Hi folks, I wanted to see if any Litsy people are interested in starting up a #litsygoespostal group specifically focussed on queer and trans books? If you're interested let me know in the comments and/or email me at bibliogeekery@gmail.com. I'd also love some insight on how to organize one of these groups as I've not done one ( @MrBook @BookishFeminist @Soubhiville etc). #queerbooks #transbooks
GirlMeetsBook This is a great idea! Best of luck (I'm already a organizer of a LPG group)! 😄 7y

Bibliogeekery @GirlMeetsBook cool, can you give me a little insight on how to organize one? 7y

kgriffith Heck yeah! I may be unreliably involved, particularly once next semester starts, but I'll try! 7y
Bloomingjen I would love to participate. 7y
Soubhiville Sure! I'm just starting a new round of a postal group. If you'll give me your email I'll send you the letter I've been sending out to everyone today. Or email me- magicbelly@gmail.com 7y
Kat_Reads I'd love to join!!! 7y
MrBook 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻!!! Wow! This is a phenomenal idea, @Bibliogeekery 😎👍🏻👍🏻!!! If you'd like your group to be a part of the #LitsyGoesPostal enterprise, you would be our #1stLGBTQEdition! What do you think? If you want to, great; if you don't want to, great 😂. And I'll be more than happy to help in any way I can ☺️👍🏻. My email is jasonvigorito at gmail. 7y
MrBook Or however you would want to name your 1st Edition 😜, lol. It was the first thing that came to mind to me. 7y
Bibliogeekery @MrBook would love to be a part of the "enterprise" ? of enough people are interested. How many people are best for one of these groups? 7y
WhatDeeReads Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm in. Where do I sign up? Let's do this! 7y
Joybishoptx I would love it. Would it be ok to include YA LGBTIA books too? 7y
readordierachel Yep! 7y
Bibliogeekery @Joybishoptx absolutely! My favourite kind! 7y
Joybishoptx Yay! I'm so excited! What a great idea! 7y

SpiderCrafts I've just started using Litsy, gladly finding your post 😊 I'm very looking forward to joining and contributing! 7y
GirlMeetsBook @Bibliogeekery @MrBook has it basically down to a science! Once you've got people interested and get some info from them, I think making a google doc or excel spreadsheet of people is helpful. I think that deciding shipping order was most difficult and my fabulous partner @andreadmw did that with ease. She might have tips! I wouldn't call myself an expert by any stretch but I've usually got an opinion of you ever want one. 😂👍🏼 7y
Peddler410 @Bibliogeekery I'm not able to join your postal group right now -- already committed to two ( #litsygoespostalog and LGP Jr. ) but I am interested in finding more #lgbtq YA recommendations (edited) 7y
