Does anyone have any #kindleunlimited recommendations for me? My kindle is coming in the mail on Saturday, and I‘m excited to get reading! ☺️

rubyslippersreads If you like thrillers with a bit of romance, I‘ve been enjoying the Castleby series by J. M. Simpson. Not in the Litsy database, but the first one is Sea State. 4mo
rubyslippersreads Also, the British Library Women Writers series is available on KU. Congrats on your new Kindle! 4mo
Emilymdxn I know it's suuuper early but I wanted to ask if you've got plans to run scarathlon this year? I'm trying to plan out my life and reading a bit for when I get to come back to life after handing in my grad school dissertation. You must be so run off your feet this year so I didn't want to assume anything 🩷 4mo

I built a loose TBR at the beginning of the month, and I‘ve been doing a decent job of working my way through it… although I‘ve definitely been moody reading too. Since I always have to have one ear on the babe, I find that audiobooks aren‘t as convenient as they used to be, so I‘ve back gotten into using the #Kindle app. The tagged book was a #NetGalley book, and it was so good! 4.5⭐️

I‘m back! My little man is almost 3 months old already, and I‘m slowly getting back into reading again, so I figured it‘s time to jump back on the Litsy bandwagon to hopefully get some inspiration. 🥰

I‘m taking things super chill, so I probably won‘t be participating in any challenges any time soon, but I am going to put together a short TBR for July. 😊

When you‘re still in a reading slump four months later, but decide you want to read a little non-fiction, you pull anything off your shelf that looks remotely interesting and read bits of each of them until something catches your interest.

On a more personal note, I‘m officially done work now until October 2025! 😅 Three weeks until the little one is due, so I‘m just trying to keep busy while trying to rest and relax. ❤️

Suet624 October 2025. You must live in a more civilized nation than the US. (edited) 8mo

Hey! Just checking in to let everyone know all is well! Just haven‘t been doing any reading at all - my minimal brain power and energy has been put towards nesting and getting ready for baby Benjamin.💙

Time is such a crazy thing. I‘ve been pregnant for three seasons, but yet it feels like no time at all, and also not soon enough until we meet him.😊

I‘ve been working on building up his little library, with my favourite book being Pig the Pug.🐶

Clwojick @iamcourtneyb Most of my go-tot‘s were childhood favourites like Robert Munsch, Little Critters, Clifford, Berenstain Bears,Franklin, Arthur etc. But some newer gems I‘ve found include the Pig the Pug series, Pug and Chick, anything by Sandra Boynton, and then anything Holiday themed! (Christopher Pumpkin is a Halloween gem!) I LOVE the “How Do Dinosaurs…” series, but I haven‘t purchased any yet. ☺️ 10mo

Jari-chan This is just too cute🥰 the cats of a friend of mine never left her side when she was pregnant 😻 12mo

Lizpixie He probably was the first to hear Benjamin‘s heartbeat! A boy needs a dog, they‘ll be great buddies guaranteed. My grandson Jaxon(who lives with us)is inseparable with Ruby Tuesday, our boxer. It‘s so cute to see them digging up rocks in the garden & chasing each other around the backyard🐶🏃🏼 12mo
Clwojick @Lizpixie I‘m sure they‘ll get into tons of trouble together! ❤️ 12mo

Kind of hard to see, but just a reminder that GoogleBooks makes it really easy to go back and double check your #WGWordSearch points. You search a book, and then type each word into the “search in this book” bar. It will show you how many times that word was said.

Not every book is available to preview, but I‘ve had a lot of luck with previous years. Kindle Unlimited is another way to search too! #WinterGamesTips

BookwormAHN Thanks for the reminder 🤍 12mo

Clwojick @TEArificbooks I finished it while at work! It was good for a cozy mystery. Nothing super suspenseful, but better than many I‘ve read. I might be slightly impartial since I loved all the little Pug bits in there. 😊 12mo

I‘ve been anxiously awaiting the halfway mark before I shared the good news with my Litsy Family. I‘m so excited to announce that we‘re expecting our first child, a boy, in April 2024. ❤️ I am beyond thrilled, but also exhausted, so don‘t be surprised if I‘m not posting as much as usual. 😅

Those of you who know me, and all my planning ways, will not be surprised to hear I‘ve already started collecting books for little Benjamin‘s library. ❤️

TieDyeDude 😍🤱 12mo
Clwojick I‘m definitely on the lookout for more book ideas, so if anyone has any suggestions for me to check out or add to my wishlist, please let me know! I‘ve been thrifting some books over the last few months, but it‘s mostly favourites from my childhood like Dr. Seuss, Clifford, Little Critters, and Arthur. ❤️ 12mo
Gissy Congratulations!!! 🤱🏻Don‘t worry, rest now, as much as you need to...because those first months will be “different” in your sleeping pattern😉but with love ❤️ 12mo

Texreader What news!!!! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing with us this amazing news!! My son‘s favorite books were pop-up books and books with big colorful photos of animals. He loved pretending to be a gorilla! Babies are precious and sharing books with them is the best!! I started day one and 20 years later I‘d say it was a huge factor in their successes so far. 12mo
Cupcake12 This is amazing news ❤️💕 12mo
Texreader In fact 17 year old son, who‘s nostalgic, recently was organizing his bookshelves and came to show me one of his childhood faves called “Bluebird‘s Nest.” Not to give away. Just to let me know he still has it and cherishes it. It‘s awesome, with yarn that literally builds the nest as you turn the pages. 12mo
Clwojick @Texreader Awe! I‘ll have to look that one up! Hopefully my library has it. ❤️ 12mo

sebrittainclark That is an inspiring level of organization! 12mo
Clwojick @LiseWorks we‘ll still try to post the monthly boards, but I know I have a busy year coming up so we wanted to get it all set up in case we couldn‘t post in time. ☺️ 12mo
LiseWorks @Clwojick I understand! I have them all copied on my phone. I think maybe this year I will try to finish them even if it's way after the month lol. I find I'm more of a mood reader than reading books with bingo promps lol 12mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Hoping to get the StoryGraph aspect organized over the next couple weeks - I'll post when I do!! 12mo

LocalTXLibrarian how does ispy bingo work? do i look for the prompts on book covers or the prompts in the text in the book? i‘m looking for challenges to do in 2024 and i‘m curious about this one. ☺️ 12mo
Clwojick @LocalTXLibrarian We‘re pretty lax with the rules, but the general idea is to find the word in the title, or the item on the cover/spine/back cover of the book. We‘ve been doing it in 2023, so feel free to check the #ISpyBingo tag for inspiration! (edited) 12mo
LocalTXLibrarian @Clwojick thanks for the clarification! ☺️ 12mo
Clwojick @LocalTXLibrarian we also have a storygraph challenge, so I‘ll check on there if I‘m stuck for which book to use for a certain prompt! 😜 https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/265c3ab9-c799-4d41-857c-d991e83... 12mo

Hey everyone! We‘re happy to announce we have some changes for next years #BacklistReadathon challenge ☺️ Take your time to see what option works best for you, and be sure to tag us in your 2024 planning!

ChaoticMissAdventures @GHABI4ROSES blacklist are books by authors that have been out for awhile (usually anything more that a year or two old). It is a publishing term where they move the authors order work to the "back" and their new stuff to the marketing "front" 12mo
TheBookHippie Let the planning begin 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 12mo
TheAromaofBooks Woot woot!!! 12mo
Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES Looks another great challenge to get those reading lists down. Think I‘d go with option two as allows more variability and can still focus on an author a month with that option should we want to at any time. @DieAReader (edited) 12mo
DieAReader @Andrew65 I agree! Count me in @Clwojick 🤓❤️‍🔥 Another perfect excuse to read @GHABI4ROSES 😉📚 12mo

GHABI4ROSES @ChaoticMissAdventures oh that is fantastic. I will look at some tags as examples, they will now make sense! 12mo
GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65 Yup on Option 2! I wonder if my Stephen King list qualifies. That intersects with #LosersClubForever. Yes I am in it @DieAReader @Clwojick cus I always want an excuse to read! 12mo
Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES Stephen King list definitely fits. 12mo
GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65 You and @DieAReader know me with my Steve. I still have not received anything on #WinterGames2023 @Clwojick so it may be an operator error on my end! 12mo
