Welcome to Litsy!

Updated bracket for March.

March #bookspinbingo board, listed a few books that I need to finish up but indecisive so I left it up to my mood for most spaces. March is also #womenshistorymonth as well as #developmentaldisabilitiesawarenessmonth It‘s also March Madness & ready for some basketball. 2 of our alma maters are in the top 25 (San Diego State & UNC Chapel Hill) but sadly NC State has had a rough season (although the Women‘s team has been great)

March really flew by! My goals for #MarchMadness were to read these books, plus my #bookspin and #doublespin picks (The Rainmaker and Irish Miscellany), and I did. It was a good month of reading!
Thanks to the hosts! 😊

I can‘t believe March is upon us! My goals are to read these books, plus my #bookspin and #doublespin picks. ☘️☘️☘️

#MarchMadness

Progress:

Getting ready for March Book Madness with my 5th and 6th graders. May the best book win.

It‘s my Birthday Month! Follow along with @Cinfhen & @Lizpixie with some classic tunes from the decade that style forgot. Hitch up those flared jeans, strap on your platform shoes & hitch a ride with some of the best music ever made. Interpretation is up to you! So channel your inner flower child & sing along.

#MarchIntoThe70s✌️

Not a bad month. All these long work trips have netted me a bunch of completed audio books. I'm up to 77 books for the year. 🎉

Tracking the #marchmadnesschallenge in my #bujo. My bracket isn‘t looking great but my team just advanced so I‘m feeling good enough! I was going to read some of these anyway, but whether I read them now or later will depend how the rest of this tournament goes 😂

#MarchMadnessChallenge @JenP The only good thing I can say about last night is that I only have about 3 books left to read my entire bracket🤣😂😅😥😭😱📚🍀🏀

Brackets lock tomorrow right before start of games. Don‘t miss out!

Planning my #MarchMadnessChallenge bracket while enjoying a cookie and coffee. I have read quite a lot of some of the higher ranking books, so it definitely is a puzzle to make everything align 😅

Want to join the challenge? Head over to @JenP and see all the details 👍

Next step is to fill out your bracket and submit it BEFORE March 15.

Here are some instructions: https://thereadersroom.org/2018/03/11/brackets-are-now-live-for-march-book-madne...

Please ask me any questions. I recommend printing out an official NCAA bracket then using our book bracket to write in the names of books with each team so you end up with one bracket that has both books and teams on it

You can lay the two versions next to each other to see how they are matched. Tomorrow I will post step by step instructions on the blog. 👇🏼👇🏼

@JenP I am so impressed with the #MarchMadnessChallenge and all the work put in to getting these brackets together! This will be a fun ride I can tell- if anyone is participating let me know and we can battle it out!

Here are all the books I own from the #marchmadnesschallenge bracket. I have also read Hunger and Hate U Give but donated my copies to my LFL. Show us your stacks?

Challenge starts soon and the book bracket is done. Now we are waiting for selection Sunday to see how basketball teams are ranked so we can pair them up.

#MadMarch @LazyOwl @LeeRHarry Thank you so much @LazyOwl for livening up what can be a long dreary March - @LeeRHarry your bookmark is beautiful & I am excited to have something from Australia! Also love the card; it deserves a frame. Right now I am having coffee & reading facing the sun.

#MadMarch was a win for me. Thank you so much @Alfoster - what a wonderful (and very thoughtful) treat!! It was so kind of you to consider my kids 😍😍

#marchmadness envelope will be in the mail tomorrow! @LazyOwl

When your NCAA basketball bracket is busted and you just can't even

#caturday #kittenlitten #marchmadness

I love March Madness -- a little wine, a little reading, and a whole lot of basketball! 🍷📚🏀

Here is my tentative reading list, assuming my teams don't get knocked out early! Books with an asterisk indicate a substitution because I either read the book or I'm unable to obtain a copy. I used the library recommendation list for substitute titles. Let me know if you approve choices @JenP Thanks for making the tournament actually fun! #MarchMadness
