I'm not trying to create a panic here, or suggest that the following is true...it is more of, just in case, this may be helpful.

A little while ago, I saw talk about Litsy no longer being available in the Android app-store ??

...and I freaked! What does that mean. Is it technical difficulties or is the Litsy community in trouble??

Again, not knowing what's really going on...I figured it couldn't hurt to do some Litsy advertising.

👇

AnnCrystal Trouble is, I don't know any readers.

Now, I don't normally donate or give away books from my personal library that I have enjoyed (love/like). For Litsy, I have decided to give up some of my “liked“ or “really-liked“ books from their safe place on my library shelves 🥲📚💝.

Then, don't hate me, I wrote on them👀...I used to frown upon writing in books, then one day I became a fan✍️💝.

I write:👇

AnnCrystal “Litsy“

The book's hashtag for “my“ review here on Litsy, which is #“thebooksname“reviewedbyanncrystal

“date read“

And my name and/or initials (optional).

AnnCrystal The trouble is, I'm such a sluggish reader...

Yesterday, when I came across
@TheSpineView discussing more Litsy issues...

...I wonder, what if more Littens began tagging any books they released back into the reading stream with their own info? That would be a whole lot more advertising for Litsy.

Again, don't know if Litsy is even really in trouble, but I love this place and would be sad if I couldn't be a Litten anymore 📚💝.

TheBookHippie There is a work about around it -I can‘t remember who it was that figure. It out. They don‘t update this like ever, they do however fix bugs off and on… I think the Facebook group Onward Litsy addresses it, I am not on Facebook 🫣😝. 19h
AnnCrystal Thanks @TheBookHippie 📚💝. Yeah, I'm not on Facebook anymore either. 19h
Deblovestoread I would hate for Litsy to die, too. I was lucky when I upgraded my phone that they transferred everything from my old phone to my new one without issue. So that's a possibility if you get another phone. There is an android work around that several Littens have used with success. 16h
AnnCrystal Thanks @Deblovestoread that is good 😉👍📚💝💝💝. (edited) 16h
AnnCrystal Thank you @LitsyEvents 😉👍💝. I greatly appreciate this, the thread explains everything. Very glad to understand, and thankful that LibraryThing saved the Litsy community and made it more accessible. I can't imagine this place not existing 📚💝💝💝.

🤔I will continue to advertise for Litsy📚.

Thank you @debinhawaii for creating this fun play-card and Thank You 🌺😘💖 & @TheSpineView for the tag 🐎😘💖.

Hope everyone is having a peaceful Holiday season.

1- While we're really enjoying all the Christmas specials/movies, I'm extra excited about Josh Groban...when he sings Christmas, I just melt, literally melt 😍🥰💖.

2- some beautiful days have allowed us to work out in our garden 🌱💝.

👇

AnnCrystal 3- tried to set some boundaries today. Terrible timing and it didn't go so well. Feel awful now...but hopefully it will get better with time. Prayers and good vibes please 🙏💝.

4- I have a Santa with sleigh and deer Lego set that I haven't had time to build... going to tackle this weekend 🎅🦌🎁💝.

5- I read my first Christmas book of this season! At least I finished one C'mas read before Christmas...hoping for at least one more 🤞.

Thank You everyone 🥰😘💝.

I knew the conversation needed to be started, yet it's just too difficult. I say everything wrong. I love this person dearly, I don't want them to believe otherwise. I do have faith 🙏💝 and believe this will be a worthy joy (hopefully).

Thank You all for your kindness, I really needed your sweet support tonight 🥲😘💝.

Thank you @TheSpineView for creating this fun play-card and for the tag 💕🐎📚💝.

1- went back and forth, considering if I should highlight daily or seasonal 🤔...🧑‍🎄I like making a no-eggnog, which is just sweetened and spiced non-dairy milk. I drink it while reading beside the Christmas tree while C'mas jingles play 🥛🎄🎶📚💝.

👇

AnnCrystal 2- in the tagged book, MC Riley Thorn goes with the flow in her own quirky and clever way when encountering crazy situations. Love, love this read 📚💝💝💝.

Thank you @AllDebooks for #SaturdayChatterday 😉☕📚 & @TheSpineView for tagging me ✈️🎄🐎💝.

Today is going to be cozy.

Took a break from C'mas last night to watch a scary movie for Friday the 13th (a tradition), today we return to the C'mas flicks 🎄🎬.

Reading is in the forecast 😉📚💝, good thing I'm giving myself till Epiphany (Three Kings Day, Jan. 6th) to read all my C'mas books for this season...I'm such a sluggish reader 😂👍...

👇

AnnCrystal ...I will probably be reading Christmas well into February 😂📚🎄💝.

And we're working on our C'mas card greetings 💌🎄💝...which we meant to mail earlier in the season 👀📨📬.

mcctrish What a fun idea for Friday the 13ths regardless of the season 1w
AnnCrystal Thanks @mcctrish always fun 🎬😉👍💝, like a mini-Halloween movie night. 1w
DogMomIrene You are braver than I am. Just cannot do scary movies anymore, at least not most traditional type horror stuff😳😬 1w
AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene 😉👍💝...we like the light, spooky movies without gore and graphic violence...I've watch some over the years (e.g. I like watching Laurie Strode battle it out against Michael Myers. Woman Empowerment 😉), but I always favorite the stories that focus more on atmosphere, spooky frights, and an actual storyline 🎬📚💝.

AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene P.S. Haven't even seen all the Michael Myers movies, and I always tend to fast forward through most of the movies I do catch...🤔😂🎬💝.

When my mom and I watched Halloween H20, we had to go drive to pick up my dad from the airport afterwards...at night. My mom avoids freeways, and we drove a very dark and lonely road, part of which was alongside a cemetery. Talk about spooky 😳😂.

Thank You @dabbe for creating this fun play-card ⛄❄️🌵☃️.

🎶🥳89🎄💝.

While I do like some versions over others, it is literally impossible to select just three!

Therefore, I will sum up my favorites from my total here with three words

1- every
2- single
3- one.

...that was difficult 😂👍💝.

Thank You @TheSpineView for creating this fun play-card ☃️🐎💝 & Thanks @Eggs for the tag ☺️🎄🫂💝.

1- Always love the beach 🏖️🎄, yet living in Southern California, I always wanted to make a trip to spend Christmas in a cozy cabin surrounded with snow...and it would truly be good to not be far from a village/town 🗻☃️❄️📚☕.

2- (still reading), the two MCs go to a cabin during Christmas time 📚💝

Thank you @BookmarkTavern for creating this fun play-card 📚💝.

When I go to an actual bookstore (haven't made time to go to a bookstore in years...I know, just terrible of me) I take my list, gather those books first, then browse for more goodies.

These days, I shop books where I can find them while shopping for necessities (groceries, big-box, etc), therefore I browse and collect random books.
