I love history, everything about history. When I received this in one of my swaps from the amazing @Amiable I was so excited.
I started it today.
The gripping story of an esteemed rare + map dealer who made millions stealing priceless maps.

Litsy!

I know someone has organized a Litsy A to Z read for CLASSICS next year but I can't figure out who it is now. HALP! I'm lost and still feeling new to this place, lol.

Is it you? I'm building my list now and want to join in 😂

#classics #atoz #atozreads #readinglist #tbr

Drnkpnkprincess I‘m having the same problem with #litsyatoz and #roundtheworld or #passport reads? Ive been waiting for my confirmation emails I can‘t remember now 🤦🏼‍♀️ 7y
SkeletonKey @Drnkpnkprincess - I don't know those! My only frustration with Litsy is not being able to find things again or save things 😭 7y
Drnkpnkprincess The passport/round the world is when you pick a number and then are given that number of different countries to read a book where either the author is from there or it‘s based in that country. I usually try to screen shot the stuff I like or want to go back to- but then I have 29664 screen shots to sort through. 😩 7y

JessNevertheless I think you‘re looking for #litsyclassics by @Sarah83. I definitely want to join it too. I‘ve been tying to take screenshots of things I‘m interested in and want to come back too although I sometimes forget. 7y
TricksyTails This 👆. The one @JessNevertheless mentioned by @Sarah83 . I want to join so badly but feel my reading slump will make me feel more overwhelmed. 7y
SkeletonKey @JessNevertheless @TricksyTails - Ah, thank you!! I can understand that. It's definitely a large challenge but I'm going to try not to be hard on myself. 7y
JessNevertheless @TricksyTails I get that. I‘m usually better about reading something for a challenge than just on my own. Maybe try picking short books to give you small wins? 7y
TricksyTails Great attitude! You can do it! 🤗 You inspired me to at least make a list. Maybe I'll do what I can. 7y
TricksyTails @JessNevertheless Thank you for the help! I'm trying a shorter book right now. I started it a few days ago and haven't reached page 20. 😖 Going to aim for page 30 by day's end! Such a meager goal!! 😆 7y
JessNevertheless @TricksyTails I believe in you!! Sometimes interest ebbs and flows and that‘s okay. I‘m sure you‘ll get out of your rut soon! 7y
TricksyTails @JessNevertheless Aww thank you so much! 🤗 7y
vivastory I am tempted by this, especially since I love the classics. But I failed my #litsyatoz challenge for this year 7y
Sarah83 Have you found my post? Or should I link you? 😉 7y
SkeletonKey @Sarah83 - I found it but if you'd like to link here again it might help me find it next time I'm being forgetful 😂 Thanks for organizing it! 7y
SkeletonKey @vivastory - I rarely succeed at these things but always read more than I would have otherwise so I'm not too much of a stickler about it 😊 7y
Sarah83 I tag you. 😉 7y
vivastory I just counted the books I read for the #litsyatoz challenge & I read 10. So, not a total failure 7y
erinreads @Sarah83 Can you tag me in your post with the link to sign up? I‘m making my list now! 😎 7y
Sarah83 @erinreads of course I can 😉 7y
TricksyTails @Sarah83 I think you've tagged me before but would you mind tagging me with the link to sign up again? I can't seem to find it. Thank you. 7y
Sarah83 @TricksyTails sure I can. 😉 7y
TricksyTails @Sarah83 Thank you 😊 7y
