Welcome to Litsy!

I'm in the midst of that first-of-the-year optimism where I start a bunch of books all at once! Besides the tagged book, which I will hopefully be finishing today, I'm working chapter-a-day on five(!) others... the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead - The Story Girl (a reread for me, but it's been a really long time since I read it); I'm #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights with the #PemberLittens (and enjoying it more than I did in junior high haha); my ⬇

My 2021 in Books:
▪️18042 pages over 45 books
▪️Average book length 400 pages (guess I like chunkier ones)
▪️Average rating is 4.1 ⭐️ (makes sense…I generally like things)
▪️All 12 #sundaybuddyread
▪️8 #bookspin & 7 #doublespin
▪️reread the Harry Potter series in #potteraday
▪️Met my goals of 3 books a month and 36 books a year but missed my goal of getting a bingo

Best Year Yet!

Gonna keep the same goals because it was a good life balance. 📚

#4thBookof2021 I really enjoy Lisa Gardner‘s books. This was one of a few 5⭐️ books from #April.
#5thBookof2021 Quite a few 4 1/2⭐️reads in May but only one 5⭐️. I listened to this for #PotterADay and Jim Dale captivates me every time. ⚡️

Here is that TBR, not all of the 9 books can be seen. My theme is magic, and DieAReader and I will host some fun for that🙏🏾

Thank you to our Team Captains, you have brought new meaning to the end of the years🥳

This was just so excellent. It should be required reading in every middle and high school. The graphic novel edition takes Snyder's text on how tyrannical governments get power -- and how to resist -- and makes it even more accessible. Definitely going to be gifting this to my nephew!

Side note: I was reading this during #potteraday and saw so many parallels! HP + On Tyranny would make an excellent course together.

Ready. Too ready. I honestly feel like I am heading out for a vacation, thank you, Littens🥳

Goal this weekend is attack that afgan and finish the remaining 170 pages in the featured book by end of Saturday. Sunday I hope to read The Turn of the Screw in full👻

I stayed up past my bedtime to finish this one. While this is a reread for me, since so much time has past, it was just as riveting (maybe more so!). As an adult this quote stands out so much more to me now. Thank you @Linsy for hosting #potteraday

We did it! Seven books, a chapter a day. Thanks for going on this journey with me!

1. I recently listened to Witch, Please and they pointed out that Snape and Lily's story is a lot like Helena Ravenclaw and the Bloody Baron's. Blew my mind! What do y'all think?
2. Did you read the train station scene with Dumbledore as literal or metaphorical?
3. Is the Elder Wand actually important in the end? Or is it just their belief?

I‘ve said it before, and I‘ll say it again - I am so thankful and pleased that I decided to do #potteraday. The last book was just incredible and the whole series enlightened me in ways the movies never could. Thanks to @Linsy for organizing this! ⚡️♥️⚡️♥️
