possibilities. 😃 2w

Prairiegirl_reading @squirrelbrain @RaeLovesToRead 🤣🤣🐻🐻 2w

Prairiegirl_reading I‘ve been putting off book shopping until we find out the winners. It‘s been difficult!! I‘m not really surprised it‘s close. The long list had so many interesting titles. 2w

CSeydel Maybe we could have a second round of voting? I‘m betting a lot of books got only one vote 😅 2w

BkClubCare @CSeydel - I would vote for a round 2 vote if we need to narrow down - but I also don‘t want to make more work for our camp leaders. ❤️ 2w

JenReadsAlot Can we add another book and camp in September too?! 2w

squirrelbrain @Leniverse @CSeydel @BkClubCare - it‘s never been a problem before, somehow! There have been plenty of draws, of course, certainly lower down but even within the top 6. Just not where it mattered - places 5 / 6 / 7. We‘ll cross that bridge if / when we come to it this year. 2w

squirrelbrain We should camp all year round! @JenReadsAlot - the sun is always shining *somewhere* in the world! 😜 2w

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - “We should camp all year round!” 🤣🏕️☀️ 2w

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @JenReadsAlot We should camp year round indeed!! ❤️ 2w

Hooked_on_books You‘re so cruel! Dangling tidbits but not telling us the identity of the books. Awful! 😉 2w

Sapphire Thank you! 2w

Sapphire @Hooked_on_books IKR 2w

squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books @Sapphire - I‘m the mean girl in camp who no-one likes! 😈 2w

Sapphire @squirrelbrain lol! 2w

Hooked_on_books 😂 2w

CBee @RaeLovesToRead 😂😂😂 2w

Chelsea.Poole I have a few guesses for the top picks I‘m TILTing towards… 1w

Kitta @squirrelbrain how do you determine the order of the books once you have the top 6? I always feel there‘s a flow or connections between them and am impressed. Is this intentional? (edited) 1w

squirrelbrain @Chelsea.Poole LOL! 🤐 1w

squirrelbrain @Kitta - that‘s very kind of you to say! We do try to link the books together somehow. It depends on who is hosting which month, and we try to host at least one book each that we haven‘t read before so it can take a bit of working out! @Megabooks @BarbaraBB 1w

Daisey Thanks for the reminder! Last year was the first time I participated, and I wasn‘t sure I would vote this year. There were enough books I had seen mentioned that I voted for those without more research. So curious to see the choices! 1w

squirrelbrain @Daisey - thanks for voting! Not long until we find out! 1w

Prairiegirl_reading So voting ends tomorrow and then how long until we find out? Is everything still super close? 5d

squirrelbrain @Prairiegirl_reading - we closed the voting overnight and, keep a look out, we *might* be starting to reveal the results today! 4d

Prairiegirl_reading @squirrelbrain YAY!!! Thank you!! 😊 4d

I am finally submitting my nominations for #CampLitsy25. I tried to pick books that haven‘t been nominated yet. I particularly think Careless People would provide a lot of conversational fodder.

Megabooks, squirrelbrain, BarbaraBB

Chelsea.Poole I‘m really interested in Careless People! 4w

squirrelbrain Yay -I‘ve been waiting for your nominations - well done on finding ones not yet nominated! You‘re right about Careless People - it would make for great discussions! 4w
