mcctrish Am I the only one blindsided by this proposal ? 15h

AllDebooks @mcctrish No, me too. It's a bit ick, proposing when she's scared and vulnerable. 15h

willaful He's hopped up on heroic goofballs. 11h

Crinoline_Laphroaig @willaful 😆 10h

lil1inblue @mcctrish No. No, you're not. I actually said "What the F#$k" aloud. Who proposes while being held hostage after a suspicious death?!?!?! What is happening in this book! ? 5h

Tell Me about Yourself: Six Steps for Accurate and Artful Self-Definition | Holley M. Murchison

Just posting a quick hi to Litsy members. 🙋‍♀️ I joined here after looking for a laid-back and fun reading platform. Knowing most reading challenges begin with the New Year, December seemed like a good month to start.

About me: I volunteer at an animal shelter and only work part-time. My reading preferences vary depending on my interests or mood but I often seek out nonfiction, classics, fantasy or HF books. I also enjoy music and hiking.

Dilara Hello and welcome to Litsy! 💐 😃 2d

lil1inblue Welcome to Litsy! I just love it here! 😍 2d

PaperbackPirate Welcome! Check out @LitsyWelcomeWagon for some helpful links! 2d

TieDyeDude Welcome! Here is a link with some tips for Litsy. It's kinda old, but most of the information is still relevant: https://raimeygallant.com/2017/10/31/litsytips/
The app is more or less defuncted now. Some of the accounts listed on the page aren't active, but @LitsyEvents is a good one to follow. ✌ 2d

Deblovestoread Welcome! You‘ve arrived at the best social media destination IMHO 2d

LiseWorks If you are interested in having some Litsy pen pals, there is a small group #LitsySnailMailClub and you can sigh up @Litsysnailmail @yahoo.com 2d

dabbe Welcome to Litsy! You're going to love it here! Check out @LitsyEvents for all the wonderful stuff that goes on here. ♥️💙💚 1d

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome, plus the useful advice. 💚
How kind. I should get the hang of things with all your friendly help! ☀ 1d

BarkingMadRead The #hashtagbrigade reads different classics every month, a chapter a day! We get very silly, it‘s lots of fun! Not sure what you like to read! I also lead the #losersclub we are reading Stephen king in order. This month is Christine 1d

TheBookgeekFrau Welcome to Litsy!! 👋🏼 Get ready to have your TBR grow at an incredible rate 😂 1d

kezzlou85 Welcome to Litsy. Its a lovely place to be. 1d

BookmarkTavern Welcome to Litsy! 🎉🎉🎉 1d

do-re-mi Thank you all so much. 🙂 💚
@TheBookgeekFrau @kezzlou85 @BookmarkTavern
@BarkingMadRead - I'll definitely be checking out #hashtagbrigade. The new TV adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo is on my radar so it would be fun to read the book with a group. 🤗 1d

BarkingMadRead Ohhhh I can‘t wait for that! I actually read the Count this year, and loved it so much! I can‘t wait for a reread with the brigade! 1d

BookishMarginalia Welcome! This is a small welcoming community not driven by algorithmic logic 🤓 1d

Ruthiella So far this is like no other Golden Age mystery I have read. It‘s kinda wild. 2d

lil1inblue @Ruthiella So wild. I have no idea what to expect! 2d

eeclayton @Ruthiella @lil1inblue I agree, each chapter is quite random. I wonder when things will start to make sense 😂 2d

Bookwormjillk @ruthiella @lil1inblue @eeclayton so wild and random. 1d

mcctrish @Ruthiella @lil1inblue @eeclayton @Bookwormjillk this story is bonkers!!! I legit say “what on earth is going on?” I assume they want the wallet that been remodeled ? The lining cut out but what else of significance hasn‘t been shared with us 1d

Daisey So random and entertaining! 1d

Ruthiella Sh** just got real. Is this a whodunnit or a hostage situation? 😱 2d

lil1inblue @Ruthiella I was so not expecting a hostage situation! 😮#dontmesswithbeethoven 2d

Bookwormjillk Worst party ever 2d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk absolutely #worstpartyever 2d

mcctrish Hopefully the gas is in containers and no one lights a match 2d

AllDebooks Honestly, all I see is David Niven saying, 'Now, see here'. It's all very jolly hockeysticks, ain't it? 2d

willaful I suppose the missing item is the mysterious wallet... or is that just what they're EXPECTING us to think! 2d

ElizaMarie Way way ahead! So I‘m gonna refrain from comments - excited to read yalls 2d

Bklover @Bookwormjillk That‘s for sure!!💀 2d

@Alldebooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

My tummy didn't like the Mexican food it had yesterday, so ... Kraft Mac 'N Cheese to the rescue. Probably still my #1 favorite food. Eating this now, and then gonna hygge in 13 minutes by catching up with the tagged book for the #hashtagbrigade. Enjoy your Sunday evening, everyone. ♥️💚💙

Ruthiella @Texreader Me too. Pure comfort food. It also tastes best eaten directly out of the pan with a wooden spoon. 😋 3d

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella yes! 3d

TheKidUpstairs @Ruthiella so true!! 3d

AnnCrystal Yum, yum good 😋👍🏼💝. 3d

AllDebooks A hug in a bowl. X 3d

5feet.of.fury I like a home made Mac, but sometimes all you need is the blue box powdered cheese 🧀 3d

dabbe @Ruthiella @TheBookHippie Oh heck yes! ♥️💙💚 3d

dabbe @AnnCrystal It was! ♥️💙💚 3d

dabbe @AllDebooks #perfectmetaphor ♥️💙💚 3d

dabbe @5feet.of.fury Homemade mac is living the highest life, but the blue box sure comes in handy! ♥️💙💚 3d

Mark Twain | Ron Chernow

Back again for the 6th annual #ChunksterChallenge! Is there a giant book you‘ve always wanted to read but have been intimidated by its size? Tackle it in 2026 and enjoy the bragging rights! Start gradually with stepped-up categories— or join me in diving right into a Colossal Chunkster! (Tagged is the book I‘ll be starting on Jan.1.)

#ChunksterChallenge2026

LitsyEvents

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🥳🪄📚💝...I managed to read two for 2025, so glad this challenge is continuing into 2026 🥳📚. 3d

Deblovestoread Yay! I‘ll be tackling this one with the #HashtagBrigade to start

The Count Of Monte Cristo

Ruthiella Fantastic! I will hopefully 🤞 finish my Junior Chunkster this month for a total of eight this year and I am stoked to continue with this challenge next year.

Jess861 I'm trying to get through my Junior Chunkster this year - but it is a slow go of it!

The Well of Ascension: Book Two of Mistborn

dabbe I have yet to figure out what my big chunkster will be for 2026, but I know what my one in 2025 will be by the end of the month: LES MIS. Finally. Thanks for hosting us again, m'dear! 💚♥️💙 3d

Amiable @dabbe Isn‘t it the best feeling to finally take down one of the biggies? 🙌🏼 Great job! 🎉 3d

Amiable @AnnCrystal I‘m always thrilled to share the chunkster love! ❤️ ❤️ 3d

Amiable @Deblovestoread That‘s a great read —you‘re going to love it ! 3d

Amiable @Ruthiella 8!! Fantastic work! 🎉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 3d

Amiable @Jess861 One page at a time gets you to the end! You can do it. 🫶🏼 3d

dabbe @Amiable “Take down“ for sure! 💚♥️💙 3d

zezeki My goal is to read

Jonathan Strange et Mr Norrell: roman

Amiable @zezeki Yay! You can do it ! 🫶🏼 3d

Cuilin @amiable @dabbe I‘m also trying to figure out my next year‘s chunkster. I have a few on the list. What‘s on yours? (edited) 3d

Amiable @Cuilin Definitely “Mark Twain” as my Colossal Chunkster. I‘m thinking some of the books I have for the #USPresidents challenge may meet the page counts for the Mini and/or Junior categories. 3d

Cuilin @Amiable I‘m joining in for the #USPresidents challenge too but may read smaller books for those or mini chunksters. On my list I have A Suitable Boy, The Decameron, and Moby Dick among others. 🤨 3d

Amiable @Cuilin Oh, I really liked “A Suitable Boy”! If my opinion sways you in any way. 😀 2d
