#tlt @dabbe my score 33!
My least favorite was Anna Karenina, admittedly, this was a book I dnf'd. I counted it anyway because I made it through at least 30 pages. My favorite from this list is a tie between hunger games and twilight.
Some Hallmark Autumn themed goodness to tide you over till opening day!

I'm going to post random factoids about yule in the lead up to signups opening for #yuleseasonswap #yule #swaps #events
1. Yule is thought to be very ancient. Tracing back at least as far as the Vikings and possibly even farther back to proto Germanic peoples.
Just keeping track. I have yet to see sent mail posts from @CSeydel @maich and @pyjamaviking. be sure to tag me and the #autumncomfortswap 😃
Alright y'all, it seems there is enough interest so here are the particulars for #yuleseasonswap . Budget friendly. Open internationally. Base commitment is a card with small themed items. Sign up will run from October 1st-25th. @LitsyEvents #yule #swaps #solstice #litsyswaps #events
The tagged and the glass kitchen by Linda francis lee. Same reason for both. Simplicity. #sundayfunday @BookmarkTavern
Just started copying out the wrapped in Jamie CAL. Wow! Square one has 20 rounds to it. It looks so good though. Definitely getting the stitch compendium though so I can de-petranese the pattern. #craftersoflitsy #crafting

Taking the #litsy temperature. Who would be interested in a yule themed card swap this winter? And if you wouldn't mind stating what country you're from so I can get a vibe for international interest levels. #swaps #yule #solstice #litsyswaps
#LitsyEvents

1. Scholastic book fair.
2. Silent reading. Favorite part of the day.
3. Watching one act plays/airbands in high school put on by the drama club.
Tagging some people to keep the ball rolling. What are your favorite school memories, or things you love about teaching or parenting school age kids.

Reading a really good fanfic about LOTR cheacters. It's called The Unraveling of Hard Words by eternal-vambraces.
Update: Really good. Highly recommend.
Heading into autumn I watch as many autumn Hallmark movies as I can, including rewatches of signed, sealed, delivered. Of course I rewatch practical magic, halloweentown, and hocus pocus. If I really need to zen out I do yoga from videos with Melissa Krieger (I think I spelled it right) from bloom yoga Victoria via YouTube. I also watch crochet tutorials sometimes. And the late show has free segments on there. #serenesaturdays
Went to an estate sale yesterday. Bought a huge bag of lots of colors of embroidery thread. Photo to come after I deodorize it. #CraftersofLitsy #crafting

Just a reminder that parcels must be sent by August 20th and you have to post when you've sent them 😃🍁🍁 #autumncomfortswap
just finished getting my book recs together for my #autumncomfortswap match! some finishing touches then it will be off to the post office.
Slow reading month for me. I've been busy making gifts for #autumncomfortswap and melting during the heat waves. And now I can add hacking up a lung due to wildfire smoke in the area. #readingwrapup #julysreads
So far I have completed 4 prompts for #fourfoursin2025 . I'm also half finished with #ssrc #summersolsticereadingchallenge .
pickMichael J. Fox is inarguably in my top 5 favorite actors.
I found this book to be illuminating, sad, and, uplifting. Illuminating because he shares information about his life and career that was news to me. Sad because his disease is known to shorten lifespans, a fact he does not shy away from. Uplifting because he actively chooses life, which is evident in this book. Definitely worth the listen.
My tomatoes have BLOOMS!!!! I've also reduced my potted pumpkins down to one plant per pot. #gardening
gentle reminder. the #autumncomfortswap is budget friendly. Only yourself and i know what you agreed to send if you need to scale down, do it. As long as your swap partner(s) receive a card with some small items like favorite recipes, bookmarks, stickers, etc. you are covered.
@CSeydel thanks for the idea! #autumncomfortswap

Made a little macrame charm, can't share a photo don't want spoil swap surprises.

1 Twilight. I love how eclectic it is and how perfectly it goes with the cinematography and emotion of the films.
2 Pirates of the Caribbean. Hans Zimmer is a legend.
3. Moana. See reasons for Twilight. Just swap animation for cinematography.
My pumpkins have sprouted (two of four). And my tomatoes have settled in nicely. Now all I have to do is monitor my empty garden patch until I can get some high strength acetic acid to kill off the last of the thistle.
Edit: all four pumpkins have now sprouted!!!!

Tried to see the new Superman in theater. Holy hell when did they decide deafening people was okay? I feel so bad for their staff as the ads play near constantly. Needless to say, didn't stay. Oh well, I'll just watch it when it hits streaming. My ears are still ringing.
It looks like we possibly have a romance scammer trying to operate on litsy username is franciscopoppie. They are making identical comments trying to get people to email them. The account has Zero posts at all.

1. Potted up my tomatoes/ finally got some strong vinegar to try and tackle the thistle overgrowth in my back garden.
2. Rebel skies is turning out really good which likely means I will like my review copy that is a sequel.
3. Starting to make some progress in my grandma's apartment.
4. Saw a black cat with white face, and it's Friday the 13th (lucky)
5. I discovered a new crafting resource for vintage patterns.
