Is anyone else have trouble seeing people's TBR? I'm trying to do some snooping and it isn't working for me 😔 Also experiencing some lagging. Not all pictures will load. Are these the issues that people were talking about over the last couple of days? I thought I'd gotten past these humps 😑😑😑

#ssgpswapquestions
Don't know who made this so I can't give a grateful tag...sorry!
If you were transported to the setting of your current read, where would you be?
I'd be in 1958 in Derry, ME... but I'm not reading It. 😉
So my Litsy friends, I️ am thinking about doing a #bookstagram mainly so I️ can follow other bookish Instagrams accounts🙃 and I have so many questions...my main question for now...I️ have temporarily set up an account with a username of Ferociousreader. Does that conjure negative connotations? A friend who meant to call me a “voracious” reader called me this instead (repeatedly 😂🙄) so I️ though I‘d roll with it. What say you, Litsy?
I‘m not sure this is accurate (but maybe because i‘m questioning this it is??). But I‘ll take the compliment that I‘m exceptionally bright 😂😂. Thank you random quiz.
Thanks @hermyknee for tagging me for the #giftswapsurvey!
1) Pink, red, grey, black
2) Books?! Cats, cameras, stationery, fountain pens, chocolate, movies, candles
3) As a child, ‘Charlotte‘s Web‘; as an adult, too many to think of
4) YA, thriller, suspense, sci-fi, literary fiction, horror
5) Trump, selfishness and disrespect, meat
6) I grew up in Hong Kong

Looking for audiobook recommendations, fun and engaging not heavy, for my commute. Also looking for ones that are easily available through the library without huge waits. And here's today's travel mug :)
Love these questions, Jenni!
🔸The Count of Monte Cristo (according to my Goodreads)
🔸big books with lots of detail ❤️
🔸very rarely, and then only if it‘s cappuccino 😂
🔸good old English breakfast
🔸in my favorite chair or in bed
🔸I‘ve always loved it, but The Hobbit got me obsessed 😍
- probably War and Peace
- smaller book
- in the form of tea (on the rare occasions@I am actually drinking coffee I have it black with sugar)
- all of them😊 it always changes
- in bed
- I always loved it😊

#litsyquestions
So, when I click on my Litfluence, I see how many books I've read, how many pages etc. At the bottom is "Book Adds". Naturally I've got a big fat 0 because I have no idea how to add books, or if I even can. There's been at least one book I searched for that I can't blurb about because it's not on Litsy and so I requested it be added. Why can't I add it myself?
What's the deal? Can anyone shed some light?
Ok my fellow book hoarders! I have a question for you.
How do you organize your bookshelves? Do you have an area for what you plan to read next? Do you separate the read books from the not read books?
Alphabetical, by genre, by TBR vs Read, etc?
I'm dying to know!!!
#Questions #Books
1) Halloween and cosy pjs
2) Autumn
3) Lots! Victorian, Ancient Egyptian, Futuristic, Medieval, 1920s, 1960s, Renaissance...
4) It depends on the month. Probably only (d0 on average
5) Egypt, America, Australia, India, UK
6) Work ?
7) About 150 (not including kindle books)

#questiontime
I have a question for you guys. Most of my TBR Pile are old books I've inherited. I am pretty sure I won't be able to finish them all as they are often written in old german letters and probably are not the easiest reads. My question now: Would you keep the books from this shelf that you had to DNF, because they are all very beautiful? Or would you give them away?
1. Introduced to Litsy by my daughter @Ambrosnazzy 2. Can't remember when I didn't love reading 3. Little Women, Jane Austen 4. All the Light We Cannot See 5. Passionate about cooking, music 6. Don't really binge; closest would be Escape to the Country 7. Cookbooks! 8. None. Started #LitsyAtoZ, but I have no discipline 😄9. None 10. Parents who always read, hubby who introduced me to genres outside my comfort zone. @LazyOwl #10questions
Hey Littens! Have any of you published a book? Or gone through the process? I have a proposal that I want to submit to an agent, but it feels like if you're not in New York you're out of luck.
Any tips or advice?
pickThis really is one of my favourite question to ask, and being asked!!
Let us know *Pretty please* #WeAreReading
bailedI was really enjoying Big Questions by Anders Nilsen for a while, but then it seemed to go off the rails, and I found it very hard to follow visually. I feel like I missed something, because all the other reviews seem positive. Should I try again or just move on with life and lit?
1. Sydney, Australia
2. Today, it's Chocolate Cake for Breakfast
3. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
4. James and the Giant Peach and Are you there God, it's me Margaret
5. Atonement
6. The new Hillary memoir
#letstalkaboutbooksbaby
Littens I need help. I was listing my favorite genres for #letshyggebookswap by @Tiffy_Reads
What category/genre would you consider books like The Bookshop on the Corner, The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend, Confessions of a Domestic Failure, etc. Light-hearted books with happy endings, not life changing or real meaningful, but fun and relaxing. I wouldn't consider them Romance though there's usually a love interest in the story. Thoughts???
1. College; too many required books to read for fun
2. Am embarrassed, but it was Twilight, a few years after college; I had been such a book snob and it reminded me of the pleasure of binge-reading just to know what happens
3. I'm not a rereader, but I'll pick up historical romance as a comfort read
4. Indie bookstores
5. Island of the Blue Dolphins, Julie of the Wolves
6. Usually go w/it
7. Make it easier to find old reviews (by me or others)
1. Road trip from San Diego to Los Cabos B.C.
2. Greece
3. Artemis
4. Brother
5. Nothing comes to mind 🤔
6. Kindle
7. 1 month 😣
8. MountTBR/PopSugar/RetellingBingo
9. Throne of Glass
10. Animal Farm
#MiscQuestions @Sha0102
1. Any of the ones I took with my friends.
2. Mars
3. ?
4. My mom
5. Baseball game
6. Kindle
7. A month
8. All Neil Gaiman books
9. Pride & Prejudice
10. The Ocean at the End of the Lane
#miscquestions
1. Never enough, I can tell you that! Probably 7 if I'm lucky 😖
2. Prefer print but digital have their uses.
3. Fantasy and nonfiction that reads like fiction
4. Romance and inspirational fiction or nonfiction
5. Wankers who tear pages out of books
6. Lifelong escape pod for me
7. When I don't have a book with me in any format, I feel panicky. Luckily this is quite rare!
Thanks, @GypsyKat #LitsyQuestions
Hi Litsy Pals! I keep getting targeted ads for Playster. Has anyone tried it or any other audiobook book service besides Audible and Overdrive? Is it any good? What is the best audiobook source in terms of price and selection?
1. Chocolate!!
2. Deckled edge
3. It depends on how good the book is, but assuming it's a good one - series.
4. Neverland
5. Librarian
