Welcome to Litsy!

Happy New Year Littens! It's been a while since I've posted but I have been reading so I have lots of reviews to catch up on. Just wanted to stop by and say Hi 👋🏾 as the reality of the end of the holidays and the start of a new year sets in, I will slowly start to catch up on posting reviews and writing #litsylove letters. Here's a rare picture of me out in the wild, on a recent solo trip to 🇲🇽 Mexico 🇲🇽

I didn‘t read any of my December #ReadYourEbooks as expected. My focus on #TOB25 and the longlist is winding down a bit now, so hopefully I‘ll get to one or more of these this month!

Happy New Year to my Litsy friends from me and Joseph! I've been absent thanks to my ALA volunteer committee but I'm almost done! One of my goals is to get back into Litsy because I love it and miss it.

I also want to apologize to the #agathachristieclubR2 members for disappearing. I meant to post about needing to pause, but I was mostly avoiding social media.Thanks to @Librarybelle for reviving it with #agathachristieclubR3! I'll be reading!

Goal was 150, but I might lower it for next year…still deciding. What is everyone else doing for reading goals?

Farewell, 2024!
I stayed up late trying to finish one more, but that‘ll have to be this year‘s first book 📕.
In the meantime, here are my stats 🙂

Happy New Year, friends! Wishing you and yours the best in 2025!!💜

Happy 2025 everyone!!

May everyone have a wonderful new year of reading!

I‘m celebrating on New York time, I might not be awake to celebrate in my time zone. 😀Sophie thinks bubbles are funny ! Happy New Year! Find joy wherever you can Litsy friends!🥂

My 2024 Reading Challenge/results. Next year I'm going for larger books so likely won't get through as many and I'm going to try to plow through my massive TBR as a low key challenge.
Happy New Year everyone! 🎆 🎊 🎇

I read 84 books this year, across 21 882 pages, including romance, poetry, science fiction, mystery, fantasy, lit fic, YA, horror, memoir, graphic novels/memoirs, essay collections, and one novel-in-verse (more please!). Almost all queer and trans books! I fell short of my goal of 100, but considering I gave birth to my 2nd kid this year and spent a lot of this year looking after two kids 3 and under, I think I did pretty good! Mostly audiobooks!

Well it's officially 2025 here in the UK so HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all. Hope it's a good year for everyone.

Happy New Year!!! 🎊🎆📚

Happy New Year from Sydney! The Harbour fireworks are still going. Here‘s to a better year all round for everyone. This also kicks off my #JumpStart2025 #readathon (though you can start at your own time zones if you wish). Good luck everybody!💥

I only read a couple of the books #MatchlessMarie has on her list. Over half are on my tbr already! This will be fun🎉
Thank you! @monalyisha #AuldLangSpine 2025

2025 #Bookspin & #Doublespin is just around the corner…I can‘t even begin to wrap my mind around this. Let‘s do it! 🙌🏼🥳💜 Here‘s my list for January!

Is this considered an #insectcvr??
One of the creepiest books I‘ve ever read

Probably one of the most iconic set of twins 😍 #NewYearNewBooks #twins @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

A little late but better than never. I didn't reach my goal of 100 books this year but I'm still pretty happy with 59. The last year and a half hasn't been the best but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Points for second half came in at 46,847 giving a total for the whole month of 84,816. Most were from the word search throughout the month. I read some good books and had lots of fun. Well done @LiseWorks for being our team captain. And all the others too. Yay to our team for each point they got.

Since I haven‘t posted here in quite a while I thought I‘d reintroduce myself.

I‘m Gabrielle. My favorite genres are Fantasy and Historical Fiction. And when I‘m not reading I can be found playing Disney Dreamlight Valley (I‘m addicted) or stocking the shelves at Kroger.

I‘m also 34 today.

Happy New Year, Littens! Definitely NOT my best year reading. Ashleigh's senior year + BFA audition process = decrease in reading, but I wouldn't change a thing. Here's to a goal of 80 books in 2024!

Happy New Year, Littens #2024

Ok nowwww I can share my year in books 🤣 I fell short of my 140 book goal but it was still satisfying to end up with 123 for 2023. Just going to shoot for 100 for 2024 since I am trying to focus on physical books acquired by swaps and giveaways and such. Happy reading nerds! 📚🥳 #AcquiredViaLitsy2024

Nice and quiet- charcuterie board, champagne and watching Anderson Cooper drink shots on CNN. Always a favorite! Happy 2024 to you all! #wintergames #santasbookshelves

In my 20s, the answers to 1,2,4, and 5 would‘ve been the opposite! 🤣
Now, I stay comfy and cozy at home. I do still have champagne and usually I watch the movie New Year‘s Eve. Then go to bed at a reasonable time!

Hi! We‘re hosting a book talk for New Years on an app called WhatNot. Usually people sell things (like books) but tonight we‘re just talking about our favorite reads of 2023. It‘s a casual hang and I thought maybe you‘d like to join. It‘ll be under the name Posh_Salad. HAPPY 2024!!!

Wishing you all a year full of books and reading and everything else you hope for 🎆

I‘ve not been a NYE person since my late teens/early 20s - we‘ve always just enjoyed a quiet one at home watching films and eating & drinking too much!

My typical NYE is spent at a house party with some lifelong friends. This year is a bit different where my fiancé and I are at home. We haven‘t decided what to do yet! ? #wintergames #readitandwreath

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!!
Will be a quiet one for me, going to spend my night just reading

Happy New Year‘s Eve, Everyone! 🎆🎉

#WinterGames #ThisorThat I'm too old to go partying. I love my home and to be quiet and peaceful evenings. I do okay to have a bubbly 🍾 and sit and read a book for #WinterGames. @TeamReindeerGamers @StayCurious @Clwojick
