Halp! I keep seeing hashtags for reading challenges, book exchanges, and other stuff, but i have no idea how to join/participate. How does that work around here? #SecretSantaGoesPostal #WinterSolsticeBookExchange #LivesUnderARock

buecherwurm Normally the litten organizing an event will post some link where you can sign up. Some people will repost it and like this the whole thing will spread. Just keep your eyes open! 7y
JenP Yes, make sure to follow some of folks who organize such things too. There is usually a link posted for sign ups. @BookishMarginalia usually does the secret Santa exchanges. @MrBook @Avanders @BookBabe are hosting the current one. 7y
nightwitch Thanks @buecherwurm and @JenP ! That helps a lot ❤❤😊😅 7y

Dolly Following lots of people helps. 🙄😊 7y
MrBook @nightwitch Excellent question! Thank you for the tag, @JenP ☺️! As @buecherwurm and @Dolly pointed out, it's kind of a hit and miss sort of thing. The more amazing Littens you follow, the more likely you'll come across announcements and shares. Some Littens are very good at helping to get the word out and participating, including: @LibrarianRyan @RaimeyGallant @Avanders @Jess7 @MinDea @abbsinwonderland @TricksyTails . Who else, Littens? 7y
TricksyTails Hello! Hello! Thank you for the tag @MrBook! Welcome to Litsy! What everyone above recommends is great advice. Follow the hashtags and the people already recommended. @JenlovesJT47 and I are doing a #MyBloodyValentineSwap if you want to join us for that. Sign up ends Friday. My cohost also will be doing another graphic novel swap in March so follow her if that interests you. @Clwojick has a lot of fun #swap ideas happening soon. 7y
Dolly Also, when you see a “#” link you think looks interesting, click on it then scroll down until you find the original post to get the details. It may take a little practice. See if you can find the original posting for the contest link in my most recent post. “The Lost City of the Monkey God” 7y
TricksyTails Some other fun people to follow who are always in the know are @MinDea @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @DebinHawaii @TheKidUpstairs @MaleficentBookDragon @Mommamanzi @4thhouseontheleft @Tiffy_Reads @teebe. That's a good place to start! Hope you have fun! Happy you're here. 👏😊📚 7y
TricksyTails @Sarah83 Is doing a #LitsyClassics #readalong. Sign up is closed but you can still join discussions and #buddyreads for the different books. If fantasy is your genre, we just started an #EpicBuddyRead of #TheNameoftheWind. Never too late to join. At the start of the year I'll be doing a #StephenKing and #TerryPratchett buddy read in publication order. 7y
Jess7 Thanks for the shout out @MrBook !! welcome @nightwitch - @MinDea and I host a monthly #LitsyBuddyRead from our personal Litsy accounts and post the reading schedules on the @LitsyBuddyRead account. I also host a monthly photo challenge. This month it‘s called #ReindeerReads. i have a daily prompt list posted on my page and many have reposted it too. Just search that hashtag. Also @MinDea hosts a monthly #booktoscreen discussion. 🤗 (edited) 7y

nightwitch Wow!! Thanks @Dolly @MrBook @TricksyTails @Jess7 and @LibrarianRyan for all the help! I really appreciate the warm welcome ❤😊😁 7y
teebe I'm hosting the horror edition of the #TravellingBook. There's also other genres hosted by other Littens. Horror still has spots open, the book is 7y
teebe Also, there are also postal book clubs, where a group of Littens each send a book and a journal and it rotates until everyone gets their books back. These take longer and sign ups are rarer than gift swaps so it's definitely hit or miss. 7y
