So...My cat bit my phone. His tooth hit the screen just right, and of course it stopped working. I had to ship it out for repairs, and have been without it for almost a week. I'm now frustrated by how many things require a code to be sent to your phone in order to use them.

I've been trying to use the litsy website since I don't have access to the app, but it's been so glitchy I haven't been able to post in a while. Technology hates me.

Ruthiella I‘m sorry you are experiencing this. It is incredible how much we rely on our phones and technology. Hope it gets sorted out soon. ❤️ 5d
BookBr It‘s one of those hateful necessities these days… 5d
lil1inblue @Ruthiella It's kind of crazy. I'm not even missing the “phone“ function. It's everything else. I can't check my bank account. I can't log into my email from my work computer. It's pretty eye-opening! 5d

TieDyeDude I forgot my phone at home one day and literally could not even check my bank account while at work because the bank's website needed to send me a verification code. It is so obnoxious! 5d
Suet624 Have you emailed litsy@librarything.com about the computer glitches. I have and maybe the more frustrating like who do will get them to look into it. 5d
Bookwomble @Suet624 A report was made to Library Thing about the Litsy website issues, and Tim Spalding has responded and confirmed that the system administrators are working in it, with hopes that proper service will soon be restored. You can check the thread here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/347635#n8792102 5d
lil1inblue @Suet624 I got the email from another post and did send a friendly email last night. Hopefully things are sorted soon! 5d
Graywacke Oye. Cats. Ours took my daughter‘s laptop once - one bite. 4d
lil1inblue @Graywacke Oof! I love cats, but they can be so mischievous! 4d
Graywacke @lil1inblue yes. They‘re awful and we love them. 🙂 Our current one is 6 lbs and cries until someone gives her a lap. She can‘t stay warm 🐈‍⬛ 4d

I finally was able to get Litsy to load so I could post here. The last few days Litsy has been incredibly slow for me, making posting and reviews, etc. practically impossible. I've tried numerous devices to access litsy online (not the app), and it hasn't made a difference. Anyone else notice this? Or is the universe conspiring against me? ;-)

Deblovestoread Mine are slower to post than normal and I‘ve seen others post about these issues so you are not alone. Hope is gets working right soon! 💚🍀💚 6d
Jess I‘m in the same boat and having more and more issues with the app and online versions. I started tracking in StoryGraph instead because Litsy has become so difficult. 6d
WildAlaskaBibliophile I've been trying since nearly 2 hours ago to post a review of a book and I keep getting the spinning wheel of death or a gateway error message. I give up! 6d

Bookwomble If you have a Library Thing account (and you can open one for free if not), you could post a bug report in the LT Litsy Group page. The LT Devs are very responsive: https://www.librarything.com/topic/347635#n8738783 6d
Bookwomble I usually use the app, but just went on the website to add a work not in the Litsy database, and got the 502 Bad Gateway message, also, so I've reported that and notified that it's happening for other users more generally 🙂 6d
TheBookgeekFrau I saw a post a few minutes ago that the problem was being worked on. You're not alone 😊 6d
AnnCrystal Wonderful that we have Litsy again 👏📚🥳💝. 2d

You have to know I‘m the Queen of these type of books. Over my long time on this planet I have acquired a heap of them. Recently culled them down to one bookshelf. This seems to be the flavour of the day right now . A gentle reminder of things I have learnt along the way. But more importantly a nudge to actually apply theses things. She is a dynamic personality . I‘ve used her theory, not always easy , but has helped. You can teach an old chook 👇

Jeg new tricks. 😊 1w

An interesting look at tackling clutter and chaos in life. I loved the toothbrush theory as it makes so much sense. Really useful and gives you actual exercises to help get started. 4*

She does a fine job of setting out her stall, that between the ages of 8 and 40 or so we're effectively hijacked by biology and culture and that midlife is an opportunity to become our true selves. However I found I don't subscribe to the myths about ageing that she assumes are universal, so it wasn't nearly the paradigm shift that was promised. And while she's good on excavating one's authentic dreams, the realising of them is more problematic.

quietlycuriouskate For instance, suggesting we outsource the "life stuff" that feels like a chore. And how am I to pay for that? With chickpeas? 1mo
TheBookHippie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have fresh eggs that might get me somewhere… 1mo
Caroline2 Chickpeas 😂 I‘ve heard the exchange rate for chickpeas at the mo is favourable though. 👍 I know what you mean, I feel like I‘ve read a lot about rich women “changing their lives” lately. They completely underestimate how difficult it is for the rest of us!!! 1mo

Check out my saltiest video yet.
Over 30 minutes of ranting about books.
I am exhausted 😅😅

willaful lol! 1mo
The_Penniless_Author Nothing like seeing my book prominently displayed behind a grimacing Rae flashing a thumbs-down. 🤣 I don't know whether to feel heartened or concerned. 1mo
The_Penniless_Author It did get me to watch the entire video as well as check out your Goodreads, so as a marketing tool, hat's off! 😆 1mo

February 17, 2025 FINISHED! I am proud of myself for jumping on the train and reading this book. It is a helpful tool that I can always use --- well maybe when I feel is appropriate --- in my daily life. Not everything in this book relates to me but I can connect with the section titled "Your Relationships and the Let Them Theory". This section was about adulting and really stuck with me. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
