pick5 stars!! This is my second time reading this…..books are kinda dated but it so accurately describes the slow descent into collecting that can happen. If you like books about books - you‘ll like this. Reminds me of 84,Charring Cross Road.
A mini #bookhaul from the remainders/discount bookstore. I was super excited to find these as 3 out of 4 were on my wishlist for years.
Clockwise from top L:
1) Stream System - Collected Short Fiction of Gerald Murnane
2) Territory of Light - Yuko Tsushima (I think the cover is pretty but it doesn't show up well in the pic)
3) Looking for Mr Goodbar - Judith Rossner
4) The Fortnight in September - R.C. Sherriff
These prism glasses allow me to read in bed without straining my neck. Where have these beauties been all my life? 👀

So, @TheSpineView posted some incredible reading journal pages. I asked her if she wouldn't mind sharing them with me; she graciously said she would. I'm thinking she'll email them to me or mail the sheets--something like that. What does she do instead? She makes me my very own journal. Binds it and all. It arrived today, Lisa, and I am in awe or your creative talents. I adore it, and I can't wait to write in it! Thank you, my friend. 😍💜😘
Thanks for the tag @BarbaraBB this is my #Top23of23 ! I downloaded a new photo app on my phone that somehow doesn't go up to 23 grids (doesn't it understand our Litsy needs?!) so I gave up on the photo collage 😆 And I feel bad for not including the translators above. 2023 was a fantastic reading year 💜 I even had to leave out so many, like the Edith Wharton rereads & some of the Furrowed Middlebrow & Golden Age mystery club titles that I liked.
Netgalley sent me a gift for Christmas. It‘s a reading journal. I don‘t know if I‘m going to use it or not or if I‘m going to keep up with it. I‘m probably not the only person they‘ve sent this reading journal to but I appreciate the fact that they thought about me enough to send me a gift. It‘s a nice gesture.
I almost forgot to post my points for #TeamKeepinItReal. I‘ve been working so much and fighting a nasty cold on top of it, so I‘ve only managed 749. But I‘m having fun and hope to really get some points the rest of the month. #Scarathlon2023

Thanks for the tag, @BarbaraBB @youneverarrived !
Feel free to share yours @Bookwomble @Leftcoastzen @Cathythoughts @quietjenn @quietlycuriouskate @Graywacke
Had a bit of a slump in April but May got me back on track! I‘ve realised when I‘m in a slump it‘s chunksters that get me out of it - something meaty to really get lost in. What gets you back on track?
