Ok ladies, good news. The book I thought was lost in the mail (Run, Hide, Repeat) was returned to me. So I've sent it back off to Sabina. I also have the last two books, so time to get cracking. #lmpbc @BeeMagical @ShelleyBooksie @BookishTrish

1- Yes I like snow. It is beautiful when it is fresh fallen. I don't like driving in it so much! 😁
2- Curling up with a good book or watching a movie.

I am late playing, so if anyone would like to play, consider yourself tagged!

The hubs asked for pancakes after same day surgery this morning. These lemon ricotta variety didn‘t disappoint! I‘m in-between books at the moment but had the trusty #kindle on the table.

Not close to what I normally read in a year. Just set my goal for 85, this year, since I only got 83 read in 2021📚❤️📚

I haven't figured out any books for the prompts yet, but I finished the #readingchallenge spread in my #bulletjournal so at least I'm organized!
Looking forward to trying the #NoShameReadathon22 since I read most of these genres anyway (except horror) and it'll be fun to dive into the subgenres
Thanks @Nessavamusic for hosting! #NSR22

guess what came in🥲🥰

God Hears Her, A Joyful Christmas

This is a short devotional for the month of December. Each one took maybe 3 minutes to read. It's a morning and evening one. It brings you back to the true meaning of Christmas. I can see myself reading this every December.

Thanks to Netgalley for the Kindle Version of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

83 books in 354 days…that‘ll do pig, that‘ll do.

Facing Your Finances by Jessica Rohrer not listed in database.
With everything costing more these days and no sight of stuff going down in the future, I decided to read this book. It is very practical. Rohrer breaks it all down into layman terms with easy to learn statements that help you. I read it because, in the past, when I tried to stick to a budget it never worked. I think with what I learned, I will be able to stick to one now.

I‘m excited for the #hpootpflourishandblotts reading challenge next year! The drawings were so fun to draw

I read 30 books in 2021. Short of my goal of 50 and way behind of what I accomplished last year (47) but still full of remarkable discoveries: new authors, books I would not have picked on my own, themes I found out I fascinated the most a.k.a. astronomy, and genre I am quite fond of this year - narrative non-fiction. There were so many ups and downs this year that halted my daily readings but I got up and persevered and reminded myself 👇

I was thinking that I'll not be able to achieve my goal for this year since july maybe ? But I did it and I can't believe that I managed to do this! This was such a hectic year for me and I didn't really read that much (or so I thought) it is a weird feeling to be able to achieve my goal with all the problems and things that kept me unmotivated to do anything at all this year. I'm ecstatic that I was able to do it!!!

An Experiment in Love
Small Things Like These
The Man Who Saw Everything

Since the new year is upon us, I decided to read this book bc who doesn't need to take a look at their finances. Well, maybe if you're a millionaire you don't need to ☺️

1. Six Crimson Cranes
2. Reading more from my TBR

As much as I love Rainbow Roswell‘s novels, this short story comes across more as a writing exercise that was never completed than a standalone text, short story or otherwise. Disappointing—read one of her novels instead.

@LA_Mead I love my #PoutinePenPals #StockingSwap gifts. Those spatulas are perfect & I've had The Princess Bride on my TBR for ages. Thanks so much. ❄️❤️☃️

Happy Cmas to me! 🎁🎄

UPS just dropped off my puzzle board and a new puzzle. Now to pick an audiobook for #audiopuzzling !

❄️❄️ ready to shop for some 📚#dangerouswoman

So near...

This may seem like a strange question but did anyone of you wonderful people send me this through Amazon? There‘s no note and I‘ve asked all my family and friends and none of them sent it. Maybe one of my #LitsyLove or #PoutinePenPals 🤷‍♀️🤔

And still counting! This is the most I have read in a year.

Love this time of the year 🎄📚

🖤 Hardcover (easier to prop open)
🖤 Fiction to escape from the real world
🖤 Meet favorite author (Neil Gaiman I‘m looking at you - May 2022)

🖤 Stand-alone unless it‘s a series that‘s finished and shorter
🖤 Fantasy
🖤 Enemies to lovers
🖤 Bookstore

Want to play a game? Come join the fun if you haven‘t.

I completed my 2021 challenge today! I didn‘t really have the mental clarity to read regularly until June of this year. We had so many major life changes! But it‘s thanks to my library and jumping fully back into mysteries and thrillers that I love reading again!

If The Fates Allow by Rainbow Rowell

This is a VERY short novella, I feel like I'm cheating by counting it on Goodreads 😂 but it's SO GOOD.

If you, like me, tried (and still try) to do all of the right things during the pandemic you will find this to be both funny and relatable. I seriously feel a kinship here. Also, this gem is FREE for Prime members as both an audio and an ebook. I wish Litsy would get it in their library already!

@BooksAndYarn I got your #creepychristmas package today. I can't wait. ❤️☠️💚🪦

December #BOTM #bookmail #subscriptionbox

I'm going to be hosting #PemberLittens Readalong in January so I need to sort out the issue of Notifications not showing up on my Lock Screen. They only way I can see Notifications is if I open my Litsy app.

I have Litsy app for Android phone. I've gave permission for Notifications. Sometimes I will get one right after I post something but then no more. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Thank you Sarah Ramsay from Littleton, CO. I couldn‘t find her Litsy handle so if anyone knows who she is, please help me make sure she sees this. @MaleficentBookDragon do you know who this is? #jolabokaflodswap I‘m so tempted to open it early. Work (retail leading up to the holiday) is obviously getting insanely busy. Chocolate and a book sounds like total bliss right about now!
