Welcome to Litsy!

I recently found a treasure trove of free books online (will add link in comments) and I have spent the last few days downloading every Sweet Valley book they had. I decided to read through the SV Kids series along with my SVT read-through and SV Senior Year. Yes, I am a nerd but I‘ve never read this series and I love the feeling of nostalgia I get when I read any Sweet Valley book. 🤓 I fully credit Sweet Valley books for my love of reading. ⬇️

Thanks, @Kar2b for my first birthday card! As a gift to myself, I‘ve decided to dive into nostalgia and re-read the entire Sweet Valley series! The last time I decided to do this, I fell off at 31 in the SVK series, so hopefully this time I make it through more— especially since I‘ve been collecting the ones that I didn‘t have so I am in for some new reads too! This seventh birthday is fun—& the chocolate cake with marshmallow icing sounds yummy!

All these are going out tomorrow!! Congrats to all the winners of my giveaways.

Oh!! Surprise #bookmail from my #litsypenpal @sprainedbrain! Is it a save-for-Christmas box or an open-it-now kind?? Thank you so much!! So excited! 😍😍

Got the last of my #bookmarkswap packages today! (Well, technically, yesterday, but it went to my neighbors mailbox on accident.) I‘m excited to open this up - even more incentive now to finish mine and get them in the mail!
@LibrarianRyan @Clwojick #sorryimaslacker

@Louise I just put something in the mail to you so be on the lookout #LitsyPenPal! Should reach you by next Monday! 😘 Forgot the picture...😜 so I improvised. 😉

Thanks @Mommamanzi ! I appreciate your gift, I just got it today. I haven‘t opened it yet, because I feel like I need to wait until I at least have my tree up. And I will get going on my gift to you. I‘m so excited, since this is my first week off from school, I get to work on your gift! 😁🙌🏽💕 #bookmarkswap

Received my #booktoteswap from @Caffienequeen !!! Can't wait to open! 💕💕💕

My partner has a most wanted list for christmas, but I'll play along. These are from my secret santa list on goodreads I made!
1. Norse Mythology - Neil Gaiman
2. Shamans Crossing (Soldiers Son #1)- Robin Hobb
3. Children of Earth and Sky - Guy Gavriel Kay
4. Jane, Unlimited - Kristin Cashore
5. The Rules of Magic - Alice Hoffman

These are just the ones that stood out when I looked through, however I like surprises!

Another happy #Bookishmail came today from @prettybooknerd Look how fun these homemade bookmarks are! Yay! Thank you. ☺️☺️☺️

Yay! What a wonderful surprise! I checked the mail today to see that I received some mail from some of my fellow Littens! Thanks so much to @Phancatherine for sending me this awesome colouring book and these beautiful bookmarks. ☺️ You made my day. 💕 #BookishMail #lovelygifts

@Bambolina_81 a little surprise is on its way to you. 😉

Mhm... I got a bookish package... But there is no address on it... When can I open it? 🤔 Any idea @scripturient ?

I've got no idea at all who has sent this but thank you in advance! Great stickers :-)

One more reason my birthday is a good day— this #Halloweengoespostal package arrived today! Thank you!! But of course I‘ll wait until October 31st 🎃. I‘m not sure of your #Litsy handle, so hope you see this and know I got it 😊. Looking forward to Halloween!

@ChasingOm I received my #readersgonnaread. Thank you so much for the tea, I adore tea and haven't had this one! What a wonderful surprise!

 @ItsAngel this book looks terrific I can't wait to read it!

What awesome, fun goodies @melrailey chose for my #letsgetcozy surprise! She even out little ones with each book explaining why she picked them. The Poe mug is so cute, and the Shakespear insult him is hilarious! My son immediately snatched the Moon Pie, so I saw it briefly. 😂 The bookmarks will be added to my collection. I loved each and every item. Thank you so much, and thank you @cobwebmoth for organizing such a fun exchange!

What a delightful surprise greeted me in the mailbox today! Many thanks, @robinb , for kicking off our #Litsypenpals friendship with such a cheerful package. Thanks for the bookmark too! Love the sweet owl! I'll be getting my colored pencils out too! 💕

Thank you so much @Jess7 !!! Everything is so awesome - great selection of books, fun coloring books, HP book clips, so many hippo items, and much more! I loved that you tagged all the hippo images in the coloring book (will make it easier for me when I go to color). I'm going to be having some fun!!

Items are starting to come in for the #bibliophilebookexchange

When you get a surprise box of goodies and can't even include everything in the photo because you instantly devoured everything edible 😄 Thank you @Carleneishere !!!

It's here it's here! A little bit busted but i got my #summersolsticebookexchange #summersantagoespostal

These are being packed and sent out today! With a few other bookish gifts 😏 #beachinbookswap

It's here! 🎉🎉I can't tell who it's from so thank you whoever sent it. I will be waiting patiently for June 21st! #summersantagoespostal

Just came back from vacation to find this ;) can't wait to open it!!! #summersantagoespostal

Since @Jinjer gave me to green light and told me they were wrapped, I opened the shipping box for my ##SummerSantaGoesPostal. This is going to make it much harder to wait until the 21st! Back in the box they go...but I LOVE the paper!

Ok so I know I'm running late, but I got a tad carried away and needed to put in some finishing touches before mailing it off in the morning. Also, it's not going too terribly far so it'll get there in time!

Here's hoping this litten likes what I've picked 😄
