Tears of the Silenced: An Amish True Crime Memoir of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Brutal Betrayal, and Ultimate Survival | Misty Griffin

pick

The nonfiction mood reading continues with a harrowing survivor story. Misty Griffin's journey to her current life is remarkable. You feel her frustration with how the Amish lifestyle protects repeat offenders from repercussions.

This was an intense read that was only possible to finish because I knew she got out. #nonfiction2024

Reggie I just read Christmas at the Amish Bakeshop this past December…..so do I want to read this?……. Stacked. 9mo

Zuhkeeyah Forgot to note that this was my #bookspin for February! @TheAromaofBooks 9mo

A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War: How J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis Rediscovered Faith, Friendship, and Heroism in the Cataclysm of 1914-18 | Joseph Loconte

Any other Android users having issues with the Litsy app?? It's been acting odd for the past couple of weeks. When I try to find it on the Google Play store, it doesn't come up, so I can try to update the app. The add text function is working but not like it normally does.

archaeolibrarianologist You may have to re-download. It was removed from the Play Store, but you can find it on third-party sites. Good luck! 👍 14mo

RebeccaRoo7 @archaeolibrarianologist thank you for the suggestion!! 13mo

Cursed | Thomas Wheeler

I've struggled to get motivated to read "Cursed" and I haven't a clue why. The plot is fast paced and the characters are fun. I can normally tell when a book is DNF and this doesn't have the same feeling. Maybe I'm just distracted by other books???

Do you struggle with this? What strategies have you utilized to get through some of the books that just couldn't hold your interest??

Could someone explain #bookspinbingo to me? I'm very curious and I have a ton of November reads it from the library and on my cloud Library so. I'd love to know more about this!

#bookspinbingo #help

hissingpotatoes Here's the masterpost about it! https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1989556 @TheAromaofBooks 3y

LibrarianRyan Ello, the nice thing about Bookspin and bingo is that you can make of it what you want. If you don't want to try for a bingo, then done and just try for the bookspin title. Not sure what books you want to read because you are an extream mood reader? That is okay too. If you look at my list, I almost never list exact copies that are not for bookclub, but more areas or ways I want to read. I can do this, because I can make it my own, & so can u 3y

TheAromaofBooks Hey there!!! I host the BookSpin challenge. @hissingpotatoes linked to my masterpost, but basically the challenge is to choose 20 books you've been meaning to read (or, like @LibrarianRyan pointed out, you can also choose categories, like “nonfiction“ or “library book“ or whatever) & post them as a list. On the 2nd of the month I draw out 2 numbers (BookSpin & DoubleSpin). Throughout the month, everyone tries to read those numbers from their ⬇ 3y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) lists. The bingo part is I shuffle all the numbers into a bingo card, and everyone reads the books that match the numbers to score a bingo for that month. November's posts are really close to the top of my feed so you should be able to find them - the challenge may make more sense if you see it in action!! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!!! 3y

BookLineNSinker Thank you so much, I think after seeing the cards I have a better understanding! So much literary fun! I love it!! 3y

Just watched this with my children. I suppose it‘s on point with it being Halloween week and all. That said I hate scary movies so this was TERRIBLE for me. They all loved it though. #halloween #scarystories #horror #booktomovieadaptation #help #save e
