Welcome to Litsy!

This was a fun filter. I made this page in my book journal for all the books my sister and I buddy read this year. I just put it through Pic Collage‘s Magic Effects - Festive, and it turned my page into watercolor Christmas books instead!

My father-in-law is staying with us this weekend so I didn‘t get a lot of reading done. Instead I worked on my book journal while we watched Xmas movies.

These pages are dedicated to what my book club read this year. We missed June and December so luckily it was easy to crop those months out of this photo.

🙌 My library hosted a fun reading challenge in 2023! I didn‘t get a blackout but I filled 2 complete rows.
✅ I used one copy for tracking prompts completed, and another for photos of the books I read for the prompts. I loved using my book stamps and washi tape for this challenge.

I‘m almost done settling up my book journal for the year. This page is dedicated to #SeriesLove2024.
I‘ve finished 2 books so far this year that completed 2 series.

I stamped an orange book for the last book in the series. When I finish a series I color in the rest of the line with a brush marker.

Thank you @Andrew65 and @TheSpineView for hosting again this year.
Thank you @Catsandbooks for keeping #litsycrafters going.

I had just plowed through “The Hobbit,” but I had no money for a book, so I had to start negotiating. My mother and I agreed that I would read a book of her choosing and then I would get my mass market paperback with an alarmed Elijah Wood on the cover. I just had to read… “Pride and Prejudice.”

I was reminiscing after playing catch-up for #lotrchapteraday #bookjournal

Hearing Saruman tell me about the Second Age antics of men is the best way to enjoy this story. If you have audible, Christopher Lee narrated the audiobook available. Tolkien created an epic tragedy for his world that sits nicely beside the epic romance (looking at you Beren and Lúthien). #tolkien #audiobook #bookjournal

Book 1 Chapter 2 “The Shadow of the Past”
#LotRChapteraDay #bookjournal

I have been listening to some Tolkien-focused podcasts and is it just me or is the worst fate for anything in Middle-earth to “fade.” Elves that don‘t return to Valinor: fade. Bilbo and Gollum spending too much quality time with the ring: fade.

I am going to try to play catch-up with #LotRChapteraDay because seeing all the posts have pulled me back in to Middle Earth.

Book 1 Chapter 1 “A Long-Expected Party”

This may not be the Tolkien book for everyone. I struggled to get through a few chapters, but some of the less detailed stories in “The Silmarillion” get their time to shine. Plus there is more information on Galadriel and Gandalf if that is of interest to you. It also gives some behind the scenes pieces to “The Hobbit” that I really enjoyed. #bookjournal #tolkien

Slowly, but surely, filling this in…
