Welcome to Litsy!

12-31-24: My Year in books for 2024. Supremely disappointed in only having read 53 books. I usually read over 100 but working a full time job has left me so tired after work that I tend to fall asleep when I read. My family still thinks it‘s insane that I even read this much, they‘re cute. Anyway, Happy New Year to all!! May 2025 be a great year of reading! 💖📖💚🎉

Watching fireworks from around the world while having hors d'oeuvre for dinner throughout the night. Such fun! 🎆🎆🍤🧀🥖 🌮🫒🥨🍉🍇🥐🥗🍰🍫
Happy New Year everyone! Here‘s to a good one! 🥂🍾

Best year ever, in terms of numbers. Now that I made it over 100 I‘m going to try to slow down next year and not shy away from the chunksters and the slower paced books. Overall it was a great reading year! #yearendwrapup #2024inbooks

Happy new year from Sydney! My new year resolution is to get back to my reading best🤞🤞🤞and hopefully get my garden back up & running! What‘s yours? #HappyNewYear

Love the card @JaneyWaneyB such a lovely way to keep the holiday cheer alive a little bit longer. Thanks so much ♥️♥️

Reposting for #RoaringWolfChallenge hosted by @Roary47 and @Littlewolf1 #BookChallenge Go to the original post for more details.

It has just turned 2022 here in the UK. Happy New Year everyone. May this year be better than the last and may all your reading challenges be completed! Looking forward to seeing what 2022 brings for all my Litsy friends ❤️ 📚 🌅

Please be nicer than 2020 and 2021. I‘m begging you.

While I am looking forward to 2022, but I‘m also keeping my expectations realistic! Haha!!! But my #BestOf2021Swap package is in the mail, so one thing accomplished at least! Yay!!

I‘m excited to start reading from the #NewYearWhoDis list from my match @Cinfhen (though I‘m not in a hurry for January bc I need my holiday break!). The ones on the top are my priority, especially the first two bc I own them already. The rest on the collage I‘ll read once they are available at my library, and I‘m sure I‘ll read others from this list in 2022.

I‘ve read Z already and liked it a lot. Thanks for this match @monalyisha

Happy New Year @BookNAround and thank you for organizing the giveaway!

Happy New Year, Littens! May all of our books be good ones, may our immune systems stay strong and healthy, and may we be able to find the good in even the worst of things. ❤️

Happy New Year to all my Litsy friends!😁🎉

I‘m sitting in front of my Christmas bookshelves with a cup of tea trying to decide on my first read of the new year. Oh the possibilities!

Happy 2021 Litsy fam! I hope this year is truly the best after 2020 😅

Let this be the year that you get what you are aiming for in life and the good things that you deserve 🥀

Thank you for being such a beautiful online family.♥️

Hello, 2021! We are SO ready for you!

Waiting for the first sunrise of the year by planning and watching #Sanditon — here‘s to a far better 2021!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, LITTENS!! 🥳💕🥂📚
Stay safe and healthy, may this 2021 be a year full of serenity and love, and lots of good books!

Happy New Year. Here's to 2021 being better than 2020.

Happy New Year, #LitsyFamily!!! 🥳🎆🥳🎆🥳

I was still in recovery mode this past year from the previous year. Sorry about my absences.

This year I plan to be on as often as I used to be...which is A LOT 😊.

Thank you for being so incredible and marvelous! A new year means a new chapter in our reading journeys, and I‘m overjoyed to share mine with yours!

2021 has the potential to be the best year yet!

So glad 2020 is officially over.

Happy New Year everyone!!!

🎉🎉🎉Happy New Year, Litsy family! 🎉🎉🎉 This is one of my favorite Neil Gaimam quotes! I hope we all have a wonderful year ahead of us, filled with joy, blessings, and lots of GREAT BOOKS!💕📚

Hope the year brings what you need.

Never been happier for a year‘s end. Happy New Year!!! 🎊 #Welcome2021🙌 #ByeBye2020👋

Happy new year, my beautiful Littens!

My 2021 words of wisdom. Wishing everyone a better year than 2020! Happy new year!🎊

Completed this puzzle while listening to an audiobook. In my humble opinion, the perfect New Years Eve!

Look at this puzzle, though! I got it as a birthday gift and am blown away by the awesomeness and uniqueness.

Do you see the shapes of the pieces??

I like the back view just as much as the front.

Unidragon Wooden Puzzles 🙂

Happy New Year everyone! We‘re T-1:45 here on the east coast. Idk what 2021 will bring; but I will happily kick 2020 to the curb. I‘m also super excited (because I‘m a nerd) that I finished both my audio and in print book today so I‘m starting off 2021 with a blank reading slate. That almost never happens!

Hope everyone is having a safe and fun NYE!🎆

Happy New Year Litsy! From just after midnight in the UK.
May your 2021 be filled with good times, good company and good books!

It‘s almost time! Is everyone thinking about their new goals and hoping for a better year, as I am?

Happy New Year to all of my Litsy friends, whether you‘re part of the #PemberLittens, just plain tired of me posting about Austen, or both. 😉

While we can‘t forget the past lest we repeat mistakes, I think we can all take Elizabeth Bennet‘s advice at least for a day or so and concentrate only on the happy parts of the dumpster fire that was 2020.

Thank you all for keeping me reading and keeping me sane. ❤️

1️⃣ A. Adjusting teaching plans to accommodate COVID regulations. B. Older daughter moving 1000 miles away to college - party of 4 became party of 3.
2️⃣ Old dogs CAN learn new tricks.
3️⃣ Met my goal exactly. ☺
4️⃣ Dune. I'm excited about the movie, but want to read the book first.

Happy 2021! 🎉

Happy New Year Littens. 2021 can only be better than 2020.
This is the view this morning from our dining room in our new home in Florida.

I feel like this bar got stuck a few times. #HolidayLaughs

First #BookSpin for the new year. Looking forward to it - as always! Several of these are #NewYearWhoDis picks from @Amandajoy

#BookSpinBingo

I am pumped to be joining in on the fun for #NewYearWhoDis and have phenomenal selections, thanks to (fellow New Jerseyan) @dariazeoli 🤗

I‘m going to kick 2021 off with either Angie Thomas‘ or Ijeoma Oluo‘s works as I have them on my shelves, but I‘m sure I‘ll enjoy the others throughout the year! In fact, I just gifted Mariah to my sister, so maybe I‘ll have to borrow it for a minute! 📚📚📚

I love this swap - starting January reading books that someone else thinks were one of the best things they read in 2020 is going to reveal some gems I‘m sure.
I‘ve just signed up - head over to @candority and join in the fun! #bestof2020swap

Thank you soooo much @LeslieO , I love and appreciate my gifts! They‘re all books that I read soon. I don‘t own any of them yet, but have been on my TBR for a while. I will also be enjoying the coloring book, colored pencils, socks, and bookmark. #ReadInTheNewYear

😲 everything is wrapped so nicely. I‘m being spoiled by @LeslieO !!! #ReadInTheNewYear

Look how beautifully wrapped and coordinated this #readinthenewyearswap package from @guinsgirlreads is?! 😍🎉✨👏🏻❤️

Leanna, I‘m sorry I didn‘t have time to wrap your gifts just as beautifully!

@MeganAnn it has arrived! Can‘t wait until tomorrow!! #readinthenewyearswap

Check in for sending - January 10 is almost here! Will tag people in comments if we have not heard from you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020!!! I hope everyone is having a lovely week reading the first book of the year!

I'm kicking off the year by reading my #buddyreads books. I think I overcommitted this month! 😜

These are my #ReadingResolutions for 2020. I have a better shot at keeping these than my non-reading related ones! #AuldLangReads

I don‘t get to watch tv much..so I binge watched #TheMorningShow (all night).
Two books...don‘t know which ones?
