Welcome to Litsy!

After announcing the 6 fabulous books for #camplitsy24, Meg, Barbara and I thought you might like to see the 10 books that ‘nearly‘ made the list. (In no particular order)

James was by far our runaway winner, with 4 in 10 Littens voting for it. Next were Bear and Clear, with around a quarter of you voting for each one.

The other 3 winning books gained just a few more votes than these 10, so a close-run race!

We‘d love to hear your thoughts!

I‘m thrilled to be hosting your August #camplitsy24 books!

First, we‘ll be heading off to Ireland to read about 4 gifted sisters in The Alternatives, then heading to the Pacific Northwest to read Bear, which was our second most voted for book, after James.

We‘ll confirm all of the dates for each book shortly.

That‘s all 6 books revealed now, what do you think of our final two, and of the full selection for camp? 🏕️

I am incredibly excited to be your counselor for July! We‘ll start off with the #1 vote getter, James, and if you haven‘t read Everett, be ready to leap into his backlist after this because he‘s wonderful. Then very appropriately we‘ll move on to Miranda July‘s All Fours. An artist on the edge? Yes, please! I hope you‘ll join us for one or both books! #CampLitsy24

Meg, Helen and I are so glad you are as thrilled as we are about #CampLitsy24: 74 people voted, which is a new record!
Clear will be our first June read, followed by Butter. We hope you‘re happy with these first books!
I‘ll be your host in June & will get back to you with the reading schedule.

@Chelsea.Poole was it so CLEAR that Clear would be one of the selected books 🤣? You were right: it will be our first June read, followed by Butter. We hope you‘re happy with these first books!

I am amazed at all of the nominations for #camplitsy this year. This was a really tough decision, and there are so many more I‘m just as interested in reading. But after spending an enjoyable afternoon reading as many blurbs as I could, I wound up voting for these 6. I wonder if any of them will wind up on our camp roster. We‘ll see!

Thank you so much to our hardworking hosts!

Well that was difficult! (I mean that in the best way!) 😆 Just picked 6 books off the long list for #CampLitsy24
So many great books to pick from & so many I wasn‘t familiar with-which is kind of the beauty of it. Can‘t wait to see what‘s picked!

Check out @BarbaraBB ‘s posts for the list & voting link if you haven‘t yet & want to get your vote in.

Thank you @BarbaraBB @Megabooks & @squirrelbrain for all of the work that goes into camp!🏕️

You know it‘s serious work when I pull out my computer for Litsy. Worked on my shortlist for #CampLitsy24 and my votes are in! It was hard to narrow down. I‘m curious what the shortlist will be!
Mad props to whoever prepared the spreadsheet - that made it much easier!
