In yesterday's #LitsyLove mail, I learned that @wordzie and I used to be neighbors! I sure wish we had had the opportunity to meet in-person. Thanks for the lovely note, doll! It made my day! 😘

I haven't gotten into the swing yet; but it's one of my weekly goals for March, so prospects are good for me gearing up soon. Stay tuned, #LitsyLove crew. 💙

LibrarianRyan Are you and IL kitten too? 6y
JoyBlue @LibrarianRyan I am! Where are you? 6y

JoyBlue @LibrarianRyan Awesome! I occasionally visit. 6y
LibrarianRyan @JoyBlue I‘m two blocks from Lincoln‘s tomb. We normally do a #stlouismeetup once a year but I was thinking of trying to do a Chicago and maybe even a capitol city one. But I just remembered P is on the other boarder by newton. But I will try to remember you are a land of Lincoln member. 6y
wordzie 🙌 I'm so glad u got it! 😘❤❤💃 6y
JoyBlue @LibrarianRyan A Chicago-area meetup would be awesome! 6y

Time for the bookish discussion question of the day ???????! Hat tip @Sills . Here it is: Can we get a listing here of all the different exchanges, swaps, buddyreads, challenges, clubs, meetups, etc, that are hosted here on Litsy, and who hosts them?

For example, there are other "editions" of it, but I've organized the #LitsyGoesPostalOG bookclub & helped organize others. @BookishMarginalia organizes various Goes Postal swaps.

#BookTalk

Reecaspieces Good question. I would like to know this too! 7y

I only bought one book at the #stlouismeetup and only because my BN doesn't have it yet.

The remarkable, fantastic @LibrarianRyan is putting together a superb event, the #StLouisMeetUp! Littens will expect lots of pictures 😆👏🏻🙌🏻. #LitsyPhotoOp #LitsyFamily

LibrarianRyan I guess I will need to clean out my phone. Thanks for the share!🤓😜 7y
MrBook @LibrarianRyan 😁😉👍🏻 7y
drbethandherkindle @LibrarianRyan keep me in the loop for this! I'm hoping to actually be in town that weekend! 7y

LibrarianRyan @drbethandherkindle that is awesome. I will add you to the list. I think it's going to be the west county BN. Which makes sense since the other place is close to downtown and there's a cub/card game that night. 7y
drbethandherkindle @LibrarianRyan okay great! The CWE is probably going to be tricky on a Friday so good call on West County 7y
booklvr39 I live in St Louis, so it doesn't matter to me. Please keep me posted on this if you can 7y
goktrose Wait, I actually live someplace where something is happening?! Woo! I don't have a car, but I will try to be there. 7y

Man time is flying. I am putting together a #litsymeetup in St. Louis. I originally set out a Saturday date but I know a few people couldn't make it, and I had something come up as well. So let's try for a Friday. Which would work better for those that can attend. Left Bank Books or one of the Barnes and Nobel. I do realize that most will be coming from work. #stlouismeetup

BTW if anyone is going to Penned Con see you there!

MaureenMc I believe I can still do Friday! As for the bookstore, is there an area where the majority will be? I'm in West County (although I don't mind driving elsewhere.) 7y
LibrarianRyan @MaureenMc I'm staying at the parkway but I know my way around pretty well so I can do either. 7y
mabell Thanks for tagging me! I don't know if I will be able to make it - hopefully I can. 🤞I'm in South City, so Left Bank and the West County BN would be the closest to me I believe. 7y

Chrys I don't know that I can make Friday, I will have to see if I can get someone to come in early for me at work. If I can West County would work for me 7y
readinginthedark This should work for me. And I'm in St. Peters, so it takes me the same amount of time to get anywhere in StL; we can meet wherever. (edited) 7y
readinginthedark @abbsinwonderland @vivastory @tpixie @goktrose Tagging some more people that might be interested! @LibrarianRyan will be in town, so we're gonna' meet-up! 7y
LibrarianRyan @readinginthedark yes yes yes. I'll post a new graphic tonight and tag anyone you tag as well!!! Yeahhhhh 7y
readinginthedark 👍🏻 7y
tpixie Ooh! Have fun! I‘ll be babysitting my grandson but would at least consider driving there 7y
abbsinwonderland @readinginthedark Thanks for the tag! Unfortunately, that's two days after my birthday and I have plans! Have fun everyone! 7y
vivastory I hope to be there! It depends on when I'll be visiting my cousin & his family. 7y
readinginthedark @tpixie Your grandson is welcome to tag along! Depending on how things play out, I might have my son with me. 7y
readinginthedark @abbsinwonderland Well, happy early birthday! We'll catch you next time! 7y
tpixie @sammisho @Daisey here‘s a meet up- but it‘s a Friday- so with Work may not be able to get to St Louis. 7y
tpixie @readinginthedark thx- but it‘s too far - I‘m in the middle of Kansas. 7y
Daisey @tpixie Thanks for the tag, and with family in St. Charles I would possibly consider a trip to St. Louis for a meet-up but not this time. 7y
readinginthedark @tpixie Oh sure, understandable. 7y
tpixie @Daisey 🌞 7y
goktrose Boo I am leaving that afternoon to drive to a concert in Wisconsin, so everyone going will have to enjoy the bookish fun on my behalf! 7y
Gezemice Oh I missed this. I live in Urbana, IL, I could make a St Louis meetup. Let me know if there is another one! 7y
LibrarianRyan @Gezemice cool beans. I'm actually in Springfield myself. By way of mattoon. 7y
Gezemice @LibrarianRyan well now. We could have a Central Illinois meetup! 7y
LibrarianRyan @Gezemice we totally can. We have one who's daughter lives in around Springfield but she lives closer to St. Louis. 7y
Gezemice Oh cool! I know some live nearby but I was gone for a while and forgot whom. 🙁 I am a bad girl. I'l keep track next 7y

Hey all,

I was wondering if any one

1 would be interested in a #StLouisMeetUp.
2 is going to Penned Con in St. Louis.

I thought even if no one else is going to Penned Con, maybe some would still like to meet up that Saturday. Maybe at the big Barnes and Nobel, or at Main street Books in St. Charles. Anyone interested ?

readinginthedark I don't know if I'll be at Penned Con, but I'll definitely meet you if I can! Anyone else? @moarbookspleaze @mabell @Bklover @MaureenMc (edited) 7y
moarbookspleaze @readinginthedark I have to go to a wedding that day. 😞 7y
LibrarianRyan @moarbookspleaze @readinginthedark maybe Friday night is better? 7y

LibrarianRyan @readinginthedark I won't lie, I'm going to Peened con because I had free tickets. 7y
MaureenMc Can't do Penned Con but am interested in the meet up! Either Friday or Saturday could work currently. 7y
LibrarianRyan @MaureenMc cool beans. I have enough, I guess I'll start setting something up. 7y
readinginthedark As of right now, I'm free that whole weekend, so whatever works best for everyone. 7y
readinginthedark Oh @Chrys , you too? 7y
