makerswap | Litsy

Swap'd | Tamara Ireland Stone

Hey all,

I was thinking of hosting a swap. But I can't decided.

I started the Nightmare swap when there was few Halloween swaps, but there will be at least 2 this year. #Hauntedhallowswap and #basicwitchswap

But I also usually host the #makerswap. I wont lie, I got a bit burned on the last maker swap which is why I have not held it in a year of two.

I was also thinking of an #alteredbookswap.

What do you think?

LibrarianRyan and yes, I will be doing the #cardswap again this year. That will go up on Halloween. 3y

BeeMagical @LibrarianRyan 100% in for the Basic Witch/Haunted Hallow Swap! :) 3y

hannah-leeloo I love the idea I just worry about postage cost (sorry being honest) 3y

LibrarianRyan @hannah-leeloo I completely agree. Shipping has gone up. And even flat rate boxes have sored in price. I usually send my books seperate from everything else to keep costs down but it does depend on weight. Or I have had them sent directly to the person from the bookstore. 3y

BookwormAHN What do you mean by an #alteredbookswap it sounds interesting 😺 3y

LibrarianRyan @BookwormAHN It could be page art, new cover, it could be sprayed or art edges. The sender would pick a book and alter it. 3y

LibrarianRyan @BookwormAHN nothing this fancy but it‘s too pretty not to show off. No it isn‘t me. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMR236Fhk/ 3y

BookwormAHN That sounds like fun and those edges look gorgeous 😻 3y

Chrissyreadit I‘m so in! 3y

Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse | Louise Erdrich

So I'm keen to participate in a fun Litsy swap at some point, but I never seem to know about them until after they happen.

Anyone know of upcoming swaps and who is organizing them? (I'm guessing it might be too late for me to get in on a Valentine's one) #swap

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I don‘t know of any that are still open to join - but I‘ll keep my eye out for you! 4y

AmyG They‘re all closed. :( 4y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego None open at the moment unfortunately. 4y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego You should follow these littens as they often host swaps. @Chrissyreadit @candority @Avanders @teebe @LibrarianRyan @Chelleo @MaleficentBookDragon @bookish_wookish @wanderinglynn @Meaw_catlady @sprainedbrain @cwarnier @LitsyHappenings @LitsySwaps 4y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Also, if you do see a post about a swap, chick on the hashtag. Then follow anyone who has posted about the swap. These are usually active littens, who often share info about swaps. 😊 4y

bookish_wookish I usually host the Lonely Hearts Club swap for Valentines day but the way shipping has been is way too stressful so i skipped it this year! 😔 4y

LibrarianRyan @bookish_wookish I so agree. And with people losing jobs left and right. I got really burnt on my last Makers Swap and had to make up 6 swaps. And I haven't hosted one since (well except the card swap).
4y

Chrissyreadit The next swap I will host will be StaycationInTimeSwap signups in May or June. 4y

Chrissyreadit @LibrarianRyan I totally get it but love #makerswap and miss it. 4y

LibrarianRyan @Chrissyreadit I am probably after Valentine day do another maker type swap, but not a full maker swap. Just haven't convinced myself yet. 4y

bookish_wookish Oh wow! I just had to make up 1 on the little christmas. @LibrarianRyan 4y

candority You just missed the Valentine‘s swap I‘m currently hosting, but I‘ll try to tag you if I host another one in the summer! 4y

CuriousG Thanks @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @bookish_wookish @LibrarianRyan @Chrissyreadit @candority Appreciate all the info! 4y

Avanders @LibrarianRyan oh no! I know you‘re always willing to do that, but I wish I had helped you out! I can definitely see why you got burnt on that 😞 And @CuriousG - it looks like you‘ve been well-informed ☺️ I used to be more regular with hosting swaps... but I still find myself hosting or co-hosting at least 2 a year... I tend to be more end-of-the-year, though. In any event, keeping an eye on the pages mentioned should help! 4y

melissajayne @Chrissyreadit can you tag me if you do it? I would like to join up 4y

Catsandbooks I have a summer swap if you're interested! 4y

Ok, I have a question for all my fellow littens who use Litsy for book swaps and book clubs throughout the year. How the hell do you find them? 😂 I use the Android and browser versions of Litsy and they make it so hard to discover this stuff! Are there specific hashtags I should be looking out for? In return for your help, I have enclosed a pic of the ridiculous potholders I have asked my fiancee to get me for Christmas. 😁

Hestapleton Omg I need these 😂 4y

Sleepswithbooks 😂😂😂These are awesome!!! 4y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Love the cat butts! I find the swaps mainly by "word of mouth" so to speak. Here are some Littens you can follow who often host swaps, that will help for sure. @MaleficentBookDragon @LibrarianRyan @teebe @Meaw_catlady @Chrissyreadit @bookish_wookish @wanderinglynn @sprainedbrain @Chelleo @Avanders . Also @LitsyHappenings often shares posts of upcoming swaps & events. 4y

See All 44 Comments

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego And @suvata hosts #lmpbc (Litsy Mark Up Postal Book Club) 4y

Chrissyreadit I love your potholders! 4y

Chrissyreadit You might want to follow more people too- and make sure you are following everyone who is tagged above. Also if you go to some of the swap hashtags and follow those people you will be following the people who mostly participate and share swap information. The book clubs and book challenges can be followed that way too. 4y

Chrissyreadit I love LMPBC for “bookclub” feel 4y

BookwormAHN Also @4thhouseontheleft @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage hosts #Booked2020 and @TheAromaofBooks hosts #BookSpinBingo challenges 4y

BookwormAHN And @Clwojick hosts tons of stuff throughout the year. 4y

witchyreader13 Thank you so much, everyone! Keep them coming if you've got them! Lol. 4y

sprainedbrain I‘m here because I was tagged but I just have to say OMG I need those potholders. 😂 4y

LibrarianRyan I can see why you want those pot holders. I host the #BBRC BIRTH AND BEYONG READING CHALLENGE. I also host the #makerswap. #cardswap is open until Friday. I randomly host book mark swaps and various others. It just depends. You should also follow @LitsySwaps And @LitsyHappenings I know at least one of them is still being ,maintained. 4y

wanderinglynn Those pot holders are awesome. 😆 I mostly find out about events from either host‘s original post or other Littens reposting the event. 4y

Cinfhen Hi!!! Thanks for the shoutout @BookwormAHN I‘ve been a little absent on Litsy lately but I‘ll tag people you should follow for online bookclub ideas and some hashtags to look out for #SundayBuddyRead @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheBookHippie @Librarybelle #LiteraryCrew @Soubhiville #AuthorAMonth #shakespeareReadalong #fellowshipOfTolkien #pemberlittens 4y

Cinfhen If you want to join reading challenges I host one with @BarbaraTheBibliophage and @4thhouseontheleft I recently posted a sign up link #Booked2021 also starting Jan first is #ReadingAsia2021 by two wonderful Littens @BarbaraBB and @Librarybelle 4y

Cinfhen Lots to do here on Litsy... just the more people you follow, the more you‘ll discover and awesome potholders 🥰 4y

Chelleo Be on the lookout for the #BlitsySwap #BlitsyHistoryMonth sign up after Thanksgiving 4y

TheAromaofBooks So when I first joined, I just started seeing who was being tagged as the host for different challenges & then I would follow the host. Most people here are also really friendly, so if you see a hashtag being used & aren't sure what challenge or swap it belongs to, just ask & you will usually get filled in on the details!! December is BIG month for all the annual reading challenges getting posted so keep an eye out!! 4y

TheAromaofBooks Also, @Andrew65 hosts a monthly readathon around the middle of each month where you set your own goals. The last weekend of every month is the #24B4Monday readathon... theoretically you try to read 24hrs over that weekend, but most of us set our own goals for that, too haha There are a lot of low-key challenges like that going on where there isn't really a prize or official entry system, just a way of encouraging one another to read harder!! 4y

Librarybelle Love the potholders! Echoing so many others...viewing hashtags and hosts of swaps and buddy reads and other challenges is a good way to get involved. 4y

Avanders Lol hilarious potholders 😆 I think what @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego said is spot-on, especially these days. I‘ll add a few hashtags that I check every so often: #litsyswap #litsyswaps #litsyhappenings And note a couple more people to follow ☺️ @Endowarrior21 @ferskner @Mommamanzi @monalyisha 4y

MrsGagnonreads2024 Thank you for the tag @Avanders 4y

BarbaraBB You know everything now 😊. Two more interesting events: @Texreader and @Butterfinger will host a monthly event called #LitAndFood from January and @Cinfhen and I host a #bestbuddyread in February, reading the tagged book. Just check out the hashtags 💕

The Group: A Novel

Clwojick My best friend made these as coasters for my bridal shower 😂 4y

tpixie Fun coasters and great question!! 4y

Butterfinger Thanks for the shoutout @BarbaraBB. Wonderful potholders. I'm sure you will find something to interest you. Litsy has a lot to offer. Has anyone mentioned #LitsyLove @alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks for the shout outs @BookwormAHN and @Cinfhen — I would add that if you‘re a nonfiction reader (or wish you were) give @Riveted_Reader_Melissa a follow. She hosts some buddy reads throughout the year, including #shesaid. 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage And OMG I might have to find a pattern for those potholders—adorbs! 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I usually find things by seeing them accidentally while scrolling and then I just look up the tag or ask. I currently follow the #PratchettPosse or #OokBOokClub who are reading Terry Pratchett 1 book a month, #ShakespeareReadAlong which reads about the plays 1 Act a week, the #StarWarsBuddyRead which is reading all the new cannon books 1 a month, #FellowshipOfTolkien which is currently working their way through the histories of Middle Earth, & ⤵️ 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa #NonfictionNerds who vote on 1 nonfiction book a month to read together hosted by @dariazeoli #SheSaid 1 nonfiction books a month by a female author, the #BBBBC a scifi & fantasy book club, they rotate between the 2 reading one every 2 months. There are also a bunch that just spring up, so definitely if you have a favorite author, try checking out there book in a search or a tag search and see if anything pops up... I‘ve seen things like Harry⤵️ 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️Potter chapter a day type group reads pop up often. I know there is an Austen book club the #Pemberlittens I believe, and a King group #LosersClub, and there‘s of course #LMPBC which I know I saw mentioned up above somewhere. (edited) 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Oh sorry, I should have tagged @InLibrisVeritas who runs the #BBBBC that I mentioned above 4y

MaleficentBookDragon I LOVE those pot holders!!! I have to find a pattern for them.
As for swaps, I usually happen upon them by accident.
And, the fact I've done so many I tend to get tagged by some of the hosts (THANK YOU).
I just signed up for the one @#avanders is doing right now.
4y

ferskner Thanks for the tag @Avanders ❤️ and hi @abooknerdsparadise 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen thank you!! 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Butterfinger thank you!! 🥰 4y

BookFreakOut I search #swap #swaps #Litsyswaps 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Also it never hurts to just search the tag #BuddyRead once in awhile. 4y

Nute Hi! I think that you can get a feel for the community-friendliness of Litsy from the many responses received to your inquiry. Even I learned a thing or two reading the replies!😃 The one thing that I would echo is definitely increasing your ‘following‘ numbers so that more post auto-present to you thus increasing your exposure to what is happening on Litsy. Have fun! 4y

witchyreader13 Thank you, everybody! @nute Yes, I love the community here! I only wish that Litsy allowed the formation of group pages instead of just hashtags, or that they would allow you to follow specific hashtags instead of having to remember them each time you want to look things up. It would make things easier, but despite the app not being as user-friendly as I'd like, the bookish community here makes it so I never think about leaving. 😊 4y

Nute Great ideas! Every now and then a poll-post will come out asking community members what they like about Litsy and ideas about improvements. I‘m not sure what the purpose of that polling post is... if it is creator or user initiated? if the suggestions are considered as future updates? You might reply with your suggestions if the inquiry is made again.🙂 I‘m looking forward to getting to know you! 4y

FlowerFairy Regarding the potholders - several years ago I crocheted a smaller version of that same pattern and made it into fridge magnets🤪 4y

Butterfinger #FoodandLit 4y

witchyreader13 Thanks again, everyone! For the record, my Mom DID end up getting me a set of these coasters for Christmas. 😅 4y

Basic Witch: Blank Lined Notebook ( Witch ) Black/Pink | Mac Crane Da

Looked what came in the mail. @phantomx can‘t wait to open it. Just a question. Is the tape job in the pictures your tape job? We had had issues lately with boxes being cut open on the sides and retapped together and look similar.

Your box is goin out Monday. I‘m waiting for things to dry.

#basicwitchswap @sprainedbrain

cathysaid Okay I‘m gonna need a follow up post from your partner when that person receives “waiting on things to dry.” 😂😂😂 Intriguing. 4y

LibrarianRyan @cathysaid well.... I do run the #makerswap for a reason. I love to make. I just hate cleaning up the mess after. 😜 4y

phantomx @LibrarianRyan Looks like my handiwork. Check the top and bottom sides of the box to see if they're cut. I didn't expect it to arrive so fast to you! I'm kinda worried that it has been looked through or something is missing from the box. #BasicWitchSwap 4y

See All 6 Comments

phantomx @LibrarianRyan I re-checked the picture for when you recieved the box, the tape looks kinda flimsy, now I'm super worried its been opened. #BasicWitchSwap 4y

phantomx @LibrarianRyan Lastly, on the top of the box, there's supposed to be one strip of long tape covering the right side and possibly a medium strip on top (where the skull is), no tape on the left side of the box (where the hashtag is-I forgot to tape that side), and one tape that keeps the box sealed. Also, there's supposed to be a fold in the tape on the right side of the box, like a triangle. I hope this helps #BasicWitchSwap 4y

LibrarianRyan @phantomx thanks for the info. I don‘t think it‘s been tampered with we just wanted to make sure. Excited to open it soon. 4y

Bringing Up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting | Pamela Druckerman

The weather here was gorgeous today and made for good audio crafting out on the patio. The sun was shining and the birds were singing, reminding me of this meme I found this morning. I'm not sure if I'll stick with the tagged book or not at a little over an hour in I haven't learned much. This is my first attempt at embroidery and I'm finding it very therapeutic.

MaleficentBookDragon It's so pretty! (And I love the meme) 5y

Hooked_on_books The meme! 😂 5y

ChasingOm Did you get that pattern from Etsy? It looks similar to a kit I bought recently! 😄 5y

See All 7 Comments

HeathHof @ChasingOm I'm not sure where the pattern came from. @haileybean sent it to me for #makerswap last summer. 5y

haileybean I got it on Etsy I think 🙈 5y

ChasingOm You‘ve done a lot more of it than I have! It looks great and it‘s such a pretty pick-me-up. Good choice, @haileybean! 5y

HeathHof Thank you ☺ @ChasingOm & I agree @haileybean did an awesome job selecting such a pretty pattern! 5y

CrowCAH @HerDarkHuntress1 I think you should host it; I bet you‘ll get a lot of participation! 5y

HerDarkHuntress1 @CrowCAH I‘m so new to this app that I‘m not even sure what all goes on with a swap. I keep seeing them but I never see the start of one. What are the rules? 5y

See All 7 Comments

CrowCAH @HerDarkHuntress1 I‘ve never hosted a swap, thought I‘d it. But I think @LibrarianRyan might be able to answer this better, as #MakerSwap is theirs. 5y

LibrarianRyan @HerDarkHuntress1 ello. There is usually a few different HP swaps throughout the year. They have been hosted by different people each time (I believe, but can not honestly remember). All most all hosts abide by the @LitsySwaps rules, and then add their own as needed by the swap. Right before Halloween i did a primer of sorts for new Littens on Swap etiquette. Hit the #swapprimer hashtag and if you have any questions just ask 5y

HerDarkHuntress1 Thank you so much! I‘m on one device reading up on it now while on another wanting to say thank you before I‘m sucked in! So thank you for the help @librarianRyan and @CrowCAH 5y

In the spirit of #MakerSwap, I decided to send a pkg to my daughter in law. Hand twined rug made by me, book ~ her choice with regifted bookmark from @kspenmoll (not because I didn't love it but because my DIL loves keys) & crayon melt craft to do with the grandkids {created a Pinterest board just for her with instructions}

#audiocrafting while listening to the tagged book, sci fi with mystery and possibly some horror ? About a quarter of the way in and it's really good.

@cobwebmoth making use of the kit you sent in the #makerswap. I got some larger canvas and another tube of blue paint but that kit had everything needed and I had a great time painting. Thanks again!😀

Swap Meet (an Anthology) | J D Bryce

We are heading into the biggest SWAP season of the year here on Litsy. Since our @LitsySwaps page has been inactive for a bit, and we have a TON of new Littens, I thought I would write up a primer for everyone about how swaps work, dos, don'ts, etc. And give those who need, place to ask general questions.

This will be a thread and it may be long

Pictured above are the general swap rules as created by various hosts and @LitsySwaps

#SwapPrimer

LibrarianRyan 2. Any and all specific host rules may overrule these general rules, but most do not. Most will include these rules into their rules in some form or another. They may not be word for word (I'm lazy, I copied and pasted years ago and still use it) but most rules DO NOT CHANGE.

If there is a rule you do not like in the swap THEN DON“T DO THE SWAP! It is that simple. 5y

LibrarianRyan 3. Pay attention to the theme if there is one. Please do not sign up for a Steampunk swap, if you hate steampunk. Just putting in the additional notes that you hate steampunk but wanted to do a swap, is NOT a good way to get involved. All us hosts want you to have a great time both giving and receiving, so please don't start up on the track to fail. If you are open to trying something new swaps ARE a great way to do so, just mention it. (edited) 5y

LibrarianRyan 4. Commit to your commitments. Do not sign up for a swap you know you can not afford. Also, If you can only afford 1 swap, do not sign up for 2.

FAIR WARNING: There is a BLACKLIST. Actually there are at least two, maybe more. We hosts talk and keep notes. Yes you can get off the blacklist, but it requires someone willing to trust you and give you a chance. Meaning, it may not be easy. 5y

See All 33 Comments

LibrarianRyan 5. in partnership with 4, if your in trouble, say something. Let your host know. We know about and understand emergencies. Weather its illness/death in the family to hurricanes we hosts will work with you. We talk to your swap partners and work out alternative, switch things up, cover, etc. COMMUNICATION IS KEY. The sooner we know, the sooner we can help. We want this to be fun for all, not a burden or a concern when life happens. 5y

LibrarianRyan 6. Still going with 4 and 5, please do not think that just because you change your screen name that you will automatically get off the blacklist. Sorry. Does not work that way.

You should AT NO TIME between signing up for a swap and opening day change your screen name. You should also have your account set to public. If you have blocked specific littens, please let your host know if you end up paired. 5y

LibrarianRyan 7. Just as their are bad swappers, I will be honest there are hosts who are better than others. I know when I host swaps I can be a bit of a nag, so I would not be surprised to find out I was on someones “nope“ list. At the same time, I personally keep track of swaps I did not enjoy and why. What makes a good host is different to everyone, so a awesome host to me, may be someone else's night mare and vice versa. That is okay. 5y

LibrarianRyan 8. If you want to host a swap, you can. There is nothing holding you back. But know ahead of time it is a lot of work. Even the simplest smallest swap takes up soooo much time. For a newbie, think of it this way, you will probably spend one - two hours on your swap for everyone who signs up.

That means you could spend 40 hours on work for a swap of 40 people. The more you do it, the easier it gets, but not always. 5y

LibrarianRyan 9. Go into swaps for the fun, for the excitement, the joy. Don't go into swaps for what you will get out of it. Some will post spending limits, or have you pick a price range, some do not. Don't look for a me verses them: what did I spend, what did they spend. Set your own budget. What you want to do and what you can afford. And be understanding that not everyone may be in the same situation you are in. 5y

KatieDid927 Thanks for this! When I first started doing swaps I had to hunt for the original Litsy rules. I also have toyed with the idea of hosting so this is helpful insight for me on that end as well. 5y

LibrarianRyan 10. Be open to not getting what is on your wishlist. If you only want and will only except books on your list, you may limit the person sending to you, to something they can not do. Wishlists are great ways for matches to get ideas, but if you are a core believer of “only want I want“ you may want to do a book store run rather than a swap. (edited) 5y

LibrarianRyan 11. Over all, what us various hosts want is for everyone to be happy. We want everyone to have fun and be energized for books! But we can not do it all. We need your help as someone who signs up for a swap to help make them all they can be. And i bet they will be great. 5y

LibrarianRyan 12. Last thought, as mentioned Halloween Swaps are the biggest time of the year Last year there was at least 5. So far this year we have

#ScreamathonSwap by @4thHouseontheLeft
#BasicWitchSwap by @Sprainedbrain

Every year I look forword to the
#AllHallowsReadswap and the #Halloweengoespostal. I have not tagged hosts in case they choose not to host this year.

Last year there was also a #hocusPocusswap and other.

Happy Swapping ALL! 😁 (edited) 5y

LibrarianRyan @KatieDid927 Yeahh. Any questions, just ask. If I don't know the answers, I have done all the most popular host's swaps and we are all willing to help answer questions. 5y

BookwormAHN Halloween swaps are the best 👻 5y

LibrarianRyan @BookwormAHN Yeah baby. I sign up for way to many of them. I think I did all but one last year. And I now myself, i will probably to it again this year. But I am so planning ahead. 5y

alisiakae @librarianryan how can a first time swap host see the blacklist? 😃😃 5y

Scochrane26 @librarianryan what‘s the best way to find out about swaps? I‘ve seen the 2 offered so far because they were shared by others. 5y

alisiakae And for anyone interested, here‘s the link for the #screamathon swap! Signup here: https://forms.gle/jcx64L78Vj4Xhufc6 5y

LibrarianRyan @4thhouseontheleft The big list is is held by @Avanders. I have access to list #2. What I usually do is supply a to the “listmaster“ a list of my participants and their real name, and the list master gives an okay, or notes a name that has been problematic. I forgot to get my last last #Makerswap checked by the big list and ended up having to add to it. It also meant I didn't catch someone who changed their screen name. 5y

LibrarianRyan @Scochrane26 follow these two accounts @LitsySwaps, and @LitsyHappenings. Most of us swap hosts tag these two accounts. We also try to tag big friends and those in the 6 digit club. Litsy Swaps has been dormant for a few months, but Happenings is still going strong.

6 digits are those who have been around forever and have six digits in their litfluence. You can con your way to 5 digits, but not to 6. 5y

rather_be_reading YES Great idea!! 5y

Crazeedi Thank you for posting this! 5y

sprainedbrain Excellent idea! Anyone know what‘s happening with the LitsySwaps account? I‘m about to need the naughty list, and no one is answering my email. 😳 5y

LibrarianRyan @sprainedbrain no idea about the swaps account. I have access to a very small ⬛️list and I don‘t remember all, but @a Anders has access to the original larger list. 5y

sprainedbrain @LibrarianRyan thanks! 😊 5y

sprainedbrain @Avanders Could I please get access to the naughty list? I had it ages ago for the Jane Austen swap but deleted it because I didn‘t think I would host another swap. 😳 And now I‘m co-hosting another swap. 5y

Avanders @sprainedbrain @4thhouseontheleft just email me at Leathy18 at gmail dot com. ☺️ I‘m sorry it has to exist, but also glad it does. Hope it helps! 5y

LibrarianRyan @Avanders @sprainedbrain @4thhouseontheleft I made the mistake of not checking for my last real swap and finally hit bad luck 2 flakes. One had changed screen names multiple times and one was a newbie. It sucks it has to exist but years ago there had repeat offenders and there had to stop it somehow. 5y

sprainedbrain @LibrarianRyan it does suck... happened to me once back in the early days and I don‘t want anyone to every have to experience having a dud for a match! 5y

alisiakae @Avanders Thanks! I‘ll email you soon. @LibrarianRyan I‘ve been matched with a few duds myself. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y

LibrarianRyan @4thhouseontheleft I think it‘s cool how much fun this is, and how much it brings joy to people. I love doing it. I will say, the bookmark swap has been the hardest. No complaints, everyone has been great, it was just a lot to match everyone. I had so many people do the bookmark swap who was their first time, or worried about how everything works. I hope I didn‘t come across as a witch, it wasn‘t my intention. Just to prepare newbies. Good luck 5y

LibrarianRyan @4thhouseontheleft I look forward to the acreamathon. I keep wanting to start books, just to say, nope not yet. 🧛🏼‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧛‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧞‍♀️🧞‍♂️ 5y

alisiakae @LibrarianRyan It‘s a good thing I have #BBRC to keep me occupied until October arrives. 😃😃 (edited) 5y
