I just learned that there are some people asking why there‘s no straight pride month.?That reminds me of people who ask why there‘s no White history month.? People need to start educating themselves.

Anyway, back to why I originally wanted to post on Litsy: any of you Littens got any good LGBTQ+ *fiction* books to recommend???️‍? It‘s high time I diversify my library.

I‘m a fold-the-page kind of girl.🐶 I don‘t use a bookmark unless it was given to me for free.💰I already spend so much on books, I can‘t be spending on their accessories too.🐈‍⬛

Which one are you into? Bookmarks 🔖 or dog ears🐶?

There‘s something about holding a book, feeling the covers, flipping the pages, smelling the book—there‘s something about it that makes me prefer paperback books to ebooks.📖 What about you Littens? Are you into paperbacks or ebooks?

Ever since I found a whole bunch of old comic books, I‘ve been itching to read a graphic novel.?Who‘s got a recommendation??
.
Depuis que j'ai trouvé tout un tas de vieilles bandes dessinées, j‘ai une envie folle de lire un roman graphique.?Qui a une recommandation ??

Urgh! This is so beautiful.💛🖤 What figure of speech is this? A metaphor? Imagery? Whatever it is, I‘m grateful for it & I‘m glad I stumbled on it during my midnight read.🌓

1. Nope. Never. Never ever. Can‘t do it.⛔️
2. Despite major differences in their religions, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians & Muslims all believe in life after death (eg reincarnation, nirvana, paradise/hell)🪦

Potential unpopular opinion: I found the middle part near the end of It🎈 & of The Shining🪓 boring. I actually skipped a few chapters. I loved the rest of the books though. There‘s no denying it, King is a phenomenal storyteller. #losersclub

Littens I have a friend (I swear I‘m not talking about myself, I‘m actually talking about a friend) who keeps books in the bathroom.🧻Some people read the newspaper when they‘re on the can, she reads books.🪠So my question to YOU, Littens, is what‘s the weirdest place you‘ve ever read in?🦨

I just found a whole bunch of old comic books I used to read as a kid!!💥💥I used to always have my main read (a novel) & a comic on the side (usually Archie or manga). Anyone else went through a comic book phase?🦔

You gotta explain this to me #losersclub. What exactly was the purpose of the kids having an orgy? And could King have achieved that purpose without that (disturbing) scene?

I put a post out yesterday (June 5) asking whether reading prologues & epilogues is optional. Littens have spoken: prologues & epilogues MUST be read at all times. Court is adjourned.👩🏾‍⚖️

I heard some people don‘t read prologues because the scene described reappears later in the story & I heard some people DO read prologues because it adds information.📖So my question is, Littens do you read prologues &/or epilogues?🧐

There are stories that take you on a ride. A thrilling ride full of twists & turns & big reveals & deceiving characters & when the ride is over you find yourself thinking back about it over & over again. This book is one of those stories. I don‘t know if it‘s been translated in English, but if you like thrillers & you don‘t speak French, learn yourself some French & read this book.

Now THAT‘S how you write an epilogue.?? It pulls you in, it‘s not a waste of ink✒️ you must read it, it‘s part of the story, it‘s mind-boggling, it knits every chapter together & reveals elements that will make the story stick with you long after you‘ve read it.⏳ Je n‘ai jamais lu un épilogue aussi bien écrit.??

This is why I love thick books: I‘ve recently started practicing contortion. I don‘t have the yoga blocks used to deepen stretches so I‘ve had to improvise.? Anyone else uses their books other than for reading?? J'ai récemment commencé à pratiquer la contorsion. Je n'ai pas les blocs de yoga utilisés pour approfondir les étirements, alors j'ai dû improviser avec de beaux gros livres.? Qui d'autre utilise ses livres autrement que pour lire ?

Anyone else get distracted with the book section in a drug store & then forgets why they walked in the store in the first place? This is why I bring a list with me, people.? Suis-je la seul à me laisser distraire par le rayon des livres d'un magasin et à oublier pourquoi je suis entrée dans le magasin ? C'est pourquoi j'apporte toujours une liste avec moi.??‍♀️

My bookmark fell out & I‘m freaking out because I was almost done reading & this is such an engrossing book & now I need to find where I was without accidentally reading any of the spoilers at the end!!!?? Mon marqueur est tombé & je panique parce que j'avais presque fini ce livre captivant & maintenant je dois retrouver où j'en étais tout en faisant attention de ne pas lire les spoilers à la fin !!!

There are some books that you read when you‘re mature enough to appreciate the writing but not the subject matter or the (well-deserved) jabs the author makes at society.✏️ That‘s what happened with me & Gone Girl. I read it a few years ago when it was all anyone was talking about. It‘s time for me to reread it.📖

Why oh WHY did I not read this book sooner?🤦🏾‍♀️
