If you like high fantasy with complicated magic world, well, this is NOT for you. This is a YA simple world and simple story where Kat will discover her enchantment at age 16. She is the one to save her kind. To be honest, this is an ok to so-so or pan story, but I enjoyed it and I already ordered the other 2 books in this trilogy😳Thank you to @hermyknee for choosing it from by tbr. Mug is from @Captivatedbybooks from previous swap 3.3⭐️

hermyknee Oh I‘m so glad you enjoyed it. I couldn‘t pass up the chance to send you a book titled Summer Solstice for our #summersolsticebookexchange (aka #summersantagoespostal )! 🥰 5y
rather_be_reading tht mug 😍😍 5y
Gissy @hermyknee Yes, thank you again! I'm waiting for the other 2 books to complete the trilogy🤗❤️❤️❤️ 5y
GypsyKat That mug is awesome! I love seeing #MugsOfLitsy 😍 5y
Gissy @rather_be_reading @GypsyKat Thank you! I received that mug in one Litsy swap last year. I love it! So perfect for Halloween 5y

I am about to begin stalking for the #summersolsticebookexchange #summersantagoespostal and discovered this book. Seems like a perfect one to add to #mounttbr. Hooray for @BookishMarginalia !

BookishMarginalia 💜💜💜 6y
Gissy There are two more books in the series. I noticed that my match tbr is not accurate😱there are some books that the person already read😳Noooo! 6y
Chrissyreadit @Gissy agh!!! Yes- that‘s frustrating! I know I want to trim down my TBR because it is so long - but then it keeps starting me at the top again- and I‘m trying to make sure I‘ve taken all my books off that I received too- sigh. 6y

mrsmarch @Pinkmeghan @haileyhugsbooks In a strange twist of fate, *I* am happy dancing too because I KNOW WHAT IS IN THE BOX!! Bahaha! 7y
haileybean @mrsmarch @Pinkmeghan too funny! I saw the address and thought it was funny that I sent mine to that state. It's awesome you two are friends! Now I'm even more excited for my box. The temptation is real! I may have to hide it or put it some place cumbersome to get to 7y
mrsmarch @haileyhugsbooks @Pinkmeghan We met in biological anthropology class in 2005 and now we work together! When I got the box from you I freaked out because what were the odds?? 7y
Pinkmeghan @haileyhugsbooks @mrsmarch too funny that you got my bestie in the exchange!!! 7y
haileybean I had to text my friend @AprilMaesBookHabit to see if she had you, @Pinkmeghan just to see if was a complete circle. Unfortunately not. 😂 7y
Pinkmeghan @haileyhugsbooks just wait the circle may actually still be a circle, just larger than we think! @mrsmarch has a theory! 7y
haileybean Oooooh, I want to hear this theory. @Pinkmeghan 7y
Pinkmeghan Ha @haileyhugsbooks I very rarely say it but the theory has been disproven! The person that @mrsmarch got did not get @AprilMaesBookHabit 😂 7y

I am so glad my Book Outlet box arrived with selections for my #summersantagoespostal match. I accidentally choose Oklahoma instead of Ohio and didn't realize it until it was shipped! Luckily the correct zip code directed it to my door!

Waiting on one more thing from Etsy and then this is ready to send out to my Litten in the #summersantagoespostal if it doesn't come within the next couple days I may send this out so I know the bulk will reach them and send that separately.

I went back and forth about whether or not to sign up. Not because it isn't amazing (it is) but because I had to decide if it was appropriate for me to commit to this when we're down to one income (by choice - new STAHM) but the Valentine's Exchange made my heart so happy I decided I needed to do it for me! ❤❤❤ I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for fun bookish items while I'm in Gettysburg for our upcoming mini vaca! #SummerSantaGoesPostal

LeahBergen Ooo! I hope you get ME then!! I love Civil War history and need a Gettysburg bookmark. 😂😂😂 8y
Cinfhen @LeahBergen 🤣🤣🤣 8y
LeahBergen @Cinfhen I think I'm going to start leaving hints like this all over Litsy in the lead-up to this Secret Santa. 😂 😂Actually, I probably should as I kind of pity whoever gets me and has to scroll through all of my posts, looking for clues. 😬 8y
