Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m looking for to #WinterGames2024!

First time participant, so I‘m hoping to bring my team, #ChristmasChapterChasers headed by @StayCurious , some points next month!

I am beyond happy that the #wintergames is back this year! I'm starting to get very festive already and this is always a highlight of my year

Thank you so much to @staycurious and @liseworks for hosting 😍

Lol that‘s a nice number. I had lofty goals! And then life happens but that‘s alright. Go #teamsnowangels!

#wintergames #wintergames2023 #wintergames23 #snowangels #teamsnowangels

1) The Salt Grows Heavy, which I‘m currently rereading
2) Easily Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi
3) nope :)
4) I truly have no idea what Boxing Day is

#wintergames #wintergames2023 #wintergames23 #snowangels #teamsnowangels

Meant to post this at the beginning of the month when we first put up our tree. Do you spy the book ornaments? 😜

1 - Favorite - ahhh so hard to choose. Undoctored by Adam Kay was my favorite non-fiction. But a year end favorite I haven‘t raved about yet on here was The Anti-Hero by Sara Cate. Recommend for fans of the Priest series by Sierra Simone.

2 - Least favorite - The Boy with The Bookstore by Sarah Echavarre Smith ⬇️

#snowflakesquad there is another mini game for #wintetgames

1) PJ's
2) I don't usually go to bed until 2am anyway
3) I don't drink so mug?
4) Sofa
5) Neither, bare feet or socks. Can't be doing with slippers or high heels.

I don't like going out. Going out on NYs sounds awful 😂

@BarkingMadRead @Maggie4483 @Ash.on.the.line @Marmie7 @Nazgul93 @Crazycatperson @ImperfectCJ @faranae

1. Babel by R. F. Kuang
2. A Version of the Truth by B. P. Walter
3. A big family party!
4. We attended a friend's annual Boxing Day party, which was much nicer than fighting crowds at the mall.
5. We normally get a white Christmas here in Southwestern Ontario but sadly, we had a grey, rainy and foggy Christmas this year.

#wintergames #snowangels

1. This is super hard to pick! My top 3 are Sleeping Giants, Wanderers & The Starless Sea. Sleeping Giants probably wins as just so unique and I devoured it!

2. Ravished - absolutely dreadful.

3. Just chilling, as still recovering from surgery and not big on NYE generally (especially with a noise-phobic dog!)

4. Yes - but just chilled, read & watched Xmas films 😁

5. It was a very very wet Christmas 😒

#snowflakesquad here is a mini game to get some last minute points #wintergames

@BarkingMadRead @Maggie4483 @Ash.on.the.line @Marmie7 @Nazgul93 @Crazycatperson @ImperfectCJ @faranae

We have some #wintergames last minute points available team #snowangels ❄️

1. The first one that came to mind was Babel!
2. I read some pretty awful TikTok romances but I don‘t remember them well enough to pick one
3. Yep I do it with my family the English way 🍗
4. Rainy but very atmospheric!

Team #snowangels I am so sorry! I have to confess that I forgot to post the team game for this week 😞 I‘ve been wrapping up work for before Christmas and it completely slipped my mind I am SO sorry. We still have a few more days to play though so get those points!

#wintergames

This week's game has been extended until Jan 1st! This is a great little point earner and you can chill out and do it as you watch TV or trick people into helping you.

#snowflakesquad #wintergames @BarkingMadRead @Maggie4483 @Ash.on.the.line @Marmie7 @Nazgul93 @Crazycatperson @ImperfectCJ @faranae

Love this game where you can earn infinite points! See how many words you can get from the following phrase.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS WINTERGAMERS

Thanks for the game, @PuddleJumper

Good luck Team #restinggrinchface @Airykah13 @katiekat311 @Bookworm54 @AmandaBlaze @tdrosebud @Coueriamb @RedxoHearts @Sarahreadstoomuch

Another game where you can earn infinite points! See how many words you can get from the following phrase;

#SantasBookshELVES

It's nearly time for #wintergames to start #snowflakesquad Are you ready?

Sorry, I haven't been very active. I've had a cough for the last two weeks and I'm still pretty exhausted.

1) Something short, I've got a few KU romances under 200 pages

2) I'm working in the morning and then I'm probably sleeping! 🤣 I've got to post the #castthedie rolls

3) Wrapping presents because I've forgotten what I've bought people

Hey #TeamReindeerGamers Last day to get those #EarlyBirdPoints #WinterGames officially starts tomorrow. I will be posting the first game for week one in the morning. Don't forget to tag me with your photo challenges, your reads, and keep your eyes peeled for the #BuddyReads Keep track of those points. @Clwojick @StayCurious 🎄🎁⬇️

Aaaand here‘s the companion bingo board, long dark nights. I love a dark Christmas, I love horror and folklore and spooky things waiting in forests. I‘d love if anyone wanted to join me for #wintergames 🌲🌲🌲

Just a reminder for anyone looking for #wintergames bingo boards or readathons that my Bright Cold Days bingo is all about bright snow, family, togetherness and food and the companion bingo board is all about long dark nights, ghosts and storms. I‘m excited to see what people come up with to fit these! I‘d love for anyone to participate 🥰

Aaaand here's my #WinterGames TBR list! The font is tiny because I screenshot my spreadsheet and I know there's no way I'll read them all but I'm a massive mood reader and I need options! #SantasBookshELVES 🎄📚💖

Final #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo of 2023 😱

Tagging others in this post cos I signed up to #wintergames last week and haven‘t been tagged in any posts so just wanted to check I‘m not too late and can join in 🙏🎄

Hey #TeamReindeerGamers. 3 more days, and the games begin. I hope you have been doing your #EarlyBird and keeping track of those points. Here is the #WinterGames #WordSearch for all those books you are going to read in Dec. Each word you find is worth 10 pts each. @annahenke @kezzlou85 @JessClark78 @Karons1 @TorieStorieS @MatchlessMarie @aperfectmjk @Bluebird

#snowedin @AmandaBlaze happy reading!

Sorry this has gone up late, I‘ve been ill or week and mostly been sleeping.

You‘ll have been tagged in a comment with the name of the Litsy user you are picking for, their list, and how many books you can pick, for example;

@PuddleJumper - Pigpen_Reads (LINK) 5

Puddlejumper is picking 5 books for Pigpen_Reads from the provided link.

You have until Thursday December 30th to pick the books and post them.

Reposting for all those wanting to play the #wintergamesatoz #wgatoz bingo for #wintergames.

Hey team! Here‘s a bit about me:
1. I‘m excited for a super fun staff party at my school. #litsyteachers
2. Sharing my reading adventures, the games and a few holiday movies!
3. On my comfy couch, with a fuzzy blanket, a dog on my lap and a great book. Alternatively, listening to an audiobook while crafting.

@emilymdxn @kwmg40 @texreader @5feet.of.fury @sblbooks @msradiosilence

One more bingo board for #wintergames that I'm reposting for team #snowangels! This one is hosted by the wonderful @alldebooks and is a board for short stories so it should be super easy to fit quick little reads on these themes in. I have a lot of Christmas ghost story collections and all Carol Ann Duffy's little Christmas books so I'm veeeery excited. #midwintersolaceshortstoryboard

Hey #teamsnowangels!

1. I‘m neopagan, so lighting candles on Yule is always a good time. My boyf has also found out about Jolabokaflod and we‘re gonna start this year since we‘re currently long distance.

2. Finishing out 2023 strong! I‘ve hit a slump this month that I‘m excited to crawl out of.

3. Picture this: a bay window seat, it‘s snowing. My cat on my lap, so many blankets. A snack board and some eggnog. And I‘m off work. Heaven lol
