Welcome to Litsy!

And now for a vintage children‘s story (about seven sisters suddenly thrust into boarding school when their governess has the audacity to marry).

I‘m pairing it with a bit of jasmine tea in the pretty cup and saucer that @ShelleyBooksie sent to me for the #FallingForFallSwap. 😘😘

I have been somewhat MIA around here the last few days so I am very late posting my #FallingForFallSwap - and it was AMAZING!! @quietjenn you completely spoiled me - thank you SO MUCH. I'm excited about literally everything here. Also please ignore the fact that the Reese's are already opened because obviously I have no self-control 😂

I loved the premise of the book, but it ultimately fell a little short of my expectations.

My main issue with the book is the pacing. It is very slow. Getting through the first half of the book was a struggle. Once I was about halfway through, the pace (luckily) picked up.

Oof, totally missed the opening day for #fallingforfallswap
Thank you @BethM - Work is a b**** lately, so comfy socks, tasty tea and a cozy read sounds excellent! The sci fi book sounds cool, too. #fffs

@Deblovestoread sorry this didn't get posted yesterday, but I love this all. I almost checked out Love and Gelato from the library last weekend.
My students loves the unboxing and even playing with the bubble wrap.
I feel very spoiled and loved.

@Gissy first I hope you and your family are ok. Second OMG everything is perfect! You really do need to read the Akata books they are so good and the first two were a fun read. Thank you so much for everything. I can‘t wait to try the coffee!

Thank you so much @tdrosebud for my #FallingForFallSwap box! I literally love everything! Those books have been on my TBR for so long I‘m having trouble deciding which one I want to read first! I have to say I‘m going crazy over this booksleeve - it‘s so pretty! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Fall is off to a great start now. 🎃 🍁 @Avanders #FFFS

Life has been running at an insane pace the last few weeks, coupled with the start of constant cold season from daycare. It was so nice to come home to my #fffs swap! @catiewithac I think you‘re my sender?

I adore everything thank you so much! I‘ll be in IN next week for work and was planning a stop at the gummy bear store! I didn‘t know it existed!

Thanks to the incomparable @Avanders for organizing! #fallingforfallswap

Eeeek!! I am SO excited about my #FallingForFallSwap box, thank you @rsteve388!! These are the perfect books that I‘ve had my eye on!! I‘m going to make some of the coffee in the morning before my meeting, the bookmark and magnet are awesome, and I‘ve never seen page pointers before but I love them already! Litsy friends find the coolest gadgets! Thank you for sharing a bit of Denver with the comfy socks that I will wear tonight! 💃🏽 #FFFS
