monalyisha Smart choices for your desert island reads; quantity and quality. 😉 And I don‘t actually know what your job is! 5d
monalyisha Perfect answer to the last question, too, by the way! 5d

While I've collected most of my books due to loving history and information, I must admit, there's several I've gotten due to nostalgia.

1. My reading goal is 48 books. The last few years I've set it at that and it allows for wiggle room.
Hosting challenges #FoodandLit and #RiseUpReads

2. I don't have a specific book, but I've enjoyed reading the books I already own so I want to continue that

This was a great one to read at the end of the year to learn about voices I may not be familiar with and set me up for a really diverse reading year in 2025! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #diversebooks

Another shameless attempt to import this Instagram trend to Litsy 🤣🤣

I just love making aesthetically pleasing pictures with my books!

These are all books about books 😊😇

Ruthiella Nothing wrong with doubling up your Litsy and Instagram pics! That‘s efficient. 👍 7mo
RaeLovesToRead @Ruthiella Once I've got it all lined up I might as well post it everywhere haha 😁😇 7mo

I love this idea. My 5 are somewhat obvious ones, but I can't help it. I love them. Make your list & share!
*“It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they elected the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York.“
*“All this happened, more or less.“
*“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”
*“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.“

4/5 ⭐️ This was a really fun read-behind the eyes of Rafi, a teenage stalker. It was like a young female version of “You.”
