Welcome to Litsy!

Reading a Christmas book at Starbucks (that isn‘t in the Litsy library) and just had to buy a cup and a cookie 🤷🏻‍♀️

Here‘s a fun, low-key swap….and can‘t we all use a little fun in our lives these days? Visit @bookish_wookish for sign up details.

Here are the gift tags I just finished #litsycrafters @Catsandbooks

1. Who can ever pick?? I read so many good ones this year… I guess Ink, Blood, Sister, Scribe
2. Probably When I‘m Dead by Hannah Morrissey
3. Just hanging out with the (adult) kids, maybe we‘ll go to a bar and maybe we‘ll stay in
4. We do not! It‘s mostly a pajama day here
5. Green and brown, we have tons of lovely evergreens! And it doesn‘t snow here but it did get chilly.

Thank you for Christmas card, @Librarybelle Enjoy your holiday!!

I‘m kinda feeling meh about Christmas this year and it feels as though I am going through the motions at the moment.

Thanks for the tag, @peanutnine !!

1. While it doesn‘t get very cold here in Florida, when it does my favorite wintery beverage is a hot chai latte

2. It changes but the most prevalent one is 🎶Rockin Around the Christmas Tree🎶 or whatever it‘s called 🤣

3. I love getting under double blankets, putting on some fireplace ASMR on YouTube, and reading before the (fake) fire

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

Hey #GhostsofXmas team! I‘ve been seeing you tagging me in posts for the last week and I‘ve wanted to participate but I was in Disney World last week - absolute blast (though the Christmas party could‘ve been warmer 😂)! Just didn‘t want anyone to think I was ignoring you!

But I‘m home now and getting back into reading. I‘m excited to start posting all the time and wrack up some points with games and of course reading!

@BookwormAHN #wintergames

🎄The angel on top of the tree!
🎄My mom - she left us way too soon (1939 - 1991)
🎄Usually the outside lights. The indoor tree goes up last because we like to keep it up at least until 1/5.

@Eggs #wondrouswednesday

1. Cookies
2. @tiedyedude
3. The tree

#wondrouswednesday @eggs

🎅 Annual dr checkup then to work. Then hopefully pouring into #wintergames

🤶 I need to finish Us Against You (which will be helpful for my atoz bingo board), Homecoming, and No Time Like the Past. My first Christmas read will probably be A Christmas Carol because I ❤️ it.

❄️Tomorrow I‘ll be working, then I plan on getting some Christmas decorations up, I‘m not doing everything as we won‘t be home for Christmas, but I want some holiday cheer!
❄️ I‘ll be finishing up Kindred by Octavia Butler and starting up The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose and maybe some other reads too!

Last day to get those early bird points Team #restinggrinchface ! #WinterGames Please tag me in your posts so I can cheer you on! Please keep track of your points, we‘ll have check ins where I‘ll tally points. @Airykah13 @katiekat311 @Bookworm54 @AmandaBlaze @tdrosebud @Coueriamb @Sarahreadstoomuch

1. Yes, just a tree (due to laziness - I'd love to have Grizwald level home decor).
2. The tree. I turn it on in the morning, and it sits by the fireplace. It makes me happy just being in the same room with it.
3. Do They Know It's Christmas - I had that one as one of those tiny record singles when I was a kid. Also, Christmas in Dixie is a sentimental favorite, and I love Pentatonix Christmas songs.

Here‘s my TBR for #wintergames 😄📚🎄 So excited for December!! @BookwormAHN

💚 Terry‘s Chocolate orange but I also love ginger snaps. Peppermint bark too!
❤️Christmas movie marathons
💚 I like the games
❤️ Oh there‘s a lot, half the year is winter😂 Maybe snowmobiling or going to the sugar bush every year. For some reason I have a lot of fun memories of jumping into snowbanks.

#WinterGames #GingerbreadGems

Putting together my December #bookspin list full of holiday books and realized that instead of green and read, it‘s I retesting that they tend to have a blue color palette. Also just noticed the type of “read” instead of red but it feels totally appropriate so I‘m keeping it 😂

And just like that, it‘s Christmastime. LOL 🎄

Happy Black Friday to all who observe. I‘ll be on my couch reading.

I need some recommendations! For my church book club, I want to use a Christmas-themed book next month. I need something light-hearted, maybe a cozy mystery (like 12 Slays of Christmas), not too long, and no spicy romance. Please help!

Are there any christmas card swaps on this year? #cardswaps #litsyevents

I haven‘t done a swap all year, mostly because of finances, but I can‘t pass up my favorite one. Already signed up—you all should sign up, too! See @MaleficentBookDragon for sign-ups

I just signed up! Hoping to lower my TBR and have a lot of holiday fun! 🥰💛. Check the sign up link on @StayCurious or @Clwojick page.

We are in it right now. Wes is still not sleeping in his bed and just endlessly screaming. We don‘t know what to do anymore.

We have one more Christmas to go, but here are my favorite bookish Christmas presents so far! I thought the bag would be bigger but it should still be ok for our library trips. The pouch is for my kindle to go in my purse bc I have a book cover on it and it gets a little banged up sometimes.

These 3 lovely cards arrived today ! Thank you Carolyn and Paula , and thank you Jessie. What a dotey little bookmark Jessie 🥰 Thankyou All for thinking of me XXX

My newest t-shirt - Christmas gift from my mom. ☺

Hey everyone, I graduated from college! I got a BA in history and I‘m now applying to graduate school in political science. I also finished my senior thesis, which ended up being 78 pages long… It‘s titled, In the Shadows of Brotherhood: Analyzing Three Women‘s Gendered Political Roles, Contributions, and Alternative Discourses in the Club of Great Powers During the Late Bronze Age (1500-1200 BC). I start a new job at Barnes and Noble tomorrow!

Merry Christmas from me and these little monsters. I hope all my litten friends have had a wonderful Christmas full of fun and books. My hubby got me invisible book shelves for Christmas. I‘m very excited to put them up! 🎄❄️❤️

Happy Christmas, everyone 😁🎆🎄🌟🌟✨

Merry Christmas everyone! May your day be filled with books, chocolate, and family! 🎄🎅📚🍫

Going on 19hrs without power....on Xmas Eve. The house isn't clean, the gifts aren't wrapped but Santa is coming either way!! Luckily, the generator is enough to keep us warm, somewhat fed and entertained for a while so we aren't going too nuts 🤣🤣

Hope everyone who celebrates has an amazing holiday!! Stay warm and stay safe 🥰🥰

Huge thank you to @BookwormAHN for my #jolabokaflodswap goodies and book! Love 💕 it!
And thanks to @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing!
Merry Christmas Eve and happy holidays! ❤️🎄🎁🎅🏻

December 22nd
I love to make personalised hampers, nothing too extravagant but love to personalise them with peoples favourite treats ❤️

I waited as long as I could but today's my last day before vacation so I can't wait anymore.

I know it's supposed to be secret but @DinoMom your #CreepyChristmas is on its way! It's more Christmas than creepy right now because the rest of the gift hasn't come in yet. I'll send it out whenever it makes it's appearance. I'm expecting it will be in the New Year. But something's better than nothing, right?

@teebe

My grandparents made this Christmas Village in 1980. I ended up with it! It's my favorite Christmas Decoration.

Forgot to post in all the chaos of the weekend but my #Jolabokaflod packages are out and on their way! I did ship later than I should have but both show delivery on Wednesday so they should definitely make it to their homes in time for the holidays 🎄
