Helen, help!!! This book is leaving me all sorts of confused 🤷🏼‍♀️ I‘m not following or enjoying....at page 74 and ready to bail 😬

squirrelbrain

Cinfhen I‘m a terrible buddyreader 😪 5y

squirrelbrain Oh dear Cindy! I‘ve only read about half of that, so now I‘m worried! I did confuse myself at the start trying to understand the family tree and then thought I‘d just go for it.... I‘ll have another go later today (maybe) but don‘t worry about bailing if you want to.... so many books, so little time! 5y

Cinfhen Keep me posted but for now I‘m putting it down @squirrelbrain 🤪 5y

TrishB 😂😂 did make me laugh anyway! 5y

TheAromaofBooks This post makes me feel like Litsy needs a special blurb type labeled “PANIC“ 😂 5y

erzascarletbookgasm 🙁 total bail or hibernation? 5y

Cinfhen That‘s a great new #hashtag @TheAromaofBooks #PANIC 5y

Cinfhen I think for now it‘s a #DeepHibernation @erzascarletbookgasm 😢😢😢 Hopefully my retention will return 🤞🏼 5y

Cinfhen Thanks @BarbaraBB 😘😘😘😘I think I peaked in 2004 😆 can‘t wait to see your party post 🥳🥳🥳 (edited) 5y

LeahBergen Seriously?? The early 2000s CANNOT be 20 years ago!! 😆😆 5y

Cinfhen Well @LeahBergen I do suck at math 😜 5y

LeahBergen Haha! But it IS pretty much twenty years. Gasp! 5y

Megabooks The late 2000s were 20 years ago! Everyone born before 1990 is over 30!! 🤪😳🤯 5y

Megabooks And I love your adorable family pics!! You all look fantastic and go Teen Mom!! 😘😘😍😍 5y

Librarybelle I officially feel old now! 😂 This is a great montage! 5y

Jerdencon The 2000s was when I got married, had my son, and graduated from grad school - one of the best decades of my life! Will post pics later! 5y

Cinfhen If YOU feel old @Librarybelle then I‘m ancient 🦕 5y

Cinfhen The early 00‘s were some great years for me as well @JennyM @CarolynM @Jerdencon 😊 5y

Librarybelle Haha! Definitely not ancient! I‘m still coming to terms with music I listened to back in 2000 getting grouped into “classic.” I know everyone experiences that... 5y

Chrissyreadit Sometimes I forget 2000 was 20 years ago.....it all feels like a blur to me😆 5y

Cinfhen Right @Chrissyreadit it does feel like a blur !?!!!!?! 5y

erzascarletbookgasm Wow! Beautiful family photos! And I remember liking Erin Brokovich! Time flies!! 5y

TrishB Cool collage and great pics ❤️ 5y

Crazeedi @Cinfhen great collage! I met my hubby in the early 00's!! 5y

SamAnne @Cinfhen So this is my first Litsy book discussion. How does it work? Do we all just post about it and #hashtag Case Histories? Or do we do it on a comment thread? Or? Thanks! 5y

Cinfhen We will actually be posting 5 discussion questions on Sunday @SamAnne to foster “genuine” book discussion 😂Friday & Saturday is more of a “social” aspect 😉 @BarbaraBB will be posting the questions on her page beginning at 1pmEST or 7pm CET feel free to join in whenever you have time 🤓 If you‘d like to comment/review on the book definitely post and hashtag on your own page 😊glad you‘re joining in! 5y

Cinfhen Thanks all/ it was really fun recalling the early aughts /I seemed to really favor reality TV and Disney Pixar films 😂@DebinHawaii @erzascarletbookgasm @TrishB @KarenUK @peaknit @Andrew65 @thereadingowlvina @Ruthiella @readordierachel @JaclynW @Crazeedi ❣️❣️❣️❣️ 5y

Cinfhen You got cut off @DebinHawaii sorry😘👆🏽 5y

peaKnit I recall seeing The Green Mile in early 2000, as I was really pg. and there was a commercial about “doing the cool whip” that we saw when I was in the hospital that we sang to Libby for years, she probably thought we were insane, heck, she still does! 😂 5y

Cinfhen So funny what stays with us!!! I think I might remember that cool whip commercial @peaknit 🤣🤣 5y

Mdargusch I tried to make a prompt for this party but to be honest, I was so much in survival mode with 4 teenagers, I did not partake in any of the trends. 🤪 5y

Cinfhen Yes @Mdargusch you definitely had your hands full!!! And we know you were strict according to @Reviewsbylola 😜 5y

Reviewsbylola @Mdargusch was too busy buying the trends for her four teenagers. 🤣🤣 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Great job! 6y

BarbaraBB @JanuarieTimewalker13 Are you in yet? You can still join for the next quarter! 6y

Cinfhen Woohoo❣️❣️❣️congrats 🥳 6y

JanuarieTimewalker13 @BarbaraBB I‘m terrible with challenges, but I admire other people who join in. Right now I feel like my whole life is a challenge😕 6y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Does it go by season? Are the summer prompts up yet? never mind, found them!! (edited) 6y

BarbaraBB @JanuarieTimewalker13 And do are you up to it? Or too many challenges right now?! 6y

andrew61 Great choices - i have seating arrangements somewhere, didn't think to try it. 6y

JanuarieTimewalker13 I may try summer-when is the start date? 6/22? 6y

BarbaraBB @JanuarieTimewalker13 I think you can start anytime but just to make sure I‘ll ask @Cinfhen ! 6y

Cinfhen Hi @JanuarieTimewalker13 You can join #Booked2019 whenever!! It‘s 24 prompts broken into 4 quarters but the goal is to read all 24 by Dec 31,2019. You might have read a bunch already without knowing. I‘ll look for the original 24 prompts and tag u. Just use #hashtag #Booked2019 when u post a review and tag me and my cohosts @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft We do a quarterly drawing for a $20 gift card each quarter 👇🏼 6y

Cinfhen And for every book read, no matter from which quarter/ season you earn a chance for the drawing. One book per prompt with a maximum of 24 entries! It‘s fun and no pressure 💞 6y

JanuarieTimewalker13 @Cinfhen ok, cool, thank you!! So if I have books I‘ve already read that fit, I should just go back and tag them? 6y

Cinfhen Yes @JanuarieTimewalker13 ❤️and I‘m sorry I forgot to search for the original prompts. I will try later today 6y

JanuarieTimewalker13 @Cinfhen No worries, I found them just below this post!! 6y

Cinfhen Oh that‘s great @JanuarieTimewalker13 🧡welcome to #booked2019 📚📚📚 6y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Mahalo!!🌸 6y

Devil's Arithmetic | Jane Yolen

I have met survivors from concentration camps, and my great grandparents were Orthodox Jews who immigrated in the early 1900‘s. So I am glad to share @Cinfhen ‘s link about Israel‘s National Holocaust Remembrance Day and a book that I always thought gave perspective. https://www.illuminatethepast.org/

Cinfhen I‘ve been meaning to read this book💔thanks for putting it back on my radar and thank you for sharing the link 🙏🏻 6y

LibrarianRyan @Cinfhen this was one of my favorites growing up. Made me a lifelong Yolan fan. 6y

Cinfhen Have either of you seen the controversial IG account that launched a few days ago @LibrarianRyan @Chrissyreadit it‘s called Eva.Stories It‘s based on an actual diary of a girl named Eva who was living in Hungry before & during the Nazi invasion. Told through IG stories it‘s a photo journal retelling of Eva‘s real experience. It‘s a powerful visual!! 6y

See All 7 Comments

Chrissyreadit @Cinfhen why is it. Controversial? @LibrarianRyan thanks for more info. I‘m going to look it up. 6y

Cinfhen Because some people feel using social media and making “Eva” a #hashtag is trivializing the Holocaust. That it marginalizes the true horror. I think it‘s a powerful teaching tool for this generation 🤷‍♀️ 6y

LibrarianRyan @Cinfhen I don't do instagram since it is owned by Facebook. But I had one for my library because you are correct, it is a great way to connect to the younger generation. Josh as an account, so I will take a peak when I get home. It sound interesting. 6y

Chrissyreadit @Cinfhen @LibrarianRyan I‘m watching it and am very impressed. And heartbroken. #neverforget 6y

Amazon Prime: The Essential Guide to Amazon Prime Membership - Get the Most Out of Instant Video, Music, Prime Shipping and the Kindle Lending Library | Frank Rodgers

#AnglophileApril I‘ve been a member of Amazon Prime for awhile but I‘m not sure why I failed to realize ALL THE READING benefits that go along with the membership. I just spent hours searching through the Kindle app #SuperMassiveBlackHole How did I not know this??? I haven‘t even checked out the music option🤪I‘m in serious magazine heaven 😇😇😇😇😇

Reviewsbylola, emilyhaldi, Mdargusch

paramegan i've got prime student and i have never heard about this!! omg i'm excited and i love muse so i'm geeking out over the hashtag #supermassiveblackhole 🤩 time to get busy!! 6y

TrishB I‘ve never used any of these either 🤷‍♀️ how long do you get to borrow? 6y

KatieB No such Prime benefits in Canada ☹ 6y

See All 19 Comments

Cinfhen Hahahahaha @megandemartini glad you like the #hashtag 🤟🏼I‘m not sure @TrishB I haven‘t figured that out yet....but I just “read” 3 magazines with my morning coffee ☕️ 😃 6y

Cinfhen Really @KatieB That doesn‘t seem right!!!! 🤬 6y

Crazeedi @TrishB @Cinfhen you can borrow up to 10 books/magazines at a time. If you go over 10, you have to send one back. Also the books do come and go, every months they drop a few, add a few. And then theres prime first read where you get to buy one book a month for $0 out of 5 different new ones before they list them to sell. 6y

Cinfhen That‘s so good to know @Crazeedi THANK YOU 🙏🏻 6y

Crazeedi @Cinfhen welcome! It's a great perk from Amazon prime. Go on Google and put in Amazon prime first reads, and also put in Amazon prime benefits and you will find the book/magazine info too 6y

Crazeedi @Cinfhen I can never find info when I go on app, LOL 6y

Cinfhen I‘m soooo tech “clueless” @Crazeedi so I need ALL the help I can get 😜 6y

Crazeedi @Cinfhen me too, I just muddle through 😉💞 6y

Mdargusch I go down the amazon black hole almost daily! 6y

TrishB I get the monthly free books - have just never tried any of the other perks @Crazeedi 6y

Reviewsbylola I‘m really bad at utilizing my Prime membership this way too. 6y

gradcat I just found them this past January... @TrishB you can borrow ten items for as long as you like, but you must turn one (or more) back in if you want something else...pretty much like a library, only with a limit on number of items. Oops, now I see that @Crazeedi put it all out there for you guys. I think it only started at the beginning of the year. 👍👌🏻👋 6y

Crazeedi @TrishB oh you must check out the ones you can borrow too, it's a great perk! 6y

Crazeedi @Reviewsbylola there are a lot of perks, and since we pay for them, it's only right we take advantage!!😉❣ 6y

Crazeedi @gradcat the borrowing from prime has been there quite some time! Longer than a year, because I found it right after I joined prime like 6 yrs ago. Glad you take advantage sister!! 6y

emilyhaldi I wish I liked reading from a kindle 🤓 6y
