Welcome to Litsy!

Ok, so I know what y'all are thinking... because I can like totally tap into your brilliant, beautiful minds and just KNOW these things!

You're thinking "Ana... it's almost midnight. What are you doing barely putting together a #BookSpin list!? And also... that's not 20 titles!"

But bear with me, dear Littens!

My goals are:
• finish reading the gosh darn books I'm #currentlyreading
• bring down current reads to maybe 3??

(Cont'd ⬇️)

Well, that takes care of my worry about dying before my tbr is completed.
@NataliePatalie

Last minute shenanigans with yours truly again, dear Littens 😊

As always, there are returning appearances by previous list occupants mixed in with a handful of brand new titles.

Hooray for a new month of reading!

@TheAromaofBooks

Here is my #BookSpin list for the month of April from which I'll be drawing titles for #BookSpinBingo 😊 Yay!!

Plenty are returning titles; many are brand new.

There may also be books that I'll continue to work on well into the next month at the pace I'm going 😉

In any case, I am excited about everything listed!

@TheAromaofBooks

Here is my March #BookSpin list.

Many of the titles (the majority, in fact) are from last month with the exception of 4 new additions.

Aside from that, I've chosen one title in particular to take up multiple spots on my list in hopes that it'll be my spin selection and in order to really make it a reading priority next month.

@TheAromaofBooks @silentrequiem

Ok, Littens... so let me explain 😁😊

This is my February #BookSpin list. I realize it has two months written up at the top, but anything in 💙 is a carryover from January; anything in ❤, belongs to February. Italicized titles in 💜 are #currentreads.

The four titles at the top are stand-alones because they'll take me longer than a month to complete.

Finally, 📕 indicates a Black author and 📚 marks a diverse/POC author.

@TheAromaofBooks

Here‘s my list for February‘s #BookSpinBingo. Can‘t wait to put together my board.

My #bookspin, #doublespin and #bookspinbingo list is all done. I went ahead and threw a couple Christmas books on there because I start Christmas on thanksgiving once Santa comes by on the Macy‘s parade. Though because it‘s 2020, I may start early to bring the joy 😉

Added my TBR to my bullet journal. I have a more extensive TBR in my bujo, but this one is for the books (including eBooks and audiobooks) I currently own.

Ending the year at 75 books which is 10 more than my goal of 65. Next year I‘m planning on doing not one but 3 different reading challenges so wish me luck! #readingtracker #booksof2019 #bringonthe2020books

Here are the books I am hoping to finish before the new year! One I am about half way through now, a couple are going to be quick reads, a couple I am reading with an audiobook and one or two I am not sure if I am going to like them. However #24B42020 is really helping me get through my pile!!

#WinterGames #MerryReaders

Finally updated my #bulletjournal #readinglist #bujo #readingjournal

Help me decide what to read next, the audiobook edition

Hey all! I am jumping on the #makemereadit bandwagon!Sorry I didn‘t take better pictures they looked okay on my phone & I just noticed some are hard to read, so if you can‘t see what one is let me know. The ones I noticed are The Purple Rose is on the top towards the right next to Stalker. On the other side of Stalker is a book about the real Downton Abbey. The yellow one on the bottom is Hocus Pocus in Focus. I can‘t wait to see what you pick!

Down the TBR Hole #2 - find this tag on my blog.

It is a great way to clear your TBR List. The way it works is you select 5-10 books from your TBR list (from oldest to newest) and re-evaluate why they are there and decide to keep or remove.

Removing Digital Fortress, Steve Jobs, The Princess Diaries, All I want for Christmas and the Macedonian book. Find out why on my blog post.

Which ones would you keep/remove?

And I‘m SURE I will think of more that I forgot once I get going. But here‘s the list of series I‘ve started and am behind on, or that have books being released this year, or that I already own part of and want to start (or all of and want to read).

That‘s my goal! #SeriesRead

I‘ve started making my (proposed) reading list for 2019... I‘m embarrassingly behind on several of my series, and I want to re-read some favorites & read some that I just haven‘t gotten around to yet. I‘m going to set a book goal, but there are some door stops in here, so I think I‘m going to set more of a page count goal this year. What do y‘all think?

Down the TBR Hole #1 - find this tag on my blog.

It is a great way to clear your TBR List. This is my first batch. The way it works is you select 5-10 books from your TBR list (from oldest to newest) and re-evaluate why they are there and decide to keep or remove.

I have decided to remove three this time - Deception point, Safe Harbour and The Bourne Identity. (more details on why on my blog)

Which ones would you keep/remove?

Looking forward to diving into this list from @CoffeeNBooks for #newyearwhodis!
Read: 1, 2, 7
On my TBR: 4, 9
New to me: 3, 5, 6, 8
👏👏🥳🥳🎉🎉👍👍

@Chrissyreadit , these look like fun! I have read The Stranger Beside Me, but a few of these were already on my #tbr list. Station Eleven fulfills a challenge prompt too! I look forward to reading these! #NewYearWhoDis

Just saw his recommended book list from Bill Gates & I don‘t believe I‘ve read even one...(hard to believe). Love this quote though! #litinreallife #recommensday #whyiread

Happy #saturdayreads 🍁😊♥️

I love it when President Obama posts a reading list! Here‘s the link to today‘s list... I‘ve only read two of these, but will be checking out the others. 😃

I was offline for a while (celebrating my birthday) haven't done any reading lately. I will never finish my TBR, but... I already gave up on that 😁

#TBR #bookworm #ireadya #booklover

I found these fun library card print outs today. I put them in my bullet journal so I always have my list on me just in case.

A snapshot of the books I‘m hoping to finish and read this month. My hold came in for Norse Mythology from the library! 😁

March was a great reading month for me!

A fun #quiz that calculates how long it will take to read your current TBR list. Too bad I keep add my to it. I had to guesstimate my current TBR list. #tbrtime #readitforward

https://www.readitforward.com/tbr-time/

I haven't done a #ReadAThon before but this may have to be my first. I have waaayy too many books in my #TBR. Anyone else with this "problem" want to join? Thanks @Tiffy_Reads & @JenlovesJT47 for hosting! #MountTBRReadAThon #repost

It‘s a good thing @GypsyKat posted the various November challenges in one place. I spent my time on the bus last night preparing for today. I don‘t normally do these because I read a lot of ebooks so they‘re not as exciting as seeing stacks of books. I‘m going to at least show my #NovTBR - this is all I‘m committing to! #NoteworthyNovember

So excited for the #booktoteswap! Here is some info for potential stalkers out there 😋

Is anybody else starting to make themed reading lists? I am sketching out ideas for Christmas and Valentine's Day. So far, I am super heavy on #cozymysteries, so I will likely do #ilovecozies #TBRBingo for both. #lovelistmaking

Thanks for this prompt @Christyco125 hope this grows your TBR! #TBRboost
1 heard it on All The Books podcast
2 journals I started at 15
3 anything - ebooks put a library in my bag & I'm grateful!
4 nope but I peek!
5 yes - The Girls
6 none
7 This is where I leave you
8 My life with bob
9 Eleanor and Park, Memoirs of a Geisha, Love in the time of the cholera, The Alienist
10 The Girl with Kind Eyes (got called that once so I'm claiming it!)

We bought new furniture and I've found a new favorite reading spot! My new end table has lots of room to store my TBR stack and it's the perfect spot for my gorgeous new Book Nerd coasters!

Instead of my TBR in this pic I have stacks of some the books I've read this year. This is only about 1/4 of what I've read this year. The rest are either on my Kindle or were from the library. #allthebooksjuly # of books you've read this year➡43 so far!

I've been so bad at the posting thing but I hope this helps my #SummerSantaGoesPostal #SummerSolsticeBookExchange match : I don't own any of the books in my TBR 🤓🙈🙉🙊📖📚
@BookishMarginalia

Not gonna lie. It keeps growing but I'm not throwing in the towel. I'm also not going to stop adding to it either. #blameitonlitsy 🤓📚

#marchintoreading Day 1 Today felt like a Monday so I'm late with posts today. I may not get to all of these but I hope to. #marchtbr

I'm keeping #ThisMonthsTBR reasonable as I'm so bad at planning my reading. Hopefully I can get through these seven! #ReadJanuary

My TBR list is currently 589 books. I started this list seven years ago. Perhaps it's time to prune. (She says as she adds more books.)

Do you update your #TBR? How do you keep it manageable?

Do you feel like your tbr is looking a bit threadbare? Probably not if Litsy has anything to do with it. Nevertheless, this is a great list of the new and notable of 2016 by Alex Preston. Many have been discussed a lot here but there are a few I hadn't come across before. You're welcome 😉 http://ow.ly/Kaya306N32W
