Busy, busy evening...TV showed another of my favorite Christmas movies, and then showed an encore 🤩🎄📺💫💝...yeap, I watch the encore too 😂.

This one has Miracle On 34th Street vibes, except with Jesus instead of Santa.

FYI My list of favorite Christmas movies is very, very, very long 🎬🥳.

repost for @CBee:

So many of you have posted your lists and it seems your host is late to the party 😂😂 Here we go! I‘m not keeping to my lists, but I AM reading my Kindle a lot 🤷‍♀️😀 #readyourkindle #readyournook #readyourkobo #readyourebooks

My November reads weren't that good. I was dealing with the election fallout and couldn't
concentrate in the beginning. What I did read, I really liked. Looking forward to December and #WinterGames.

My package is out!

We had a very busy weekend planned...a change in plans has granted an opportunity for cozy reading, Christmas specials/movies, and relaxation 📚📺🧸💝.

And on the final day of Native American Heritage Month 2024...

A Box Office Hit that has made history 🎬🥳💝.

We haven't watched yet!

Happy #5JoysFriday to you all ?

1+2. In a time of queerphobia, Switzerland actually voted in favour of the queer community. The first one was about the ESC (and Nemo), which was accused of being a demonic event (by a far right religious party). Funny enough, 66.6% of the people in Basel voted for the demonic event (and Nemo)?
In Zurich the strong right wing party SVP wanted to prohibit the use of the use of the "Genderstern", which is used ⬇️

Thank you Litsy, for letting me share my manga reads ☺️ And thank you, my Litsy-friends for checking out my blurbs 📚❤️

#thankyou

Last week manga reads ☺️

I really really into Kaiju8 and Hell‘s Paradise! Both series keep me wanting to read more 😈🤘🏼

Thinking of @TheBookHippie while listening to this episode! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/borrowed/id1453877748?i=1000678397270

It's shilling time! This is a great UK based company that has genre based subscription boxes. They focus on lesser known authors, or at least not big authors/books on bestseller list

I've bought subscriptions for friends and family multiple times. They've always had authors and titles they hadn't heard of

£4 off with my link because yes I would love money off my next box! 😅

@StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego dropped off my #StuffedStockingSwap today (we live in the same city and Canada Post is on strike) and included the SWEETEST care package!

I‘ve had some sort of stomach virus and warned her (via @Avanders ) that she might not want to be in close proximity to me for the next few days. I hope you didn‘t see my goblin-like form when I opened the front door (I thought it was a parcel I was expecting from The Bay). 😂 ⬇️

1. Mexican hot chocolate 😋
2. My family: open on Xmas Eve; His family: Xmas Day
3. Star topper
4. Neither. We do Tamales and Sarmale.
5. We stay at home for Xmas but then travel for 2 weeks right after.

Two of my favorite American Indigenous TV shows for children and kidults 😉📺💝.

I started reading and collecting manga long long ago. And I‘ve noticed how prices have increased over the decades. I pulled a few old volumes to compare. The cheapest in my collection was $7.95, but average back then was $8.99
(VIZ Media most affordable). VIZ Media is still most affordable with the cheapest at $9.99, and average at $11.99.

Fascinating 🧐

@Kshakal your #CBBC box is on its way as is #SSS ☃️

1. I‘ve been listening to Linkin Park all week.
2. In March, I did this chalk art at an IDD (Intellectual & Developmental Disorder) Awareness Day event and I also had my face painted with a butterfly on my cheek. I have Autism and that falls under the IDD umbrella.
3. I made a Shelfie on the Fable app
4. I was pre-approved for more Netgalley ARCs.
5. I went for a walk to the park and made more progress in my walking game.

#5joysfriday

Thanks @debinhawaii for creating this fun play-card & for the tag 🌺😉👍💝.

1- we begin our Christmas decorating Nov. 3rd and try to have it all ready by mid-Nov. We're running a bit behind schedule on the finishing touches, yet this is a joy because transforming our house for Christmas is a magical delight!

2- I joined on for #SeriesLove2025 here on Litsy 📚🥳.

3- enjoying a bit of reading time beside the Christmas tree each evening 🎄📚.

👇

This book right here!!!! I got this book as a gift. I am not a huge Nanny troupe person, but this was worth reading.

Yowza! I can‘t believe it‘s time for #5JoysFriday again! Time to list those 5 things big or small that brought you joy this week. 💛💛💛

When the spirit moves you, make your post & tag it with #5JoysFriday & tag me (& others to join the joy party if you want). You can use the graphic/background however you want or not at all.

Tagging a few friends to get the joy party started & of course, everyone is welcome-so please join in the joy! 🤗

Cozy mystery fans, I will be hosting #ThematicCozies in 2025. This is a very low-key challenge. Simply read a cozy mystery each month that fits your interpretation of the monthly theme. Then post a review using the #ThematicCozies hashtag and tag me. Same concept as this year‘s #SeasonalCozies, but with themes instead of seasons. 😄

Tagging those who participated in #SeasonalCozies this year, but all are welcome! ⬇️

More library check outs for today😍📚

Look what I found!!!

Anyone remember shopping at Borders bookstore??

Loved that place ❤️📚☺️

#borders #bookstore

MISSING:
Sex Criminals 3-4
Monstress 3
Lady Mechananika 3
