allons à la librairie,

let‘s go to the bookstore,
get lost in a good book —

This picture is from 2018

Snail Mail | Samantha Berger

I know that many of you were a bit shocked when Litsy “Love” abruptly ended. What‘s even worse is that none of us were given continued access to the address list even though we were “told” to feel free to continue writing each other. You need addresses to keep writing! I have a copy and would be happy to email it to anyone who wants one. Just leave your email address in the comments or email me directly at cydneybean@gmail.com. 💚

CBee Thanks to Lynn @Read4life for giving me the list to begin with! 💚 1mo

I could almost see myself being in this book because I love cemeteries and graveyards so much, and I see ‘ghosts‘ too, though they are nothing like the ones in this book. When our main character is asked to help with a case due to her profession, she finds herself breaking all the rules her father taught her and must decide if it is worth finding answers she and others seek.

JenniferEgnor Shown: my husband and I at the pyramid mausoleum at Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston, SC. This book is set in Charleston and I think the main cemetery used is based on Magnolia. 1mo

Preseason kicks off tomorrow with the Cards vs. (of all teams) the Chiefs. Here's hoping for a (dare I say) good season! ♥️🏈🤍

Do we dare to hope
that the Cardinals will win
a few games this year?

marleed I absolutely love the energy a winning sports team brings to the community and always hope that every generation gets to witness their cherished team take home the big prize at least once or twice in their lifetime. In this particular case though, and since I‘ve only witnessed pro football live in one stadium, please don‘t unfriend me for my long and oft painful loyalty to the KC Chiefs - I know our turn is fleeting. 🤣🏈❤️💛 2mo

TheBookHippie I would like to introduce you to THE CUBS 💙🐻🤭🤭🤭🤭 and THE BEARS.. (edited) 2mo

KadaGul @dabbe Miracles do happen, but they haven't happened to the Bears 🐻, Colts, Titans, Dolphins 🐬, Panthers 🐅, Giants, Jaguars 🐆, or Raiders YET 🤣🤣. So, let's see if 2025 is their Year, but chances are slim. 2mo

lil1inblue @TheBookHippie 😂 😂 😂 The eternal struggles... 2mo

TheBookHippie @lil1inblue I shouldn‘t complain I‘ve seen them both win big but only once 🤣🫣😅 2mo

dabbe @marleed I completely forgive you! And I do love the Chiefs, too. Even without the Kelce-Swift love story! ♥️💛♥️ 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie You mean #DABEARS, right? 💙🤍♥️ (we need a navy blue heart emoji!) 2mo

dabbe @KadaGul We can hope, right? 😂🏈😂 2mo

marleed @dabbe ♥️🖤🩶🏈 2mo

marleed @TheBookHippie My eldest sister (rip) and her husband were/are massive Cubs fans - and also lifelong residents of Butte, MT. John (75ish) grew up on a street where every boy was assigned a baseball team and he acquired The Cubs from a kid aging out. It was his job to know every stat and player of his team. He still does - nearly 70 years later! I was beyond thrilled they won the World Series as my sister battled cancer. 2mo

TheBookHippie @marleed awe how lovely!!! It was so much fun my daughter and I were in Chicago that day and the days after. 💙I‘m so glad he got that! I‘m so sorry about your sister. Mine died of cancer when we were children. Cancer is such a horrific thing. 2mo

lil1inblue @TheBookHippie 🎯🎯🎯 2mo

dabbe @marleed So sorry about your sister but glad she got to see them win. They were my MIL's favorite team. 💙🤍♥️ 2mo

marleed @TheBookHippie @dabbe Returning from Butte to Kansas City following her funeral my flight was derailed in Bozeman. It was either a hotel or the Red eye and I chose the later. I flew from Bozeman to Seattle (long layover) to Chicago (with a longer layover) to KC. Ordained since Seattle and Chicago were her 2 favorite cities. All I could do was laugh, text my sisters, and purchase Seattle and Chicago Starbucks mugs at each layover. 2mo

TheBookHippie @marleed 💙💙💙💙💙💙 2mo

peaKnit If they could maybe not win the ones against the Cubs right now…Brewer fans are killing me with their mockery 😂🤣 (edited) 2mo

dabbe @marleed #allthefeels ♥️💙♥️💙♥️💙♥️💙♥️💙 2mo

dabbe @peaKnit No worries there ... the Cardinals are our AZ football team! 😂 Which can be easily confused with the St. Louis Cardinals' baseball team! And no worries with our baseball team; the Diamondbacks suck! 😂⚾️😂 2mo

peaKnit Ha! I should have known you meant the football team. I‘m a little hyper focused on the Cubs slide right now…I am among the enemy in WI. 🤦🏼‍♀️ (edited) 2mo

dabbe @peaKnit Go, Cubs! 💙 2mo

RamsFan1963 I don't know how many games the Cardinals will win, but I'm betting they beat the Saints in Week One. The Saints have no QB or much of an offense period. It "should" be a cakewalk for Arizona. 2mo

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🐝👌🏼🏆🐝💝. 2mo

A year ago today I watched him scurry on his belly into my yard. He was scared and dirty and didn‘t trust humans at all. We worked with him, gained his trust, caught him and now he is such a. Loving part of the family. He is a sweet, clean, loving and gentle man. I a, so grateful that out of all yard he chose ours to seek safety. The universe sure knows what it‘s doing.

Prairiegirl_reading Don‘t let the bastards grind you down- in the words of AUTHOR Margaret Atwood. Reading is political, no one can always be happy, and honestly, that person can piss off!! 3mo

PuddleJumper You can get blocked?! 3mo

Itchyfeetreader I am sorry.. what now ? Blocked on Litsy? 3mo

CBee And let me just mention that if this person wants to block based on people who don‘t support the “president” - he or she will be blocking a shit ton of people. We are entitled to our opinions! And we can read together and love books together regardless of our political leanings. Just ridiculous. Love you Denise!! 3mo

dabbe @PuddleJumper Yep, you certainly can! 3mo

dabbe @Itchyfeetreader IKR? 🩵🎯🩵 3mo

dabbe @CBee There are some on Litsy who want only positive posts and nothing that will interfere with their peace of mind. Or, as some say, they can get their political stuff on other social media, but that Litsy should not have any of that. I just can't ignore what's going on. Name me one book that doesn't have social/political thoughts. I can find political even in CHARLOTTE'S WEB! Love you right back, m'dear. Thanks for your lovely support. 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 I guess I put the “craz“ in craziness. 🤣 3mo

CBee @dabbe Litsy is also a safe space for many of us, and that also means being safe to post your opinions and not be punished for it. Ugh. 3mo

Amiable Out of curiosity, how do you know when you‘ve been blocked? Do you get a notification? Or did this person announce their departure like they were at the airport? 🙄 3mo

Amiable @CBee Amen! If someone wants to go around blocking people for protesting the lunatic in the White House, please let me save them the time and out myself right now. 👋🏼👋🏼 3mo

Amiable @dabbe It‘s ironic that these people feel like THEIR vision of what Litsy should be is the only one that matters. 🙄 (edited) 3mo

AmyG I would never block you. 😘😘😘 And…if someone blocked you? They did you a favor. (edited) 3mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I don't understand this? If you just unfollow someone on here they don't show up right? As someone who recently get back into therapy I kind of understand if someone uses this place for escape. But the very existence and ability to read is a political act so nothing on here is outside of politics. 3mo

PuddleJumper There's no shame in wanting a positive place away from the chaos but you curate that. You follow people that post things like that and unfollow people that don't. If other people want to use the platform to share information then they can. As many people said, reading itself is political and a reading platform may have people that want to engage rather than regurgitate propaganda. 3mo

Susanita Why block when you can simply unfollow or scroll past? Thinking that politics is simply something that happens “out there somewhere” and we can glide through the world not paying attention, frankly, is one of the reasons we got into this mess in the first place. But, sure, if you don‘t want to hear it, block me. 3mo

Deblovestoread Thanks for keeping it real and being you! I‘m sorry but this administration (for lack of a better word) is banning books, freedom of speech, messing with arts, etc. How can we stay quiet? I‘m fine with anyone who doesn‘t like my content to unfollow me there‘s no need to be rude about it. 3mo

AnnCrystal Wait, what? That's scary. Litsy is about books, and at the very foundation of books are readers, storytellers, teachers, lawyers, etc. It is our job to stand up and speak, inform, inspire hope, inspire peaceful action. We are the people that oppressors try their best to silence in history because we all seed and nurish the magic garden of hope! 😢✊🏼🐻📚✊📚✊🏻📚✊🏼📚✊🏾📚✊🏾📚✊🏿 📚🙏🏼🇺🇸🦅🇺🇲. Littens, BELIEVE in our magic 🫂💝. 3mo

dabbe @CBee 😘 3mo

dabbe @Amiable She announced nothing but went quietly into that good night. In fact, she had commented on a different post yesterday, so when I went to read the comment, nothing was there. The button to “follow“ her was now there (where I had been following her for years). When I went to look at her page, it was completely blank to me. It's as if she never existed, though she's still on Litsy. 🤷‍♀️ 3mo

dabbe @Amiable 🤣😘😍 3mo

dabbe @Amiable 🎯🩵🎯 3mo

dabbe @AmyG 🥹😘🥹 3mo

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures I'm not sure. If I go to people's pages who are not following me nor am I following them, I can still see their feed. When you are blocked, you can't see ANYTHING of theirs. Ever. I even posted something a while back, saying I'd use the words “#ranttime“ when I posted something political and that people who didn't want to see it could just block the hashtag. I guess that wasn't enough. Thanks for the support. 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @PuddleJumper Like a told @ChaoticMIssAdventures, I even came up with the hashtag #ranttime and said I'd use it when I posted more serious things and that if people didn't want to see those, all they had to do was block the hashtag (kind of like those who don't like all the #scarathlon posts could just block them by blocking that hashtag)--just to try to keep everyone in their own happy-Litsy place. I guess that wasn't enough. 😕 3mo

dabbe @Susanita I think she really wanted to send me a message. If you “unfollow“, a person can still see your feed. She wanted to make a clear divide. And, in a way, I think that's also what's wrong in our country. Too many clear divides being made. 🫤 3mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread I once had a junior tell me (after I jokingly referred to myself at “CrabbyAbbe“), “Mrs. Abbe, I love you!“ When I asked why, she answered “because you keep it real.“ 🥹 Thank you for these words. 🩵💙🩵 3mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal #allthefeels 🩵🥹💙 3mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @dabbe I would brush it off as it is about them not you. If they think they can go anywhere and ignore this hell scape of an admin doing the most horrific things , well then they are either extremely privileged beyond empathy or delusional.... That isn't very nice of me but I find people who do not want to be aware to be a bit selfish if not cruel. 3mo

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures What powerful words. And I agree 💯! Thank you. 💙🩵💙 3mo

Deblovestoread What she said! 💯🎯 @ChaoticMissAdventures 3mo

AnnCrystal I'm not sure....but I believe I know who you're speaking about...I believe she blocked me too.... 3mo

DebinHawaii Wow! Just keep doing you. I‘m proud to follow you & call you my friend. 💛🐝🖤 3mo

JamieArc I saw someone else recently who was pretty prominent on Litsy leave because they didn‘t want to see political posts and thought we should only be posting about books and reading. But this is a community and we get to know each other and want to know about their lives. Personally, I feel safer knowing where those I interact with stand and can be my whole self. I appreciate you. 3mo

CBee @AnnCrystal @dabbe pretty sure I know exactly who it is. And you two aren‘t the first ones she‘s blocked for having differing opinions. I guess she‘s okay going to war for no reason. And, she‘s okay with the myriad of other horrid things he‘s done and will continue to do. (edited) 3mo

CBee @Amiable same here 👏🏻👏🏻 3mo

AnnCrystal @CBee 🫂💝. 3mo

Roary47 Wait…what? Sometimes I worry my very inquisitive son does things on accident for me when stealing my phone. I agree with @CBee we all have our opinions, and you can keep scrolling and still enjoy common books together at later times. I understand wanting a positive scrolling experience when for many if not all of us reading is a release, but you can unfollow someone and not read their posts anymore. 🤷‍♀️ Or like you said @dabbe block the hashtags 3mo

AmyG Yes, I too agree with @ChaoticMissAdventures. It says more about the person who blocked you. It‘s their issue. My guess is that person is angry that their happy place finally addressed the elephant in the reading room. 3mo

CarolynM As an Australian I feel like I shouldn‘t comment on US politics here because it‘s not my business in the way it‘s yours (although, of course, it affects us all) but I totally support all of you who are resisting authoritarianism & the attacks on decades of progress. I say just scroll past if you don‘t like something, or unfollow if it annoys you that much. 3mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread 😘 3mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal Oh, no. Maybe she left completely, and I overreacted? 😬😳🤦🏼‍♀️ 3mo

Jari-chan It's your feed, so it's up to you what to post. As a very worried/scared person from Switzerland it's really reassuring to know that there's resistance in the US/world. So such posts actually help me dealing with the situation. Thank you for everything 💖🙏 3mo

dabbe @CBee @AmyG See? ♥️ 3mo

dabbe @AmyG Time for some badges. 🥇🥇🥇 3mo

dabbe @Jari-chan Your words brought me to my knees. What must you see about this country? There are quite a few of us who are fighting what we believe is a good fight. 💙✊🏻♥️ What a world it would be if we first thought of ourselves as Earthlings before country before political party. What a unifier that would be. ♥️🇨🇭♥️ 3mo

rwmg I really don't see the problem. I have a look at some posts on somebody's homepage and some of their books before I decide whether or not to follow them. I know I'm not going to like (or “like“) all of their posts. If I realise somebody's posts I dislike greatly outnumber their posts I like I unfollow them. There's no need for all this drama.

BTW @dabbe I see you as an asset to Litsy with a high ratio of good posts. Keep on being you. 3mo

Kristy_K I have loved all your posts and knowing that there are people who still care and are as passionate as I am. Don‘t stop posting 💛 3mo

Centique I for one appreciate hearing about who other Littens are, how their lives are going and how they feel affected by huge events around them. So that includes politics! If Litsy was only smiling faces that never showed anger or worry or pain - or spoke about politics - it would be like a forest of fake plastic trees (to quote Radiohead!) I‘m glad you made posts that were real! 💕👍🙌 3mo

Vansa What?! Well, good riddance, you're a great presence on Litsy. And well, the personal is ALWAYS political,at this time of all times, all of us need to engage with politics. It's engaging with us anyway! 3mo

Jari-chan @dabbe What beautiful words! Yes, what a world that would be! 💖 3mo

dabbe @rwmg Boy, you said it: “no need for all this drama.“ Thank you for your kind words. They made my day. BTW, your #coffeeandabook posts are the highlights of my Litsy days. I always want to see not just the book, but the container and venue. 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @Kristy_K Aww, you're so sweet! TY! I'll keep posting just for you! 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @Centique And then we'd never even be able to see that forest through those trees! 🤣 Thank you for this. I like real, too! 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @Vansa Boy, you said it! We can't escape it at all these days. That's why I share here--because Littens are highly intelligent people with excellent discourse. (plus a wee bit of bad-assedness mixed in! 🤣). Thank you. 💙🩵💙 3mo

AmyG @TheBookHippie It‘s not the just the difference in values, it‘s the lack of respect for someone else‘s values. I don‘t block…takes effort. I just ignore…takes no effort to just scroll by. 3mo

TheBookHippie @AmyG exactly. It‘s the entitlement. 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie I knew you were there ... always. 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie So f-ing true. 🎯🩵🎯 3mo

dabbe @peaKnit You rock. Thank you. 💙🥹💙 3mo

dabbe @AmyG @TheBookHippie ... So true! However, ... she wanted to send me a message: a slap in the face if you will. Well, the bruise was there yesterday, but it's already healing. ✊🏻💙✊🏻 3mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @dabbe I was blocked by one of your friends a while back. Out of respect I had made zero posts in response to their opinions over the last 4 years. And believe me, I had strong opinions. It was a blessing to me because I found out the real person she is, not the one she pretends to be and wants everyone to think she is. It is what it is!!

lil1inblue Reading is political. That's all I have to say. 💓 3mo

dabbe @lil1inblue And what you said is more than enough, my friend. Thank you. 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I appreciate you sharing your perspective. I also try not comment on people's posts that I disagree with. People‘s online interactions don‘t reflect who they are in full, and sometimes distance can bring clarity. At the end of the day, we all have our own journeys and interpretations of events––good to see you‘ve found what works best for you. And thank you for your husband's and your service to this nation. 3mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @dabbe you‘re welcome. 3 deployments and he would still be willing to go today if not for his stroke. 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @AmyG I agree with you. If someone posts something I don‘t like, I just keep scrolling. So easy. I seem to lose at least 1 follower every time I post one of my Sweet Valley reviews and I don‘t get it. 😳 The entitlement is baffling. Can‘t imagine taking the time to block someone on Litsy of all places. We love you @dabbe !! 💙🩵💙 3mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Aww, you're so sweet! Why can't we all be like Dory in FINDING NEMO? Instead of #justkeepswimming, we can #justkeepscrolling ... Right back atcha, m'dear! 💙🩵💙 3mo

CBee @dabbe @TheBookHippie check your email later. I have my own need for #ranttime 🤦‍♀️ 3mo

TheBookHippie @CBee I didn‘t get it? 3mo

TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 everytime I see your sweet valley high I smile. 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie @CBee Same here. 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @TheBookHippie aww that makes me happy 🤗💚💚💚 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 🩵🎯🩵 3mo

CBee @dabbe @TheBookHippie haven‘t sent it yet. Will do tonight! 3mo

CBee @JenlovesJT47 I was a rabid Sweet Valley fan as a kid so I LOVE your posts about it. (edited) 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @CBee aww yay, I‘m glad somebody enjoys them.🤗💙🩵💙 I‘m so behind on my reviews and required reading at the moment 😭 3mo

TheBookHippie @CBee ♥️ 3mo

julieclair Just now seeing this. I‘m aghast. @dabbe @TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal @AmyG You have all been blocked?? This makes no sense. Y‘all are among the most supportive and caring people on Litsy! This makes me sad. I can understand unfollowing someone or blocking a hashtag if you prefer not to see certain posts, especially for mental health/stress/anxiety reasons. (Just like sometimes I can‘t even watch the news so I turn it off.) But totally blocking⬇️ 3mo

julieclair (Con‘t) someone means you can‘t even interact with them about books! And if anything, shouldn‘t we all be striving to cultivate positive connections with each other through things we do have in common? How are we ever going to be able to pull ourselves out of this worrisome, crippling disunity if we refuse to even have conversations about a hobby - reading - we all enjoy? (edited) 3mo

TheBookHippie @julieclair I have blocked three people for my safety or personal reasons in nine years. I however have been blocked by multiple people. It just is. I‘m more concerned about other things. ♥️ 3mo

TheBookHippie @julieclair and yes sometimes you just cannot and it is sad. 3mo

julieclair @TheBookHippie The thought of you having to block someone for safety reasons makes me even sadder. 😢 I admire your attitude of acceptance about it, and will try to take that to heart. You‘re right that there are plenty of other things to be concerned about. 💝 3mo

TheBookHippie @julieclair ♥️ currently trying to keep school breakfast & lunch free. People blocking me because I speak out about a president they love and I don‘t seems a bit silly. 🙃 3mo

AmyG @julieclair Thank you for your kind words. You are too sweet. I don‘t seem to be blocked anymore…I think just unfollowed. It‘s of no concern to me. I still follow those I like and respect. 3mo

AmyG @JenlovesJT47 I can never unfollow you….I‘d miss pics of your adorable son. I remember when he was born! 3mo

dabbe @julieclair Thank you, m'dear for such kind words. 💙🥹🩵 I was a bit bummed yesterday (hence the haiku) but not so much for being blocked as for this inability even to have intelligent discourse. And I did try the hashtag #ranttime to let people off the hook. 🤷‍♀️ New day, new focus. Onward and upward. We're in this and are fighting the best fight we can for better lives for ALL Earthlings. I now think of myself as primarily that. 🤣😍✊🏻 3mo

JenlovesJT47 Where‘s President Whitmore from Independence Day when you need him?? 😆 3mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 🩵🎯🩵😘 3mo

AnnCrystal Thank You 🫂 @julieclair for your sweet caring words. I'm so glad we're friends on Litsy.

I didn't take it personally, I just prayed for this person and was glad to know.

🐻👌🏼😘💖💝. 3mo

TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 seriously where is he… 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @TheBookHippie his speech in the movie still gives me chills… 3mo

TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 agree. 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie @JenloveJT47 “We will not vanish without a fight!“ ✊🏻💙✊🏻 3mo

Bookbuyingaddict Hey lovely lady what‘s going on ? Why were you blocked 🚫? That‘s odd , 😣😘x x x. X 3mo

Chrissyreadit @dabbe I am sorry i missed this thread because while it‘s a tough topic it‘s filled with favorite littens commenting and caring❤️ I‘m not as active as i was and hope to be again- so miss out on discussions sometimes but welcome to the #ivebeenblocked club and consider it a badge of honor as well as a way to weed out who conversations and discourse matter for. #readingispolitical also conversations and civics are crucial. ❤️😘 3mo

JenlovesJT47 @AmyG 😘 Jace says hi! 👋🏻 I‘ll post a pic soon. 💙🩵💙 3mo

AmyG Ha! Such a cute kid. 👋 3mo

dabbe @Bookbuyingaddict I believe I was blocked for posting about current events, which are not always so happy and pretty. Instead of just scrolling by or unfollowing, I got sent a fairly bold message by being ghosted. And thanks to all the wonderful support by all of the above lovely Littens (including yourself), I have moved on and now wear it as a badge of honor. 💙✊🏻💙 3mo

dabbe @Chrissyreadit Thank you, my friend. As you can see, I took your advice in my reply to @Bookbuyingaddict. 💙✊🏻💙 3mo

dabbe @CBee @TheBookHippie ... I just replied back! 😘 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe working booksale trying to get service 😂😅 3mo

julieclair @TheBookHippie Yeah…. when you compare blocking to free/reduced lunch, the blocking seems pretty trivial. I can‘t even imagine what would happen if that program went away. Trying to find ways to feed kids over the summer every year is challenging enough. 😢 3mo

julieclair @AnnCrystal Praying for the person is such a positive way to handle it! Good for you. I‘m glad we‘re friends on Litsy, too! 💝 3mo

julieclair @Chrissyreadit It‘s so fun to see you pop up in this thread! I‘ve missed you! And I look forward to when you‘re able to be active again, my friend. 💝 And I can‘t believe you‘ve been blocked, too. This is craziness! 3mo

AnnCrystal @julieclair 🥲🫂💝💝💝. 3mo

Chrissyreadit @julieclair 😘 I love litsy!! and all of my blocking was during the term before Bidens, so it‘s old news 🤣. I am always so happy to see you too my friend 💛 3mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @julieclair I‘ve been blocked by several people and I just don‘t let it bother me! Can‘t be everyone‘s cup of tea right?! 💛 3mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe I missed this whole thing somehow but just wanted to add my support 3mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk You know, I'm glad you did. There's a lot more going on in life than this. TY, m'dear. 🩵💙🩵 3mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe I was just looking for #TLT 🤣 Thank goodness you changed the lists. 3mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk H🤩LLELUJ🤩H! 😂 3mo

julieclair @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Oh my goodness, you too? I admire your practical attitude so much! 💙 I have not yet been blocked (that I know of) but I think it would really hurt my feelings. 3mo

TheLudicReader Read my emojis: for the blocker 🤯🖕🤬🤷‍♀️but you, you I ❤️ 3mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @julieclair ❤️❤️❤️ 3mo
