Welcome to Litsy!

Another book related term for #weirdwords I first stumbled across this term a year ago. I'm sure we've all experienced this before. A couple of years ago I read The Shining, for what I thought was the first time. However I had a strong sense of Deja Lu while doing so. (Image taken from the net)

I'm so excited for the #BookmarkSwap! Thanks for hosting, @LibrarianRyan

Beware: never disturb a book lover when he/she is reading. Results can be fatal. 🤣🤣🤣

Happy Sunday Littens! I hope you're having a relaxing day. I'm finishing up my current read and I have a massive TBR stack from which to choose my next one. What more could a girl ask for??? 🤗📚💖

Ugh. I‘ve spotted some beauties! 😍

Aren't we all?! 😂💕❤📚

Learned a new word today! Hovawart! A breed of German dog. The author of the book Im reading kept referring to his “Hovawart,” which I knew from context was some kind of animal, but with a name like that I was expecting something Hagrid would introduce.

So this is a thing I suffer from.

Has anyone joined GoRead.com?? Or know much about it?
Looks like you get points and can spend them towards books, but not sure how you earn points though. You get a free one for joining?!

Words...words...Oh how I love funny words!

Thank you so much Alicia for the great books and goodies. I also enjoyed the picture 😂 I work as a teacher in a daycare so those kind of things makes me happy! Can't wait to try out the travel book!

It's BOOK EXCHANGE day!! So excited!!! #bibliophilebookexchange

@LitTraveler and I were paired for #bibliophilebookexchange and I think we were a great match! Thanks for the goodies Erika! Can't wait to read the book and see how you like your goodies!!

A huge thank you to @collegecatlady for not only putting together the #bibliophilebookexchange, but for being my match. She was incredibly generous with signed copies and a group of books I have not read. Thank you! Now I have to find some time to read them. Thank you so much!

President Theodore Roosevelt used muckraker in his last sense in a 1906 speech: "The men with the muck rakes are often indispensable to the well-being of society; but only if they know when to stop raking the muck, and to look upward to the celestial crown above them, to the crown of worthy endeavor."

I'm so excited for this weekend! Probably won't be getting much time to read but the #EisterLibrary expansion is continuing!! Moving furniture, rearranging books, making better use of our cataloging app, after a stressful week this is how I want to unwind. Soon it will be even easier for our friends and community to explore our shelves!

Does anyone else actually use their Kindle Vocabulary Builder ? 🤔😂

Well, each dictionary selects its own Word of the Year. The 2016 WotY for the Cambridge Dictionary is, "paranoid."
"Searches have risen ... over four times more than in 2015. ...it suggests perhaps a feeling that the institutions that have kept us safe can no longer be trusted, ... When we look at other words that have shown similar increases, we can build a fuller picture: anxiety, chaos, increases in prejudice, bigotry ...". #wordoftheyear

Just a few of my more popular #bookmarks. How cool is the memorial one? I'm requesting that idea when I leave this earth. I feel like it is a great way to remember a book lover.

That moment when your future mother-in-law texts you saying a mysterious package of books arrived on her doorstep for you. Le fiancé has been fueling my book addiction again. ❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️

He guards the books. #readingbuddy #dogsoflitsy
