Hi friends! Reading the comments on @TheAromaofBooks page made me realize how many activities have helped people join our community- I know joining my first swap changed litsy for me. Hashtag comments can lead to activities for people to see how amazing this community is- and much more than book reviews. I may miss some- feel free to add to it, with any information you want to include!
#litsylist #litsywelcomewagon @LitsyWelcomeWagon

Chrissyreadit #bookspin with @thearomaofbooks is a lottery to choose the next book to read on your tbr 2y

The Group: A Novel

Soubhiville It‘s fun posting #bookreport s and #weeklyforcast s every week, led by @Cinfhen 2y

Soubhiville For Terry Pratchett fans, jump in to the #OokBookClub! With @julesG (edited) 2y

OutAndAbout #foodandlit starts in January where @butterfinger and @texreader lead a country-a-month exploration of books and food! (Loaded also on #Storygraph as a public challenge.) 2y

AmyG @BarbaraBB Will you remind us when we should start the book or should we just have it read by that weekend? 2y

BarbaraBB We will remind you but you can read it at any time you like. We will discuss it on Sunday 7 February. I hope you‘ll be there @AmyG 💕 2y

Texreader #litsyatoz with @BookishMarginalia Read a book that starts with every letter of the alphabet, or author‘s name that starts with every letter of the alphabet, or a combination of both 2y

sprainedbrain This is an awesome idea and a great listing! I‘m going to attempt to share! 2y

squirrelbrain What a great idea! Thanks for doing this! 2y

dariazeoli Wonderful idea! And wow, we have so many awesome ways to get involved with each other. Loving the comments this morning ❤️ 2y

TiminCalifornia Thanks for this road map to Litsy! 2y

Liz_M #nyrbbookclub, organized by @vivastory, reads and discusses one nyrb book a month. The co-host for discussion changes each month (@BarbaraBB is co-hosting January only). 2y

Thanks for all the shoutouts there are also a slew of daily challenges spread over a monthly theme lead by @Eggs @OriginalCyn620 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and @Klou And there‘s a lovely group of #BirthdayFairies who spread Birthday cheer @LitsyBirthdays tagging @julesG @robinb @Crazeedi @KarenUK and @squirrelbrain 🧚‍♀️🧚🏻‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🏻‍♂️ (edited) 2y

BookishBelle Don‘t forget #lmpbc (Litsy Markup Postal Book Club) hosted by @suvata Next sign up is in Feb/March, I think. You start or join a group of four. You each buy a book, read it, and send it on. By the end, you‘ve read four books and get your book back with comments from your group members. So fun! And a way to read things you might not have read on your own. 2y

Cuilin Hope it‘s ok to comment here, There are so many readalongs too for people interested in reading a specific author with a group. Check out #pemberlittens, for Jane Austen fans #shakespearereadalong #whattheDickens is new starting in January and open to all. Great idea @Chrissyreadit 2y

DebinHawaii What a great idea! ❤️❤️❤️ 2y

Butterfinger @AkashaVampie @ElizaMarie and @AsYouWish have #NovelWatchingCrew - read the book; watch the movie, a club for paranormal reads and many others. Litsy has things for everyone.

Chrissyreadit @Butterfinger I feel the same way about you! ❤️❤️❤️ 2y

alisiakae What a great idea! And I see some read alongs and challenges I didn‘t really know about. I can‘t wait until work slows down so I can dive into some of these further! In addition to being a co-host of #booked2021, mentioned above, I also host #screamathon every October. I don‘t think I saw this mentioned, but @LibrarianRyan does #BBRC babies and beyond RC, and @ElizaMarie has the monthly #selfcare bingo sheet! And I would be all for ⬇️ 2y

bthegood Thx for posting. I added @LitsyHappenings to follow, forgot about it after I started. ⛄ 2y

alisiakae Cont‘d I would love to see @wanderinglynn to bring back the #bookfitnesschallenge! 🙌🏽 (edited) 2y

Nute This post and thread is wonderful even for a seasoned Litsy participant. It‘s a timely reminder of all things wonderful on Litsy. I‘m making notes! Thanks everyone!💕 2y

Nute I just want to add hashtags that have given attention to literature by People of Color: #ReadSoulLit - an annual photo reading challenge that takes place in February, Black History Month, and then encourages increased reading of books by black authors all year long (hosted by @BrownGirlReading ). 2y

Chrissyreadit @Nute thank you so much! I just followed @BrownGirlReading I don‘t know how this was not on my radar!! 2y

Chrissyreadit @4thhouseontheleft I agree I wish @wanderinglynn just had a #bfc that was monthly. I love my group that continues on WhatsApp. Also @LibrarianRyan gave me a bunch to put on but I had Class right after I posted and this thread became exactly what litsy is to me! A vibrant community of diverse reading activities- I just love this space of social media. Thank you for joining into the thread too ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 2y

Nute Also for increased diverse reading experiences using the following hashtags: #blitsy (thank you @Chelleo ), #integrateyourshelf ( thanks @Emilymdxn and @ChasingOm ). 2y

Nute @Chrissyreadit We need a roundup every now and then. Thanks for doing this!💕 2y

Chrissyreadit @Nute this is totally a team effort!! I could never have done this alone- and I just hope this list can be shared with as many people as possible. 2y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m in so many group reads on here now, and now I just found even more! So great team effort! 2y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa And now I‘m thinking of all the reading challenges we do throughout the year like #LitsyAtoZ with @BookishMarginalia or #MountTBR through Goodreads, or all the other ones that have followings here like #ReadHarder or #Popsugar or Booked2020 now #Booked2021 and so many more (edited) 2y

NovelGirl82 @4thhouseontheleft Hii! Long time no see!! I agree! Lots of things on here that I either haven‘t seen or have forgotten about. I‘m ready for work to slow down (thanks covid) and for this last year of grad school to be over so I can play with you guys more again!! 2y

wanderinglynn @4thhouseontheleft then maybe we‘ll do another round in the new year. ☺️ 2y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Here‘s a post with lots of group tags you can check out when you‘re ready to explore, and people you can follow! Have fun @Gingereads_everything 2y

Mrs_B Hey Chrissy, would this work do you think: https://sites.google.com/view/litsywelcomewagon/home ? 2y

Chrissyreadit @Mrs_B I love that you knew how to add that link- I was trying to figure out how to combine that information with this in one space that every time it‘s tagged doesn‘t make it harder to scroll. @RaimeyGallant @TrishB @julesG @Chelleo have put together amazing resources but I did not know how to link it this way! Thank you so much!!!! 2y

Chrissyreadit @Mrs_B is there a way to “archive” this thread so it can be added to the site? I‘d be glad to have a link in my bio - to the above I just have to figure out how. I‘m not techno savvy 2y

Mrs_B @Chrissyreadit hey Chrissy, great idea, I‘ll hyperlink the picture to this post. Did you click through the pages on the site? 2y

Chrissyreadit @Mrs_B yes- I remember when they were made- I just did not know there was a single link to access it. I always tell people to scroll the hashtag. 2y

RaimeyGallant @Chrissyreadit @Mrs_B Great link idea! 2y

Chrissyreadit Wow!!! @Mrs_B that‘s Amazing!!!! I will add the link to my bio page today. 2y

Chrissyreadit @RaimeyGallant I love having easy access to the info you and @Chelleo did. I‘m going to put it in my bio today. 2y

Mrs_B @RaimeyGallant the videos and tips are amazing. 2y
