The Book of Questions: Business, Politics and Ethics | Gregory Stock

Time for the bookish discussion question of the day 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Here it is: ☝🏻. Also, which Littens has this happened with for you? 😁 #BookTalk

LibrarianRyan It's always the not so popular books. Something like Artemis Fowl (even though now with a movie...) or Red Rising, or Illuminae. Not a book like HP or PErcu Jackson that have been read or known about by even people who didn't read the book or watch the movies. 6y

EchoLogical @LibrarianRyan Red Rising and Illuminae?! Did we just become best friends? LoL. I'm obsessed with both. I almost named my son Darrow. 😂 6y

Yellowpigeon @EchoLogical I think it totally counts. 😉 6y

EchoLogical @Yellowpigeon I erased it because I wasn't sure. 😂 6y

Jgotham Harry Potter 6y

Nuwanda A Little Life and House of Leaves! 6y

LibrarianRyan @EchoLogical maybe? I hyped Red Rising when it came out so hard. I couldn't shut up about it. There is even a bad you tube video of me recommending it for my last library. And I read Illuminae after getting Gemina and meeting Jay and Amie at BEA. Such a good series. I hope there is a spin off. I need more Aiden. 6y

EchoLogical @LibrarianRyan I finally read Iron Gold a few weeks ago and I'm shook. I'll have to scour the dregs of YouTube and watch this video you speak of. LoL. Have you read Obsidio yet? 6y

revenge4porgy Possibly. Although, at this point I‘m taking book recommendations from my nephews, Amulet, et al. I‘m also reading Murder in the Manuscript Room, and just started reading Richard Cornwall‘s newest 📖. 6y

LibrarianRyan @EchoLogical yeah. Had to get it on release day. Slept with it for two days. 6y

LittlePixels @nuwanda A Little Life! I loooooved that book, but can almost never recommend it to anyone because of the subject matter. "Hey, this book will rip your guts into a million tiny little pieces, but you should totally read it because it's awesome!" ?? 6y

SilversReviews Shadow of the Wind....LOVED that book. 6y

BookBabe Yup!! 😁💓

The Gum Thief: A Novel | Douglas Coupland

I track my reading on my own spreadsheets (yes, plural 😐), but today I got the email saying I was behind on my reading challenge numbers. So I spite-typed all my books in for the past 2 months. And then this started happening. Goodreads nooooooo. #whyilovelitsy

WhatDeeReads I don't get those. Maybe you can adjust your notification settings. 7y

LectricSheep @Lucky_LaDee I hope so! 7y

Notafraidofwords It's really annoying. 7y

LeahBergen And that email comes in IMMEDIATELY after you update on Goodreads. 🙄 7y

OrangeMooseReads Those emails are annoying. I know what I just finished reading. Ugh! 7y

melrailey I don't like that email either! 7y

tricours It's a new thing though? I've never opened them, but I guess it's a try to push similar books or something like that... 7y

LectricSheep @tricours I didn't open them either! ?I have absolutely no idea what they're going for. It might be a cool idea if they sent these emails out like...after a varied amount of time: "this time last month, you'd just finished [title]" and then a quotation from the book that you underlined or one that's popular? 7y

elkeOriginal Someone mentioned these are new in the settings so check there to turn off! I don't think anyone likes this. Super annoying & what is their point? 7y

MicheleinPhilly You can turn them off in your settings. There's also an "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email. 7y

LectricSheep @MicheleinPhilly @elkeo oh yes please. Thanks guys. 👍🏻 7y

BookFreakOut Those are super annoying! And then they're like "write a review!" And I want to say "I would if you would just give me 5 minutes!" 7y

MicheleinPhilly Anytime. I got one and started investigating mighty quick. 😒 7y

LectricSheep @BookFreakOut ?You're better than me. I'm like "nope, I'm just here for the end-of-year stats. Leave me alone until December." 7y

elkeOriginal I do love that you 'spite typed'. Take THAT! 7y

LectricSheep @elkeo we've all done it! 😅 7y

Sarahreadstoomuch Really hating Goodreads latest ploy to send emails to those of us who opted out of all emails. 7y

moranadatter I swear I had my email settings on Goodreads set to never send me email and I started getting those. 7y

Zelma @LectricSheep 😂 that is how I feel too. I immediately unsubscribe don't when I got that email. No thanks! 7y

Jinjer Spite typing!!!! I can imagine the "so there!!!" key punching!? 7y

Another installment of #footnotegeek in which #DavidCopperfield encounters red tape and we learn that it wasn't even really 'tape'!😲

Bookworm83 Litsy is the only place where my love of footnotes is understood 😍 7y

KVanRead @Bookworm83 Yay Litsy! Glad I'm not alone 😂 7y

drokka Its tape just not adhesive like what we commonly use today, but you still buy the kind of tape referred to in a fabric shop. 7y

KVanRead @drokka huh! Good to know. Thanks for explaining that!#whyILoveLitsy 7y
