My best show of restraint and not going both ways for every category 😂 But I (and I think a lot of us here) are the read the book then watch the movie variety 📖 ➡️ 🎥 #hhs #hauntedhollowswap
1. Yes. My son‘s school has a literary pumpkin project most years so we usually carve a book character. Prior pumpkins have been the tree from Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Horton, and the Cat in the Hat
2. Yes size 9-10
3. I love jewel tones like purple, teal and mustard yellow
4. I love a beanie
5. I am a nerd for frostbeard studio candles and tarts
6. I won a costume contest as a Hershey kiss as a kid
7. beanies/slouchy and bandanas too #HHS
1. Definitely the people! Everyone here is so friendly, and I see none of the drama that permeates other social media.
2. Honestly, nothing. Even when I‘m not participating in something, it‘s fun to see other people‘s posts on it.
3. Maybe the ability to message each other?
4. It varies, but usually at least 3 times a week.
5. I haven‘t done any swaps yet! 🙈 But I‘ve enjoyed all the other things.
6. Maybe increase the character limit on posts?
1️⃣ knitting, jigsaw puzzles, photography, playing drums
2️⃣ mystery (but I read almost anything except romance, horror, historical fiction)
3️⃣ Milo, ball python extraordinaire! 💙🐍
4️⃣ I have TBR lists all over creation—not one is accurate or complete. List here should be unowned (now). 😂
5️⃣ Tasmanian Devil, M&Ms (mostly Blue), Animal (Muppet), Funko Pops
6️⃣ Most in 1️⃣ have been neglected—need more Me Time!

#litsylovesurvey #litsylove
Yep! I like reading! Fun stats though 😄
I‘m sure this will change yet (because I‘m not going to stop reading for the next 3 weeks😱) but at this moment the GR survey says:
I read a lot
I liked most of them
My shortest was REALLY Short
My longest was VERY long
Makes sense to me 🤪
😂
Probably true - although I read a lot of women authors already. I‘m sure I could branch out more. #bookriot

If my phone counts as an e-reader than I got all of them!
Total = 31
How many did you guys get? 😃
1. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
2. Noise is fine. Once I‘m in the zone I don‘t hear anything!
3. Pig. 🐖🐖🐖
4. Yes. Definitely. Absolutely. For sure. Yes.
#SundaySurvey

I could use your advice Littlens. If you were expecting a mug, would you be disappointed to get an owl teapot instead?
(I do have a nice mug already but this teapot is adorable.)

@BookBabe and I are all set and ready to share our survey with you tomorrow 😁👍🏻! Just trying to figure out when is the optimal time to do so 🤔. Maybe in lieu of the bookish discussion question of the day, which happens around 5 pm EST? Please keep your 👀 open for the post! Your input is exceedingly valuable to us, and we deeply respect your thoughts. Thank you!!! ☺️
Don't forget, I think @BookBabe and I are on track to have that survey ready when Friday rolls around. Our #LitsyFamily's input will be the most valuable to us ☺️. Please keep your 👀 on the look-out! Thank you!
@BookBabe & I've been developing a bookish project over several months (well, a few, but we're close with this one in particular 😁), and we'll want input. I think on Friday we're going to have a poll up & running, probably on SurveyMonkey. Just wanted to give all of you fantastic Littens a head's up if you're interested in participating. The more the merrier, and the better for us in figuring things out. Keep your 👀 open! Thank you in advance!
