Welcome to Litsy!

Happy Weekend Littens! Unfortunately I won't be around too much as I'm driving to Seattle today to visit a friend for the weekend but I wanted to pop in and say hello. 👋🏻 And I'll do my best to join in on some conversations when I can.

This year I've been using a TBR Jar to try & read books from my own shelves & is the one I picked for February! Have you read it?

#readwhatyouown #mounttbr

Started this book yesterday hoping to read it while snow piled up outside but alas....Reports of a Portland snowpocalypse were greatly exaggerated. We got a dusting at my house. Some other neighborhoods got a bit more. But today it's all sun and shine. Still damn cold though so when Percy almost gets frostbite...girl, I feel you. ☃️❄️

February #readwhatyouown Kindle edition.

A very unhealthy lunch for me today. You only live once. Also it was delicious.

Starting this #truecrime book today too. A little bit out of the box perhaps but I'm using it for my #femaledetective prompt. Also counting it as my Kindle #readwhatyouown for the month! So far it's good--I can't swipe the pages fast enough!

I'm practicing Saturday morning chore avoidance. These kids just found a skull in the backyard. Vacuuming can wait. #setinireland #irishauthor #booked2019 #readwhatyouown

Friday night plans! Make some progress with this one, my #irishauthor and also #setinireland pick for #booked2019. This one also counts toward my #readwhatyouown goal this month.

Yesterday I read the last book in my #yearendclearout library stack!! Book 4/4! Crows is a delightfully subversive fairy tale filled w/wildness, animals, love, betrayals, vengeance, spells, & lyrical language. I read it in 1 day.

Looking forward to 2019 now! I have made a few goals for myself & will be participating in a couple of challenges. I'll share all of that next week. Until then I'll be picking books from my own shelves. #readwhatyouown

Picked this up from Powell's on a whim over the summer. Paulson, dog-sledding, Alaskan wilderness, survival, Man v. Nature v. Self. These are a few of my favorite things. And considering today is the first day of winter, it just feels right to crack this one open now.

I spent all of Sept & Oct reading books from my own shelves. #readwhatyouown

Nov & Dec are all about clearing out my library holds! 3 of these were on pause for the past 2 mos, the other 2 jumped into my arms & walked out w/me. Oops! #sorrynotsorry #librarylove

I'm starting to think about what I want my 2019 reading year to look like & part of that is going to be starting the year with a clean library slate. So here we go! #readwhatyouhold

Here‘s my final number from 11:59 last night for #24b4monday. Not bad, but I‘ll see if I can beat that next time. Tagged book is part of my reread of this series. #readwhatyouown

Started this one last night. Read about 20 pages before I feel asleep. It's my in-person book club's pick for October! Also one that was already in my Kindle so fits for #readwhatyouown. I'm really enjoying it so far. Closing in on 5 hours for #24B4Monday which doesn't seem like very much so far. 🤔 Trying to get another hour or in before I go see a movie with my husband.
