So... The apartment upstairs sprung a leak and it seeped through my ceiling (Books are safe!) Today has been a madhouse with my landlord, a plumber and a TV technician (unrelated to the leak 😆) coming in, as well as my parents, stressed dog, brother, niece and nephew.

I don‘t think I‘ll make it to the post office today for #WhatTheCanuck or #LitsyAroundtheWorld — I think the next time I can will be Wednesday or Thursday.

LiteraryinPA Ugh, what a hassle! Hope it gets sorted out soon! 7y

@umbrellagirl posted this lovely blurb about #jolabokaflod.

I think we Littens should start a grassroots campaign to promote this idea. Only instead of doing it around the holidays when most everyone is crazed, perhaps we can select another day. Groundhog Day (Feb 2) might be a good choice. It's still mostly cold and miserable in the northern hemisphere, and if the groundhog sees his shadow, it's off to bed with a book for everyone!

umbrellagirl Count me in! 7y
umbrellagirl The next Litsy book swap! I would be up for helping to organize if others are interested 💙 7y
Velvetfur Hmmm, this is similar to how my ex and I used to do Valentine's Day - we just bought each other a book and called it Book Day! I really like the idea of this 'reading and chocolate eating', though 😀 7y

Just to update everyone, we lost our house to the flooding Sunday. We received word that the National Guard was a mile away but unable to get our homes. We took refuge in our neighbor's second story home and at daybreak we inflated our air mattresses, loaded our cats and our few possessions onto them, and walked through chest high water to escape. We are going to be fine. We have flood insurance and savings. Pray for the ones who aren't so lucky.

Well it's been interesting here in Houston. After yesterday's tornado warning-filled day resulting in our bookstore having to shelter people as one passed nearby, we closed early. Then this morning, I woke up to this. We are stuck here and maybe my TBR will dwindle a bit. Please send good thoughts to this area. Many people lost everything today.

Spotted a first edition of Warren's at an antique store in Colorado. Didn't take it home, but I hope it finds a good one. I adore Warren.
