Happy Christmas Eve!
Quick tip for those who need it - it‘s simple to gift a Kindle book! On the product page, select the quantity and click Buy for Others. You‘ll be taken to a page where you can enter your recipient emails and personal messages to each. You can even choose when you want your gift delivered to the person‘s email!
Happy gifting!

Signal boosting, because nothing says Kind Litsy like our kind Littens! - Daria
@That-Bookish-Hiker is one of many affected by the government shutdown in the US, so please visit the Etsy shop she and her husband run! Most bookmarks are only a couple bucks with free US shipping. I‘ve seen your bookhauls; you can use another bookmark or two 😉

Hey all! Just a heads up to please check your username and email address on the #kindlitsy masterlist to make sure there are no typos. You can fix yourself if you have a LibraryThing account, or let me know and I can do it.
And welcome to all the newbies! - Daria

As you may know, the #kindlitsymasterlist has been updated frequently since it went live, over several posts. Thanks to @kgriffith it‘s now a LibraryThing wiki! This allows for easier updates and one central list, as well as the ability to add/remove yourself if you have a LibraryThing account.

Gifting to a country other than your own apparently doesn‘t work. US users can gift each other, and UK users can gift each other. If you‘re in another country, please comment if you know if gifting is available in your country!
Another option, though it removes the element of surprise: send a gift card to a user to purchase the Kindle book.
Please visit your Amazon stores‘s help section for accurate info; I‘m unable to troubleshoot.

In 2017, @JoeStalksBeck compiled a list of Littens with a Kindle or the Kindle app so we could gift each other books. I thought I‘d keep the tradition going, and it‘s been so popular I thought, why limit it to the holidays?
#kindlitsy is a play on Kindle + Litsy. Add in the kindness & generosity of this community, and here we are! Gift someone a book for a holiday, special occasion, or just because!
Further posts will explain the ins & outs.
