Chasing_Pages That would be fun. I can definitely do the 12th. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m most interested in the talks on the 11th, 13th (eve) and 14th (all). I have to say that the event on the 12th isn‘t all that interesting to me. But if it‘s the only time we can all meet up, I‘ll give it a shot. @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Robothugs @Chasing_Pages 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m interested in the 14 too, all. LOL @BarbaraTheBibliophage 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa But I can definitely see that the 12, 13, or 14 would probably be best for a group get together, since that‘s the weekend. 6y
Chasing_Pages @BarbaraTheBibliophage I would really like to go the 11th as well, I might be able to switch with someone at work. But right now I work every night but the 12th. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Chasing_Pages Let‘s see how other folks weigh in before you switch your work (if possible). 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Why am I not surprised?? 🤪🤪👏🏻👏🏻 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage Right! I could use some hopey changey after I finish reading Fear 😂 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Good point!! Of course, it‘s next month, so we might read a few books in between too! 😍 6y
Librarybelle Darn! That‘s the same weekend I have a conference. This happen last year too! The weeknights are out for me due to work commitments. Have fun to those of you who can make it. Thanks for tagging me, Barbara! 6y
Robothugs @BarbaraTheBibliophage We could use the apps GroupMe or Line and make a chat for those that want to go. Then maybe we can try for a day for the majority, but others can still meet up on other days if they happen to work for them instead of that one? Just a suggestion! It‘s easier than sifting through these comments! (edited) 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Robothugs Good idea! I haven‘t used either app, but have had good experiences with Slack for organizing and off-Litsy communication. 6y
Robothugs I like the layout of GroupMe but totally up to you! If Slack is already what you all use I‘ll get on it. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @corycatelyn @Robothugs @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Chasing_Pages We started a group in the GroupMe app. There‘s a poll to vote on which event we are most likely to attend. (We should tag everyone again, I guess.) Click here to join: https://groupme.com/join_group/43870940/sASzGm 6y
corycatelyn @BarbaraTheBibliophage I can meet up during the on the 11th or 12th. I work the 13th and 14th. I'm not planning on attending the events. I'm up for whatever...just let me know! 😊 6y
Cinfhen Fun!!! 6y

Hey #CentralPALittens - if you‘re looking for something bookish to do next weekend, check out the Harrisburg Book Festival. Everything‘s happening at The Midtown Scholar, and there‘s a nice mix of events...

https://www.midtownscholar.com/festival-programs

BarbaraTheBibliophage I'm going to try to get there for the Sunday talks. They sounded the most interesting to me! 7y
TsundokuAleax @BarbaraTheBibliophage I might be able to swing in! After some crazy weeks, next weekend is kinda calm. Yau 7y

Graciouswarriorprincess I wished that I still lived in Maryland. This was one of my favorite bookstores. Have fun. 7y
CaringLoudly I‘m going to try to make it out Saturday afternoon!! 7y
BooksForYears @CaringLoudly I‘m planning to be there most of Saturday afternoon, so maybe we‘ll run into each other 7y
Librarybelle Oh! I'll have to look at the schedule. I'm leaving for a conference next weekend, so I wonder if I can fit a stop in among all my errand running... Thanks for the notice! 7y

Thanks to a great meet up of #CentralPALittens at the Midtown Scholar, we both came home with a new pile of both new releases and used books. Thanks again for introducing us to a great new bookstore, and we really enjoyed meeting you all. @LiteraryinLititz @BooksForYears @wanderer15

ReadingEnvy Oh the Irby is so fun! 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ReadingEnvy Hahaha, two of the other people at the meet-up said the same thing when they saw me carrying it around! (edited) 7y

Hey #CentralPALittens - Are we ready for another meetup? Previously, we talked about checking out The Midtown Scholar Bookstore in Harrisburg. I took a look at their July calendar, and these dates would be the best options:

7/8 (Sat), 7/9 (Sun), 7/16 (Sun), 7/23 (Sun), 7/30 (Sun)

Would any of these work for you? Also, if I missed anyone, feel free to tag them. Thanks!!

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Sounds good to me, let me know what date looks good for everyone. 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I'm not available on 7/8 or 7/30. But the others work! 8y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Wow! That looks like such a cool bookstore!! 8y

Based on the responses, our #CentralPALittens meetup at The Midtown Scholar will be Sunday, July 9th.

LiteraryinPA @BooksForYears The 9th at 2:00 works for me! Looking forward to exploring a new bookish place! 7y

BooksForYears @avgeyer @Robothugs We'll miss you, but hope to see you the next time around! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I'm battling a migraine today. I've had so much vertigo lately that I don't want to risk more. The two icky things sometimes happen together. I am completely bummed. 😰😰 7y
Robothugs @BarbaraTheBibliophage That's awful ☹️ feel better! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Robothugs Thanks. I'm hoping that staying quiet will help. So sorry to miss seeing you and our group! 7y
Robothugs @BarbaraTheBibliophage I won't be able to make it for health reasons, too. Hoping for a better day come the 30th! 7y
BooksForYears @BarbaraTheBibliophage Hope you're feeling better soon! 7y
Librarybelle @BooksForYears I won't be able to make it either today...real life happened this morning and threw my schedule out of whack! Please keep me in the loop for the next time. And @BarbaraTheBibliophage and @Robothugs - I'm planning to go on the 30th. I'm catching the train in Harrisburg but would love to coordinate with you guys too. Feel better! 7y
Robothugs @Librarybelle we'll be catching the train in Lancaster! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Librarybelle @Robothugs Yes let's all ride together on the train. Mr. B may come along to meet up with our son also. 👏🏻👏🏻 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @BooksForYears Thank you. If it hadn't been for this recent vertigo I would have come up anyway. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes much better. So sad I missed the meet up! Isn't Midtown Scholar amazing? 7y
