Welcome to Litsy!

2 unrelated things in the same post:
1) I received my #littlechristmasswap box from @MrsGagnonreads2024 @bookish_wookish
2) My friend gave me this handmade basket for Christmas. It‘s from a craft vendor we often see at fairs. My coffee table has become to cluttered with books/other papers, so I cleaned it off. Now, the basket can hold my current book, kindle, & some bookmarks/notecards. We‘ll see how long this lasts lol

Squeals of delight!

Look what‘s arrived…on the last day before the naughty posties go on strike again! @CarolynM - how funny that we were only talking about this earlier… and @BarbaraBB - it took a while but made it in the end! 😘😘

I‘m flip-flopping between opening them now, or waiting until Christmas, or maybe Christmas Eve so I can participate in Jolabokaflod… but I‘m having a rubbish day so the first option seems most likely, to cheer me up! 😁

I received this today but not sure what gift exchange it‘s for! I only signed up for #creepychristmas & #jolabokaflod I think. I hope I‘m not missing one. 😅

Our holiday in Norway got extended due to quarantine, lockdown, and snowfall. Not too bad since it's all home learning and home office anyway. Finally made it back home last night, and we had Xmas gifts waiting for us. 😄 Very happy with this haul, (although I hate the layout of the SF Masterworks series, with tiny print and almost no margins). Especially excited that I got the translation I wanted of Madam Bovary (Adam Thorpe) 😁

Thanks so much for the #CanuckChristmasSwap gift, @Alora ! I feel so spoiled with all the sweets and treats. You included all my favourites!🍬 And I‘m really looking forward to reading this book! Merry Christmas!🎄

Thank you, @HeatherBlue for my Christmas gifts! I'm waiting to open on Christmas Eve! ❤🎄🎁

My #ElfSwap gift is on the way @Avanders 🎄

Plus... a book won‘t eat you.

My youngest is thrilled with his Xmas book haul. (And there are a couple more waiting under the tree back home too. The Spouse objected to bringing ALL the heavy gifts back and forth on holiday. In retaliation I left most of his gifts behind, along with the bigger books for the kids. 😆)

I have received so many amazing bookish gifts, it was hard to pick! After looking back through my posts & photos, I am going to go with the beautiful book pillow that I received last year during #StuffedStockingSwap from @JamieLou
it is so beautiful & soft! I love everything I have received since I started on Litsy & as I said it was difficult to choose, but this one stuck out in my mind as it was very unexpected!

Got my #JolabokaflodSwap in the mail today! The giver's handle isn't on the package, so if someone could tag her in the comments, that would be awesome: Vanessa Thomsen.

1. Of course! My family likes lists, so I have wishlists on Amazon, with many, many books. 📚📚📚

2. I do if I know it‘s something that will be appreciated. 🎁
