Happy World Book Day!!
What are you currently reading?!?!

I'm waiting to start Try Hard by Max Kerman (lead singer of my favourite band Arkells) after I get my signed copy at his debut book release signing this weekend!

So heartwrenching. Best I've read in a long time. My heart breaks for those who can relate to the struggles faced.

When I first came out as lesbian a few years ago I had full support from my family. I also thought for the most part society has come a long way and being gay is a lot more acceptable now. I still see a lot of hate towards the LGBT community even though I've never experienced it. It's sad to think this type of hate still exists.

Finally out of this horrible reading slump!
Had to find a book that I couldn't put down

I'm LOVING The Meadows!!
Queer Handmaids Tale vibes!

Took this picture this morning while doing laundry. Not going to finish it today like I wanted but definitely making progress! Quickest I've read a book in years.

Celebrating 1500 days Alcohol Free today with my favourite day time tea and my current read!

Life is good! Happy Sunday Littens 💜🫶

Putting a pause on ACOTAR series (I just can't bring myself to start the 3rd book even though everyone says it's the best...). Hoping this one will get me out of my reading slump. Beautiful cover and it sounds very intriguing! Maybe my library 3 week deadline will force me to actually finish it 😅

An easy read and very enjoyable. A few moments of spice and erotica but not overwhelming. It got me out of my reading slump and thinking about what I want from my mundane life. I love the beautiful cover art. There were a lot of places and details that reminded me of my hometown so that made it a very fun read. I would definitely recommend this book! Great first read of 2025!

Book 1/25 for my 2025 goal! ✅️

Still not feeling well
This sickness is kicking my butt 😭😞
A day in bed reading should help right?! 🤞

Haven't been feeling well lately and I heard today is national cuddle day! Perfect night to cuddle up with my cat, cozy blanket, tea and a good book!

Quick, easy read to get me back out of this reading slump than continuing with A Court of Wings & Ruin!

Good morning! Happy Sunday! I'm starting a new book that my girlfriends sister-in law wrote and really enjoying it so far. Very easy read and it makes you want to keep reading!

My gf and I put up our Christmas tree on the weekend while watching Dear Santa! Such a good, funny new Christmas movie! Highly recommend.

I'm also starting The Simpsons from Season 1. The first episode is a Christmas one!

+15 for #XMasChaCha #WinterGames2024 #ChristmasChapterChasers #WinterGames

I've been wanting to join in on a #readathon lately! So happy I found this one! #36by36

My goals are to read both 36 chapters and for 36 hours! Reading A Court Of Wings and Ruin.

What an awesome readathon. Happy birthday @MatchlessMarie Thank you for this!! 🥰

So excited for this year's #WinterGames2024 !
It seems like I'm only on Litsy around Halloween and Christmas for these events LOL. 🥹🤭

Thank you @StayCurious and @LiseWorks for hosting! All signed up! Now to make my TBR!

Finally starting the 3rd book!! 🥺🩷

Really enjoying the series so far. I don't see allll of the hype around it but it is a good read. Can't wait to see where the story takes us now!

Love reading outside, especially around a bonfire while camping! 🏕 Great long weekend up north with family. 🌲

Love my new book cover!

My goal for #MarvelousMarch is to finish my current read & start #ACOWAR! About 550 pages to go! 🩵

#Readathon #SarahMaas #ACOMAF @Andrew65

Does anyone else read with a music soundtrack in the background?! Perfect vibes when it matches the theme/plot!

Loving ACOTAR so far!! Suffering from a bad concussion so I'm only able to read for a few minutes at a time if I'm lucky. Not good when all I want to do is read this amazing book! 😭😞

A little late posting my Week 1 Games

It's been a minute Litsy... 😭
Life has been crazy and I've been in a horrible reading slump for the past few months.

Excited to get back into some good books!

Looking forward to #Scarathlon

Picked these up today during my coffee run!

I've been eyeing both for a while, especially the tagged!! Had to stop and pick them up to read during the holidays.

Trying to finish Fairy Tale so I can start these!!

About half way done. Loving it!!!
Been so busy with work. It's been nice to relax.

3.5 hours read so far for #WinterReadathon

My new tattoo!
Lately I have been reminded to slow down

We are always in a hurry and planning our next adventure. We often don't stop to cherish the present because we are focused on the future.

Take a step back, breathe and beautiful things will happen. Trust in the process and timing.

If you really treasure something and value the outcome, you don't rush through it. You go slow and steady and marvel at the journey.

Had to buy a case of Coca Cola ❤ #IYKYK

Happy early birthday @MatchlessMarie ! 🎂

So excited to join you for your birthday #readathon My goals for #ReadMore34 :

📖 Read for 34 hours
📖 Finish Fairy Tale
📖 Finish HP & The Goblet of Fire Illustrated
📖 Finish House In The Cerulean Sea
📖 Start a new book

Weird idea that we gain an hour tonight⏳️🕐

Really don't care for it and wouldn't mind if they actually got rid of Daylight Savings like they keep saying!

But I'll take my extra hour and spend it reading!

Do you prefer to read books with the cover on or off? Especially for larger books I find I like to take the book cover off.

Here is my tattoo for my grandma.

Everything in this piece represents something special. The flowers surrounding are her & my moms birth month flowers - Violet, Primrose, Iris.

The handwriting is from a recent birthday card.

And the feather and marsh flower is from my favourite book that she read and likes too...Where The Crawdads Sing.

My grandma is one of the most important and influential people in my life.

We found out some news that has been weighing heavy on my heart the past few days.

We share a love for books so I wanted to share with my Litsy community what I'm doing for her.

Tonight I'm getting a bookish tattoo that has a lot of meaning in it. It will incorporate my favourite book that we read together, Crawdads 💜 🪶

I will share the final result tonight.

Day 1 of #AwesomeApril complete! ✔️

Read 69 pages in total today. Not as many as I had hoped but still better than nothing!

Finished one of my mini flower diamond painting kits while listening to some audio of Cerulean Sea. Love the characters!

Well after 2 years I finally got the vid 🤪🙃🤧

Taking these days off to catch up on some reading and hopefully get out of this slump!

Maybe now I can finish the book I've been reading for the past year 🤣

My favourite little reading buddy ❤️ 📖
My sweet boy always gives the best cuddles!
