Welcome to Litsy!

"I wait, browsing the stacks, thinking that the library is both the bookstore‘s enemy and our friend. They have everything here—why would anyone ever need to buy a book? On the other hand, there is nothing like the library to awaken a reader to the endless possibilities of the written word."

"This is not my bedroom."

Finished this lovely twist on Sliding Doors in the glorious sunshine this afternoon. I really enjoyed Kitty/Katharyn‘s unfolding story and was really pleased to have broken my streak of books with rushed endings!! I felt like this one told me everything I needed and left me happy!

Not a bad book, when Kitty Miller goes to sleep, she goes or dreams of another life she is living, here she has 3 children and her name is Katharyn. Everytime sleep comes she dreams of the two lives she is living, once they blur together, she's not too sure which is her real life.

• That book life, though...every day, we be stackin' 😁📚🤪•

Hi everyone! I finally finished a book this month. I've been in a reading slump. I really enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed this story. This about a girl named Kitty who owns a bookstore with her bestfriend. Both of them are older and aren't married. Kitty at night starts dreaming about this other life with a guy she married to and they have 3 kids. The dreams are so real she starts wondering if she's in a different world.

#30JuneBooks - Book Source: I purchase books wherever they are found. Whether I am looking for books or not looking for books, when I come across books, at least, one of them must come home with me. There are no rules and no restrictions...well, there must be money on me and no hungry children with me. Since the boys are always hungry, when I am planning to purchase several books, I sneak to the bookstore after work or place an order online.😂

This book started out quite good. Was nteresting throughout the book but the ending was just not satisfying; however I still would recommend.

My train and hotel are booked and paid, and I just registered for #BookExpo19! Any other Littens going? Any bookselling Littens going? I know it's almost 2 months away, but I missed last year and I miss NYC!

This is a quick, easy and enjoyable read. It was great to read about love between a relatable married couple in early middle age. I will be buying this book as a gift, as I can think of more than one friend who would like it. A definite recommend.

Another #NewYearWhoDis read recommended by @Joriebooks. I managed to read two from the list. Thank you for organising, @monalyisha !

1. On GR I went for 100 books, to read new authors and finish any series I have started
2. No
3. Black Widow
4. My birthday was only last Saturday so December
5. Happy Birthday!

My second read of the this year and I love it. Such an interesting idea. I can't wait to find out the ending. I love the cover too! #books #booksandmovies #bookcover

OMG!!! Look at the collection Book Outlet has! $120 😍😍😍😍😍😍

I wish I had been #sleepingmydayaway yesterday, but I was selling books which isn't such a bad plan either!

The grass isn‘t always greener on the other side. This book is okay, not quite what it seems to be at first

Ever wonder how a month‘s worth of business trips changes a bookseller‘s personal library? Hard choices were made trying to fit books in suitcases #thatsnotevenallofthem #ineedmorebookshelves

#usedbooks #booksellersoflitsy #tbr

1. One at a time
2. Both
3. Included
4. They‘re all grown but I hope they read Love You Forever to they‘re children if they have them some day.

I adore meeting with book clubs (either in person or via video chat) to discuss The Bookseller and/or The Glass Forest. This group, the “Book Babes” of Denver, CO, also fed me sushi and wine. Author win!

Hmm. Read it in two days. I'm not that enamoured really but kind of enjoyed parts of it.
Not too sure about the last couple of chapters /the ending.

Borrowed this from the library and have spent much of this afternoon reading in the sun :)

I know we‘re more bookish here, but this is a look into my world as a bookseller. I‘m obsessed with my new job. My coworkers are kind. I get to tell kids about the wonders of Little House on the Prairie and Percy Jackson. I help high school students search for classics to write reports on. I get to watch young adults pursue dystopia because I tell them about it. I. Love. My. Job. ❤️ #IAmABookseller

The face of the newest employee of her local Books-a-Million! I sell books for a living now! I start training next week, and I couldn‘t be more excited about it. ✨

Had to unexpectedly work tonight because my night staff person is ill. It‘s slow tonight so I‘m reading this from my Kindle.

I feel like I need this in t-shirt form!!!! 🤓

Spending some time smelling and looking around in Miami. At Books and Books. #AintNothingLiketheRealThing

Kitty is a bookseller with a failing store. She starts dreaming about an alternate life she would have had with a met who stood her up on their first date. The story goes back and forth between reality and dreams. But which is which? Set in the early 1960s with themes of family, motherhood, and the changing lives of women during this time.

This is a quick read. The ending is a little unrealistic. Overall I enjoyed this book.

I think I'm in trouble...... 😮

Finally, it's Friday night. The husband is away turkey hunting. The house is all mine. I plan on attending the #kclitsymeetup tomorrow!

And yes, that's store bought guac. Too lazy to make my own. But I did cut a lime for the beer.

Working a weird schedule this week so doing more morning than bedtime reading. Since my family has already left for the day I'm starting this one from the comfort of my bed.

When Kitty starts having dreams where her life is completely different, she enjoys them. But as time goes on the dreams become more vivid and Kitty is unsure she wants them to continue. Can she stop the dreams or will they consume her?
I loved this book. The contrast between Kitty‘s waking and dream world is startling. I loved the twist at the end.

A beautiful day to read outside while Baby Girl👶🏻 plays. Starting another book about a woman who owns a bookshop. 📚🤓😍

BOOK MAIL is the best. 😍

Thanks, Katie Bassel from @StMartinsPress 😍

Boo on the ending of this one! It was also a little too long. I‘m disappointed because it began strongly but fizzled out about 2/3 of the way through. If only we could have such dreams that allow us to become perfect versions of ourselves when we wake...

Listening to this while STILL renovating the bathroom! It‘s strange so far...

Went to a used bookstore and found some great titles.

A little intriguing but not sure I buy into the ending.

I don‘t know where you all found yourcfantastic #bookishscreens but here‘s mine.

A single woman who owns a bookshop with her best friend starts dreaming that she has another life - a life with a husband, children, and a recent tragedy that she can‘t seem to remember. Fascinating and very readable - I read 3/4 of the book in one day!

New work #swag. #booksellersoflitsy #lovemyjob #thriftbooks

I just saw a commercial for Book of the Month! Do I just live in the dark? I have never seen a tv commercial for BOTM before!

Next book and a little ice cream too 🤓

I heard this is going to be made into a movie with Julia Roberts so I started it this weekend. It is good so far.
