Welcome to Litsy!

#24in48 #Hour18Challenge #Romance @24in48 📚💕
I average around 150 books a year, and I‘d say around 70 a 80% of my reading (dependsing on the year) is romance! I snuck a Harlequin romance off my mother‘s bookshelf at a very young (probably too young) age, and I was hooked! I started buying them for 10 cents a pop from my local library, and there was no stopping me!😂 #Romantsy #24in48ReadAThon #Romancelandia

Hour 18 of the #24in48readathon and I wish I'd waited to post my previous post! 😅 It would've been perfect for this challenge. The book I picked doesn't count for the #hour18challenge but here's why I chose it. I've ashamedly been very judgy of romance novels in the past. I'd like to think I'm a better reader than I was. I picked up the paperback in my picture thinking it was a romance novel and used to hide and read it. See Comments⬇️

It‘s too late at night to run around the house looking for #DiverseBooks but I did find some on the nearest shelves. Most of the LGBTQ+ representation are in my SFF books upstairs. SFF is pretty good for diverse characters.

I‘m going to take a break from Americanah now and read Maus, so it occurs to me that my #24in48 reading is a lot more diverse this time around. I think I somehow ended up with all white males last time.

Here's some #diversebooks from my TBR! I try to diversify my diverse reading with a mix of authors from many different groups and with both memoirs and fiction. #24in48 #weneeddiversebooks #hour18challenge @24in48

I try to keep my nightstand pretty clear. My inner OCD prefers it this way 😉 I did do a stack for the #24in48 readathon, though. There are several longs novels here so I'm hoping to get through a couple at least over the remaining 18 hours.

Some of my nightstand stack... 😖 Two of the books are Ron Chernow tomes, one is a huge collected LOTR, and there are also 2 HP illustrated editions there, mostly because all of those books are too way heavy for me to really carry elsewhere so I read a bit of them before bed. I also spy a book my mom lent me, my next read for #backpackeurope when my travel delay ends, and some currents I carry around/am reading for #24in48 @24in48 #Hour18challenge

Since I have only recently moved, there hasn‘t been much chance to populate my bedside table with books.
Currently aside from an extension cable for my chargers, it holds my kindle, and the envelope containing my #PostalBookGroup #LitsyAroundTheWorld book and notebook, which I‘m hoping to finish soon :)

#24in48 #hour18challenge This is the only book on my nightstand, primarily because most of my books are on my Kindle, but also because I keep essential oils and a diffuser there also, and with a cement floor I don‘t want to accidentally drop and break any of them on my floor. I like to read a few pages from this book from time to time - helps me connect with my Swedish roots 😊
