Welcome to Litsy!

I am so thankful for all that books have given me, especially this amazing community!!

Wow! Where have the last 6 years gone. Thanks for posting this @HappyLitsyversary and thanks to all the wonderful Littens out there that make this such a special happy place. You know who you are, so many special friends I have had the pleasure of making over the last six years ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also a big thank you to all those that take part in all the readathons and other challenges on Litsy. 🥳🍾🥂🎈👏🎊🙌🪅

Being transparent, I ended my work day yesterday in tears. All is well, but abrupt change is hard and my body needed time to process.

To my surprise, I open the front door and see this big box. THANK YOU SO MUCH @catiewithac 🎁❤️ the best surprise! It means so much that you took the time to send this my way. Now I am going to try to be patient until my birth date is a little bit closer before I open😅 CAN‘T WAIT!

Thankful for my fellow readers. Happy Thanksgiving! (One of my thankfulness feathers reads “books.”) #hHappyThanksgiving #thankful

#LitsyLove
Thank you so much @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and @Professional_Book_Dragon
This was such a sweet surprise! I'm so excited to read this and the bookmark fits me perfectly, that's all I think about most of the time😁

@Jee_HookedOnBookz These arrived today, thank you! They are nestled under the tree, and the chocolate is safely in the pantry because one of my cats was sure you sent it for him. (He could smell that there was food before I opened the envelope! Don‘t worry, he didn‘t get any.) Thank you my friend! ❤️

#GratefulHarvest
This is a sweet read for children and families - teaches us to remember to be #thankful for everything in our lives.

@StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego what an unexpected and delightful surprise. Thanks so much for your thoughtful bd gift. I did not have a book sleeve and I love it. What a treat to find this waiting for me when I got home today. #poutinepenpals ❤️🇨🇦🥰 Thank you.

Been out of pocket for the past few days because hubby & I had not-so-fun reactions to our COVID vaccines, but it was so worth it. Johnson & Johnson one and done - can't wait to get back to "normal" life. Catching up on Litsy today. ☺ #takethatcovid19 #iamnotthrowingawaymyshot

@AmberWB This was the best surprise today when I found your package on my counter after work! You‘re so thoughtful. Now my dilemma: which one to start first 🤔 I love dilemmas like that. Thank you so much! ❤️

I‘ve been holding on to all my #Litsy mail to open today, on Orthodox Christmas and just look at all these beautiful cards. Thank you to all the wonderful members of the #PoutinePenPals and #LitsyLove groups for this outpouring of kindness and joy. ❤️ I am thankful everyday to be part of such an amazing community.

Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much, @Sleepswithbooks for this delightful surprise New Year package!! I am woefully behind on my #LitsyLove mail and this was such a brightener to what has been a stressful day!! I love the candle- and those notecards and notepad are right up my alley, too!! And I am, of course, ecstatic for these titles right off my wishlist!! Thank you for always being a bright spot on Litsy and in my life!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you all so much for all the Litsy birthday wishes! @Pageturner1 @Mitch @Laughterhp @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Bookgoil @Megabooks @Graciouswarriorprincess @MySharonaK @MoonWitch94 @jdiehr @Seekingtardis @LazyOwl @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @JessClark78 @Cupcake12 And a big thank you also to everyone who reached out through email, letters and cards. I am so thankful and blessed to have Litzy and all you wonderful #Littens in my life.

@Chrissyreadit you are awesome!! Thank you sooo much for the gifts. I am so excited for the Darynda Jones series. All the gifts are so great!

Hubs was in a 4 wheeler accident this afternoon and should have died- no lie. Ended up with a concussion and sprained shoulder so here‘s a catch all #wintergames post. Watched 2 hallmark@movies today- highly recommend the Dorothy gale one pictured. My brain is too fried to remember the title. Week one and Early points come to a total of 77. #merryreaders

Mitch! I received your package today, and I‘ve put it on the mantle to be opened closer to the holidays. (The chocolate probably won‘t survive that long though- I‘m already tempted!)

Thank you my dear friend! I wish we could be toasting with hot chocolate in front of a fire somewhere. Hugs 🤗💕

Misty! This wrapping is so fun!
I set the gifts aside to open closer to the holidays, and I did figure out that I needed to open this to find the bookmarks. Will you please let Anna Claire know they are perfect? Just what I wanted!

Thank you my friend! I hope all is well for you. 💕

I am thankful for so many things.... family, friends, my health, Chewie, books, my home and so many more things! #thingsiamthankfulfor #thankfulthoughts @Eggs

I meant to post this earlier 🤦🏾‍♀️ I get side tracked so easily whenever I‘m on my phone.

I am thankful for my health, my family, and my job.

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Thanks for the tag, Misty!

Thankful for this community of wonderful people who have made 2020 so much brighter; living with my family & boyfriend so we don‘t have to be apart; our health; my Grandparents; books; my best friends; and for the safety & security of a home.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! What are YOU grateful for?

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Beside the usual things in my previous post, I am also thankful for...
🍁The PicsArt App that let me create a mashup of photos for someone in a Facebook group that put a smile on at least 300 faces🍁 Walks with my pup 🍁 Old school pic of The Rock that became a Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon 🍁 Inappropriate memes 🍁 Coffee 🍁 Cookies 🍁Music 🍁The first gulp of a draft Yuengling 🍁Crunchy leaves 🍁Wrestling 🍁Baseball🍁

Today I am thankful to have been able to get the annual 5k done, eat a good meal with my husband and kids and now laying around as one should after running and too much supper! ☺️ later I will be thankful for pie! 🥧 🦃 🏃‍♀️ @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Thanks for the tag @Eggs 😊

I am #thankful for:
1. A fridge full of delicious food
2. A low-key Thanksgiving at home
3. Comfy pjs
🧡🦃

Happy Thanksgiving friends! Thanks @katy4peas for sharing this:
1. Inch by inch my garden grew!
2. Litsy friends near and far share.
Please feel free to share your six words too!

1. For my family and friends. This year would have been a lot harder without them.
2. My sister, niece, and all the other frontline hero‘s who put their life on the line everyday to help during this pandemic.
3. My coworkers and coteachers. I won‘t have been able to get this year without their listening ear and being able to bounce ideas off of them.
4. Litsy. This community of book lovers has meant so much to me!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Looking back, what a year it‘s been.
I am thankful for the health of my family, first and foremost. I became a Nana this year and am beyond thankful for that. Our daugjter moved to CO to be closer to us. ❤️ And I am thankful for the wonderful Litsy site and the many wonderful friends I have made here.💕

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

The stuffing is made, the pie is baked, and the table is set for our very tiny Thanksgiving. I miss my family this year, but I am going to spend the next few days with my hubby, kids, animals, and a few good books! #readingthanksgiving #thankful #grateful

Thank you so much @robinb for the lovely thoughtful 🐌📫.... completely made my day! I‘m so thankful for our friendship 💕

Saw this late last night, but thankful for the new furnace being installed, just in time for snow and the cold nights of winter.

I fell off the wagon but intend to finish strong 😂 Day 4: My co-workers went to an enormous amount of trouble so I could quarantine for 2 weeks to be able to see my dad for his 81st birthday in Oct. It was the first time I had seen him since last Christmas. Day 5: Thankful for all the swap hosts this year! Day 6: My dog makes me smile every day Day 7: Looking forward to #WinterGames, swap days, holiday movies, anything I can do to spark joy!

What a lovely idea from @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks & @Andrew65 both of whom work so hard to keep Litsy a positive, happy place!!

I could #SharetheLove with so many Littens as I have made so many delightful friends & connections here!! But I would especially like to thank @jb72 & @Eggs who regularly encourage everyone to post things that make them thankful & happy. I don't always have time to participate but every time I see a gratitude post ⬇

Look what came today from @Crazeedi - another beautiful card and bookmark. @Tove_Reads #BookmarkMe

Love this bookmark! You are so talented at crafts!

1) Cool Fall mornings
2) Setting clocks back (I love this time of year 🧡)
3) It's Thanksgiving month. It's a holiday I feel gets run over and forgotten and yet my favorite and an important one. Especially this year!! 😊
@jb72

So many awesome events starting November 1! 🎉📚
I‘m reposting all the ones I‘ve seen so far.

#thankfulthoughts November photo challenge hosted by the wonderful @Eggs

If you haven‘t participated in a photo challenge, all you do is find an image or book that meets the daily prompt and post it! Photo challenges are a lot of fun.

A bit late for this one. #thankfulthursday @Cosmos_Moon
Thanks for the tag, @LitStephanie
1. I do vote - always (but I‘m not an American subject). Any vote not handed in helps the victory of the unwanted.
2. While teaching in times of Corona - still a good nights sleep. 😴😴😴 I am exhausted right now.

I want to thank everyone for the birthday love. Especially #litsylove penpals. To answer some of the questions from your lovely cards. I haven‘t been reading anything at the moment due to helping kids with online school, cleaning, decorating and catching up with Netflix shows and@movies and also helping friends and family. There‘s not enough hours in a day to do anything. Lol anyways thanks again. 💋

I finally crossed the 100k and didn‘t notice for awhile!
😂Thanks to all the Littens !An uplifting place that has given me comfort in these crazy times and has lead me to great reads I might not have found otherwise!📚📚

#thankful #wordsofoctober @OriginalCyn620 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

🐶❤️🙏🏼

• Hey #LitsyLovelies, I'd like to start a #thankfulchain full of #goodthings we are #happy about in our lives. It's part of my attempt to #keepLitsypositive. We don't have to wait until Thanksgiving to share our blessings.

So what are you thankful for, in general and especially right now in your life? I'm generally thankful for my son and family, but especially thankful to still be breast-feeding after 9 months 😁 •

#friends #LitsyLove
