Welcome to Litsy!

We saw road signs for a Danish windmill in the middle of Iowa on our way to see John Green. What was supposed to be a quick detour for it turned into about an hour of book shopping, touring the grounds, looking at trinkets, and an impromptu mead tasting with two old ladies who sold me some Viking Blod to sip while I read my new book of Nordic folk tales tonight. 🤍

Amelia warming my lap while I skip yoga to finish this book. It‘s not moving that fast and yet it‘s compelling? I don‘t know why I‘m so hooked 🤷‍♀️

Happy Friday, everyone! Let‘s get ready to REEEEEEAAAAADDD!!!! 🤓🤓🤓

I found this article fascinating. I'm really getting into runes. I'd love to get crafty and make my own.

Do you use them?

Book 1 in the Dr. Evan Wilding series. I read several reviews that thought this was too detailed and sort of a Dan Brown-like serial killer thriller, but it worked for me. I loved all of the info on runes, Vikings, and bog bodies. (Bog bodies are so interesting!) I thought I had the killer figured out and I was wrong. The second book is on my sooner rather later TBR. #SeriesLove2023

Starting this one today…

Did well on our free community Facebook group today. It was started during covid when everyone was cleaning out but had nowhere to get rid of the stuff so a lady started a pg for advertising the junk you wanted to dispose of. You put it out the front of your 🏡 & people would come by & find their treasure in your 🗑. Not only did I get 2 bags of designer clothes (some with 🏷) today but I also got this eclectic mix. I hope my niece likes the 📚

These deserve their own post as they are truly amazing and now used every morning.
Thank you @jenniferw88 😊

#OminousOctober Day 18: #Enchanting (oracular, really, more like in more ways than one. Bought this at the biennial library warehouse sale of the International Youth Library in Munich back in 2016 or 2017, I think. It is only now that I am “learning” its many enchantments/divinities. I think I got this entire thing for 2 euros.
