Welcome to Litsy!

Okay Blitzers… we‘ve made it to the end of our year long #MonthlyMagazineBlitz ! How does everyone feel about their results?

Personally, I‘ve had some good months and some not-so-productive months (looking at you, October and December). But overall, my magazine piles are drastically reduced. Whoopee!

My takeaway: I just don‘t need to be bringing so much print into my house. I‘m not as interested in reading most of it as I used to be. ⬇️

I finished another October Real Simple issue this month and made the pile slightly smaller. In the process of cleaning up some paperwork, I found a few AARP magazines from THIS YEAR that I‘ll work on for the rest of the month.

Unfortunately, I bailed on Horse. Long story short, in this case it was a bad idea to go to book club without finishing the book. Off to the donation box it goes.

It‘s the last month of our year long #MonthlyMagazineBlitz ! Time to gather up our December issues from who knows how many years past, read them, and let them go.

Hopefully, all our magazine stacks/bins/baskets are looking significantly skinnier after all our efforts this year. I‘m proud of all of us for the effort we put in and the progress we made! 💪🏆🥇🙌

Okay, Blitzers! It‘s time to round up all our November issues for our #MonthlyMagazineBlitz . How did everyone do in October? I, for one, managed to clean out exactly ZERO magazines. But I did get rid of approximately 6 billion mail order catalogs. 😂

Another one bites the dust! I got a stack of these last night from the library downstairs. I use them for my kid‘s books and as wrapping paper. Would you believe I have already started wrapping my Christmas presents? Wonders never cease! The things you do on school holidays.

Yes, I stuck September‘s RS issues in a bag that is still sitting in my car! I did read one issue, however, as well as one more August issue before I left home.

On the other hand, I brought along the last few books I have from LFLs and finished one of them, so I found a local LFL and made a little field trip. It turned out to be quite well maintained, so I tagged it on my map app for future reference.

Okay Blitzers, it‘s time to gather up our October issues for #MonthlyMagazineBlitz ! I must admit, October and December are the two months I find it hardest to part with.

I started the month with six August issues and read two. Later next month I will be house sitting for some friends, and I‘ve bundled up the September issues to take with me. I might read some more August issues before I go…or I might not! #monthlymagazineblitz

Fellow Blitzers, it‘s time to gather up our September magazines, and prepare to transition into Fall. 🍁🍂🍁 How did everyone do in August, with the last of our Summer magazines?

Blitz Littens! Do y'all know what this is? It's an EMPTY magazine basket! Woo hoo! (Of course I do have two others that are fairly full... But still... Progress!)

Hello Blitzers! August begins tomorrow, so it‘s time to gather up all the August issues for #MonthlyMagazineBlitz .

I actually made quite a bit of progress in July - a refreshing change from the last couple of months. 😉 How did everyone else do?

I ended up reading a total of five Real Simple issues this month which is enough for a little while. 😵

Be that as it may, the pile is definitely shrinking, and I plan to pick up the pace again in August. For the next few days, though, I need to read some library books!

#monthlymagazineblitz

I leaned hard into library reads in June, so I only read two out of eight Real Simple issues. Maybe I can swing back and pick up a few in July? Meanwhile, I‘ve kind of lost momentum with #readordonate but I‘ll try to do at least one book. #monthlymagazineblitz

Hello Blitzers! It‘s time to gather up our July issues old and new for our #MonthlyMagazineBlitz. Hopefully we will all have some lazy summer days where we can just lounge around reading magazines! (A girl can dream… )

I have actually had some success this month in depleting my backlog of May & June issues. How did everyone else‘s month go?

Time to gather up our June issues for #MonthlyMagazineBlitz ! How did everyone‘s May blitzing go? My May efforts were nonexistent, due to lots of travel and general May busyness. But I have high hopes for June!

Another magazine bites the dust!

Okay, fellow Blitzers! It‘s time to gather up all our May issues!
How did everyone do in April? Hopefully, better than I did. I just couldn‘t seem to get motivated to read them. 🙄
#MonthlyMagazineBlitz

Okay, fellow blitzers, it‘s time to round up our April issues - no matter how old they are - for our #MonthlyMagazineBlitz ! Happy Spring Reading!🌷

Hello fellow Blitzers! How are your #MonthlyMagazineBlitz efforts going so far this month? I‘m about halfway through my pile so far, but I have a long car ride tomorrow and I‘m hoping to finish a bunch of them.

Hello, fellow Blitzers! Time to gather up our March issues, no matter what year they‘re from. Happy reading!
#MonthlyMagazineBlitz

How‘s everyone doing with their February piles? I still have a couple more issues to read (or more likely glance) through by Thursday.

You know I have to thank you @julieclair because of this challenge I cleared out my library/office so there is no extras anymore and everything is filed from years of not getting to it (and just sitting in overwhelming piles). All to find the magazines I know were buried. Here is my January stack! I included my Girl Scout magazine since it my first cookie season. 😱 #MonthlyMagazineBlitz

Giving some magazines a go when can‘t concentrate on a book can skim what interests me. Why not something new using Libby ! Range of ones to try interesting really. Our library uses borrow box for audio and ebooks and Libby for magazines

I know I‘ve hyped this magazine before but this issue is special to me, because I wrote a piece for it! I‘ve not written much for publication so it was exciting to receive this today. I recommend this magazine for all readers…it‘s delightful.

This is my new favorite magazine!!

I am alive honest.. just got busy busy...

Gee why can't we use anon for no book posts..

I guess I am out of the loop

I love magazines but I rarely read them anymore. I recently found these bookish ones at Barnes & Noble that I‘m looking forward too. It‘s been good timing for magazines as I know I won‘t be reading much these next two months because life has once again decided to throw me a major plot twist.

Two of my favourite things this Christmas: a great new artisan mug and a new-to-me magazine (this is only the second ever issue). Anyone else ever heard of it?

Enjoyed all the bits of information I got from this, especially the ice cream YUM but it was interesting reading it right after the Stopping Pandemics issue since many of the topics overlapped. It's interesting what things aren't mentioned in this one, such as the women of color and where they were left with the new 19th amendment, which I felt the other #magazine covered more thoroughly #nationalgeographic #nonfiction

#awesomeaugust @andrew65

Someone asked if I read all the #magazines at work, I pick up the ones that look interesting which to me are usually #nationalgeographic titles 😊 This is a #history one, it's interesting, if it wasn't for these women, I would be able to vote and yet I (embarrassingly) know nothing about this history 🙃🙃 #nonfiction

#awesomeaugust @andrew65

This is the #magazine with the epidemics graph, I actually enjoyed it. It took me a little longer than I thought to go through it, I'm debating buying it for my bujo but not sure 🤔🤔 #nonfiction #articles #nationalgeographic #covidinspired #pandemics

Remember I had a goal to read more articles this year? Yeah me neither 😂 Decided to finally pick up some magazines after burning through novels and I found this graph really interesting, hadn't realized that epidemics were so prevalent 😮😮 (even though it makes sense, I just never thought of it). tbh I'm curious to learn more! #nationalgeographic #magazine #covidinspired

Article 2 of 2020: HECK YEAH NO MORE PENALTY 😂😂😂 #time #taxseason

1st article of 2020: I hadn't realized the virus wasn't "new". Working at the airport, my family has been worried but I've just upped my precautions, washing my hands more frequently, and especially after I interact with someone who seems sick. Hopefully things get better!

"...quickly identified the pathogen as a coronavirus related to the virus that caused the...SARS outbreak...in 2002" #time

So this is a magazine I bought from #Califlair, an fanart artist I found a couple years ago when I was in the #OwarinoSeraph #fandom and now she's made this #magazine with original work!! And it's BEAUTIFUL. It also features other #artists and some #writers and has art #tutorials 😸😸😸
