Welcome to Litsy!

Came to San Antonio by myself for the Book Festival (today!)! #SABF 👏🏼♥️🍷📖 And getting some pre-festival reading in… of course. ☺️

Also finished the tagged (audio - 2 readers) on the plane. Loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And finished Wild Dark Shore for #RealLifeBookGroup (also audio - 3/4 readers). Brutal & brilliant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ too!

Reading Desert Places next on audio!

This week I wanted escape… but couldn‘t. So I caved & opened your gift @AmyG - thank you so much!! I can‘t wait to read this book, the cozy additions are perfect, I love that frame for me & buggy… and I already drank the mocha cocoa .. w/ some marshmallow liqueur 🫢🤤😴 Thank you for this spot of joy!! ♥️♥️

We also had our #reallifebookgroup book exchange & I scored this Picoult! 👏🏼👏🏼

Also spotted: this $400 deco in the wild 😳 (yes, TJX 😜)

Finished tagged #RealLifeBookGroup⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lovely & lyrical & I liked the intertwining stories. But while I understood why some things weren‘t wrapped up, I still missed a cpl ribbons. 🎀

Listening to Villain, 9th of my #tenbeforetheend #10beforetheend

And Pic of sisters & @Malachi & I last wknd 🥰

Also, mailed #coffeebeanbookclub #cbbc for Dec - @Mommamanzi it d/n have the next book bc I don‘t have it yet, but 👇🏼 (see comments for rest)

A soft pick (tagged) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lyrical, pretty to ponder, & great potential for the story b/t Angel & Demon. Ultimately fell a little flat for me.

Soft pick for Gold Hills. Again, such pretty writing, & fascinating story & characters! I don‘t know if it tried to do too much in too few pages, but it wasn‘t as strong as it could have been. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pram - a quick audio creature feature ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Next: audio Apprentice & paper Cemetery #reallifebookgroup

My progress on #10beforetheend #tenbeforetheend

Here‘s my #TenBeforetheEnd #10beforetheend

Includes: #RealLifeBookGroup picks, #SeasonalCozies picks, #CoffeeBeanBookClub #cbbc picks, and even my current #audiobook #earreading (tagged). I … think I can… 🚂🚂🚂

#HyggeHour #HyggeHourReadathon

Bugga‘s costume this year (a *spider* monkey 😉), this stupid good Apple soda, my #RealLifeBookGroup book for … October (🫣), my #CoffeeBeanBookClub #cbbc for Oct/Nov, and my beautiful book sleeve from #fffs @PatriciaU 🥰😍

A perfectly October Hygge Hour! 🤗♥️

Progress! 🤓

Finished Bulletproof ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I think they‘ve found their old spark again, or maybe it was the heavy nod to Only Murders 🤔☺️

Murderous Christmas ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 A cozy cozy! I‘ll definitely go back to read the 1st!

Listening to Mad Love on audio - a relatively quick murder mystery w a full cast. Def recommend so far!

Bubba & I are listening to the Zoo on road trips 🤩♥️

The tagged is for #reallifebookgroup… interesting so far! 🫢

For my #hyggehourreadathon #hyggehour today, a bubble bath, my fave soda, coffee scented candle (amaze), and The Book of Doors (#reallifebookgroup).

It took me a while to get into it, and I still phase out sometimes, but overall a good read. 📖🚪✨

Also spotlighting Barnes‘s new $5 cafe special — which of course I bought. 🤭😎

Happy Sunday and Hygge Reading Hour all!
♥️🍁💚🍃🧡🎃💛🍰♥️🍎💚☕️🧡👻💛🍂

Finished the tagged cozy for August‘s #SeasonalCozies and really enjoyed it! It has a pinch of magic (or more) and a dash of international intrigue, along with family secrets and, yes, of course, tea and cozy vibes. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

So I went out and got book 2 right away. 😁

Also, I started Book of Doors for #reallifebookgroup - so far, so good!😊

And while I‘m not displaying my hygge here, it‘s there. #hyggehourreadathon 🫖🍦📖
