Treasure island | Robert Louise Stevenson

What the feck, why did they leave the stockade and given the pirates the map? What‘s going on around here? Why aren‘t they rescuing Jim?

Anna Karenina | Leo Tolstoy

📖Tea with Anna this frigid January morning. I am just loving the story flow and Tolstoy‘s style of writing.

#AnnaKareninaReadalong #TeaandBook #CurrentlyReading

monalyisha I loved Anna Karenina... to the point where I mentioned it in my online dating profile. Thank goodness my now-husband was not deterred. Haha. 6y

batsy It's such a gorgeous book. I was surprised by how much I loved it. Would love to re-read it but other books (like War and Peace) await... 6y

Jess_Read_This @monalyisha Awwww! I love that story! He must have been impressed with how well read you are! 6y

Jess_Read_This @batsy I kind of am curious about War and Peace now since I‘m liking Anna so much. Which has utterly surprised me. I was intimidated for so long by it. 6y

Blaire Wonderful book and beautiful photo! 6y

Bklover I‘m ready for a reread of this. I remember being totally surprised at how much I loved it 6y

readinginthedark @batsy @Jess_Read_This I‘m planning to read War and Peace this year, too! Maybe we should do it together! Unless you‘re reading it now, ‘cause I need a month or two. 6y

readinginthedark Also, I love your mug! 6y

Ncostell I‘m starting this today. It‘s been on my TBR pile for too long, so no time like the present! 6y

Jess_Read_This @readinginthedark @batsy I‘d be down for a buddy read of War and Peace in 2018 if you both would like! 6y

Jess_Read_This @readinginthedark Thank you!! It‘s a Rae Dunn mug. I just bought it a week ago, so they are circulating at various TJ Maxx‘s or Homegoods! 6y

Jess_Read_This @Ncostell Oh terrific! I hope you join in on the readalong discussions!! 6y

Ncostell I have my work cut out for me but would love to follow along with the read along discussions. 6y

batsy @readinginthedark @Jess_Read_This I would love to! But I've got stuff like Germinal and Moby Dick lined up this year for litsyclassics. Can I throw in W&P? 😂 I'm not sure. Please go ahead when you're both ready and if I have a copy by then I'll see how reckless I'm feeling 😆😆 6y

readinginthedark @batsy 😆Understood! 6y

Jess_Read_This @batsy @readinginthedark I completely understand! You‘ve got some impressive classics ahead for you this year! I was thinking maybe early fall? Is that too late, Hannah? Like September? 6y

readinginthedark Not too late for me! 👍🏻 6y

batsy If you guys don't mind, can you please tag me when you're ready to start? I'm not sure yet but I'd love to buddy read this and I need the prodding... And from this vantage point, September seems doable 😂 @readinginthedark 6y

readinginthedark @batsy No problem! 😉And I know what you mean—it always seems like you have plenty of time in January! 6y

Jess_Read_This @batsy @readinginthedark Great! This will be fun! I don‘t know why I associate the book as being a good early fall read, but for some reason I do. 😃 I‘m so excited to read it with a group too. 6y

Erin7 I‘m enjoying this one too. @Jess_Read_This @batsy @readinginthedark Would it be alright if I joined in to read War and Peace in the fall? It‘s been staring at me for some time but I‘ve been intimidated to read it. It would be a great motivator to not be reading it alone. 6y

Jess_Read_This @Erin7 Definitely!!! The more the merrier!! I found reading Anna so motivating with a group and the ATB. I will respond to your awesome observations tmw morning! 6y

readinginthedark Done! 😉I‘m keeping a record so I don‘t forget who wanted to join in! 6y

JaclynW I may be interested in joining the War and Peace buddyread too. If I can... I loved Anna Karenina so much! War and Peace intimidates me, it would be nice to read along with people. I'm not sure what September will bring yet. But tag me if you will! 😊😊😊 6y

Jess_Read_This @JaclynW Definitely!! I‘m loving that our group is growing! @readinginthedark one more for the tag list!! 😄 6y

readinginthedark @Jess_Read_This @JaclynW Got it! 😉 6y

JaclynW @readinginthedark @Jess_Read_This Thank you! 6y

Another moment I‘m grateful for: a good book and a cup of tea.

What are you grateful for today?

The Swap | Antony Moore

I'm trying to compile a list of swap ideas for next year!

So many people loved the #BookmarkSwap idea. And I know there's the #HalloweenGoesPostal #secretsantagoespostal #hyggeswap but I was wondering if there was anything else you guys were wanting to swap or any other swaps you've heard of?

I'm planning a tshirt swap for February, but I was thinking of a coffee/tea swap, or a bullet journal supply swap. What do you guys think? #swap

JazzFeathers The coffee/tea would be awesome 🤗 6y

JackOBotts I like the idea of a notebook/#bujo swap...though my notebook addiction is serious. In fact, all of these (T-shirt, coffee/tea, etc.) sound like fun! 6y

CoffeeK8 No other ideas but I like the ones you came up with! 6y

See All 64 Comments

PandaPanda @Mommamanzi did an amazing retellings swap this year! 6y

MatchlessMarie I think a blind date with a book swap might be fun. Or maybe an online white elephant would be neat. https://m.wikihow.com/Have-an-Online-White-Elephant-Gift-Exchange?amp=1 6y

LeahBergen There's a coffee and book club (or swap?) going around on here right now that looks fun. I love the idea of a #TeaAndBook swap! ☕️ 📚 6y

TricksyTails All great ideas! I like the bullet journal/notebook and coffee ideas. But I'm picky about coffee and don't like artificial flavors. I was thinking of starting a swap for comfort foods and books but don't think I'll manage it. I like the idea though. Books and a movie? I'll keep thinking. 🤔 6y

Clwojick @TricksyTails chocolate swap? 6y

TricksyTails Who can say no to chocolate? Oh.... wait. There was a meme thingy going around about chocolate preferences and there were surprisingly many who don't like chocolate. Well for the people who do like it, you could determine their preference in the survey (dark, milk, etc). Coffee and chocolate go well! I'm hoping someone gets me and sends me that special maple coffee *cough cough* 😂 6y

Clwojick @TricksyTails cough cough hahahahahah 😂 we could always do our own swap, if you want. Just the two of us. I'd be down for that later towards the new year. It seems we have A LOT in common. 6y

Clwojick @TricksyTails I am in Canada though, so shipping prices might be lame. 6y

TricksyTails LET'S DO IT!!! 👍😆 6y

Aloisi_tribe What about a Christmas ornament swap? 6y

Clwojick @Aloisi_tribe omg! Yes! That is a good one! 6y

Clwojick @TricksyTails hahah okay email me, and we can work out the details, I might have to start looking for ideas now, but maybe we can ship it out closer to the end of January? That'll give me enough time to find some goodies. 😉 and we can figure out what the other person likes, etc. I will seriously have to restrain myself from not buying any of the books on my TBR though. I'm always so bad at joining swaps, then going out and finding good deals... 6y

Clwojick @TricksyTails ... and buying them for myself. 🙈🙈 seriously. It's so hard, I have a thrift store that's a 5 min walk from my work, and they have 50% off books or 10/$5 atleast once a week. How you you say no to 50 cent books, the most I've ever paid there was $1 per book. 6y

monalyisha Coffee & t-shirts sound rad! Socks, maybe? 6y

DiruVamp LOVE the bullet journal swap idea! I‘m a total bullet journal nerd! 🤓 washi, stickers, notebooks ahhhh heaven! 6y

TricksyTails You live in the BEST place with your libraries and thrift stores and maple coffee!! 😆 I'm guilty of the same! I'll end up buying for myself instead! Let's focus on doing ours after all the other ones you've got going on. I am in no rush whatsoever. Besides, it'll give me time to start stockpiling goodies! 😜 No stress. Take care of the swaps you got going first. I'll email you soon so we can figure this out! Yay! Excited!! 👏😁 6y

Clwojick @DiruVamp same. I am a serious addict when it comes to stationary and scrapbook supplies 6y

DiruVamp @Clwojick I hope you get enough interest in that one! Im already thinking of so many cool ideas 😂 6y

Aleida Tote bag swap! 6y

Aleida @Clwojick I love stationary too. And really nice pencils. 6y

TEArificbooks Love the idea of bullet journal or reading journal plus supplies swap. What about a coloring book and supplies swap? Cook book and small kitchen dodad swap? Puzzle book swap? 6y

Clwojick @mdm139 loving them all! Writing them down! Maybe I'll host a different one every month or two. 6y

Clwojick @TricksyTails @mdm139 Maybe Valentine's Day Stocking stuffers? I know stockings are normally Xmas, but little gifts similar to what you'd stuff a stocking with. Or maybe for #ChristmasinJuly 6y

TEArificbooks @Clwojick christmas in july would be fun, christmas book cozy socks etc but maybe hard to find small christmas items in july 6y

BethM @BookishMarginalia also hosts cupidgoespostal and summer Santa. I like the idea of coffee and tea. I would also love a culture swap- you must get someone from a different country/culture and items should be centered around things specific to the region. 6y

TEArificbooks @Clwojick valentines chocolate/candy swap would be fun with romance books or books with red covers 6y

BethM Maple coffee 😱I go to Ontario every spring and I've never seen any. Must. Look. Harder. 6y

BethM @mdm139 love the romance idea! 6y

TEArificbooks @BethM love the culture swap or local product/souvoner swap. A book by a local author or based in the town/state or nonfiction about local history plus souvenors like postcards, tshirts, magnets etc 6y

BethM @mdm139 yes that makes it so much less narrow!! 6y

Clwojick @mdm139 @bethm a book tote from your local library or book store 😉 6y

TEArificbooks @Clwojick yes that would be so cute👍people in big cities can focus on their city, people in small towns can focus on their state or country 6y

BethM @mdm139 @Clwojick I'm buying stuff before we lose one of our bookstores bc they carry that stuff😁 6y

Clwojick @bethm BUY ALL THE BOOKISH THINGS! 🤗🤗🤗 6y

TricksyTails Why can't it be Christmas every month of the year? I vote we make it so! Not a romance reader but love the idea. 6y

TricksyTails PS You are not allowed to buy yourself anything for a while! At least anything with pictures. I've already ordered for our swap! 😜📚🎁 6y

TricksyTails I like the library book tote idea! Very much like the local/culture swap! Stationery! Pens! Notebooks! Socks! Coffee!! ALL THE THINGS! 6y

BookwormAHN Tea/coffee swap sounds cool also @BethM idea of a culture swap sounds awesome. 6y

Clwojick @TricksyTails actually laughed out loud. ALL THE THINGS! I say that all the time 6y

Clwojick @TricksyTails should I also stay away from the GN section at the library? 😜 6y

TricksyTails 😂 We have much in common! No, by all means enjoy the GN at the library so I can see the ones you really love! 😆👍 I wouldn't be THAT cruel to you and deprive you of that reading pleasure. Besides, how am I going to get my GN fix if you're not taking pictures for me? 😉 6y

Clwojick @TricksyTails lol @ you buying thing already! I might have been search for some goodies already too. 😏 6y

JPeterson What is this maple coffee? I feel like I must find some. Mmm. Sounds delicious. And I love the coffee/tea, tote, and bullet journal idea. I was also thinking I'd love to do a graphic novel/comic swap, and do a few of your favorite trades or a full volume. 6y

TricksyTails @JPeterson Right? Who do we need to know to send us some maple coffee? Also, if you hurry, I think @JenlovesJT47 is doing a #GeekyGraphicNovelSwap. Not sure if the deadline ended yet but go see! I think @Clwojick should do one too. Never too many graphic novels, right? 6y

MatchlessMarie @Clwojick Time to go write some ranty letters about why our libraries don‘t have book totes 😜 6y

TricksyTails 😂 Heh... I *might* have been buying things already! No shopping for you! (For yourself anyway 🙅🏻) 6y

Clwojick @MatchlessMarie do it!! Our library sells totes for $4 and they are fantastic 😏 6y

A_planNerd I'm literally fangirling over all these cute ideas. What about a mug swap? I can NEVER stop myself from purchasing funny/sparkly mugs. 6y

Avanders Wonderful idea!! 🤗I believe swaps that haven‘t been mentioned yet that I‘ve heard of are @MaleficentBookDragon ‘s #AllHallowsReadBookExchange and @mabell ‘s #LetsGetCozy... 6y

MaleficentBookDragon I plan on doing another #allhallowsreadbookexchange next year and I love the #letsgetcozy one. Also anything #hygge is fun. I also suggest a #GalentinesDay book swap. For those that do not watch Parks and Rec. It is Ladies Celebrating Ladies in Feb 13tj. We could do books by women only. 6y

jenniferw88 You've missed out on #booktoteswap hosted by @cobwebmoth! I was thinking about a #retellingswap, except this time doing retellings of classic books rather than fairytales. 6y

mabell So many fun ideas! #letsgetcozy hosted by @cobwebmoth was my first swap and I loved that theme. ( @Avanders I wish I could take credit for it! ☺️) 6y

JenlovesJT47 I was thinking of doing something around Valentine's Day but haven't decided on a theme. That might be a good time to do a chocolate themed swap. 🙃 6y

Avanders @mabell whoops! That‘s right! @cobwebmoth did both the #letsgetcozy and the #booktoteswap! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💖 Brain was too tired last night 😴 6y

Avanders @MaleficentBookDragon yay!! And love the galantines idea! 👏🏽♥️👏🏽 6y

rustoryhuf I love swaps and sad I missed the book tote. Just need to get on #Litsy more often. #galentines for the win! 6y

Natasha.C.Barnes I was also thinking about a bullet journal supply swap! Super fun idea. I'm loving the galentines swap idea as well--and there should totally be a summer one too, for vacay stuff/beach reads/road trip-themed gifts, etc. or like fun summer stuff you used to have fun with as a kid. A SUMMER READING PROGRAM-themed swap! Yes!! 6y

Natasha.C.Barnes I missed the hygge swap, let's get cozy and the retellings swap this year, but I am in for next year. Oh--and I'm also down to host one of the new swaps if that's needed! So long as people with more followers than I have signal boost the shit out of it. 😂 6y

Natasha.C.Barnes @MaleficentBookDragon Too bad you can't send waffles in the mail, amirite? 😂 I ❤️ parks and Rec, awesome idea. 6y

TamarackTrail Bujo supplies for sure!!!! 6y

Chelleo What about a crafting swap. It could cover multiple crafts like bullet journaling, knitting/crochet, scrapbooking. Just indicate your crafts in the sign up. I'd love to do a tshirt or wearables (shirts, socks, scarves,etc) swap. A beauty swap would be fun (makeup, soaps, lotions, hair accessories). 6y

Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance | Ruth Emmie Lang

#teaandbook

Just finished this #ARC. I wanted to finish earlier, but then, about half-way in, I wanted to savour the stories about the magical Weylyn Grey and the people in his life.

@ruthemmielang Well-written book. I love it.

monkeygirlsmama Are you drinking tea and coffee? 😏 7y

julesG @monkeygirlsmama No, my son photo-bombed with his mug of herbal tea. I had a run of the mill black with milk. - There have been occasions, though, when I used two mugs at the same time. 😉 7y

monkeygirlsmama @julesG 😉☕️ 7y

ruthemmielang Thanks!! 😀 7y
