Welcome to Litsy!

Being that my box came late this month I‘m surprised it took all day to unbox it after getting it from my mail room earlier this afternoon….

Before I know it it‘s gonna be March and we‘re gonna be picking the next round!!

😆

But it‘s my birthday on Sunday so I‘m thinking it actually ended up arriving right on time!!

Let us hope life affords me enough time to not only buy & collect these books, but also read them sometime soon!!

💙📚🔖📦

Definitely my life goal! 📚🥰

Took myself to Leeds for the day mostly to visit this new little, women led independent bookshop. They do coffee too 😁 will definitely be popping in again when I‘m next in Leeds.

For those of you interested in knitting a #booksnake, the instagrammer who inspired mine has released a pattern for one!

Last year, for my birthday, I got my 4th round of chemo 😔. Needless to say, my birthday was a bust. This year, to make up for it, my husband took me on a bookstore tour in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area. We hit 5 bookstores, including this gem: Story Line Books, housed in St. Paul's Union Depot. With a subtle train theme, the charm of the historic train station, and a wonderfully curated selection, this was a great stop! #supportindiebookstores

My January book box has arrived + 2 scored from a BOTM sales/swap Facebook group!

💙📚😁

I guess that 19% are all here on Litsy 🥳🥳🥳

I wish Goodreads let you add private notes to your TBR. I add so many books that I know I'll only read if I'm in a specific mood or bc a specific person recommended it, and I'd love to note that somewhere!

This book is such a hidden gem!

It showcases 50 different “hidden” libraries from all around the world (plus outer space). Every library profile tells you how to find it (if applicable, some are no longer around and some are not open to the public). Also, all the photos have captions which I appreciated.

I've been organizing my storygraph challenges this weekend and decided to make one to track my reads for #QueerBC
If anyone else participating wants to join, here's the link:

I've got all the authors since we started last May and will try to keep it updated as we add more ☺️
