"#Freeyourmind, and the rest will follow... " ?? I read Outlaw Culture in my twenties & it made me feel like my mind was being switched on for the first time?

A big thank you to all of you who joined in for #FierceFeb! I wish I could give you all a hug. I know a lot of us are introverts here, so ? I loved seeing all of your posts! I had so much fun & I hope you did, too ? @Cinfhen was right, you made my TBR explode ??

Cathythoughts 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 7y

RohitSawant I need to read this! I saw a vid where she was in conversation with Hari Kondabolu awhile back & absolutely loved it. Feb was indeed fierce & fun 🤘🏼💜 7y
Cathythoughts An extrovert friend of mine is trying to teach me the hug , I never know whether to put my arms up or down 😂. I‘m starting to get the hang of it .... @CarolynM (edited) 7y
batsy @rohit-sawant Thank you! 😊 You guys made it a blast. And I need to go watch this video, she is awesome!! 7y
erzascarletbookgasm I‘ll send you a virtual hug 😂. I still do the social hug/kiss awkwardly and not properly @Cathythoughts , 🤷‍♀️. Great playlist, @batsy , great month and you‘ve raised the bar high. 😊 7y
CarolynM @Cathythoughts keep practising! 7y
batsy Thank you @erzascarletbookgasm you guys are the best 💜 I gotta say the leaning in for a social kiss on the cheek thing is very perplexing, much stress about timing 😂 7y
Cinfhen Such a great month~ you were awesome 😎 so glad you agreed to cohost💕💕 7y
Cinfhen Now I NEED @Reggie @rohit-sawant to join me....🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 7y

Centique Thank you so much for this month @batsy @Cinfhen Sorry I disappeared for a few days! @Cathythoughts I hear you about hugs my friend! I needed lessons too - I couldn‘t figure out how you know when to stop 😂😂😂 7y
batsy Thank you @Centique for playing, your posts were fab ❤️ And nothing to apologise for at all, this is meant to be fun and low key 😎 Timing is crucial in these social huggy-kissy situations, isn't it 😂 7y
rubyslippersreads Best part of Litsy for introverts—virtual hugs! 😄 #FierceFeb was fun! 7y

Thanks for the tag @Moray_Reads! My #5fordinner, all rebels in their own way: Mary Shelley, Anne Brontë, bell hooks, Angela Carter, & Arundhati Roy. This could be the best meal ever or a disaster. Someone will be running to the bathroom to take deep breaths, in addition to monopolising the wine bottle(s). (Me)

If you feel like playing, @Leftcoastzen @Billypar @BarbaraBB @Lindy @Izai.Amorim and anyone else, would love to see yours ☺️

Cathythoughts Sounds great ! I think a good supply of wine will be essential for all these interesting dinner parties soon to take place on Litsy. The selfies ( group selfies) will be especially interesting 😉 (edited) 8y
batsy @Cathythoughts Hahaha, I forgot about the selfies! Ideally blurry ones, indicating we're all having too much of a good time 😉 8y
Cathythoughts Yes! And we will have to wake some people up ( who have been asleep or in some other realm). That's ok. 😊 8y

JoeStalksBeck Oh I could see mine either being the most intellectual dinner ever or someone is going to jail 😂 8y
BarbaraBB Great play. I‘ll think of my dinner guests! 8y
saresmoore Ahaha! Love this. I imagine Mary Shelley playing devil‘s advocate just to provoke Arundhati Roy. 8y
Izai.Amorim Thanks for tagging me. I'll do my best. 8y
Kalalalatja If there's enough wine, then I would love being a part of this dinner party 😄🍷🍷 8y
batsy @JoeStalksBeck Signs of a great party 😁 8y
batsy @saresmoore And I think Angela Carter would have fun provoking everyone 😈 8y
batsy @Kalalalatja I am having this at my imaginary Gothic castle summer home in Europe that has an entire cellar of essential wines and spirits. You are more than welcome, there will be plenty 😁 8y
Kalalalatja Count me in! Castles, wine and authors provoking each other - what more could you want! 😂 8y
Ms_T A ladies night! Great choices 👍🏻 8y
LeahBergen I'm coming over! 😉 8y
diovival Oops! Ignore my super late tag. Those party sounds awesome though. 😂 8y
batsy @Ms_T I know, I forgot about the men! 😁 *throws another dinner party* 8y
batsy @LeahBergen you definitely should 😘 8y
readordierachel What a dinner this would be! Great choices! 8y
batsy @ReadOrDieRachel Thanks ☺️ It's so fun dreaming these up, eh 😉 8y
