#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending my #HyggeHour with Nancy Drew & the gang for #NancyDrewBR I‘m snacking on Peppermint Pocky & one of my last Hint seasonal Peppermint Bark flavored waters.

Mood is sad tomorrow is Monday & unsure how I am going to make it through a whole week of work. The January blues. 😔

#12Booksof2025 November / Book 11 : surprise twist! This was not my highest rated read of the month (that honor goes to the new WWII historical fantasy A Resistance of Witches) but it has stuck with me enough that I am pursuing research at work related to the information I learned about pigeons in WWII from this author. Inspiration should always be celebrated!
Read with the incomparable @AllDebooks and #NaturaLitsy

We have a #signededition from #GoldsboroBooks that I‘ve been wanting to read for a while, so #naturalitsy 2026 seems like a great reason!

Loss is the tune of our age,hard to miss and hard to bear.Creatures,places and words disappear,day after day, year on year.But there has always been singing in dark times –and wonder is needed now more than ever.‘To enchant‘ means both to make magic and to sing out.So let these spells ring far and wide;speak their words, and seek their art, let the wild world into your eyes, your voice, your heart. #naturalitsy #wintersolace
Loving this book,⬇️

This is a book of spells to be spoken aloud.It tells its stories and sings it songs in paint and word.Here you will find incantations and summoning charms,spells that protect and spells the protest,tongue-twisters, blessings,lullabies,and psalms.Here you might swoop with a swallow, follow a seal through the sea or sky-race with swifts.Here you can listen owl ears and watch with the eyes of an oak.#naturalitsy #beautybreak #wintersolace #endpapers

A new year & a new nonfiction challenge! #Nonfiction2026

Last year we read about people wanting a change, and fighting for it….so this year we are going to take a deep breath and remember what people fight for, the good things, the things we do not want to lose, the old friends & new acquaintances of Auld Lang Syne, our passions & loves, escape the grind & news & “touch grass”.

As always, fill these any way you choose that works for you.

My first hopeful stack of the year!
