So I got the Barnes & Noble special edition for The Rose Bargain, because I liked the color change on the cover, but I had no idea that the end papers were so beautiful too! 😍🩷🌹
Despite the snow, I ended up going to Barnes & Noble over the weekend! 💕📚 TOTALLY WORTH IT! 🥰
YES! I can't believe I'm reading the final book in this trilogy! I'm so excited! So far I'm totally hooked! 💕📚
I feel like the last couple of weeks have been really rough. And why does 2025 feel like it has already lasted a decade?! 😵💫 So I'm very grateful to have off today and the weekend too! Of course, no long weekend is complete without a trip to the bookstore! Books always make everything better 🤭💕
My happy place! 🩷📖📚
I think this is Random Riggs first book since his Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children series! I was never a huge fan of that series, but this one is absolutely fantastic so far! Also, how did I never know before that he is married to another awesome YA author - Tahereh Mafi!? 😱 So very cool!
Pretty much obsessed with these covers! 💛💜💛💜 The second book (tagged) came out today, and I pre-ordered it to spite not having read the first one yet! 🤭 I have a hard time resisting pretty covers!
The absolute BEST day of the month is when the Book of the Month choices drop! 🥳🎉 This month was very interesting in that I definitely picked more from the add-ons section then from the regular monthly picks! This is what I chose for february! Not included in the picture is the tagged book, because it wouldn't fit on the screen! 😂🤭💕
What did everyone else choose for this upcoming month? #botm
More snow! 🩵❄️🩵
This was a recent impulse purchase that I couldn't resist because of the cover! 🤭
Who wore it better? 🤔🐉🖤🩶🤍
Did I stay up until 3:00am just to order the Target special edition of Onyx Storm even though I already had the deluxe edition? Yes. Yes, I did! 🤭💕
Okay, so the main difference for the outside is that the Target edition has a different image on the page edges, has gold letters for the title, and is overall more metallic looking!
ONYX STORM! 🖤🩶🤍🖤🩶🤍
I went to the midnight release on Monday night and it was SO MUCH FUN! They had games, trivia, coloring stations, and all kinds of other fun stuff! 🐉 They also gave us all goody bags that had stickers and a dragon pin! 📖
Bubble tea and Grady Hendrix! 📖💕🧋
HAPPY NATIONAL DRAGON DAY!!! 🐉 📖 🐉 📖
January 16th is the BEST day of January, in my opinion! 😋 What are some of your favorite dragon books?
I have two more videos featuring favorite books I read in 2024! One highlighting thrillers and the other highlighting romance! ❤ 📚

My happy place! 🥰📚📚📚
Had two doctor appointments today. Ugh. Nothing's wrong, they were just regular checkup things. Still, I felt entitled to some little treats afterwards - which included a trip to McDonald's and then the bookstore! 🤭💕📚
I'm almost finished with my re-read of Iron Flame before Onyx Storm comes out next week!
YASSSSSSS! Happy Pub Day to these two! They just arrived in the mail and I couldn't be more excited! The Grady Hendrix is one of my most anticipated reads of 2025! 💕📚
First thriller and first paczki of the year! 🥳🎉
I'm planning on posting videos all throughout January highlighting my favorite books from 2024! I am breaking them down into various categories like Romance, Fantasy, Thrillers, etc. This week the first videos are up! Let me know what YOUR fave books from 2024 were! ⭐ 📖 💙

YES! My Book of the Month Box arrived today, which helped with the post holidays depression! 🤭💕 I'm absolutely starting the Austin book first! I love her writing so much! #botm
I love this series so so much! I wish each book was longer, but them being so short allows me to reread the series once a year - usually in January because that's generally when the new book is published! Book 10 is being published next week! 💕📖
Starting the new year off right! Spent the day cozy in bed with some popcorn, a fantasy book, and Rumpel! 😻📖 #catsoflitsy #rumpel
Happy New Year, littens! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I'm wishing everyone a very bookish 2025! 📖
I'm not likely to complete any more books before midnight so I'm officially calling it: I read 375 books in 2024! It's higher than some years, and lower than other years - but overall I'm very happy with this number, and also happy with all the books I read this past year! 📚📖
THE JANUARY BOOK OF THE MONTH CHOICES ARE LIVE! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 It's go time!
I had a hard time narrowing it down this month, which is why I ended up with five picks all together! 🤭 I couldn't resist these two thrillers, and I didn't even know Emily Austin was coming out with a new book! I'm obsessed with her previous books, so I'm really looking forward to this new one! 🩷
pickOkay, I actually loved this one so much! I've read Pearson's YA books before, but this is her first adult fantasy and it did not disappoint! I genuinely adored the world building and characters! 💕📚
#catsoflitsy #rumpel
Doing the Lord's work today - set up a Romantasy mini display at the library! 🤭💕📚 I figure since Onyx Storm is coming out later this month it's a good time to captivate people's attention with more delightful fantasy/romance books! ❤️
A very Happy Christmas to my Litsy family! 🩷📚 I hope everyone is having a wonderful, peaceful, bookish sort of holiday!
Hubby spoiled me with lots of books to open this morning! 🤭📖 💚❤️🎄

This book is absolutely GORGEOUS! 😍🩵❄️🩵 I'm obsessed with the page edges! Despite how excited I am to start reading it, I think I'm going to wait until after the New Year starts! It seems like a perfect winter story!
Celebrated our wedding anniversary a couple days early this year, and went to my favorite hibachi restaurant for dinner tonight! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 The temperature dropped even further tonight, and it's actually only about 12° right now! Perfect weather to stay inside curled up cozily and reading! 💕📚
It snowed again this morning! So it seems like a great day to start this one! 🩵❄️🩵 This is the last holiday romance book I'm trying to squeeze in before Christmas next week!
Here are the next two books in my bookish holiday calendar! I'm not crazy about the dark color they went with for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I like navy blue, but this is just a little too dark I think! However I am absolutely obsessed with how beautiful Dracula is! The colors and the detail on it look fantastic! 😍💕📚
Day 17: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Day 18: Dracula
MY JOLABOKAFLOD PACKAGE ARRIVED TODAY! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 It's going to be soooooooo hard to wait until Christmas Eve to open it! 🤭💕📚
@MaleficentBookDragon @Scochrane26 #jolabokaflod #jolabokaflodswap
Starting this one tonight! ❤️💚❤️💚📚 I'm super excited about it!
Okay, when I opened book # 16 for today, I squealed with excitement! Mansfield Park is my absolute favorite Jane Austen book! And I love the color also! 🩵🩵🩵
❤️ Book 15: The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
💚 Book 16: Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
I'm behind on posting these, but here are books 12, 13, and 14 from my bookish holiday calendar! 🤭💕📚
❤️ Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne
💚 Vanity Fair by W.M. Thackeray
❤️ The Hound of the Baskervilles
We got a bit of snow today, so it seemed like the perfect time to start this chilly thriller! 🩵❄️🤍
Days 9, 10, and 11 of my bookish holiday calendar! 🥰❤️💚❤️🎄
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
Hans Christian Anderson's Fairy Tales
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
Yesterday my town held its annual holiday celebration! There was a Christmas market, a parade, and a tree lighting ceremony! 🎄🎅🏻⛄ I got to be a part of the parade and the library even decorated our book bike to look like a snow globe! It was so much fun! Of course I was reading my current Christmas book while waiting for the parade to start! 🤭💕📖
My latest book ornaments from my holiday calendar! 🥰📚
Day 6: Frankenstein
Day 7: The Iliad
Day 8: Les Miserables
IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE AND IT'S MASSIVE! 1329 pages and I'm beyond excited! 💕📚
This book marks the end of the current story arc, so I'm sure there will be many surprises and twists along the way! It's been 10 years since I started reading this series, and part of why it's so special to me is because I have read each book with my bestie, Dave! @DaveGreen7777
'Life Before Death
Journey Before Destination

My three day weekend starts today! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 Of course I had to kick off the excitement by making a trip to my happy place! 🤭📚🩷
Eeeeeeeeek! My Book of the Month Box arrived yesterday! 🥳🎉 I'm going to try to read both of the holiday books before christmas, but I still have a few other holiday books to finish so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it! Either way, I'm super excited about my picks! #botm
This is the next Christmas book I started reading the other day! I wasn't sure what to expect, because I have never read anything by this author before! But so far it is delightfully sweet and hilarious! ❤️💚❤️💚
pickOkay, I went in not expecting a whole lot from this one except some holiday cuteness, but I ended up absolutely LOVING it! It is definitely sweet, but also really fun and hilarious as well! There are so many silly Christmas puns! 🤭❤️💚❤️💚
