Welcome to Litsy!

In our family, hot cocoa is for the festive time of year, so today I made a mug and am alternating between writing the sequel to my winter fantasy novel and enjoying holiday reads! 🎄📚

A lovely evening. This story, and the illustrations that go along with it, will never get old ❄💙

❄️ My Christmas read for this week! ❄️

These will be on my must reads list for December! I don't get a lot of time to read during Christmas so I'm happy with these 2 picks! 🥰🎄🎅🎁❄️☃️

I've made a very ambitious TBR for #WinterGames this year! I know the titles are hard to make out, but I didn't want to try to stack 72 books 😂 (a bunch of those are children's books) 🎄 #TeamGameSleighers @StayCurious

I've also made my #bookspin list and will be doing #bookspinbingo also, @TheAromaofBooks

I've read this one many times, and I love it more and more each time! 💙 I started reading it in December, but never got around to finishing it, and am so glad I did, especially on such a snowy weekend! ❄❄❄

Also, the illustrations in this book 😍 Simply beautiful!

Every year I read this, I'm blown away all over again by how beautiful the story is and how stunning the illustrations are 🥰❄🎄

My reading for this evening! Something Christmasy and something for the #FellowshipofTolkien group 🎄📚

❄ What don't I love about winter?! It's my favorite season! I love how quiet and still everything is when it snows.

2. The Name of the Wind. I still perfectly remember the last line, & it's unusual for something to stick with me line that book did.

3. Middle Grade (for the fantasy genre) and then fantasy or bargain books section

4. I'm not sure who's new to Litsy, but if you are, welcome and consider yourseld tagged!

I‘m sure most of this months photo challenges have a TBR. Here‘s mine. It‘s not the tree. It‘s the books surrounding the tree.

I hate to admit but this is made from only books under my TV.

Temporarily DNFing this. I‘m so sad to say I just didn‘t get around to finishing it before Christmas time was over. I was absolutely LOVING it though. I will definitely pick it up again, maybe during Christmas in July!

This book has that classic Victorian Christmas feel. it's 500+ pages, but it didn't feel that long. I loved it. It's a very beautiful story about love conquering fear.
