Welcome to Litsy!

Listening to the audiobook of The Three Body Problem for #LitsySciFiBookClub, reading Snow Crash for #ClassicLSFBC and reading Burning Chrome just for myself. 😂

UFO as an ebook

#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

Since I'm not working, I have more time to read (at least in theory). I hope to finish The Sheriff of Yrnameer and Swamp Thing Vol. 1 this weekend. I need to get started on The Man Who Fell to Earth for #LitsySciFiBookClub.
#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

Well, just decided to DNF Mirrorland, at least for now. Can't get into the writing style. After two weeks now I am still just 60 pages in. But I tried, right? This one is also my #Doublespin of February @TheAromaofBooks

The middle one is Beneath the Moon, a beautifully illustrated fairy tale/myth collection.

The Perfect Friend is a #Netgalley ARC and my #TwinPeaksReadingChallenge #TPRC choice for The Double R.

#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

A mix of historical mystery, a bit of paranormal, and the last part of some densely philosophical science fiction. I should have had The Dispossessed finished by now, but the audiobook about Rudolf Diesel has been really good and hard to set aside.
#ClassicLSFBC

Reading More Than Human for #ClassicLSFBC. I should have it finished this weekend.
Reading Blasphemy and System Collapse for #SeriesLove2023
#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

Although I'm working all weekend, I am putting aside time to work on these three books. The Combat Codes on audio, the other two in print.
#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

These are the books currently in progress heading into the weekend, but let‘s be honest. I‘m probably only going to touch the three on the bottom. Maybe I‘ll pick up the audio of Little Drummer Girl to try to make headway there, but I haven‘t decided. #weekendreading

#WeekendReading #FabulousFebruary #BookNookBuddies2022 #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo #ReadMyRoom #PenniesPerPage2022

Streamlined my TBR for this weekend in hopes of helping me focus better. As always though, there‘s always room for #ImpulseReads if my brain needs a break🤓😉

Happy reading weekend everyone (yes, yes, I know😁I‘m starting early but I didn‘t figure anyone would mind😂🤷🏻‍♀️🤓). Cheers🥂to @Andrew65 for this wonderful weekend event!♥️♥️

#WeekendReading #BookNookBuddies2022 #ReadMyRoom #Swoonathon #SeriesRead2022 #BookSpinBingo

TGIF it‘s finally Friday. I‘m looking forward to lots of reading & less negativity from those outside my household.

This is my weekend TBR stack. I‘ve just recently started ‘Open‘, barely started ‘Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee‘ & both ‘Baby Teeth‘ (#BookSpin) & ‘Baby, Come Home‘ are fresh & ready to be “cracked open” (not literally😳 so we‘re clear😉)

Tomorrow hubby is off work, so we‘re going to the zoo in Tyler. Excited for family time - but no reading time tomorrow.
I got an unexpected gig for this weekend. It‘s nice to work, though it‘s because the usual timpanist was very sick over the holidays and isn‘t fully recovered. But rehearsal Saturday and 2 services Sunday = little reading time (except between services).
So #JoyousJanuary will be a slow start for me.

#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

1. I miss going to Book Expo America. It offered a little bit of everything--signings, panels, parties, etc--and I loved hanging out with my book blogger pals.

2. Deep fried cheese curds if they're on offer. Bottomless milk's great, too, but that's probably more of a fair thing.

3. YAY!

1. Ginny Moon
2. My hubby and I do patio gardening....vegetables, herbs and flowers
3. Roxane Gay last night! She was absolutely wonderful!

It‘s me & all the senior citizen ladies in my condo circle & I love it! #weekendchat @CSeydel

• probably the Magic Treehouse series? It has so many books, but more recently the Pretty Little Liars series
• I don‘t tend to give up on series because I always need to know what happens and how things end
• it depends on the book!
• not officially, but I consider my entire English degree a book club

#weekendchat @CSeydel

🔺 Probably The Cat Who series 😸
🔺 Many from childhood- Babysitters Club, Animorphs, Boxcar Children
🔺 They‘re usually library books, so pass them on
🔺 Yes 👯‍♀️
#weekendchat

📚The Boxcar Children 📚The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer (I read them to my daughter but she outgrew her interest before the last book came out.) 📚Both! And sometimes I‘ll take a pile to Powell‘s to sell for store credit. (Yay, more books!) 📚Yes! We take turns picking the book and one night each month we bring food & wine to a home where we discuss it. It‘s great! #weekendchat @CSeydel

#weekendchat

1. I'm currently reading through all of Louise Penny's Three Pines series and Daniel Silvia's Gabriel Allon series and plan to start Maise Dobbs this summer. It will take me years to finish these.
2. Divergent
3. I pass them on
4. Yes I belong to two. One at my library and the other is a group that has been meeting for almost 30 years. I'm one of the newbies attending for about 13 years. ❤️

#WeekendChat
1️⃣ I think it‘d still be the Sweet Valley High series at over 60 novels, thereabouts.
2️⃣ none that I can remember - I am a completist.
3️⃣ Shelve and recommend or buy another copy to give to someone since my books are mostly for-room-use only
4️⃣ Yup! Two offline (IRL) ones and 4 online.

It‘s the weekend and I have my replacement phone, so all is good!
1. Most recently Stephen King‘s It, but I will often quickly read through books when I hear they‘re being made into movies!
2. Miss Peregrine‘s Home for Peculiar Children
3. R.L. Stine, Neal Shusterman, Ransom Riggs, Nicola Yoon, Jon Scieszka, Veronica Roth, Julie Murphy (notice they are all YA, I have a type 😂)
4. Butterbeer—I was sad that I found it too sweet.
#WeekendChat

*It and The Dark Tower (although both were rereads)
*None offhand- I‘m not a cover person
*Quite a few- Sarah Morgan was my most recent I think
