Two months ago, I made a stellar decision and joined the Litsy community. Things have been splendid.

I've met a bunch of bookworms.
I've discovered a LOT of great books.
I've found a home.

To make things hella better, just a month ago, I was pleasantly surprised to have actually won @BarbaraBB 's generous giveaway! Wow. These are the books I have received. Boy, I am in cloud nine. Once again, thank you for your kindness. 🖤 #spotlightgiveaway

I‘ve recommended this a couple of other times on Litsy. I think everyone should give this book a chance. It‘s a true story that grabs your attention and makes you race to the finish. #spotlightgiveaway

BarbaraBB Thanks for participating. I really must read this one! 6y

Thank you for your generous #spotlightgiveaway, @BarbaraBB !

There is very little Litsy love for Iris Murdoch and I think more Littens should read her books!

Redwritinghood Love her, but I don‘t think I‘ve read this one. Stacked 6y
Tonton Under the Net is my favorite (edited) 6y
batsy I look forward to reading her novels! I've read only one of her philosophy books which I really liked but no doubt much went over my head 😆 6y
MommyWantsToReadHerBook Yay @Redwritinghood @Tonton @batsy glad to see some Littens are reading her! 6y
BarbaraBB I love Murdoch, but don‘t know this one. Thanks for bringing it up! 6y

The Five Books of Moses Lapinsky | Karen X. Tulchinsky

This moving family saga is in my top five reads of all time and deserves more readers than it‘s gotten. Give it a go, Littens! Tag me if you do - I‘m always thrilled when I see someone read it. #spotlightgiveaway @BarbaraBB

BookishTrish @DebbieGrillo The giveaway ends today if you haven‘t already entered. 🤗 6y
BarbaraBB Wow, an all-time favorite! Thanks for sharing and participating! 6y

Congratulations on 1001 followers, @BarbaraBB and thanks for the chance to win! 😃

💡 I respectfully submit that more people should read Brian Allen Carr... I was introduced to his weird, freaky brand of horror thanks to the enthusiasm of @Liberty

This particular book was unsettling and unusual, but such a trip to read. I also really loved Motherfucking Sharks, but it seems have had more exposure on Litsy.

vivastory This is such a strange book 6y
2BR02B Sounds really interesting. Thanks for the rec! 6y
Tonton Whoa adding to tbr 6y

Library at Night | Alberto Manguel
post image

Congratulations on 1,001 followers @BarbaraBB It's definitely well deserved! Alberto Manguel very well might be my favorite literary critic. No other living writer has more thoroughly explored the meaning of, & the ethics of, "the art of reading." All three volumes, while different, have been constant companions for years. I really can't say enough great things about them.
#spotlightgiveaway

Palimpsest I love Alberto Manguel‘s books. Out of these three you‘ve highlighted I‘ve not read Imaginary Places. I recently read his Packing my Library book and loved it like everything else I‘ve read of his. Wonderful to see someone else who likes his works. 😊 6y
vivastory @Palimpsest Imaginary Places is so much fun to randomly dip into! He writes so thoughtfully & elegantly about literature & reading, I always get new insights when I reread him. I still need to read Packing My Library. I think I'm going to order it now 😄 6y
Kammbia1 I will have to check out Imaginary Places. (edited) 6y
vivastory @Kammbia1 I hope you love it! 6y
BarbaraBB Sounds incredible. Why have I never heard of him?! 6y

To Sir, With Love | E. R. Braithwaite

Hello @BarbaraBB! Thank you for the #spotlightgiveaway! What a thoughtful idea, and certainly adds some great recommendations to our TBR.
I would go with this autobiography - reflecting on fight against prejudice, teacher student bond, and above all, perseverance.

Congrats @BarbaraBB on your Litsy milestone ❤️ Thanks for this fabulous #spotlightgiveaway! I'm going to highlight this beautiful book that got quite a bit of critical praise but maybe didn't quite make a big splash because it's a quiet, self-contained, & ultimately devastating book about a young Tamil man's experience in the war camp towards the end of the Sri Lankan war. Hard to read but elegant, philosophical, & emotionally true.

BarbaraBB Coming from you that book goes straight to my TBR. Thank you for participating 😘 6y
