Earls Trip | Jenny Holiday

1. I often struggle with feeling like I have a purpose, which can fuel my depression. I think I feel the most purposeful when I help people or animals.
2. My husband, my pets, my niece, my art, books, and Litsy of course!
3. Tagged!

Texreader, Eggs

Texreader Not going to lie, that purpose question is hard. I put my kids and my clients, which it turns out is the same answer as yours—helping others. 4mo

KadaGul @Catsandbooks @Texreader The purpose of life isn't set in stone 🪨 or time 🕰️; it is always changing and evolving. So don't overthink 🤔 #YOLO 4mo

Texreader @KadaGul ❤️💙💚💛 4mo

Eggs Thx for joining in❤️ You are purposely alive!! 4mo

Eggs Agree with @KadaGul #LetItBe 4mo

These pictures are from 2018, my most recent overseas trip. My husband was attending a conference in Copenhagen and we decided to take the opportunity for me to tag along and to add on a couple of weeks in Belgium. It was a spur of the moment decision and very financially irresponsible as we were between jobs at the time, but we've never regretted it and even less so over the last 18 month!

Amiable Oh, I loved Copenhagen! And Brussels and Bruges. We didn‘t make it to Ghent or Antwerp on our visit to Belgium—next time! 4y

Cinfhen I love that you took that leap of faith #NoRegrets #YoLo 4y

erzascarletbookgasm These photos are making me want to travel there! ❤️😭 Echoing what @Cinfhen said 👆 4y

rabbitprincess Lovely photos! My family and I were supposed to have gone to Belgium and the Netherlands in fall 2020 — but Covid lockdown happened around when we would have wanted to book everything, so that never happened. Maybe 2022? 4y

TrishB Lovely pics ♥️ we went to Copenhagen for hubby‘s 50th - I think the was probably financially irresponsible too! But we‘re all still here 😁 4y

batsy Brussels is a stunning city. Feel lucky to have been there! Gorgeous photos. 4y

Cathythoughts Gorgeous!! Copenhagen ❤️ I‘m so glad we went to Copenhagen ( me & my girls ) especially as there‘s no travelling now … You guys are great travellers 4y

LeahBergen Gorgeous! 4y

Reggie These are lovely! Good for you and the hubby! 4y

emilyhaldi Sometimes financially irresponsible decisions are necessary!!! And I bet you don‘t regret it 😁 would love to go to Copenhagen and Belgium someday. 4y

Centique Ohhh I‘m so glad you went! And I‘m so glad we bit the bullet and went back to Disneyland in 2018... this is making me ache to travel again! 4y

Megabooks Wonderful photos! It must‘ve been such a fun trip! 4y

CarolynM @Freespirit @TrishB @Cathythoughts I loved Copenhagen, it was a great city to just hang around in (as I did while my husband was conferencing) as well as the sight seeing. I would love to go back and see more of Denmark as well. 4y

CarolynM @Amiable You really must go back to Belgium to catch up with Ghent and Antwerp! The Van Eyck alterpiece in Ghent is breathtaking and Antwerp has all sorts of lovely things (including heaps of beautiful art nouveau buildings) in particular the Plantin-Moretus Museum of printing. 4y

CarolynM @Cinfhen @erzascarletbookgasm @Reggie Seize the opportunities that come your way because you never know when it will be your last opportunity. No regrets at all. 4y

CarolynM @batsy Thank you 😘 We're very lucky. 4y

CarolynM @LeahBergen Thank you😘 4y

CarolynM @emilyhaldi No regrets at all. They're fabulous places to visit. I hope you will get there one day. 4y

CarolynM @Centique Yep, you have to take those opportunities. Hope we can all get back to travelling soon. 4y

CarolynM @Megabooks Thank you😘 It was one of the best trips ever🙂 (edited) 4y

CarolynM @rabbitprincess Thank you 😘 We were planning a trip to The Netherlands last year too☹️ Fingers crossed for all of us for next year. 4y

The Removed: a Novel | Brandon Hobson

I‘m pretty pleased with the #botm selections for January! #booked2021 was the clincher for me on Jane Harper, since it will fulfill the Aussie prompt. The other two just drew me in. I would have added on The Push too if I‘d had room! And then Addie Larue was my BOTY choice. What did everyone else choose?!

Reviewsbylola @Megabooks and @Cinfhen they‘re live!! 4y

Cinfhen Really!???? Look @swishandflick !!!!!! 4y

Cinfhen This will probably be my box too!!! So many good choices 😍 4y

See All 20 Comments

swishandflick Looks like a great box! I was missing my second account for the first time in a while, there were some good ones! I'm fourth in line for Outlawed with my library so I added The Prophets (sounds heavy but good). And for my BOTY I snagged Anxious People, it's the only one I didn't have. Excited to hear what you think about Addie! I loved that book. 4y

Reviewsbylola I have been seriously considering a second account for the first time in a long time!! @swishandflick 4y

bookishcow I chose The Dating Plan for my BOTM choice :) 4y

Cinfhen My box is similar to yours but instead of Survivors I added

Black Buck

Cinfhen Im so glad I rejoined in November 🥰 4y

Cinfhen But it‘s probably going to be months before I see/ get my books 😩we are now in a third country wide lockdown and all flights have been halted 🙄🤬 4y

Reviewsbylola Geez! I‘m thankful @annied got home before the UK went on a major lockdown too but I‘ve got a feeling she may be stuck here for a long time! I really want Black Buck too! Considering a second account. 😬 @Cinfhen 4y

CoffeeK8 I chose two of the same ones, the Jane Harper & the Removed 4y

Megabooks Wait! It wouldn‘t let me do two add ons! 4y

Megabooks I would‘ve gotten aftershocks or the push too!! Now I‘ll have to think about whether I‘ll do a second box!! 4y

Cinfhen I‘m so happy @AnnieD is with you guys 💗as for a second box #YoLo 😘 4y

Reviewsbylola That‘s so weird! It let me do two no issues, even with BOTY. And I saw people on FB saying that January‘s the best month because you can get four books! @Megabooks 4y

Reviewsbylola Me too, although she‘s been her for over a month and I‘ve barely seen her. 😢 @Cinfhen 4y

Megabooks @Reviewsbylola it‘s fine. (I keep telling myself...) I really am running out of space and doing audiobooks doesn‘t take up space and memoirs are generally good audiobooks. Sigh. Order in haste...repent at leisure! 4y

Laughterhp I can‘t wait to see reviews of Outlawed. I didn‘t put it in my box but I‘m interested in it. 4y

Reviewsbylola I‘m obsessed with the cover and the story sounds intriguing. @Laughterhp 4y

Laughterhp The cover is really awesome! 4y

Cinfhen Yikes, yowza, #YOLO Better luck next week 😘 5y

Sace @Cinfhen or week after next.... We're going on a cruise. Surely I can get some reading done then! 5y

Cinfhen Cruise sounds FUN!!!!!! Yay and if you just relax and don‘t read that‘s fine too 5y

Sace @Cinfhen lol. TBH our favorite part of cruising is reading. My husband had me order 6 books for him in preparation! #IMarriedAReader 5y

The Road From Death: School of Rebirth and Reincarnation | Tobias Wade

pick

This was an impulse read found free on Amazon. #yolo. I expected it to be mediocre but it was SO good. Lightly Gaiman or Burton-esque. Life and death are two sides of a coin. After death you become young again and are enrolled in The Mortuary. Over the course of 6 years you're taught how to reincarnate and live again. If you're worthy anyway. With enlightened Orangutans as teachers and demons as servants, nothing is as it seems in the afterlife.

This Is My Library | Adam Bellamy

Yep. This was the sight in front of me as I was working at the Reference Desk this afternoon 🙈. Sign? What sign? 😆 This happens all the time, and now I have photographic PROOF, World! 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #LitsyHumor #LitsyLovesLibraries

Leftcoastzen Sheesh 5y

LibrarianRyan This annoys me, but I also understand if she was asking for help. 5y

LeahBergen Wait... was she yakking away on a photo call here?? 5y

Librarybelle Another perfect example showing people do not read signs. 😂 5y

Donnasmiles JUST NO!! 5y

Branwen That is SO RUDE! 😡 But, yeah, you're right, it happens all the time! Any time my library is closing for a holiday we put up a billion signs saying that we'll be closed on such-and-such date. Inevitably, the day after, we ALWAYS have regulars come in and say they had no idea we would be closed! 🙊 READ THE SIGNS, PEOPLE! 🤣😂 5y

JulietReads Mark Twain once said, "Life is short. Break the rules." #yolo 5y

Susanita Same thing with traffic notices such as the enormous ONE WAY sign at the central branch access road. 5y

Machimaho: I Messed Up and Made the Wrong Person Into a Magical Girl! Vol. 1 | Souryu

I swear I'm reading it for the...uh...story. 🙈

Honestly though...im not much of an ecchi reader and don't normally dip into that type of stuff. This cover caught my eye though and I checked it out. 😇

Its like a cross between One-Punch Man and I Hate Fairyland. Only with more 'fan service'.

It made me chuckle and I already ordered the 2nd volume. 🤷‍♂️

Morr_Books I'll find out if my friend is on Litsy. We took the bus to Abu Dhabi when I visited. Beautiful city! 5y

scripturient Hey, I‘m such a doofus and forgot to send out the #screamsbymail package last week. I‘m worried it might not reach you before your move. Should I rather send it to your new address? Sorry about this!!!! 5y

GatheringBooks @Cinfhen husband is more excited than i am actually. he is super looking forward to it. teenage girl thinks of it as an adventure too, and excited to go back to an international school. overall, fairly positive, which is really great. 🧚🏼‍♀️💕😘 5y

GatheringBooks @Liz_M very true. hence, we are enjoying our days here in california while we still can. 5y

GatheringBooks @BarbaraBB that is indeed what we are looking forward to - the life experience and witnessing/being part of a totally different world. 5y

GatheringBooks @Morr_Books super looking forward to visiting dubai, too! 5y
