UKLitsyMeetUp

This is such a nice idea -I‘m loving seeing everyone‘s reading year!

This year my reading got social, thanks in no small part to Litsy. We had the first #UKLitsyMeetUp back in February (feels like light years ago!), I finished a whole readalong 🎉 (just 1 tho!), the folks of #jbuk saw me through a bit of a trying summer, then postal bookclubs (writing in books 😱), & a booking for #litsyreadingretreat. Plan for next year-even more actual reading!

TrishB I know - seems like ages! 6y

rockpools Oops! I forgot the # #festivebookishbox - sorry @erzascarletbookgasm 🤦🏻‍♀️ 6y

Oryx @Mitch it's a gift and a curse 😉 7y

Oryx @TrishB yes definitely, we'll have to schedule when there is no football on 🙂 7y

TrishB Cool 👍🏻 7y

Libby1 AAAAHHHH! Maybe we should plan a Scottish Litsy meet up? It‘s easier for people like me in Northern Ireland to get to Scotland, and people from all over Britain could come, too. Maybe Glasgow? 7y

Oryx @Libby1 yes a Glasgow meet up would be good. I'd be up for that 7y

Weaponxgirl That's a great haul! 7y

@TrishB I loved it. Please thank your daughter for her great recommendation. It did hurt my heart a lot, but it was lovely at the same time. I've passed on to my mum to read next.

Today's #dogsoflitsy book model is Ben. He's fifteen, likes cookies and sniffs.

TrishB She‘ll be so pleased you liked it 😁, it certainly does hurt your heart! Ben is gorgeous ❤️ 7y

Cinfhen I love that your daughter is sharing book suggestions @TrishB 💕💕 7y

jhod Yay for #uklitsymeetup!! 7y

Frankenstein in Baghdad: A Novel | Ahmed Saadawi

Finally getting a chance to post my #bookhaul from London last weekend. Most of these are from Foyles, One of Us is Lying is from Daunt, and A List of Cages is from the #UKLitsyMeetup book exchange!
I‘m nearly done with One of Us is Lying. Which one should I read next?

mayusteapot The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, absolutely. So much fun, so many feels! 7y

eraderneely @mayusteapot I‘m leaning that way. Sooo many people are talking about it! 7y

TrishB @Cinfhen I‘m about 3/4 of the way through current read so should be done by the end of the day. Happy to start later today/tomorrow if ok with you? Or another time if you have to many on the go! 7y

TrishB @RachelO I will! She‘s very shy with new people but really wanted to come. (edited) 7y

Cinfhen I‘m ok with reading a few books at a time...I can start tomorrow...you‘re a fast reader so you might get through it before me, but it‘s all good. 7y

TrishB @Cinfhen sounds like a plan 👍🏻 7y

Caroline2 Ahhh it looks fab!! I'm sorry I couldn't make it, instead I spent the afternoon waiting for the asthma nurse to come out with the nebuliser for Leo! I hope we can all meet up again soon tho! ❤️ 7y

TrishB @Caroline2 hope Leo is ok ❤️ 7y

Velvetfur @Caroline2 I have asthma and I've had a nebuliser - I hope Leo feels ok now, bless him x 7y

Velvetfur By the way, everyone - I love how you're all holding up your current reads! So cute! 7y

Ms_T Great picture 😃 7y

Caroline2 @TrishB he's better today thanks Trish! Great photo! 👍🏻 7y

Caroline2 @Velvetfur he's better today thanks! Yes, sadly he needs the nebuliser quite a lot! But it always works so that's the important thing! 👍🏻 7y

Velvetfur @Caroline2 Quite a lot? Sorry to hear that 🙁 How old is he? 7y

Caroline2 @Velvetfur he's just turned 4yrs old! ❤️ 7y

Velvetfur @Caroline2 Aaww 🙁 Well hopefully he will grow out of it, I've heard childhood asthma is different and little ones can grow out of it. Good luck to him, and you! X 7y

TrishB @Caroline2 good to hear 😁💕 7y

alisiakae Awww, love this!! ❣️❣️❣️ 7y

laurieluna Really hope I can make the next one! 7y

scripturient Hey guys, As I‘m in the UK quite frequently it would be lovely if you tagged me for any future meet-ups. I might just be able to make it and would love to meet you. 😊😘 7y

TrishB @scripturient I don‘t think there‘s any firm plans yet but we‘ll certainly try and remember to tag all interested! 7y

scripturient @TrishB Thank you! 😘 7y

The London Eye Mystery | Siobhan Dowd

Had a lovely time at the #UKLitsyMeetUp! I was wracked with anxious nerves but I went and it was such a great decision! I ended up forgetting my book to swap so i'll have to do better at remembering next time!
We went to a lovely Lebanese restaurant and then headed to Daunt books and had a good wonder. I ended up getting London Eye Mystery which I've been meaning to read forever!
The best part was just sitting around chatting! Thanks Littens! 😊

Nikki15 I‘m glad you all had a great time xx 7y

Sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to everyone, realised I needed to rush off to make sure I got on a train. Chaos at Euston, looked like nothing going for a while, but managed to get on one now. It was so lovely to meet you all! Looking forward to next one! @jhod @TrishB @daydreamin_star @RachelO @eraderneely @Magslhalliday
