Welcome to Litsy!

Last read of 2021, kinda. Ended up bailing at 55% because this Santa is a real douche. I liked the premise of a snarky Santa replying to letters from kids. This one started off funny but as you go you realize this Santa is downright cruel and needs to chill out. But this DNF got me a bingo at least so there‘s that. 😅 #BookSpinBingo #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers #WrapItUpReadathon #20in4 219 words for #WGWordSearch 257 words for #TreasureHunt

Way to muck it up Amanda 😝 #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers

It was a very bookish Christmas indeed! 🎁
Hope you all enjoyed the holidays with family and friends !

So I bought a book sleeve for my Mom for Christmas after seeing so many on Litsy! Is it typical for it to be wider at the bottom? Is there a reason? Mom sews so I'm sure she'll ask.

Santa always writes back, in whichever language you wrote in.

#giftswapsurvey @teebe Thanks @Robothugs @JacintaMCarter for tagging
1. I like good writing on complex human relationship. It makes me ponder about life 😅
2. Donna Tartt and Yasushi Inoue. They eloquently wrote about human and life the way they saw it
3. Romance, horror, self-help
4. Sci-fi. I have started and I quite like it
5. Madame Bovary. A love mess created by one‘s lust, and then she cried, the husband cried, everybody cried. Just no!

@BookishMarginalia
@Katerina - thank you 😀😀
I'm in work at the moment so will open when I get home. Can't wait.

Thank you so much @OrangeMooseReads for my delightful gifts!!! I love the variety of titles and all the fun goodies!! I can't wait to color and munch while I read 👏👏 So much fun! And thank you to @BookishMarginalia for organizing!

It's still June 21st here so I have time yet to open my #summersantagoespostal box. I don't even know the Litsy handle of the person who sent it yet. Being phoneless for a week meant I never got around to taking a picture until tonight! I'm so sorry.

I got my #SummerSantaGoesPostal today! I don't know who my Secret Santa is but, the envelope was open when I received it! 😱 There's a sealed smaller envelope still inside that I'll open on 21st, but I hope nothing was lost (or stolen)!!!

@Jilljemmett your #summersantagoespostal package has officially landed!

These goodies are finally going out tomorrow! #summersantagoespostal @BookishMarginalia

I've been a negligent Litten lately (new job, LIFE STUFF) but I was downright delighted to receive this box in the mail!!! Thank you mystery Litten! I can't wait! 🎅🏽☀️❤️📚

@annkuch13 You're package should arrive today for #SummerSantaGoesPostal - I realized I forgot to identify myself on the box!😳 Happy Summer! ❤️ Peaknit

Coming home from work and finding this beauty at the other side of the door 😍😍
Is it June 21st yet?

Farwell little package!! I hope you make it safely to your new family! #summersantagoespostal #summersolsticebookexchange

I got my #summersantagoespostal match! I am so excited to shop for my Litten! @BookishMarginalia

These are the gifts I opened on Christmas from me to me 😍 except for the beautiful pendant. So I will open more subscription boxes on January 6 where we celebrate the Three Wise Men, Los Tres Reyes Magos! Another excuse to buy more books and bookish items! 👍

These are hysterical letters to Santa with smarmy funny responses to the requesters. We have a fun time reading these out loud. #christmassyreads #seasonsreadings2016 Love Sedaris' holidays on ice too but lots of you are already onto that one!
