😭😭😭My husband & I were recently displaced from our home by a fire. No one was hurt & our things were fine, we did have to look for a new home. He knew how difficult an experience this has been, including having to seriously downsize my library. As a housewarming gift, he found something I I have been searching for- an Italian translation of my favorite book! Next Jan 1st, when I do my annual read it will be in Italian! 😭😭😭

Jas16 I am so sorry to hear about your home. 2d
HardcoverHearts @Jas16 Thank you so much. We are very fortunate to have been able to land on our feet. We will be fine and I‘m just so happy to be done with purging and packing. Now it‘s just unboxing and purging. 😅 2d
AmyG I am sorry tonear about the fire, but happy to read you are safe and in a new home. Wishing you all the best. 2d

HardcoverHearts @Ruthiella thank you! And while I talk about Leo a lot, and we are incredibly close, we live in completely different parts of the world and are fantastic reading companions but he is not my husband. 😉 19h
HardcoverHearts @Chrissyreadit I thought so, too! 19h
Ruthiella @HardcoverHearts Oops! I misread your post ! 😅 18h
HardcoverHearts @Ruthiella not a problem at all, but I wanted to make sure credit was given where it was due! 😊 Especially since @Leoslittlebooklife had to get it from Rome and then send it to me. 17h

February 10th #FeelinTheLove Love Letters 💌 @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Absolutely 💯 3w
BooksandCoffee4Me My husband and I were teachers at the same high school when we met and started dating. To avoid awkwardness, we didn‘t let our relationship be known, but he would put a handwritten note in my teacher‘s mailbox every morning 😊❤️ 3w
LiseWorks @BooksandCoffee4Me, oh, how sweet 3w

#FeelinTheLove Day 10: This one is Ludwig Van Beethoven‘s letter to his Immortal Beloved – who this is remains a mystery until now. This is a fascinating book that contains amorous and heartfelt #Loveletters of famous people: from Vita Sackville-West and Viriginia Woolf to Franz Kafka‘s letter to Felice Bauer. More here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7hF

Eggs Excellent choice 💕 3w

My first read every year is this slim epistolary collection between friends. I love viewing the progression of the friendship, and the ending gets me every time.

#SebastianKitty is kindly modeling the book for me. #CatsOfLitsy

3 ⭐Some kids and a dog play a game of “go and yet”. The narrator says go and get something with a letter. The kids bring back something obvious, and the dog always brings something back not as obvious. This book is repetitive but in a way that makes sense. It is cute and the illustrations are lovely. However, it‘s not special. It feels like something you have seen and read before. That‘s not a bad thing. It‘s just a usual thing.
