Smiling Shelves on Litsy!

So I've been hearing about the Litsy app for a while now, and it sounded really fun. It's kind of like Goodreads plus Instagram. But I thought it was only available on iPhones. Imagine my surprise, then, when I discovered yesterday that it was now on Android phones as well! I immediately downloaded it to try it out.

I haven't entirely figured out how to use it yet, but I'm working on it. At the very least, I plan on using it to keep track of quotes I like from books I'm reading. It was my New Year's resolution in 2016 to write down quotes - and I did really well for the first couple of months, until my son was born. Since then, nothing. I figure if I can type them into an app right away when I discover them, rather than waiting until I remember to write them down in my quote book, then I'll have more success with this.

If you're on Litsy, I'd love to connect with you! My username is smilingshelves. Let me know in the comments what yours is, and I'll follow you! Time to go experiment with it some more!

I just followed you! I'm on blogs less and less these days, and when I am, if I'm reading from my phone, I hardly ever comment because it's so hard to type on it. I love checking in on your reading though, because we have similar tastes in most genres, and I tend to love your recommendations. Looking forward to seeing you on Litsy. Happy reading!

I've done a couple things so far, and I'm not sure I'm using it right, but it's fun! See you there!

I'm bucklingbkshelf, but I didn't find myself wanting to use it much after I first tried it, to be honest. I like your idea of using it to save quotes though. Maybe I'll give it a second chance...

I'm glad you're on Litsy, Christine, and I hope you give it another try. Twitter is normally my bookish happy place, but there's been a little too much politics on there recently. So I'm trying out Litsy for my bookish happy place, and it's been fun so far!

Litsy has been so helpful for me for exactly the reason you mention - that opportunity to jot down something quickly, right away in the app.

I'm really excited about using Litsy for that! Finally, an efficient way to keep track of my quotes!

I am bookishnerd on there. I really like the app, but I keep forgetting about it. I need to make it more of a habit!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
