Welcome to Litsy!

On my recent trip, I stayed at a friend‘s cousin‘s apartment—and I immediately told my friend that her cousin has great taste in books! This is just a sampling of the shelves—including Madeleine L‘Engle, Ursula K. LeGuin, N.K. Jemisin, Barbara Kingsolver, Mary Oliver, Louise Gluck, John Steinbeck… and so many more! It was a delight to see such a collection of friendly faces on someone else‘s shelves.

I just reminded I have these two books about birds, both in catalan... on my #tbr session!

“dreams to share with everyone”
I‘m not really the type to rhapsodize my job, but this is nice!
The book is cute, though it loses me a bit when it gets into writing, but then I‘m not a writer.

Bath & Body Works has a bookish candle called Book Loft! I didnt light it yet, but it smells amazing in the jar! Their description of the scent says:
What it smells like: cozying up with a book you can't put down.
Fragrances notes: crisp bergamot, neroli and cozy woods.

Here‘s my #bookspin list. I‘m finding setting it up like this vs actual titles works better for me since I‘m such a mood reader! Looking forward to a new year of reading!!📚📖 @TheAromaofBooks

I‘m planning on doing 24 bookish adventures for 2024! I‘d love to have you join me. All the details here: https://charityrau.wordpress.com/2024/01/02/24-bookish-adventures-in-2024/ #24bookishadventuresin24 #readingchallenge

Oh @JamieArc - thank you for this incredibly thoughtful and lovely gift!! I wish the picture did it more justice (stuck in my gift-wrapping cave, which explains both the lighting and the lateness!), but the paper and card were so special and the book is just perfection. And local mint chocolates 😍, and I gasped when I saw the caramels, which appear to be from a shop in the small-town WI area where I grew up! 😮🥰 Merry Christmas!! ❤️

My wife got me new bookshelves as an early birthday present!😁🤓📚

8-31-23: My new local library. Well, not new, I‘m returning to it after 11 years of being away. Unlike Orange County Library System in Florida, they don‘t deliver to your door in the pretty blue bags I‘ve become accustomed to. I‘ll miss that but now I get to walk to my library whenever I want so it‘s still a win. 📚📖💖
