I've been alerted by @HappyLitsyversary (thanks!) that today is my 4th Litsy Anniversary. I haven't been too active in a while, but I'm hoping to change that soon. I recently moved so here's a picture of some of my new bookshelves!

First read for #OwlCrateAThon finished!
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Riveting Viking adventure

My #TBR for #OwlCrateAThon #readathon is a bit ambitious, but I have plenty of catch-up reading to do.
.

?#ReadingChallenges:
.
.
? "Of Fire & Stars" is the unread #OwlCrate book I've had the longest
.
.
?"Sleepy Hallow," which was a bonus book from a past box, is the shortest unread Owl Crate book I have.

Let's see how many of these I can read in two weeks

Epic, Boxing Day sale #bookhaul from #BookOutlet! They have the best sales and best rewards program! I went crazy with the graphic novels, but the prices were soooo good!

If you haven't tried Book Outlet and want to, you can get $5 off your first purchase of $25 with this link: https://goo.gl/Nqe8gA

I've started this many times. It is dense and thought-provoking. I'm going to try to get all the way through this time

I've been in the worst reading slump so I'm diving into some graphic novels to try to shake it. I found this one at the Dollar Tree, which is a crazy good deal!

For any MetroDetroit #MittenLittens, come out to SterlingFest and support over 50 local authors! TOMORROW SATURDAY JULY 28 from 10-40pm!

@CrowCAH and I each have a poem and short story in the tagged anthology!

There is no way I'll get to all of these during the #BuzzwordReadathon this week, but these are the books I have that fit the prompt: Books with "girl" in the title. Any recommendations for which ones I should prioritize?

Book haul from a writing conference I went to a couple weeks ago!

I heard this poet read last week. She was incredible. Tonight, I'm listening to the rain, reading her poetry and enjoying some treats

Continuing with my #WomensHistoryMonth blogging project, meet Lorraine Hansberry, journalist, activist and writer of A Raisin in the Sun: http://bit.ly/whm18LHansberry

I read this a few years ago. It introduced me to some amazing female writers. Today, I wrote about one of them for my #WomensHistoryMonth blog project: http://bit.ly/whm18NeithBoyce

Finally starting Ready Player One since the movie comes out in March.

Thanks to @CrowCAH for the tag!

2. I'm trying to use bookmarks. I often use what's nearby.
3. Depends on the book
4. Sometimes
5. Usually music
6. Several, always several
7. Everywhere
8. Usually silently, but I'll stop and read amazing parts out loud to myself.
9. No
10. Keep it like new
11. No, but I'll use sticky notes

I'm cleaning off my bookshelves. I got rid of 26 books. 2nd and Charles bought 11 of them so I grabbed this with my newly acquired store credit!

#NaNoWriMo ate my November so I never posted an October book haul. Here is a combined October/November #BookHaul with new books on the left and used finds (one courtesy of @CrowCAH) on the right. I want to read them all right now at the same time 📚

That was down to the wire, but I finished with 50,064 words and 22 minutes to spare! #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2017

Maybe now I'll have some time to post on here. (I really didn't mean to vanish for a month).

@Crowcah and I are seeing The Mountain Goats tonight!!

I can't say thank you enough!!! @CareBear, you put together an amazing & perfect box. It's so cool that your husband is Armenian like me! The Armenian flag notebook is my new favorite thing! I can't wait to read all these books! I adore skulls so I'll be using all the skull stuff all year! Thank you for the time and care you put into this! I'm so grateful!!! 😊🎃🍁💀

#HalloweenGoesPostal #FallBookExchange

It's finally time! Look at the adorable washi tape wrapping @CareBear did for these gifts!! I love it 💜

How can you not love (and desperately miss) Carrie Fisher?!

I'd seen most of these online, but I still enjoyed the collection a lot. I need prints of several of these.

Loved this! Reading this confirmed just how much I love Becky Albertelli's writing style. Her characters really sparkle too. Read this.

Funny, odd, unique. Overall I really enjoyed this. There were moments I didn't connect with, but they were outnumbered by high points.

This is the second Holly Black book I've read. I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to reading more! This is a great atmospheric read for fall.

I listened to this audiobook. I really enjoyed it. I especially liked her exploration of being a woman on the internet and in comedy.

It's here!! (It actually came while I was out of town this weekend!) I cannot wait to open it. Thank you so much @CareBear!!! #halloweengoespostal #fallbookexchange

I finished my 50 book goal early for the Goodreads 2017 Reading Challenge!

When your favorite band shows up in the book you're reading!

I can't say enough good things about this first installment. I need more!

This graphic memoir chronicles growing up, traveling, grieving and finding one's place. I really enjoyed it.

@ChrisBohjalian gave an excellent talk tonight! Afterwards he signed my books even writing a greeting phonetically in Armenian for me! He was vibrant, interesting, generous and wonderful to talk to afterwards. If you ever get the chance to hear him speak, take it.

Tonight I'm at an Evening with @ChrisBohjalian (who is #Armenian like me!) #authorevent

I connected deeply with this book. It deals so beautifully with mental illness and grief. It feels very personal, very visceral, very honest and very hopeful.

My #BookOutlet sale order came today! It's been a good day for #BookMail!! #bookhaul

It's here!

My #HalloweenGoesPostal gifts are all wrapped! (I couldn't find spooky wrapping paper so I made my own). It will be a few days until I can get to the post office but they will be on their way soon! #FallBookExchange
