Welcome to Litsy!

I colored this picture and wrote this story about it.

I first joined Litsy because I just didn't feel much community on Goodreads or Storybook. Here? Community GALORE! And who knew that we all loved swaps and exchanging bookish gifts? 🤩 Littens, here's to ending this year with love and hope in 2026. 🕯️🌎🕯️

And special thanks to the Littens below for the extra holiday love. 💙🤍🩵

More books for tiny tots!

My nephews, 2 & 4, are getting (mostly) bug books. If I can‘t fully conquer my own fear, I can at least inoculate the next generation. 😅

Books are being paired with some Lakeshore Learning toys, including an updated version of one of those old school viewmasters! They can click between 35 different photos of insects and spiders. 🕷️🐛🦋

Currently devouring Bob Shea's picture books, amd went for the seasonally appropriate next. Dinosaur is definitely meant for very young readers given the simplicity of the narrative, and Shea's colourful palette is somewhat restricted by sticking primarily to a red and green motif, but I love the switch between snarly face and truly adorable expressions, and there's something inspiring in the 'roar about it but get shit done' tackling of to-dos.

Such nostalgia for the time when my height dictated the ornament distribution on the tree. ☺️

A wonderfully unique Christmas picture book. Perfect for all ages. The monsters are getting the house and everything ready for Santa Claws. It's a frightfully good time! Illustrations are wicked good and I just love everything about this book.

Okay friends, I've created another Canva document, this one with bonus #ISpyBingo boards!! These boards each have a theme and are 4x4. These are “optional“ boards (as opposed to the monthly boards, which of course are REQUIRED OR ELSE 😂) I will post the link, and I'm also going to go ahead and upload each board onto Litsy next, but I am not going to tag everyone on every board - you can just look and see them at your leisure. I managed to come ⬇

#LittensLoveRomance Ho ho ho! It‘s time to vote for our December holiday read 🎄 https://forms.gle/1PjK2KDSx6ibDyVx7 thanks for everyone‘s fabulous participation over this last year! Looking forward to 2026 and more romantic reads.

I managed to catch it on the nose! There‘s something so satisfying about that.

Thanks to all you Littens who make this the best place on the internet, my haven when other social media feels so bleak and miserable. I‘ve been happy to be here the better part of the past decade.
