I decided to test out my beginner knitting skills by making a book snake reading tracker. I‘m very pleased it‘s only a little “rustic” looking so far. I‘m also laughing at the comically large (2lbs) bag of stuffing I accidentally ordered.

To all who celebrate...

Happy St. Patrick's Weekend ☘️🥳🍀💚💚💚 and Day (March 17th 2025).

“May the dreams you hold dearest, be those which comes true; the kindness you spread, keep returning to you.“ -An Irish Blessing.

I always believed that the true pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 🌈 is not filled with actual gold, it is a collection of genuine magic...or a passage to a magical library 😉🪄📚💝.

While technically I am still working on both spins for February and one of my spins for January, it‘s not gonna stop me from trying to complete March as well. Luckily, I have one of these done already, and both of them are part of two other challenges. Which is not hard since most of the books on the spin are challenge books… Lol. #bookspinbingo

Happy #5JoysFriday 💛💛💛

My joys have been simple.

1) spending time in the sunshine
2) family walk in the woods, discovering flowers
3) while enjoying the Merlin app
4) book mail is best mail
5) redecorating the children's book nook

@TheBookHippie

There are different versions of this legend, my favorites are the longer ones. I found a shorter version of the beginning from the web so I could share here for International Women's Day 2025.

I always liked the beginning, because I felt it hinted how men need to show respect to all woman... whether they recognize the woman as a Holy person or simply human.

Have A Power-Infused Women's Day!

Thank you @AllDebooks for creating #SaturdayChatterday and thank you @TheSpineView for the tag 💕🐎💝.

After some errands, I plan on a mixture of books & movies...(watch something strong-woman focused to celebrate International Women's Day) while snacking on goodies 📚🎬😋.

Thanks @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.

1- @TheSpineView has returned to Litsy! It's wonderful to know that you're alright and on the mend 🙏🏼💝.

I always keep my Litsy friends in my prayers and good wishes. When regulars vanish (TheSpineView, bthegood, @JudeCC, & other Littens), I remain hopeful that they're simply too busy 💝.

May your recovery be swift TheSpineView, I an enjoying reading your posts again 📚💝.

I'm sure I've watched more...yet it's been years and I'm not 100 percent certain.

-Love Affair (1939)
Love Cary Grant, yet this is my favorite version of this movie. Especially that last scene, I believe Charles Boyer captured the intensity of the moment incredibly more than Grant did (sorry Carry 😘 Grant).

-The Wizard of Oz (1939).

-Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939).

I‘m doing a #Roll100 list for audiobooks and a separate one for physical/ebooks. I‘m really trying to clear space on my shelves & read books I already own.
Here‘s my audiobook progress for January (2) & February (5).

Here‘s my #LitsyAtoZ board by Title. I actually have the same number completed on both my Author & Title boards. 🤓
Thank you for hosting this fun challenge, @Texreader 💙💙

My #LitsyAtoZ by Author board through the end of February. I‘m happy with my progress.

#WeeklyForecast

I‘m happy with the progress I‘m making in my #ReadMyShelves personal challenge. Hopefully I‘ll read some more of my physical books this month. 🤓📚🤓

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky became a hero the day his country was invaded. He has shown that he has the endurance to be the warrior his people need. May Ukraine win the victory of true peace that they are fighting for 🙏🏼🇺🇦💝💝💝.
