Welcome to Litsy!

For my birthday, my kids re-created my favorite photo of them as kids. ❤️ I think photos are my favorite things after books...and tea. 🤔😊 What are some of your favorite things? (Besides books, of course) 🙃 #favoritethings

Happy New Year and happy #Bestof2021Swap opening day! Don‘t forget to tag your match and I in your opening post.

If you haven‘t received your package yet, please let me know. Everyone has sent their packages, but some may still be stuck in transit.

Thank you all for participating! I can‘t wait to see what you received.

The #festivephotochallenge is favorite gift, I was spoiled with good Bombas socks and slippers, and my oldest daughter gets me, long walks to the library would be heaven, I may need to plan ahead for retirement to live walking distance from the library and wear these socks. #WinterGames2021

Friendly reminder to send your #Bestof2021Swap package out as soon as possible!

I am tagging everyone who hasn‘t posted about it yet. If you sent your package, but forgot to post, let me know in the comments approximately when you mailed it!

Thank you to everyone who has already responded to the email. Happy stalking and shopping!

This super fun swap is now open for sign up! See @candority for details 🤍🤍🤍🤍

I was so sad when I missed this swap last year but since I‘m a sucker for punishment I‘ve signed up for my third swap this coming month. I have a trial about to kick off and I‘m counting on peace afterwards (famous last words) so I can pay proper attention to gifting for my swaps. Thanks @candority for hosting! #bestof2021swap

I'm going to start off 2022 with a fun swap! #BestOf2021Swap @candority Thanks for hosting! This swap a pair well with the #newyearwhodis challenge that I hope to participate in.

Thanks @candority for bringing back your amazing swap! #BestOf2021Swap is a great way to reflect on the positive things about this past year and spread that love to another Litten!

Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in the #Bestof2021Swap! The sign-up form is ready to go and will remain open until November 14: https://forms.gle/Q7CsPtKBWwS4Sy758

This year, there are no tier levels. Instead, everyone will be responsible for sending TWO books and FOUR gifts. Please check out the form for more details.

Feel free to ask me any questions you may have and please share to spread the word!

@candority is taking stock to see who‘d be interested in a #Bestof2021 Swap! Her event last year was one of my favorite new swaps in the Swapiverse!

She describes it thusly:

“The idea [is] to reflect on the things that brought you joy throughout the year & share them with someone else by sending your match some of your favourite books & goodies…If there is enough interest, I will post sign ups by the end of this week. Opening Day: Jan 1, 2022.”

In my effort to avoid people during the rise of Covid numbers and fear of postal delays my #bookcupidswap was ordered online this week and should be delivered soon. 💗 @candority

Thought this group would appreciate this beautiful gift my husband got for me with many of my favorite books.

Relaxing days with a fuzzy blanket, good book and fireplace! #wintergames #teamnutcracker @Bookworm54

Maira Kalman is a prolific Israeli-born American author/illustrator. In this book she muses on the significance of ordinary and unusual objects in our public and private worlds.

I have been neglecting the #MusicalNewYear photo challenge, both because I have been busy, but also because I have used every free minute I have had to finish Assassin‘s Fate. But #Tomorrow, I‘ll be better!

To start off, here‘s a pic of some of #MyFavoriteThings - surprise, it‘s books! 😄📚😄📚

Always feels good to reach milestones like these, especially in a great place like Litsy ❤️ Choosing one fave book for the #myfavethingsgiveaway is nearly impossible!
