I thought we could explore Genevieve Graham as an author for the next #OhCanada read. She has written a number of books with many of them being Canadian historical fiction set around war times. She also has a new book coming out in April 2025. Please vote if you'd like. All are welcome to join this low key read.

This is very low key—no tag list, so feel free to participate how often you would like. I am reading one nonfiction a month that looks beyond the history found in schools.
If you would like to participate, post your book and thoughts each month, using #RealHistory and/or #HonestHistory . I‘ll make a bibliography for those interested.

If you‘d like to donate to give my Daytonators a book of their choice, this is how I want to spend my birthday. My goal as a reading teacher besides standards is to encourage reading for pleasure through choice. If you donate as little as $1 I will knit you a beautiful bookmark & send it to you. WIN-WIN-WIN Please share. #Tammyturns50

Hello Shardlakians! Hope everybody is enjoying HEARTSONE. I‘m finding it hard to stop reading!
Our next discussion will be this Monday 31/3, over chapters 1-26. Have a fabulous weekend! 🤩
Just wanted to put this out to those who are participating (or thinking of) - is there a particular genre you'd like to read next and if you like voting on the next pick or would rather I just pick one book? I'm happy to go any way - want to pick books that people are interested in reading! I was thinking another historical fiction for the next read and then maybe something lighter in the summer. Always love hearing from you all 😊!

#QueerBC April's author is Alan Hollinghurst! This is an author l'm aware of but never read anything by them. I think I have The Line of Beauty haunting my shelves somewhere
Have you read this author before? Drop any recommendations in the comments
Don't forget March's author is Bushra Rehman.
There is still loads of March left! How are we all getting on?
Well folks, believe it or not we're about halfway through March! So it's time to mention our April babies waiting patiently in the wings for their days to shine.😎
If you'd like to be celebrated on YOUR special day, it's easy! Just send your name, Litsy handle and birthdate to litsybirthdays@gmail.com. The #birthdayfairies and Litsyland will look forward to partying with you.
April's gonna be another great month for #birthdaylove🎈🥳🎈

Sorry everyone for getting so behind on #HitchToScreen ! It's been a rough few weeks. But I'm happy to announce our next buddy read is a favorite of mine, Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.
The movie is amazing as well. Remember it's very casual. We have 6 weeks to read the book, just post a review & tag me when you're done. Anyone is welcome to join! If you'd like to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know. Happy reading!
@BarbaraJean birthday fun 🎉
My birthday is in just under 3 weeks & l've been putting together a multi-year reading challenge to complete before 3/31/28 (my 50th birthday). I went through my physical shelves & TBR lists and chose 50 books l'd really like to finish before I turn 50. Then, I wrote prompts for each-so anyone who'd like to join me can choose their own books for the challenge. Who wants to read #50x50 along with me?
