Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s a good morning for snuggling with the pets, sipping a cup of coffee, and reading. I‘m finally making some time to truly get into this book that I can‘t mention by title since it‘s for our #CoverToCover postal book club and thoroughly enjoying it.

Soubhiville You‘re an amazing group, I love that you‘ve kept going! 3y

tpixie @Soubhiville yes! Thankful! 3y

Nute What type of bookclub is this? So much happens on Litsy, I guess that I am not surprised that I haven‘t heard of this. Congratulations on five years together.🙂 3y

Mccall0113 Thank you to @Soubhiville for starting this lasting friendship. And to my bookish friends! 3y

Soubhiville @Nute it‘s like a very extended #LMPBC. There are around 12 members, so each cycle takes a year! And they‘ve kept it going this whole time and gotten pretty close. 3y

Soubhiville @Mccall0113 ☺️🥰 3y

tpixie @Nute yes! Like @Soubhiville said. We mail a book and a journal and pass it around to each other. When we get the book back we get to see what everyone thought of the book we picked! We‘re halfway through round four! We call ourselves #Covertocover (edited) 3y

Oh my! The End of Round Three for me!
@Mccall0113 your book is headed back to you!
COVID-19 seemed to slow us down this year We started in April 2019 and the 11 books took until 12/2020!
Can‘t wait for Round 4! I hope we get back to 12 💗 #Covertocover
Finally @Daisey will get her birthday gift & @EmilyChristine ‘s is only a tad late!

Chrissyreadit What book group is this? 4y

Soubhiville I love that you are all still reading together! 4y

tpixie @Chrissyreadit it‘s a round robin book club. There were a few out there on Litsy and then the wonderful @Soubhiville set up a couple more. Luckily I saw her post. Our group is made up of 12 great women! We each pick a book sent it with a journal, and then mail it to the next person in line. In theory we‘re supposed to do this on the 7th of every month. COVID has kind of messed up our reading and going to the post office! 4y

See All 21 Comments

Chrissyreadit Nice! 4y

Mccall0113 @Soubhiville are there any other groups still going? 4y

Kappadeemom I remember being a part of one of these a year or two ago and it was fun until a few folks dropped out and the book “line” stopped. I would like to join another one! 4y

Soubhiville @Mccall0113 not that I know of. Most of the groups with over 4 people seem to crumble, it only takes one person getting flaky to mess the whole thing up. The thing to look for now are the #LMPBC groups that have only 4 people, so they run for 4 months. That seems like an easier amount of time for people to really commit too. I‘ll look up who runs them and comment again, I can‘t remember off the top of my head. 4y

Soubhiville @Mccall0113 it‘s @suvata that organizes the #lmpbc groups. I think a new round just started, so it‘ll be a few months before they are doing sign ups again. 😊 4y

Daisey ❤️ this and that we‘re still reading together even if a bit slower!! I have a read book that I need to get packed up and sent on its way to @Faibka too. 4y

tpixie @Chrissyreadit yes! It‘s been fun! 4y

tpixie @Kappadeemom yes- see @Soubhiville ‘s comment below yours- most groups have crumbled. 4y

tpixie @Daisey yes we‘ve got a great group! 4y

tpixie @Soubhiville that‘s interesting that #CoverToCover is holding out longer compared to other groups! We do have a great group. We lucked out! ( what does the # LMPBC stand for? 😊) 4y

Soubhiville @tpixie it‘s Litsy Markup Postal Book Club I believe 😊) 4y

Chrissyreadit @Kappadeemom we just started a new round of coffee bean book club reading cozy mysteries- @Mommamanzi runs it - it‘s a year long book club also. But I agree with @tpixie the #lmpbc seems to be a good option. Although if there was another Sci fi fantasy one like @Avanders ran that would be fun!!! 4y

tpixie @Soubhiville thanks! 4y

tpixie @Chrissyreadit oh! Yes! @Mommamanzi has been doing the coffee over a long time! I thought it was the same people, but sounds like it‘s new groups. Those always look fun! Coffee ☕️ & books 📚 4y

Chrissyreadit @tpixie I think it‘s mostly the same but there have been a couple spaces that opened up so last year I was able to join. 4y

tpixie @Chrissyreadit that group looks fun! Glad you could join! @Mommamanzi is great & a special person. I got to meet her about 3 years ago when I was in Florida. Her kids are precious! I think you and I met later that same year!! ( or the Fall before!) (edited) 4y

Chrissyreadit @tpixie I hope there will be more meetups once Covid has been controlled. 4y

tpixie @Chrissyreadit yes, me too. They are fun 🤩 4y

Luckily the plants weren‘t though so hopefully later in the week I‘ll be able to get photos of that one! And my peach ones coming up and I love my orange one that will be coming soon!

1. I love interesting covers, but I'll read a book despite a bad cover.
2. Not really...Spring/Autumn maybe, but the summer is too hot and humid.
3. Prefer to finish the chapter, or at least the section, but can stop if necessary.
4. Bookmarks!
5. Yep.
@SilversReviews

SilversReviews Oh yes....a bad cover wouldn‘t keep me from reading a book. I like to finish a section or at least get to the bottom of the page. :) Thanks for playing 6y

1. I do love a good cover! I do judge a book by it‘s cover 🤷🏻‍♀️
2. The front porch AND the backyard. I love to read outside when the weather is good ☀️
3. Usually stop anywhere.
4. Yes! Always a bookmark. Even if it‘s a random piece of paper.

SilversReviews

SilversReviews And...I judge a book by its cover too. I did find one book with a not-so-attractive cover, but the story line was FAB!! Thanks for playing. 6y

SilversReviews I wish I could make myself use proper bookmarks. 😍😍😍 Thanks for playing. 6y

BookishGirl06 @SilversReviews you‘re welcome. Just out of curiosity, are you a fan of dog earring ? (edited) 6y

SilversReviews @BookishGirl06 ABSOLUTELY NOT on dog earring....I cringe when I see someone doing that 6y

BookishGirl06 @SilversReviews me too honestly. I just made me wonder if that‘s what you meant earlier when you said proper bookmarks 6y

SilversReviews @BookishGirl06 I am glad you asked. Sorry for the confusion. A proper bookmark would be one from a manufacturer. 😍😍😍 6y

1. I am but also will take them off in certain situations. 2. I was in Maryland, but in Florida only from October to April. Too warm even with the fan. 3. I‘ll stop reading anywhere but may need to read back. 4. I will if I have one handy. Otherwise receipts or even the dreaded dog ear ( my book) will do.

SilversReviews Oh...I always take off they cover. :) Thanks for playing. 6y
