Welcome to Litsy!

1. _If_ I know the other person's taste and style, I LOVE recommending Dean Koontz for so many reasons that it'll have to be another post.
2. SpiderMan: Far From Home - cute, funny, good summer flick
3. Sweet corn! I'm so sad the rain made spring planting so bad in the Midwest.
4. Um...ten. I think.
5. Welcoming @Monstershaped from #habitica!

It's been good to return to Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I'm reading/rereading the whole series as part of a #habitica challenge, and Hogfather was new to me, but a delightful addition to the Death series. Gotta love the satire and parody mixed with just plain funny and highly skilled world- and character-building.

I picked this up for an #ownvoices read as part of a #habitica reading challenge. The description sounded right up my alley- recipes, history, and a touch of the fairy tale. The reality was a good deal stranger. There were several bizarrely sexual scenes and mystical elements mixed in with references to Mexican history and step- by- step recipes.
The whole thing was very jarring.

I picked this off my shelf for my next #habitica #modestreadingchallenge read. Absolutely loved this in high school, but don't think I've read it since. Which is a real shame considering a mutual love of this book is how I met my best friend!
I'm excited to see if the book is as good as I remember.

I had read this years ago and completely forgotten I even owned it. In a happy coincidence, it came up in a #habitica challenge right as the show premiered on Netflix. So I had to read it. I loved every minute of it! I had completely forgotten how funny Crowley and Aziraphale's interactions were!

Went back to work after the furlough and immediately got sick. 😷 Guess I‘m allergic to work! 😜 It‘s amazing how being sick can throw you off your game! Channeling my inner Mary Poppins and trying this app #Habitica which makes daily tasks and big projects feel like a game. Hopefully this‘ll help me get back on track with everything, reading included! I am very behind if I want to meet my reading goal this year 😮 #Ifeeltheneed #theneedtoread

#marchTBR

So I may have let my enthusiasm get the better of me. But here‘s the collected ambition of March:

Carrie #losersclub
The Colour of Magic #ookBookClub
A Wind in the Door buddy read with @Erin7
Murder of Roger Ackroyd & Mystery of the Blue Train #agathachristieclub
Graveyard Book, children‘s lit club
Sing Unburied Sing, IRL book club
Radium Girls, Science book club
Little Children #mountTBR & #LMPBC
Americanah GR group read
Cont‘d👇

I like the plan of attack that #LitsyAtoZ provides me. I followed @mrsmarch's suggestion and made them chunked to-dos in #Habitica with each letter as a checklist item. (Planned books are in the notes!)

As you can see, I'm doing title. My additional challenge is that none of these are graphic novels. *Most* are these are from my TBR list, but I honestly didn't have enough titles for the whole alphabet.

@BookishMarginalia

I tried to start #Habitica back in the summer, but my work stress was too intense and I didn‘t set myself up for success so I fell off. Then Amy died, and my focus and motivation went to hell in a handbasket. I took another shot at it this week and did a better job setting up my Habits and Dailies. I even set up a To-Do (with 14 part checklist!) for #passportlitsy2018! 😮 < — This is my wow face.

So my book buying is out of control. I‘m implementing a #tbr20 challenge for myself. I have to read 20 physical books I already own or Netgalley ARCs before I can purchase another book. Here‘s the start with yesterday‘s #booknlunch - my diner has a “Redneck wrap” (hilarious) with fried chicken, bacon, corn, and mashed potatoes 😍, hand-cut fries, iced tea.
