Welcome to Litsy!

#HauntedShelf total was 2616

I‘m relieved I did a bit better in the back half… though, at close of every October, I think I will always wish I‘d managed to squeeze in just a bit more spooky.

Thanks @OriginalCyn620 for leading Team #DeadSerious!

And thanks @PuddleJumper for organizing a month of fun!

Repost for @Bookwormjillk

Looking forward to reading with you all this weekend! It‘s a great time to read a cozy mystery or read while you‘re cozy. What are your plans? Everyone is welcome! #HauntedShelf #CozyReads

Thank you so much for this fun #fffs package Jessi!!! I love my new travel mug and adorable witchy bookmark!!! yummy tea! And great books!

So, my 86 yo mom is not a huge reader…mostly the Bible and magazines/newspapers.

I want to see if I can get her interested in some cozy mysteries…but I‘m not really very familiar with them as they‘re not a favorite genre for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Any suggestions as to a good cozy book/series to start with?

Thanks much! 🩷

Happy Saturday! I‘m enjoying some reading time this morning and channeling the hygge vibes of this artwork. Isn‘t this the dream of every Litten? Love this artist‘s work!💜📚🎨

Another amazing package for our #cbbc (it arrived on time, I however, did not post on time). The kiddos begged to have a piece of the candy as a treat in their lunch box. You know how to make us all happy! Thank you!! #coffeebeanbookclub #illovetheseguys #whohasthelingestrunninglitsygeoup?

Another AMAZING package for #coffeebeanbookclub. Thank you so much! The puzzle is beautiful and oh my GOSH the whole box smelled amazing because of the bath bombs (yes they are already opened because I had to get a closer smell lol)
I love our group!

Book in hand means dogs on lap. #cozy #dogsoflitsy

I love a cozy swap!!! I'm so excited!!! Thanks for hosting #FallingForFallSwap @avanders !!!

Yeah, I‘m bailing on this. It probably has some useful points about how we make our spaces and our minds “cozy” to be comfortable in our worlds. But the tone of this book has set me on edge from the first page in a way I can‘t quite put my finger on, and 40 pages in I don‘t foresee that changing. Cutting my losses and moving on.

In anticipation for tomorrow‘s opening I laid out my gifts from @MatchlessMarie
I‘m so excited. Everything looks beautiful.

Sorry I am behind on posting but my #cozyswap package is already on its way west! 🍂📚❤️🧡💛

@Avanders @ferskner @Chrissyreadit

My #cozyswap package arrived last night. Thank you @MatchlessMarie
Now the long wait begins. I may have picked it up a shook it a few times.🤣

My box just got here! There is a small tear on the outside but it looks mostly intact. Excited to open @Kdgordon88

It‘s here!! #cozyswap @ferskner @Chrissyreadit @Avanders (also PS mine went out Tuesday and I forgot to post to let you all know). Now to stalk and try to figure out who it‘s from 😂

@Avanders OmG!!! You are such a kind, generous friend! This was a surprise! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

I am happy to report that my #cozyswap has been officially shipped and should be arriving to @LibrarianRyan by Wednesday.

May your reading nook offer just the right level of cozy! 🙂📚

This delightful little book explains to us the many different ways we can add a little coziness to our homes and our lives. Best read curled up with your favourite warm drink of choice whilst you get some ideas on how to cozy up your world. #isabelgillies #cozytheartofarrangingyourselfintheworld #tea_sipping_bookworm #bookstagram #bookqueen #amazon#kindle #litsy #goodreads #greatreads #cozy

My 37th birthday is Sunday. Given limited options, I've decided to spend it reading and relaxing...and I want you to join me. From 6-9pm on Sunday, June 14, take a break from the craziness of the world and read with me. Put on some pajamas, pour a glass of wine or grab some tea, and then get cozy with a book/books of your choice. Want to send me a gift? Post a selfie of you reading and tag me!

@BethM I‘m sorry it took so long to post. Thank you so much for all the great goodies.#coffeebeanbookclub ladies, expect an email tonight. ❤️

Yup. 😀

I was so excited for this book that I found at the library, but it was quite a disappointment. Overall it just felt like a rambling list of things the author felt were cozy and her humble bragging about her life. And I‘m so sad that I didn‘t like it now that I realized the author played Stabler‘s wife in Law and Order: SVU. 2⭐️

@Chrissyreadit You are too sweet!! Thank you! I must make that cozy reading day - complete with socks! - happen soon! (Two sewer back ups in one week make it extra needed 🙄🤪🤣)

I love the bookmark design!

Simple but inspiring to find more coziness in my life!

@Gissy I love the flamingo reading!! Thank you

@Gissy the other two arrived!!!

Yay for fall and #cozyswap 🎃 Thank you! @AprilMae We unfortunately had 2 fatalities the mug shattered and the popcorn busted open! 😿 On a high note i love it all! Im so excited to read the books! And the socks and hot chocolate are perfect cozy additions! Thank you agai !

Look what arrived today! I can‘t wait to open it!!!

Thank you @Q84 the #cozyswap box arrived🤗 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ @Avanders My last two Agatha Christie boxes for #CozySwap are out! They should arrive on time by Monday. Crossing fingers that my match like the items I picked🤞Now wait until Litsy autumn begins 🍂🍁🌻🍂🍁🌼

Hey @MaleficentBookDragon , this was waiting for me today! What a great surprise on a dreary Monday. Thank you soooooo much, I can‘t wait until the 23rd!

Sent mine out today and they should arrive by Friday. :) YAY!

@Avanders #cozyswap

My #cozyswap package is here! In all the hurricane craziness recently, I‘d forgotten about it. Now to obsess until opening day😄

@Avanders it‘s here! 😍😍😍😍😍

In the middle of pre-hurricane errands, I stopped at the post office to mail my #cozyswap package. Forgot to take a picture of the box, but I have my receipt to track it to a part of the country not threatened by Dorian.

I didn‘t want to let #cozyswap get away from me. Deadlines have a way of sneaking up on me 😎 Anyway, my shopping is done and everything is wrapped, although I‘ve proved once again that I failed gift wrap 101! Probably won‘t be able to get to the post office until next week, but then it will be off in plenty of time - I hope 🤞

1. Either, and supernatural!
2. Either? I‘ve actually not read Poirot or Marple- but I love Midsummer Murders and I wonder if they are similar to those characters/detectives?
3. Nancy Drew? Clearly, I‘m a newbie ready to jump into the genre!
4. I used to, but with my work I cannot wear it so it sits in a box.
5. Yellow and orange. Anything like a campfire and fall trees.
#cozyswap

That's everything ordered for my #cozyswap match ordered! I'm on holiday early September so want to get it out before I go. @Avanders

I did some shopping this morning for my #cozyswap package. It‘s hard to think about fall in South Florida when it‘s 92 degrees and the heat index is 104😄 I had lots of fun, though, and I resisted temptation: no books for me! I got these instead.

#cozyswap
1. More modern, maybe because I‘ve read more of those.
2. Poirot, although I guess I never thought of him as “cozy.”
3. Lord Peter. I think I‘ve read all of the Sayers books.
4. I‘m an earring and pendant person but am really particular about earrings because they must be light.
5. Red, but any deep, vibrant shade.
Thanks for putting this together @jenniferw88

Thanks for the questions @jenniferw88 !!! :)

1. Actually quite open to either!! Give me a lovely setting and I'm game.
2. Marple ♡
3. I need to read more cozies. So just bring on whatever!
4. Yes! I like rings a lot :)
5. Navy (probably not really a fall color 😂), yellow, ivory, and orange.

#cozyswap @Avanders

Last two additions for #cozyinthsun. Accidental Werewolf had a few laughs but was just ok. Murder Plain and Simple was slow, the only good thing was the neurotic French bulldog😁 Both were 🌟🌟
A grand total of 6 cozies.
Thank you for hosting @Librarybelle @ferskner

This looks likes so much fun!!! @Librarybelle @ferskner #cozyinthesun
