Thank you @TheSpineView for creating this fun play-card and for the tag 💕🐎📚💝.

1- went back and forth, considering if I should highlight daily or seasonal 🤔...🧑‍🎄I like making a no-eggnog, which is just sweetened and spiced non-dairy milk. I drink it while reading beside the Christmas tree while C'mas jingles play 🥛🎄🎶📚💝.

👇

AnnCrystal 2- in the tagged book, MC Riley Thorn goes with the flow in her own quirky and clever way when encountering crazy situations. Love, love this read 📚💝💝💝.

Mated for Christmas | Terry Spear
post image

There is one day remaining of #20in4 by @Andrew65 and I am happy that I have been able to stay on track with my personal goals for this readathon: I went with twenty pages into four of my current reads a day 📚🥳.

Did miss a day with the, Mated For Christmas book...which is peculiar because it is my favorite of the Christmas books. Caught up with this read today.

👇

AnnCrystal I'm still unsure about Mistleoe Matchmaker. It has taught me to be more careful when selecting future Christmas reads (I will be sure the storylines have more ingredients that interest me along with being Christmas themed).

Thanks @debinhawaii for creating this fun play-card and Thank You 💕🌺💝 & @TheSpineView 💕🐎💝 for the tags 😎👍💝.

1- My Christmas artwork featuring three of my fur/feather babies. It was such a joy working on this piece. 🎨🖌️🦜🐕🦜🪶🐾💝.

2- Began reading two books, The Spellshop and the second book in the Riley Thorn Mysteries...and loving both! 📚💝.

3- Radio and Tv have both begun playing/showing Christmas 🎶🎬💝

👇

AnnCrystal 4- Discovered the TV series, The Marlow Murder Club, and learned that the show is based on a book 📚💫🎬💝. Love that the main character and supporting characters are mainly women.

5- it is still Native American Heritage Month 🥳💝.

DogMomIrene I noticed the Home Alone movies featured prominently on the Disney+ Home Screen. Husband has never seen the original, so we may watch that one this week. 1mo
mcctrish I read The Marlow Murder club and I‘m so excited to see the show 1mo
AnnCrystal @TheSpineView ❣️🥳👍💝. 1mo
AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene 🎬👏😎👍💝...Haven't watched Home Alone in years! 🤩 Have fun! 1mo
AnnCrystal @mcctrish Are the books graphic? I don't mind jumping over a few scenes yet try to stay away from the really gory.

The TV show is truly engaging, it has the mysterious/funny/serious all balanced nicely. The 2024 Show, The Marlow Murder Club is from BBC. Four episodes in season 1. Was able to watch it thanks to PBS.

Cast
Samantha Bond as Judith Potts,
Jo Martin as Suzie Harris,
Cara Horgan as Becks Starling, and
Natalie Dew as DS Tanika Malik

mcctrish I‘m didn‘t find them graphic, I‘m trying to remember ( so many books since then) I knew as soon as I finished I wanted another and I trusted no one during my reading 1mo
AnnCrystal Thanks 📚😎👍 @mcctrish . Trusted no one 🤔🧐 Intriguing! Murder mysteries have the habit of suggesting that...it takes a really good story to make us take it serious. 😉👍📚💝. 1mo
Sace For the past couple of years I had started Christmas music in early November, however this year I haven‘t felt quite ready for it. 1mo
AnnCrystal @Sace 🎶🎄 that's when we begin, early November...yeah, a lot of people are down. I can feel it in my community. People are quiet. Worried? Fearful? Not sure 🙏💝. 1mo
Sace I my case it was temps still being in the 80s and humidity 🙄 1mo
AnnCrystal @Sace oh, the weather here is crazy too. Hot, cold, warm, cool, hot, cold...with each day...🤔🧐💝. (edited) 1mo

📚💫This had good vibes woven into the text, or there has been a spell of optimism cast upon this book, or something because this was absolutely positively delightful 📚💝.

Every time I came to read more of this wacky book, I was smiling extra and my mood was extra uplifted. I loved how the psychic ways were written, and loved every character, and loved the wackiness 💝💝💝.

I had paused reading this during the October Readathons here on Litsy, and I'm glad... because I really, really needed this book right now.

Glad to have the next three books already waiting on my shelf! Lucky that Walmart stocked each one and that I was able to purchase them before they sold out! How wonderfully lucky 📚🥳💝.

OK, this means that I am all caught up with my reading...my Nov. books, here I come 📚😉📚💝.

AnnCrystal About Candy 🍫.

Been dropping a wedge of this chocolate bar into my coffee each morning, and have melted with sweet bliss with each cup 🍫☕💝.

Caved with some of the unhealthier chocolate choices this previous week and weekend...yet this is one of the better options and will probably continue buying this chocolate bar. It's wrapped in gold foil beneath the outer wrapper (Wonka👀style), and each bar wrap comes with a bit of printed poetry 🆒!

AnnCrystal Although...I do wish these chocolate bars were organic.

Thank you @debinhawaii for creating this fun play-card and for the tag 💕🌺💝.

1- took awhile for me to process my feelings. When I read through posts here on Litsy, I became extra greatful for this community. Knowing I was not alone in my anxiety helped. Thank you Littens for making Litsy such a lovely place 🙏🫂🦅💝.

2- my remedy basket (view my previous post) 🪄🍫😋🫖💫.

👇

AnnCrystal 3- The Riley Thorn Mysteries...there is something about this book that makes me smile while reading it, just my kind of wacky I guess 📚💝.

4- New, Upcycled bookmarks 🪄🔖💝 (will post about next).

5- my family begins decorating for Christmas Nov. 3rd ✨🌲🎅🤶🎄🦌💫💝...it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎶🌌💝.

Thank you @debinhawaii for creating this fun play-card.

1- Got to see the movie, BumbleBee. Can't believe I watched a Transformer movie (my brother was a fan...I never was). When I saw the Volkswagen bug, I couldn't help be reminded of my love for Herbie, The Love Bug...must admit, that I now love Bumblebee too!

2- Found part four of a book series that I'm loving (still reading through the first book). Riley Thorn Mysteries. 👇

AnnCrystal 3- On Tuesday, went grocery shopping. On Thursday, there was a news story about a shooting that was happening across the street from where we were 🙏. Two days after we were there. A joy because no one was killed and no one I know was there. Just scary out there. Be careful in this chaotic world everyone.

4- Finished the book I bought for my first year a Litten! Tagged (review to be posted soon).

5- Made Yummy blueberry cookies.

Book Number Four in the Riley Thorn series!

Didn't expect to find a copy! usually the big box stores don't follow with series releases (or I miss the release date and they sell out!)

Still reading my way through the first book in this series, yet I'm already a fan.

Happy Dance 💃🥳📚.

I am loving this read 📚💝!

Lucky to find the first three books in this series. Since I haven't made the time to get myself to an actual bookstore (in years), I usually have to settle with only reading book “one“, or staying away from any “series“ altogether.

Took my chances because this was about a psychic. 👇

AnnCrystal The two main characters are in their 30s, which is my age bracket. Somehow, makes this even more interesting for me.

Only on chapter 20 of 60+ (which divides 460 pages). Yet, surprisingly, seems a magically fast read.

A funny, whimsical, cozy mystery that I'm absolutely loving.
