Book Club: An Unshelved Collection | Bill Barnes

repost for @BookishBrunette1

Would anyone be interested in joining me for a #LMPBC of our own? I‘d love to do it if a couple of people are interested. I took this picture recently to celebrate the fact that I finally had all of Abbi Waxman‘s books, and might use The Garden of Small Beginnings as my starting book if we decide to make this happen. Of course, I have a lot of others to choose from though.

BookishBrunette1 Thanks for sharing this on my behalf! Hopefully people will be interested if we can all stay in the habit of using media mail. 1w

BookishBrunette1 There were comments on this yesterday, from people who were interested in doing this with me. Where did they go? 1w

Garden of Small Beginnings | Abbi Waxman

Would anyone be interested in joining me for a #LMPBC of our own? It‘s not done through Litsy anymore, but I‘d love to do it on our own if a couple of people are interested. I took this picture recently to celebrate the fact that I finally had all of Abbi Waxman‘s books, and might use The Garden of Small Beginnings as my starting book if we decide to make this happen. Of course, I have a lot of others to choose from though. @LitsyEvents

kspenmoll I loved

The Garden of Small Beginnings

BookishBrunette1 @kspenmoll I've read and loved The Bookish Life of Nina Hill and Adult Assembly Required. According to ChatGPT this is the order her books are “supposed“ to be read in but I love the fact that each of her books can be read as a stand alone as well. 1w

bookandbedandtea I'd be interested in joining! 📬 1w

BookishBrunette1 @bookandbedandtea would you be willing to get in touch via Facebook messenger or email for the planning process? That might be easier and faster than here since there isn't an instant messaging feature or a way to contact each other directly other than commenting on each other's posts (unless there's a feature I don't know about.) 1w

StayCurious I‘d be interested but I‘m in Canada. Not sure where you both are posting from? 1w

BookishBrunette1 @StayCurious I‘m in California. I‘m not sure where @bookandbedandtea is posting from. 1w

hya Hii!! Nice to meet you ❤️ I wanted to ask what is LMPBC and how can one be part of it?? I live in India btw 1w

BookishBrunette1 @hya I don‘t remember what each letter stands for. We each start with a book from our own shelf, and write our thoughts in the margins (or a separate paper) as we read. Once we finish our book, we send it to another participant. By the end of the swap, every participant has read their own book and all of the books chosen by other participants, and shared their thoughts. It‘s fun, but it might be hard to do since we live so far apart. 1w

bookandbedandtea I'm in Colorado. I'd be happy to send you an email if you'll add yours here. I agree that it would be easier to coordinate that way. 7d

BookishBrunette1 @bookandbedandtea mine is varela.sophia01@gmail.com 7d

bookandbedandtea @BookishBrunette1 I just sent you an email 😀 5d

hya @BookishBrunette1 oh ok got it!! And I agree it'll be really difficult! 1d

hya @BookishBrunette1 thank you for replying 😊!! 1d

The Book Haters' Book Club | Gretchen Anthony

pick

@LitsyEvents I‘m a returning Litsy user and often think of a swap/bookclub I was part of because it was so fun. The tagged book is the one I used for that swap. We were split into groups of 4 or so, each person chose a book from our own shelf, wrote our thoughts in the margins and sent it to the next person. By the end, each of us got to read our own book and all of those chosen by the other group members. I‘d love to do that again.

ShelleyBooksie Due to the cost of shipping, this one hasn't run in awhile. It was a lot of fun! 2w

BookishBrunette1 @ShelleyBooksie gotcha. That makes sense. I‘ve mentioned it to a few book loving friends. They all liked the idea, but our follow through is pretty terrible. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2w

ShelleyBooksie I know in the US there is the option of media mail but in Canada we don't have that and the shipping often exceeds the cost of the book - boo! I always enjoyed reading the notes others wrote!. 2w

BookishBrunette1 @ShelleyBooksie I do remember being encouraged to use media mail. That swap made me get over my aversion to writing in books. I loved reading other people‘s thoughts, figuring out what got their attention that may not have caught mine. 2w

LitsyEvents Welcome back! Have @ShelleyBooksie and @TieDyeDude answered your questions? I believe you were thinking of #LMPBC (if you want to explore the event & how it worked). Also look at #LItsySwaps for some of the Halloween and winter holiday activities. Please retag us if you decide to create a post to gauge interest or if you start an event! 2w

ElizaMarie I enjoyed when I engaged in these swaps- if you put one together please let me know 1w

BookishBrunette1 @ElizaMarie If you‘re still interested, please email me varela.sophia01@gmail.com. @bookandbedandtea will also be joining us. I think 3 is a fine little group size. I haven‘t seen any others who have specifically said they‘re interested. Hopefully I haven‘t missed any. 5d

Everything I like in a cozy mystery. Amateur female sleuth, police detective boyfriend, likable supporting characters, small town setting, and a mystery that I can‘t figure out. I‘ll read more of this series. 4⭐️

This was my April pick for #ThematicCozies #Sport, and also my #BookSpin #DoubleSpin

TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! Also - I got Indiscretion in the mail yesterday!!! Thank you so much for sending it back, I genuinely forgot you had it 😂 But in fairness I've had The Smile of a Stranger for so long that I literally don't remember who is supposed to get it next! 😂 😂 😂 5mo

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣 Once the structure of #LMPBC disappeared, we dissolved into chaos! 🤪🫠😂 5mo

mhillis I ended up reading this one too!! I agree — it was really good 😊 4mo

julieclair @mhillis We have good taste! 😘 4mo

mhillis @julieclair Indeed!! 4mo

Legendborn (Legendborn 1) | Tracy Deonn

Just stumbled upon this book a few days ago and I‘m totally loving it. And the 3rd book Oathbound just came out yesterday. I have some reading to do to catch up. But I don‘t see that a problem.

#Legendborn #TracyDeonn #series #ebook #kindle

5feet.of.fury Love that series, I preordered book 3 so I‘m hoping to get to it soon 6mo

Fr3NcHtOaSt @5feet.of.fury funny thing is I started reading this on a whim and then realized that the third book was coming out the next day. Had to preorder it and get it so I had it 6mo

5feet.of.fury @Fr3NcHtOaSt perfect timing! I read the first one in 2023 with #lmpbc and then jumped immediately into book 2 so I‘d been waiting a bit for book 3, currently listening to the audiobook for it & really enjoying it 6mo

One Perfect Couple | Ruth Ware

Any of these strike your fancy @Jerdencon @bookandbedandtea ? I have a neverending pile of mystery/thrillers from which to choose, so I can pull another four if needed 😂

Since we aren't #LMPBC anymore, do we need another name? #TravelingThrills ? 😆

bookandbedandtea When I was at the past office yesterday I was thinking we needed a new name! #TravelingThrills works for me. 😁 I've read Going Zero but any of the others works for me. 8mo

Jerdencon Im actually reading the Perfect Couple now for #auldlangspine but any of the others are good with me! Love the #travelingthrills as a new name! @bookandbedandtea 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @Jerdencon @bookandbedandtea - Okay, I think I am going to go with First Lie Wins. I really enjoyed one of Elston's YA thrillers, so I'm interested to see how she does an adult one. 8mo

bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks That sounds great. I'm excited to be reading another round together! @Jerdencon #TravelingThrills 8mo

The Mystery Off Glen Road | Julie Campbell

I have my starter pile for the #ForTheLoveofBooks readathon this weekend. I've been trying to take one day a week as a break from social media (currently Fridays) so I am posting a day early. Planning to finish the tagged book for #BobWhiteBuddies and Paddy's for #Roll100 . The Midnight Witness is my August book for (unofficial) #LMPBC . And of course at least one more Amelia Peabody book, maybe more 😂 Thanks for hosting @TheSpineView !!!

TheSpineView You're welcome! Enjoy!💜📖 12mo

bookandbedandtea Yay for you taking a weekly day off from social media! I think I'll start doing that too! 12mo

TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea - I've been experimenting with different ways to cut screen time a little, so I'm trying to make Fridays be a day where I don't use the internet for “fun“ stuff like social media or playing Stardew Valley. Last week was my first time, and I was genuinely surprised at how often I went to pick up my phone and just scroll IG or Litsy for “a minute“ of down time. If nothing else, a good act of self-awareness!! 12mo
