Welcome to Litsy!

@Amiable and others

Any ideas on #chuncksterchallenge next year?

I‘m looking at some but I do better if others are reading too. Some include Le Morte D‘Arthur, Les Mis, Anna Karenina, and Ulyseees. What are ye thinking?🤔 🧐

Ever since we were small children we've been exposed to a number of enchanting fictional worlds and places.
Some came to us through books, while we were shown others through television and movies. It's a lot of fun to imagine slipping into one of these worlds to see and experience it for ourselves. What are some fictional settings you'd like to visit?

Thanks for the tag, @Eggs ❤️
1. It‘s when people think they know everything. You know the ones who call out people on unimportant things (like grammar rules that should‘ve been abolished ages ago or a slight mispronunciation on a word only 20% of the population even knows). And they‘re usually the ones who hog a conversation 🙄.
2. Characters who won‘t learn from their mistakes and make the same bad choices over and over again.

Looking for advice: What do you do when you don‘t like the narrator of your audiobook but you like the story?

What is the official hashtag for WinterGames? #WinterGames or #WinterGames2021 ? Does it even matter?

Hey #BookspinBingo players, when you have a free space on your board is it free like I can make bingo without anything here (like the center space for regular bingo) or free like you can read anything to put there?

How do you stay up to read or get a lot of reading done ? I am planning on staying up a lot next month (hopefully) even though I have a four year old lol. #listyquestion #reading

Okay guys, my brother in law wants an e-reader. Just a basic reader, reads like a printed book with no crazy backlight. Easy to load books onto it from the library. He has amazon prime. He also has dyslexia and needs it to be easy to adjust for his reading needs. He has a book light to use with it. Suggestions? Kindle or Nook? Not super expensive is preferred. 🤔 #whichereader
Thank you!

Just a random post but I Realized it is so much easier to read from my kindle when at work. I seem to read more.

Catching-up after a busy week! Thanks for the tags @sprainedbrain @greenreads @MoonWitch94

1. Not many at all because work‘s been kicking my butt. My Goodreads says 15 but it‘d be a couple more than that.
2. It‘s always 50
3. Three Shadows by Cyril Pedrosa
4. Christmas! Also my dog #Gambit really really loves snow so it‘s always fun to play outside with him.

#WinterGames #TeamFestivus

1. Interacting with people who love books as much as I do.
2. I‘m interested in seeing pretty much everything.
3. A way to mark books as want to read and owned.
4. Depends, if life gets busy and cuts into my reading time, I will just read and not check any social media.
5. I like them all.
6. It would be nice to be able to direct message someone.

1. I ❤️ having a group of kindred spirits to discuss books with. We may not all like the same books, but the important thing is that we all ❤️ books.
2. I‘m interested in most things, although I haven‘t done any swaps in awhile. And I love how Litsy has expanded my TBR. Also #catsoflitsy 😸
3. I wish there were a way to organize our followerers/followees. I have so many in my feed, I feel like I‘m sometimes missing things. #litsyquestionnaire ⬇️

1. Bring able to connect with book lovers, getting to know people from all over the world, getting honest book recs
2. I just scroll past, everyone likes something different
3. Grids, as suggested by @BarbaraBB and only one edition of each book. I hate having to stack a book again and again.
4. It has become less after I started working, but I try to post at least a couple of times a week
👇

1. I love having a designated space to talk books!
2. I don‘t think there is a single thing I‘m uninterested in.
3. A form of direct messaging would be cool - I‘d like to be able to discuss things further with people but not necessarily through comments.
4. Not as often as I‘d like, but I‘m trying to be more active!
5. Yes, but I never do read-alongs. I always fall behind.
6. Other than messaging, I can‘t think of anything. It‘s already great!!!

Slight bandwagon but I figure one can‘t complain if one isn‘t willing to step up and try and help fix those issues!!
1. Interacting with other passionate readers and being part of a generally lovely community.
2. Popularity contests, bullying and photo contests (that ones gonna be controversial, I know 😂🤦🏻‍♀️😂)
3. Actual conversation about actual books
4. Patchily, tbh I got sick of my timeline drowning under swaps
5. Yes BUT I think they ⬇️

#keeplitsyactive

1. Finding new books to read, connecting with people who love books like I do
2. Sometimes the games/photo challenges/daily questions take over the bookish posts I actually came to see.
3. Fix the issue where the TBR list jumps back to the top whenever you click on a book link and go back.
4. Depends on my work schedule: deadline weeks means I‘m not around as much
5. Yes to all; enjoy swaps and read alongs the most
6. ⬇️

Ok, I've put some thought into this so it might be long. Be warned!

1. The community. I came here to talk about books but not only about books and I love that about this place. It's a safe space for book lovers to meet and converse without the commercialism of bookstagram and book Twitter. No judgement, all fun
2. Honestly, nothing. If I see something I'm not into, I keep scrolling.
3. I'd love to see an option to like a comment. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Everything: book recommendations, book chat and friendships, from around the world.
If I‘m not following or not interested in something I just scroll past - like you‘d tune out if it was a conversation in the pub. It‘s not a big issue.
Read alongs. Swaps when I feel like.
Really not sure 🤷‍♀️ I love it, things evolve.
Search your own posts somehow and post pictures in a conversation.
Generally every day

1. I love seeing likeminded people who love to read. I get such great suggestions on what‘s the hot read and things I normally wouldn‘t read.
2. Meh, if I‘m not interested I keep scrolling 🤷🏼‍♀️
3. 🤷🏼‍♀️
4. I go in waves, about a couple of times a week when I‘m active
5. My favorite thing is book discussions, id love to read more so being involved in a discussion is a great way to do that and share ideas
6. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@ljuliel #litsyquestionnaire
1. The best book suggestions, insightful reviews, and genuinely lovely people.
2. I haven‘t been a joiner lately, but I like seeing what others are doing. I wish Litsy would solve the irritating double posting issue.
3. Please, for the love of all that‘s holy, fix the horrible problems since the 13.x iOS update. Litsy is unusable on my phone now. Nearly every inch sends my away from posts. I‘m not updating my ⬇️

#litsyquestionnaire
1. The book reviews/recommendations, the swaps, the games, reading buddies (i.e., pets), general interactions & awesomeness of everyone
2. I can‘t think of anything. I like it all, regardless of whether I actively participate.
3. 🤷🏼‍♀️
4. Depends. Some days a lot, some days (although rare), nothing. I usually post at least once a day.
5. Yes, I enjoy all of them
👇🏻

🍁 Being with people who also love reading.
🍁 I usually enjoy a bit of everything.
🍁 I would like a tbr list (have but haven't read) and if when your in the comments section, when you click on one and go back you don't end up back at the top.
🍁 At least 5 times a week, sometimes a lot more.
🍁 yes to all
🍁 I really would like a tbr section.
