Welcome to Litsy!

#flatlayfriday

Another shameless attempt to import this Instagram trend to Litsy 🤣🤣

I just love making aesthetically pleasing pictures with my books!

These are all books about books 😊😇

Adding my #LastTenBooks to the discussion. I couldn‘t finish King Lear when we read it in my college Shakespeare class, so I watched the movie adaptation over Christmas break 😬
I don‘t know that I‘ve ever lost or couldn‘t find a book that I own? My house is … small.

Thanks for posting! Fun.

I work with some of the best people! Came in feeling grumpy this morning and found this on my desk, from one of the English teachers i work with ❤

This book was a comfort and a joy. I picked it up at the library, came home and read it cover to cover. If you ever need to forget the world and destress, may I suggest this book. A book for book lovers. #52bookclub23 #booksoncover @jlhammar @batsy @Deblovestoread @ravenlee @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @Bluebird @Read4life @AshleyHoss820 @triplem80 @Librarybelle @Jennifer8 @BookBelle84 @Clwojick @LeeRHarry @Smarkies @CarolynM @britt_brooke @KarenUK

Weekly Report

I finished Cold Enough for Snow, my first book for #AuldLangSpine, which was lovely.

After more than a year of (mostly not) reading it, I finally finished Blonde

Currently reading An Exquisite Corpse for bookclub, so Celestial Harmonies, The Rainbow, and The She-Devil in the Mirror are paused.

Also slowly reading through the tagged, which is excellent.

I might have accidentally started my Birthday book splurge a little early this year...

Simply a beautiful, fun book.

#Alphabetgame #LetterB

July was a great reading month for me. I even got two BINGOs! That hasn‘t happened in a long time.

#BookSpinBINGO

Never too busy to make my #BookSpinBINGO list. Happy June, everyone!

Post 2 of my #independentbookstoreday #bookhaul -just the books. Jane Mount the illustrator is a delight. I had to include a better pic of her card for my bookstore with local books that was a freebie in this one. I bought 2 Adam J. Kurtz books that he signed & then a book of his journal stickers. I have been wanting “The Book of Difficult Fruit” & got “The Path to Kindness: Poems of Connection and Joy” because poetry was discounted & I vibed ⬇️

Found this gorgeous reading journal at Barnes and Noble earlier today.

It's on my list to purchase soon! 😍

A must read for any book lover

I was so excited to pick up my two new books from my favorite indie today. I ordered them weeks ago but then… Covid. It‘s a rare occasion I buy new books, but I know these two will have pride of place on my book shelf for years to come so I treated myself.

Such a treat. A book for any book lover.

My absolute favorites were the pages with bookstores and libraries. There‘s so many great one out there.

@DebinHawaii you are awesome! I am ridiculously excited about the books, though the tagged book looks like it‘s just going to increase my TBR exponentially. I‘m tempted to frame & hang all the notecards on my library wall (though I fear there won‘t be room. I‘ve had tea from this brand before & it‘s delicious - tea strainers are always welcome. I told my hubby I must be an adult because I got excited about stamps. Love the bookmarks & washi tape.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jane Mount begins with “The goal of this book is to triple the size of your to be read pile.” Mission accomplished. Filled with beautiful artwork of books, authors, and bookstores, Bibliophile is a necessary addition to any devout reader‘s home library.

Gisela, what a lovely package! ❤️❤️❤️ I am so excited to read the books you choose (and I absolutely love the covers!) and what a pretty book journal! Such a cool idea for saving thoughts, quotes, etc. from books read. A fun mug for fall with its own matching coaster (I always need coasters!), P&P socks?, and very cool bookends! Bell and Ted totally approve ?? And the most delicious turrón! Thank you so much!

🎶It's my birthday and I'll pretend I'm 25 if I want to🎶

Received this lovely gift today. My family know me so well 🥰

Everyone is SO surprised (cough, cough) when I admit I'm 47 today! Feel so young, how did that happen? *puts back out picking coffee mug up* 🤣

This book is as stunning as you would expect. So many books to add to my TBR. 🖤💛

What a beautiful way to start the day! I am so thrilled to receive this much-hoped-for book and yummy chocolates and other sweet things - thank you so much, @guinsgirlreads !!!🎄❤️ #JolabokaflodSwap

Review is up…tons of books to add to your tumbling tbr. Check out my review. https://reecaspieces.com/2021/12/20/bibliophile-diverse-spines-by-jane-mount-and...

If you loved Bibliophile, you‘ll love this one, too—a book about books dedicated to books by authors and illustrators of color. Fabulous! And may I state for the record that I feel all books should come with their own attached ribbon bookmark.

Pixel was not impressed with my 4 bingos...

Because life‘s too short not to have PomPom lights on your bookshelves! 🤣

This book is packed with recommendations and general@bookish wonderfulness! #christmascomesearly !

I‘m a bit of a Jane Mount fangirl - but this is gorgeous! And full of so many new to me authors, books, bookstores - it‘s a delight 🥳

My #Scarathlon2021 total is 44,000!

It made me so weirdly happy that it ended up so even like that, lol. I read 8 novels, 2 novellas, 1 graphic novel, 2 collections and 102 picture books; I listened to 2 novellas and a bunch of spooky short stories.

Thanks @Clwojick & @StayCurious for all your hard work!!! It was, as always, so much fun! ❤🖤🤍

Look what just came through my letterbox 💕 @Graciouswarriorprincess

(I already had the original Bibliophile) the goal of which was to triple my TBR (ha!). The goal of Diverse Spines is to find and read lots of books written by people from different backgrounds ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

I think I'm going to retreat from the world into my bookish cave for a while 😊🦋

So very blessed to attend a wonderful evening with @jane_mount and @bibliophilediversespines !

So informative and fun!! You must buy this book about diverse books, authors and bookstores!

At the release with the authors tonight.

Y‘all. When I sold my townhouse earlier this summer, my husband said I should get one thing I really, really wanted. I have been wanting a custom picture from Ideal Bookshelf for about a decade. I am so excited about this! It came out fantastic & I love it! I can‘t wait till there are walls in my library to hang this up on!
