Welcome to Litsy!

We are in it right now. Wes is still not sleeping in his bed and just endlessly screaming. We don‘t know what to do anymore.

We have one more Christmas to go, but here are my favorite bookish Christmas presents so far! I thought the bag would be bigger but it should still be ok for our library trips. The pouch is for my kindle to go in my purse bc I have a book cover on it and it gets a little banged up sometimes.

These 3 lovely cards arrived today ! Thank you Carolyn and Paula , and thank you Jessie. What a dotey little bookmark Jessie 🥰 Thankyou All for thinking of me XXX

My newest t-shirt - Christmas gift from my mom. ☺

Hey everyone, I graduated from college! I got a BA in history and I‘m now applying to graduate school in political science. I also finished my senior thesis, which ended up being 78 pages long… It‘s titled, In the Shadows of Brotherhood: Analyzing Three Women‘s Gendered Political Roles, Contributions, and Alternative Discourses in the Club of Great Powers During the Late Bronze Age (1500-1200 BC). I start a new job at Barnes and Noble tomorrow!

Merry Christmas from me and these little monsters. I hope all my litten friends have had a wonderful Christmas full of fun and books. My hubby got me invisible book shelves for Christmas. I‘m very excited to put them up! 🎄❄️❤️

Favorite song???! #HOLIDAYFRIENDS

Greensleeves for me 🎶🎼🎵

Happy Christmas, everyone 😁🎆🎄🌟🌟✨

How is everyone ?? ♥️🎄👋🏼

Merry Christmas everyone! May your day be filled with books, chocolate, and family! 🎄🎅📚🍫

Going on 19hrs without power....on Xmas Eve. The house isn't clean, the gifts aren't wrapped but Santa is coming either way!! Luckily, the generator is enough to keep us warm, somewhat fed and entertained for a while so we aren't going too nuts 🤣🤣

Hope everyone who celebrates has an amazing holiday!! Stay warm and stay safe 🥰🥰

Wishing all who celebrate, a very Merry Christmas 🎄

Huge thank you to @BookwormAHN for my #jolabokaflodswap goodies and book! Love 💕 it!
And thanks to @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing!
Merry Christmas Eve and happy holidays! ❤️🎄🎁🎅🏻

I love to make personalised hampers, nothing too extravagant but love to personalise them with peoples favourite treats ❤️

I waited as long as I could but today's my last day before vacation so I can't wait anymore.

I know it's supposed to be secret but @DinoMom your #CreepyChristmas is on its way! It's more Christmas than creepy right now because the rest of the gift hasn't come in yet. I'll send it out whenever it makes it's appearance. I'm expecting it will be in the New Year. But something's better than nothing, right?

My grandparents made this Christmas Village in 1980. I ended up with it! It's my favorite Christmas Decoration.

Forgot to post in all the chaos of the weekend but my #Jolabokaflod packages are out and on their way! I did ship later than I should have but both show delivery on Wednesday so they should definitely make it to their homes in time for the holidays 🎄

My #JolabokaflodSwap box arrived yesterday (thanks, @Karisa !) but I had to pick my daughter up from the airport, and in the chaos of that (gridlocked traffic in the rain!), I forgot to post. So excited to open it! However, I will be good and await the appointed day. 😇🎄🎁

My #jolabokflodswap package came on today. Mystery sender, mystery package. Hopefully k#it all unravels Christmas Eve! 🎄

Got my #jolabokaflodswap package today! I didn't see a handle on the outside (unless it's there and I can't find it!), so thank you to my match! @MaleficentBookDragon

@CarolynM and @BookNAround thank you for the sweet Christmas cards. I‘m so blessed with good friends. 😊

Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year, Carolyn and Kristen! ❤️

I‘m late in posting but I got spoiled this year! I received some great books from @robinb and @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks thank you both so much! 💕💕💕
I also bought a new Kindle Paperwhite with Christmas money, not because I needed it whatsoever but because I really liked it! 🤣 And I got some Amazon gift cards. I‘m excited! 😀🎄

A slower week with Christmas preparations in full swing. Hoping for a strong finish for the last week of #wintergames2021!! #mistletoemaniacs

Thank you, Santa 🎅🏼 for always bringing a stack of books to my babies. Btw, why do they look so big, even in those onesie jammies? 😭 My youngest (right) will soon be 8.

Merry Christmas from the mitten, dear littens! It‘s a balmy 52 here today, and as you can see, quite green. But it‘s been a lovely Christmas so far, and it will continue this afternoon: euchre and foodstuffs with our bffs. Good cheer and good health to all!

Merry Christmas Littens 🎅🏻

Thank you @ncsufoxes for the awesome bookmarks and goodies! Sorry I didn't post this sooner but my phone hasn't been working well. #litsylovewinterswap

#WishesAndBlessings Day 28: Occasionally, I am the #BahHumbug of the family as I don‘t particularly enjoy Christmas games or lots of noise during the holidays. Just being with these two is enough of me. But also deeply grateful for the huge family contingent here in Antioch, California where we are spending our holidays. Hope Christmas is glorious to all of you, Litsy people! Lots of 💕💕💕💕💕 and 📚📚📚📚📚
