I know, it’s been a while – what, two or three weeks? – since I last mentioned The List App in a Book Riot post. The app is now known simply as Li.st, and it’s still just as great for bookish types. Still don’t believe me? Here are some examples of lists I’ve made in the last nine months or so. (The + sign means that the list is collaborative, with many people suggesting items – one of the many things I love about this app.) The best books you might not have read Books I highly recommend Best Bookish Lists on The List App Best Bookish Podcasts Books for when reading feels hard + Books I hope they option for movies Songs about books and writers + Quotes I <3 from a book I <3 Book bloggers on The List App + What I will do when I get a book deal Why The List App is great for writers Classic Novels in 3 Emoji + Wit and Wisdom from Margaret Atwood Things That People in the Book Industry Love and Don’t Love About Their Jobs Dear Mr You: some quotes from Mary-Louise Parker’s memoir Idle book-related wonderings Books too good to own just once + Wit and Wisdom from Jesse Eisenberg Books to help us live more thankful lives Reasons you might want to consider buying your books somewhere other than Amazon What plays should I read next year to continue my theatrical education? + The thoughts of a book nerd after a bookseller whispers to her that President Clinton is downstairs Gifts for book nerds Novels I’d like to read that don’t yet exist 2016 books I am excited about The thoughts of a book nerd deciding which books to take home for a three-week Christmas holiday Books I brought on my trip to Europe, ranked by my likelihood of getting round to reading them I am more likely to pick up your book if… Books I’ve loved this year (2015) Last minute suggestions for book gifts Our reading goals for 2016 + Favourite author inscriptions Books I finished in January Favourite love stories + Why I love being in a book club Some books I really want to read despite the fact that I keep getting distracted by new releases Books I finished in February Emotions felt so far in the seven months since signing up with a literary agent Some lovely quotes from Fates and Furies Books I finished in March People who bought my book about The West Wing also like… Join in the fun!
