Welcome to Litsy!

I made this cute book counter at The Corner Nook last night with my sister, and I love it so much! I‘ve always wanted one and now I have one I painted myself. 📖📚I also found out another Litten was there last night! I hope we can meet at another event @bookandbedandtea !

Okay, I‘m late on this but very excited! What a great way to tackle those books that have been lingering on my shelves unread for too long! I need to purge but I look at them and think, “but this is supposed to be really good!” and it stays. So these books are about to have to put up or shut up! 😂 I know the numbers have been drawn so I‘ve already pulled my first two out! #BookSpinBingo #BookSpin

This was a great book. Written through letters, it‘s a sweet story of friendship and love and a grand appreciation of food.

I start every year by making this my first read for the year. Normally I finish it in a couple of hours, but this year is different. I‘ve not read a book in weeks, including audiobooks, so it‘s an accomplishment to complete this little jewel of a book.

Grief is hard; we all know that. I‘m adjusting to suddenly having so much time on my hands. I had limited downtime, especially with the extensive caregiving needs the last 2 weeks of December. ⬇️⬇️

Right. After all the Christmas and New Year's shenanigans, let's go back to the important stuff 😜

Here is my first #bookspinbingo board for 2026! I have a busy month so my TBR is set up for lots of mood reading.
#bookspin pick: The Haunting of Payne‘s Hollow by Kelly Armstrong (already done!)
#doublespin pick: The Devils by Joe Abercrombie - I‘ve had this on 3 months of TBR‘s so let‘s see if I finally get to it…

A delightful classic epistolary novel about an orphan with a mysterious benefactor who pays for her to go to college. It feels so much like the Anne of Green Gables series and Emma M. Lion. It‘s a lovely treat. I do wish her nickname for him was something else, the constant “daddy” mentions feel creepy. 🤣 The main character‘s determination and moral fiber, not to mention her sense of humor, is so much fun!
