I have been absent from Litsy in the past few days, sadly, with good reason. My friends lost one of their children late Monday night, making this the worst Valentines Day of my life. I wish I could hide in my books but there are people in the real world that need me right now. A child has died. Life continues as normal but somehow my whole world has been altered. As if that little life contained within it my entire universe. Please pray for me ❤

Don't people know it's a sin to talk in bookstores?! Take your peppy conversation to the gym or the smoothie bar 😬😤😑 Grrrrrrr

Killing time before choir practice tonight. One of the things I hate about living in a city is if you live on one side and work/church are on the other side, then it doesn't make sense to drive home between work and church functions 😒😪 at least there is a Barnes and Noble. I've read Patrick Rothfuss' books a few times now (LOVE THEM), my roomates are obsessed with the show Poldark. The book has got to be even better right? 📚📚📚 #StacksForDays

I am 10 pages in and already know this is the best 75 cents I have ever spend. I can't stop laughing!

Ugh seriously

I might be slightly addicted to fairytales...

So earlier there was this party after church I couldn't get out of going to. Since sitting in the corner reading was out of the question, I played piano instead. I reccomend every introvert learn the piano. It keeps people from talking to you #WiseWordsOfWisdomFromATwentySomething

Restarting an old favorite on this chilly Sunday evening 💕

I love Brian Selznick's ability to tell a story with pictures.

I'm normally not a tea drinker but all the coffee is gone, so here I am #MyFridayNightIsLit #LitAsInLitsy

I am excited to see what her Alice in Wonderland retelling is like!!! #MarissaMeyer #LunarChronicles #Heartless

When you run out of room on the bookcase, even with double stacking them 😢😭 my poor babies, I am sorry I have to put you on the floor!!

I sincerely hope that Maia Chance keeps writing for a good long time. Murder mysteries involving the descendants of fairy tale folk? SIGN. ME. UP. Also, hello to an awesome heroine (named Ophelia, which is totally rad!). Please tell me someone else on here has read this books and is as crazy about them as I am!!!

you know the character's that stay with you through the years? Dan is one of those characters. I found this brand new at a thrift store for 99 cents!!! #BookLoverWin #LouisaMayAlcott

I always save my books for last when I move because I know it's gonna be a pain to move them all #BookLoverProblems #IOwnTooManyBooksOrSoTheySay #StillGonnaBuyMore

I love finding new authors!!! 😊😊😊 this baby + some good red wine are my buddies tonight. Also I never knew it was possible to love St. Luke so much.

Yo!! finished this book in about a day and a half. My first experience with James Patterson was not bad; I enjoyed the story and the way he told it. Not a super in depth book but it was an easy read, something I would grab to relax if I wanted to relax and not to have to think. I am not going to be buying any of his books but I won't run in the other direction if someone offers another one to me ☺☺☺

I make a point of giving each and every author a chance before dismissing them (I have never regretted this except where John Green is concerned). James Patterson is one of those authors I see everywhere but have never read. Someone gave me this book to try so here goes #AboutToReadTheFirstPage
