Welcome to Litsy!

I finally finished this one but I‘ll definitely be coming back to it again and again. It‘s probably my favorite design book so far as it connects two of my passions: (obviously) design and stories. There were so many books and articles referenced that my TBR list just got bigger, and there were countless practice exercises and prompts to get the creative juices flowing. I‘m excited to give them a try! Continued in comments ⬇️

“…our gaze is drawn to points of intrigue, from a dark hole in the middle of the road to a black cat lurking in the shadows. Humans instinctively look for novelty and surprise, because any shift in what we see could be a source of danger or delight.”

“Narrative helps us shuttle between representation and experience, between cultural convention and embodied, felt response.”

For today‘s #ScarathlonSprint “2 hours of your choosing” hosted by @dabbe I read from 7-9 PM. I finished 10 short stories out of 2 anthologies.

Finishing the stories gave me 400 points + 2910 ScarathlonWordSearch points + 1 participation point so 3311 #Scarathlon points for Team #SpookyGhostClub 👻🖤👻

Long, busy workday so I am just posting this now. The #ScarathlonSprint hosted by @Catsandbooks fell mid-morning for me while working so I tried to make the best of it. I finished my sections of the leadership books I read for work & then snuck in an early lunch & finished 4 stories. The 4 stories netted me 881 #Scarathlon points for Team #SpookyGhostClub so not too shabby. 👻🖤👻

Tomorrow's #ScarathlonSprint happening from 8 pm - 10 pm CST.
Join in during those hours with your local time zone or converted time zone 🧡🖤

My time zone hasn‘t hooked up well with the #ScarathlonSprint times so far but I squeezed in the first hour of this one hosted by @Emilymdxn before work.

Still counting up readathon hours but I cranked out some decent numbers by reading Halloween stories-a kids book from my TBR & 7 of the 13 stories in this Kindle Unlimited book.

2751 so far for finished books/stories + #ScarathlonWordSearch + participation point for Team #SpookyGhostClub 👻

@Clwojick finds the most spirited Spookies to participate in!! Yayyyyy 👻 1:50 reading time (I‘m calling it 1:45 because math is hard) = 325 … is that right y‘all?

Such a cute idea! And it made me read 50 minutes longer than I would have before diving headfirst into 🍿Making progress on my buddy read 😃📖

#ScarathlonSprint

Hey guys! I thought it would be a great time to test run our first #scarathlon #readingsprint on Listy. 🖤This event will start in 15 minutes and run for 2 hours.

No major rules, just post your final reading time at the end of the sprint, and tag the host using #scarathlonsprint. You do not have to finish the book to qualify for the 2x pts, but if you made progress during a sprint, your Halloween read will go from 25pts to 50pts etc.
