Time for a much needed #SaturdayChatterday

Well, what a week it's been for everyone. How are you feeling? This is a safe space to chat about whatever is on your mind.
All welcome to join in.

@Catsandbooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle @IndoorDame @Cuilin @dabbe @BarkingMadRead @Eggs

AllDebooks I've taken refuge in books this week. The real world has been too much. 2w
Librarybelle I found I wanted to read last night, which it‘s been a few days since I really could. There‘s been a lot on my mind, and Heather Cox Richardson‘s post this morning puts it into words so eloquently. She‘s an amazing political historian who bases everything she says on facts and history. But, this weekend is usual routines, with Sunday being a family get together. These checkins are so nice. Thank you! ❤️ 2w
Bookwormjillk Happy Saturday. I have a busy week next week so I have to do some prep this weekend. I also have been doing some research for books to read next year which is fun. 2w

Cuilin What a week! there‘s never been a time in my life where I prefer audiobooks to reading, but I did this week. All I wanted to do was curl up and listen to David Copperfield‘s life. Today I‘m going Providence RI to get my daughter for the long weekend. 2w
Cuilin @Librarybelle H Cox Richardson is amazing. 2w
DogMomIrene @Librarybelle @Cuilin I may need to suck it up and subscribe/pay for H Cox Richardson‘s substack. @Suet624 mentioned her to me. I‘ve tried Substack before and was overwhelmed by the number of emails I received. Wondering what you all would say the average read time is for her posts? Under ten minutes? Like could I make her a daily morning read with coffee? And then continue coffee with Litsy time (obviously 😉) 2w
Cuilin @DogMomIrene I follow her on TikTok. 2w
Suet624 @DogMomIrene @Librarybelle - I've followed Heather for years. You can read her on Facebook but the simplest method is subscribing on Substack. You don't have to pay for it if you don't want to. She is also doing an audio version if you're interested in that. It comes out later in the day. Did you see the post she wrote the day after the election? And her posts generally take less than 10 minutes to read. 2w
Librarybelle @DogMomIrene @Suet624 @Cuilin I just started following her on FB, after reading the reposts friends would do! I also heard her speak a few weeks ago at a virtual event, and I was struck by how articulate and knowledgeable she is. I have her books and really need to read them. I agree with @Suet624 …it takes me less than 10 minutes to read her posts. 2w
AllDebooks @Librarybelle How have I never heard of her? I'll be checking out her posts. Thank you. Knowledge is power! Honestly, these #chatterdays are a blessing and it's so much fun to check in. 2w
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk it's always fun to plan future reads. I hope your prep gies well. 2w
AllDebooks @Cuilin Same! I've found them better at quietening the mind. And I've certainly needed that. Enjoy your long weekend and have a safe trip. 2w
AllDebooks @DogMomIrene I've just followed her FB page 2w
AllDebooks I have to say Litsy has been a lifeline this week. I've avoided other socials and news, cos it was too much. I've never felt so overwhelmed. The love and compassion of Littens has been a source of comfort. I've never known on an online community that is so supportive of each other. Thank you #Littens 😊 2w
AllDebooks I'm spending the weekend on planning #MidwinterSolace I think we're really going to need it. And it will run thru Dec and Jan again. ❄️❤️❄️ 2w
TheBookHippie Well considering people I love and even some on here voted against my being it‘s 😵‍💫. The people being really quiet because they don‘t dare say hate out loud and actually do know how dangerous it is now for me, and my students especially, (and a large population of people that live in the US) is hard to digest. I‘m not trying to be divisive. It‘s truth. So I‘m grappling with that this morning. (edited) 2w
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks 💙💙💙💙💙 2w
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I couldn't sleep last night after reading Project 2025 earlier in the day. 2w
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I read it long ago. It‘s terrifying. 2w
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie it really is. I'd readnewspaper reports but the actual document is so much more sinister abd divisive 2w
DogMomIrene @Suet624 @Cuilin @Librarybelle @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Thank you Littens! I‘m following her on Substack with notifications through the app only, which will pair nicely with some Litsy coffee time while keeping my email a little less jumbled. Already read her 11/8 post and I‘m all in. 2w
Suet624 @DogMomIrene 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 2w
Suet624 @TheBookHippie Ugh. I know. Thank you for sharing the truth. 2w
kspenmoll Litsy has been my safety net. Taking it easy after election fallout. Talking with like minded friends has helped. Just reading & walking today. Nature soothes me. Trying to keep the terror at bay. 2w
dabbe Thanks for the tag, @MaleficentBookDragon. 😘 I just have to say it: what a fucking week. I also picked a great week to have a dental implant removed--plus finding out I had a pretty bad infection. Just the cherry on the banana split that reeks of mold. But ... the sun keeps rising, and the earth keeps spinning. And this is a place of solace and healing. Thanks, Littens. #onedayatatime 💙 2w
Catsandbooks Feeling overwhelmed, enraged, and exhausted. Been watching a lot of hallmark Christmas movies. My plan for the rest of the year is to really lean into all things comfort and cozy. I just wanna stay in and not deal with people. 2w

Day 22
I also completed my goal and finished The Gambler Grimoire. My life is still a bit mess and it's hard to read like I used to. Maybe next month is better for me. I still have some books that I should read and we have only a week left 🤔

#SummerEndReadathon

TheSpineView Well done! 14mo

Day 6
Same books read, but have also completed my today's goal and read some pages of Storm & Shield.
I have been super tired because I sleep so little. If I wake up at night I start crying and can't fall asleep. Maybe next night is better 💜

AnnCrystal Your new hobby may be the last thing you want to be devoting yourself to, yet I wanted to share because it helps us. When a loved one (person or animal friend) journeys on, we plant a flower or tree in our garden for them. Every time we nourish the memorial plants in our garden, we reminisce... 1y
PageShifter Thank you @dabbe @TheSpineView 🫂

@AnnCrystal I have pondered that too, I mean if I should plant something. But a rose my friend bought me this summer was named “Compassion“. And there was still one flower left when she died (her name was Charm in English), I cut the rose and buried it with my sunshine. Somehow that rose bush reminds me now forever of her 💜

#KeepLitsyPositive #Day4:SimpleTruths

Recovery Slogans can be as annoying as running out of toilet paper but they are almost always irritatingly true. Focus on today, tomorrow will do tomorrow no matter if you fret, scream, or eat a cookie. So eat a cookie... it‘s way more fun.

SleepyDragon You'll get there. 6y
tammysue Are you feeling a little better today? ❤️🤗 6y
BeansPage @whatshesreadingnow thank you for checking up on me sweetie I appreciate it. Yesterday was really tough on me. I had my first really bad panic attacks since I left the hospital and it took a lot out of me. But my husband put me straight to bed last night after the attack and I got a really good night's rest so I am feeling much better today. 😃 6y
