Welcome to Litsy!

What a beautiful day! 🎄🧑‍🎄🎅 🎁 I opened my #jolabokaflodswap box today because I wanted to receive something bookish today. I don‘t receive books from Christmas. Love the wrapping paper @karisa so pretty,,and that paper bear is adorable. The box had many pretty stickers all around. And the card envelope? Beautiful! Does the paper bear has something inside? I don‘t want to open it if I don‘t have to. Let me know.

My #JolabokaflodSwap package arrived! Thank you so much @OndinetheSea , I‘m so excited!!!!

I'm posting my December #BookSpin list early since I'm going to be too busy during the week and next weekend to post.

Thanks for making me an Auntie!

This short story is even better the second time around. I previously just listened to all the short stories (1 released each Christmas) but now I‘m reading the entire series in order for #serieslove2023. It‘s even sweeter having read it this way and I can‘t wait to start the next book. Love love love this series. @julesG I understand why you keep rereading the series!! @TheSpineView @Andrew65

I‘m going to sneak in this short audiobook. I‘ve already read it years ago but since I‘ve started the series from the beginning, I‘m going to listen to this one again so I stay in order. And this author just puts me in a good mood. #serieslove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

So my Christmas present from Mr K - a comfy chair for the library. Love his surprise wrapping! 🥰♥️🥰

Well this one was certainly a surprise; can‘t wait to see what happens!

One really should be familiar with the Chronicles of St Mary (I am not) to get the most out of this short story but it was still enjoyable all the same and confirmed for me that I really do like this author. I will be looking up her series and reading more! Again the narration was wonderful. #holidayread

On the second read of Christmas, my TBR pile gave to me...
Another pair of reunited lovers (but with time travel this time)
#12ReadsOfChristmas

I don't know if anyone else is planning on doing something similar but I've decided this holiday season to read 12 Christmas themed stories. I'm not going to lie, most will be rereads but who cares if it carries on the Christmas spirit. Currently on my second story (tagged) but will post about each as I go though my mini challenge
#12ReadsOfChristmas

Probably one of my favorite Christmas presents and the fact that it is from my dad who is not a reader and doesn‘t really understand my love of reading makes it all the more special!

Just a few more pots and deck is done for summer. I've worked all day with my phone in my pocket listening to St Mary's. Never leave anyone behind and take care of your friends. It the St Mary's way. *FYI Unlike previous short stories in this series this one needs to be read in order. * No more Audible today, got to charge my phone. 🙄#listenwhileyouwork

Just one more day! #SecretSantaGoesPostal #WinterSolsticeBookExchange

These are a couple of the gifts I‘ve been wrapping today! I love wrapping paper 💖 #🎁 #JingleShelves

Omg thank you so much for the Christmas gift. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I love it all and so does Abigail.😊❤️#litsypenpal #christmaspals

So I just ordered myself a from me to me present... 4 new books!!! 🤓

Why thank you Barnes and Nobel 😊😊😊

I love that the short stories are free on Audible (for members, anyway. Not sure if you're not a member). But they're 1 hr to 90 min each, and there are a half dozen of them. It's like a whole bonus book! And they're pretty spoiler free. If you try 1.5 or 2.5, it'll give you a taste for the whole series.

Max.

Sweet.

Merry Christmas Eve, Littens! I'm about to load up the presents in my sleigh (Jeep Renegade). Sadly, there aren't many books under there. I'm the only one in my family who got the voracious reader gene😄Happy reading to you all! I hope Santa brings you all the books on your wish lists!

No book...just some cool things my husband made for holiday decorations! Easy and cute!

I think this quote sums up this series for me: "For safety's sake we usually land in a back alley somewhere. In fact, should you ever find yourself in a quiet back alley somewhere, it's well worth checking around. There's bound to be a pod and two bickering historians nearby. Wave, if you like."
I'm totally binge reading these at the moment. This short story made me teary eyed on the train.
