Welcome to Litsy!

Just in case anyone still needs a suggestion for a gift for me!! 🤓

1. No, I usually don‘t, but I‘ve never turned one down! 🤣
2. Yes, especially to youngsters. I also love to give them if I have access to someone‘s TBR list. 📚

Not a bad stack... all of my new books I got as gifts for Christmas!!! #newestbook #anewchapter @vkois88 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Hope all of you had a fantastic day today! I just wanted to share with you what I got for Christmas. Pretty much all non-fiction books except for Bird Box (saw the movie by the way). I also got a CD for a band that I listen to and a Regal movie gift card.

My family and I had a laid back day today. Didn't do much, other than seeing my Grandma. Anyways, have a great rest of your day everyone! 😊 Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄🎁

Wow! Look at this bodacious bookish bounty! 😍 Thank you for these wonderful Christmas gifts, my beloved @MrBook ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I can already tell 2019 is off to a great start! 🤗🥰 📚📚📚📚📚📚 #Christmas #bookhaul

Before I get to wrapping, here‘s all the books I‘m giving as gifts for Christmas... swaps not included 📚🎁 #BookHaul

So much #litsy mail arrived today! Thank so much @Schnoebs for the amazing #9daysoflitmas box of amazing bookish goodies. I love it so much!!!
My #jolabokaflodSwap has also arrived but waiting of course til Christmas Eve to open! Thanks @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing!

Saw this little box game today....basically a Top Trumps for authors! Perfect for Bookclub Christmas party! #shoppingsuccess

What's everyone's favorite book box for #fantasy lovers? I told my husband I want a subscription for Christmas, but I'm torn between #Uppercase and #Shelflove at the moment.

Congratulations to @Schnoebs on hitting her litfluence milestone and thank you for hosting such a fun Holiday giveaway! Such a good idea! #9daysoflitmas

Some belated bookishness all wrapped and ready for a late Christmas weekend! 🎁 #dogsoflitsy

I also got Barnes & Noble and amazon gift cards so I don‘t have to feel guilty about breaking my book buying ban😏😉

Some of my favorite Christmas gifts were a book nightlight from my sister‘s boyfriend and socks from my mom😏

Just to believe that Santa came, I opened two box subscriptions today: those are the first two books that you see. The top book was a gift from a swap we made at work. It is a special edition of 100 years of solitude. I'm not a fan of this novel but with this edition I will read it😍It has beautiful illustrations!

My brother won't see this so I can post a sample of the absolutely adorable #cookies I got him for #Christmas!

I have my books and Christmas gifts packed for my trip! (Most of my gifts were already shipped there.) So I‘m basically ready for Saturday except for that whole clothes thing! Two more days, three nights...then home. ❤️🎄🎄❤️

Two of my friends and I wanted to do something charitable this season, so we got involved with a group that helps support young adults who age out of foster care. Thankfully my friends are crafty af bc the totes are handmade, and every bag contains a handmade scarf. Also books, notebooks, visa gift cards, coffee mugs and other items fill the bags. ❤🎄📚🍫☃️

#underthetree so far. Looks like what could be lots of books? And a little doggie butt. #decktheshelves #missruby

I got my #whodunitdoeschristmas and #secretsantagoespostal /#wintersolsticebookexchange gifts wrapped! I‘m going to put them in the mail tomorrow after work along with some other goodies! My nerdy heart is happy that the cards I‘m sending are also bookmarks! 🤓🎄 @Tiffy_Reads @MrBook @BookBabe @Avanders

I find that I‘m never happier than when I‘m giving to others. Weather it‘s gifts, or time, or just love, nothing fills my heart with joy as much as that. Because of this, I‘ve spent a very happy day today getting packages ready to be sent out tomorrow. I actually stopped to laugh at myself at one point because I realized I was just grinning like an idiot. 😄🎁🎄
@crazycatlady @callielafleur @aschermetz @kylienoele These are for you ladies! ❤️

When your wrapping paper is bookish.... 😍😍😍 I‘m sure my family will know which gifts are from me! 😂

All wrapped up! Going to decorate the box, pack it all up, and mail it off tomorrow hopefully! And yes that is taco and cactus wrapping papers. #secretsantagoespostal #wintersolsticebookexchange

Got to love when you win some extra $$ to a great sale!!!! Hope to get some great finds for family and my #secretsantagosepostal match!!!!

This is my “I wonder what came in that big, heavy box that was delivered with my hubs name on it today” face. I could hear him opening it and exclaiming “Oh wow!” and “that‘s so awesome!” Now I‘m SUPER curious as to what it is, and Christmas is still 5 weeks away! 🤔🎁 I‘m going to guess that it‘s books. But there are so many that I want, it doesn‘t exactly narrow it down! 😆

1. Strands and Barnes and Noble
2. Kindle
3. Starbucks or The Bean in NYC

1. Purple, black, red, blue

Bookish Christmas Gifts, Part III: Mom also got me a couple shirts. I thought the one on the right was extra clever! ☺️🤓

Bookish Christmas Gifts, Part II: Mom also got me a couple nightshirts and a tote bag!! I love them! Bookish Gifts are the best!! 🤓🤓

Bookish Christmas Gifts Part I: my mom got me a quilt that's a bookcase with books in different paisley prints!!

Part two of #BookishGifts... the non-book edition. I've already been named champion of Book Lover's Trivial Pursuit. 😏#seasonsreadings2016

?I can't believe it! @MrBook got me a Christmas book for every time I said "I want a Christmas book!" ???????? He is just amazing! I've never received this many books for a holiday before! ????????18 Christmas books and 14 non-Christmas books. Wowee! No shortage of Christmas stories for next year! ??? #ChristmasBookBounty

Wow! As I was making our after-dinner tea, @MrBook went into a wrapping frenzy, and I returned to the living room to find this pile of presents underneath our Christmas tree! 🎄Don't make fun of our tree, it's doing the job! 😝I think I counted 32. And they look suspiciously book-shaped, don't you think? 🤔😉

Awesome meeting with the #2030SomethingBookClub! The #bookswap was a blast. So many books that weren't on the recipient's radar! We'll have a great time next month hearing about all of them. 😊🙌🏻📚🎁 It even started snowing right after the meeting, to enhance the holiday spirit! ❄️With @MrBook , @MysteryAuthor , @LinaEwe , @BrooklynBookGirl , @BookPixie , @Suggestions , @YukonCorny ! 😁

Yay! Got a nice pile of books for our #BookSwap with the #2030SomethingBookClub! Wonder what's inside! 😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻📚🎁
