Slowly, slooooowly getting back into reading
I'm halfway through Sublet Knife now! And it's getting quite exciting
I just wish I had more time and mental energy for reading...

Always traveling, always traveling...
Going at a friend's house to have Shabbat dinner with her. I'll sleep there and then tomorrow we'll go to services together
In the train, I try to do a bit of reading :)
Waiting at the dentist
What better way to spend the time?
1. Contemporary, I'd say. Or medieval
2. I finished The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman (a re-read!)
3. I'd say it's the books from the Wheel of Time series (which I need to finish AHAH)
Thanks to @Eggs for hosting!!!

Hello!
I just wanted to say to the #litsylove fam: I'm sorry I fell so behind with answering letters. Misty is aware I was (and am) having a rough time. Nevertheless, I am starting to write letters again, and will go to the post office in the next few days to send them off.
I'll first answer to the ones that sent me letters so far, and then will see of writing to people I've never interacted with in the exchange, so I can meet new peeps! 😊
Started reading/studying another book today, for an exam.
I had started it ages ago, then abandoned it, so here I am again.
This is a book about the "birth" of the Book
#booksaboutbooks #nonfiction
I actually finished this book this morning xD sorry for the not to artistic photo. One day, I'll learn.
It's a nonfiction book about the history of Print and Books and how it all affected culture in Europe. I thought it was very well-written and interesting, and easy to understand. I also think that, despite the text being very short, it had s lot of information that helped contextualize the situation at that time.
4/5

Sometimes one also gotta study...
I'm reading/studying a book on the history of Print and Books in Europe for my next uni exam. It's quite interesting
#nonfiction #booksaboutbooks
This was a re-read for me, and the first book I finished after over a year of not reading. I'm glad I managed to do it.
I still love the story very much, I think Pullman did an amazing job. He's a great writer, and the characters are complex and interesting. It's truly a classic of #fantasy
Wanted to do it yesterday but didn't have the time
1. Participated in a fanfic bang and wrote my longest fic so far. I'm an active member of my Jewish youth group. I worked on my art skills. I help other fanfic writers on a server. I am still here.
2. Finish at least 2/3 of uni exams left & Finish 2 fics

Update: I managed to read all of part 1! Starting part 2. Perhaps my reading slump is gone
#fantasy #rereading #currentlyreading
Since I'm getting back into reading slowly, but many things have changed, I made a new Goodreads account. Hit me up if you wanna be friends https://www.goodreads.com/arthurgdean
Hiii
I'm aware I disappeared for months. Life got in the way, and so did depression. I haven't touched a book in a long ass while.
I decided to gently coax myself into reading again by re-reading one of my childhood faves: The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. I'm currently reading chapter 3
Here's my #BookSpinBingo !
My #bookspin for December is Artic Nation, the second installment in the Blacksad series. My #doublespin is Di Metallo e di Stelle by Luca Tarenzi :)
@TheAromaofBooks
To get back into reading, I am going to participate in the #WinterReadathon !!
My goal is just to get back into reading, really... ^^; I haven't finished anything in months.
@Andrew65 @GHABI$ROSES @DieAReader
List is ready, and the squares are just waiting for the bingo!!!!
I hope to get back into reading this month :)
#bookspin #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks
Let's try to start reading again... Shall we?
How's everyone been doing in my absence?
Just an update - I an alive. I will try to get back into reading in October... I am just having a hard time.
Meanwhile, I got two #litsylove letters (one arrived today!) I'm so happy to hear from you all 💚
And here we go! Have you finished this book? Talk about it below
@PageShifter @PuddleJumper @ozma.of.oz @BkClubCare @MoonWitch94 @kaysworld1 @TheBookWitchON @Kenyazero @AbigailJaneBlog @Nutmegnc @BookwormAHN and anyone who's participating!
#litsylgbtbookclub #lgbtbookclub
I'm being literally so busy :/ it's not even funny.
Still reading Gideon. How's your reading going?
@PageShifter @PuddleJumper @ozma.of.oz @BkClubCare @MoonWitch94 @kaysworld1 @TheBookWitchON @Kenyazero @AbigailJaneBlog @Nutmegnc @BookwormAHN and anyone who's participating!
Time for our first discussion!!!
So, if I checked the comments correctly, we've come to this conclusion: we'll read Gideon the Ninth in August! Here are the dates!!

So, for August's pick, we kind of have a problem: two books (Gideon the Ninth and This is How you Lose the Time War) have the same votes. I'm asking you to decide between these two books. I also want to talk about the last thing someone wrote. I explicitly asked you to propose books if you didn't find any of your likings, and I'm doing this alone. Furthermore, half of those books are not YA and neither were the ones from last time.
Slowly getting back into the order of things!
This month, I already sent out two #litsylove letters - I have still one to answer to, but I'd love to know more members so I'll try to write more than that.
In July, I read absolutely nothing! I hope in August I'll read some books... Anyway, how's everyone?
I'm so sorry for the delay with this - I got really sick and had a fever, and I couldn't do much at all because everything hurt. Luckily, it wasn't Covid. Anyway, here's our last talk for “Read Between the Lines“ by Rachel Lacey. Tell us everything on your mind regarding this book
Unfortunately, the post for today's discussion will be made tomorrow.
I've been sick all day and I can't do much at all :(
Hello! Sorry I'm late, but this month is being terrible to me! Anyway, here's the form to pick the book we're going to read in August: https://forms.gle/5KoGrgZtkmmHkYBS6
As always, there is an “other“ option. If you choose that one, please comment with the book you'd like to read!
@litsyevents
Hello! I'm sorry for the delay, but here's the first check-in for our #LGBTBookClub July pick, which was Read Between the Lines by Rachel Lacey. We had to read until chapter 13.
Here are the questions, but feel free to talk about anything else that caught your eye during your reading (tag your spoilers!!!)
Again, I am so sorry for being late, life got the best of me :)
@LitsyEvents
Hello, just a general update!!! I'm not dead, just been really really busy with exams 🙃 I'm still reading a lot of books. How's everyone? I'm just now finding the time to answer to the many people who sent me #litsylove letters.cim so grateful to all of you!!!
Here's my picks for @aperfectmjk 's #trappedonanisland challenge for the month of July! I hope you find something you like among these :D
I made a new list for #bookspin July and these are my bookspin and #doublespin books.
I really hope to get them this month!
@thearomaofbooks
Sorry for the inactivity, I haven't been reading, just studying.
Anyway, happy July. As of this month, I'm joining the #roll100 challenge and these are the books that got the lucky draw!
Anyone else participating?
@puddlejumper
@LitsyEvents
Thank you all for voting! The winner for the first #LGBTbookclub has been chosen with a slim win. We will read Red Between the Lines by Rachel Lacey.
We will discuss the first part of the book (till the end of chapter 13) on July 15. Then we will read till the end and discuss it on 31/07.
The form for August's pick will open on 20/07
Here's my #bookreport for last week and #weeklyforecast for this week. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish all four books 🙄 but I think it'll be hard.
I finished two books for an exam that was nullified after I took it because according to them some people cheated. I also finished and reviewed Since Sinai.
I'm reading La banalità del bene, L'amore nell'ebraismo, and True Biz. Will start A History of Herbalism soon
@Cinfhen
Yesterday i didn't read much...
So far for #20in4 I've read 3h36min. This readathon is going badly lol
Oh, well. I'm so tired all the time and stressed, It's no surprise
@Andrew65
I won't be able to read any of the other books I put in my #bookspinbingo for June (and that includes my #bookspin and #doublespin) because I got arcs that have a priority for the month... I so hope July goes better :/
How is your bingo going?
@TheAromaofBooks
Italian review on my blog: https://worldofinterestsblogger.wordpress.com/2022/06/25/libri-since-sinai-shann...
In Since Sinai, Shannon Gonyou exposes herself, telling us of her experience with Judaism and Conversion, as well as her past as a Catholic and her life before and after becoming a Jew. Shannon Gonyou converted with her husband Travis, on a complex but extremely fulfilling path.
⬇
It's almost midnight for me, so it ends my first day of #20in4 #readathon !
I finished Since Sinai by Shannon Gonyou, which I'll review tomorrow.
I started reading/studying Storia Sociale dell'antica Grecia by Fritz Gschnitzer and I kept reading True Biz by Sara Novic.
I also read for 2h19mins so I'm behind schedule. Oh well.
@Andrew65
@LitsyEvents
Just a reminder that we're choosing the book to read! IT'S TIME TO VOTE, VOTE, VOTE! 😃 So far we have 9 votes! https://forms.gle/Mt4zXXRf34WaBkpcA
Anyone is welcome to participate.
Form will close on the 26 of June, and then I'll announce the book and make a schedule ☺️

We're already at the end of the month... I can't believe it. I haven't read as much as I wanted to, and I'm a bit behind on schedule. Maybe participating in #20in4 #readathon will help! My goal is to read for 20 hours in 4 days, and hopefully finish the tagged book and another two.
Thank you to @Andrew65 for hosting!!
So far I've read 9/12 books I had decided to read for the #bigjunereadathon @Clwojick
This book was interesting, sort of, but slow paced and full of laws that I'll never remember lmao. Exam is tomorrow!!!
@BookNAround @catiewithac I got your letters!!! Thank you so so much, it was so kind of you.
I'll answer as soon as possible 💚💚💚

@LitsyEvents
So, I saw people are interested! I'd like to make a #bookclub and discuss the books we read, and I'd like to start in July.
Here's the form to choose the book for July: https://forms.gle/z4uygZpU57ioMpQ19
There's an option to give your input with a book: comment down here if you want to read a book other than the ones I proposed. Form will close on the 25th.
I hope I'm doing this right, it's the first time I do it.
On my blog today you cn find some of the LGBTQ+ books on my #tbr
they're all in English, so you can understand the post no problem

@LitsyEvents
Would anyone be interested in a monthly #buddyread or a #bookclub with discussion about #lgbtq books? I lean toward f/f or enby rep but we could all decide a book together and read it together!
I have a list of books on my TBR I'd like to get to, and if you do too, maybe we can work something out :D
"I understand the urge to question converts. I do. But the answers to these questions are extremely personal and not prone to quick response. I usually end up mumbling something about "just wanting to" and changing the subject."

This is my update for the last day of #joysofjunereadathon
✅ I've read for 26h05 out of my goal of 20 hours
✅ Read 4/4 books (I finished Fuori dal Silenzio)
✅ Wrote 2/2 reviews
I really enjoyed the experience and can't wait for the next one! Goodnight!
