Good Morning Littens! Last night I saw that I was dangerously close to 500,000 Litfluence points (Wowza!) 🎉 & I thought if catch it at 500K, I should do a giveaway. Well, my alarm went off at 5 AM & I looked & I was right on! On the 5th too!!! Way too much kismet!

So, because Litsy has brought me great joy this past 8 years, to enter to win a prize pack from Hawaii (the 50th state) leave a comment here with 5 THINGS THAT BRING YOU JOY. I‘ll ⬇️

DebinHawaii …draw a #500KGiveaway winner randomly. You get an extra entry if you also post/repost about the giveaway and/or make a post about your 5 joyful things & tag me. The prize pack will be a book I love, a book from your wishlist & 5 “goodies” from Hawaii. The drawing is open to all & I‘ll randomly draw the winner in 5 days (of course!)😉

Thank you ALL for bringing me joy & fun & good books to read! 🎉📚💙
