Wow! I've gone over 200,000 Litsy points!
To celebrate, I'd like to host a giveaway for a book on your TBR (plus a little book merch) if you post (by 4/24) a mood board of where you are in life. Good, bad, a combo--wherever you are! Be sure to include the hashtag #moodboardcontest/#mbc and tag me @dabbe.

I was invited to be part of this podcast in Singapore where we talked about book clubs. Naturally, I mentioned the Litsy community, including #CampLitsy24 which is now #CampLitsy25, the #EuropaCollective and a few other book clubs I am a part of. I am only in the first seven minutes. Happy listening!

This is very low key—no tag list, so feel free to participate how often you would like. I am reading one nonfiction a month that looks beyond the history found in schools.
If you would like to participate, post your book and thoughts each month, using #RealHistory and/or #HonestHistory . I‘ll make a bibliography for those interested.

If you‘d like to donate to give my Daytonators a book of their choice, this is how I want to spend my birthday. My goal as a reading teacher besides standards is to encourage reading for pleasure through choice. If you donate as little as $1 I will knit you a beautiful bookmark & send it to you. WIN-WIN-WIN Please share. #Tammyturns50

Hello Shardlakians! Hope everybody is enjoying HEARTSONE. I‘m finding it hard to stop reading!
Our next discussion will be this Monday 31/3, over chapters 1-26. Have a fabulous weekend! 🤩
Just wanted to put this out to those who are participating (or thinking of) - is there a particular genre you'd like to read next and if you like voting on the next pick or would rather I just pick one book? I'm happy to go any way - want to pick books that people are interested in reading! I was thinking another historical fiction for the next read and then maybe something lighter in the summer. Always love hearing from you all 😊!
