“He smelled like the sky. He smelled the way air felt as it rushed around you, freeing and terrifying and the most beautiful f*!%&$@ thing you‘ve ever experienced.”

This book y‘all… 🖤🖤🖤 and I‘m not a fan of romance! Am I? 🫣

ChaoticMissAdventures What does the sky smell like?? LoL never in my life. What kinda sky Carrisa? Stormy? Blue? Snowy? Do they smell different, I think we need more adjectives. 2d

This is my gorgeous daughter Breanne and her recently adopted sweet Amelia. As many of you know she has been trying to get pregnant for over 2 years unsuccessfully. On top of that they lost their beloved dog Squinty a couple of weeks ago and she lost her Pop, my daddy 💔 she has been devastated… but has found a little sunshine in Amelia. Please send her/us some positive vibes and prayers 🙏🏻

Bookish pet peeve! This is why I don‘t like paperbacks! I hate that the cover stands up like this! I know it‘s petty but 🤷🏻‍♀️

What are your bookish pet peeves?!

#LitsyLove

ImperfectCJ The cover that doesn't close is awful! My pet peeve is poor paper quality that's rough on my fingers. I'm apparently very sensitive. :-) 1w
ChaoticMissAdventures Yes! So annoying. I am constantly putting heavy things on it. My biggest pet peeve is stickers (real and fake) on the cover. I don't care what celebrity bookclub this is a pick for I want to just see the full cover! 1w
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @ChaoticMissAdventures yes!! I hate those stickers! I bought two books at Barnes and Noble that are special editions with those stickers 😩😩 1w
See All 10 Comments
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @ImperfectCJ my other pet peeves are long chapters and tiny print! I am so needy!! 😳🤦🏻‍♀️ 1w
lil1inblue Have you ever gotten a book with a bad spine or binding? I had one that just fell apart as I read it. By the end of the book, it was in like 8 separated sections. It was the worst. 1w
DogMomIrene Pop up covers are super annoying. I‘m also with @ChaoticMissAdventures - stickers are the worst, especially if they don‘t peel off easily and leave residue. I‘m not a fan of cleaning that gunk. 1w
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @DogMomIrene me either!!! So annoying! The people putting them on there must not really love books! 1w
Eggs Cover stickers are cheap and hostile. Also in dual timelines, I hate when they‘re not clearly delineated, especially in audiobooks. 😜 1w

Happy December! I‘m doing something a little different this year. I‘m going to mail out boxes with random books in them for Christmas! If you receive one and don‘t like the books or already have them just pass them along! I boxed some of these books up a while ago so some of them won‘t have Christmas happies inside! My husband is giving me random numbers that will correlate with your number on the list! I‘ll tag you as I mail them 🎈🎄📚

I‘ve never felt grief like this… I can‘t find joy in anything right now 💔

Tamra 😔 1mo
TEArificbooks You don‘t have to right now. Feel your emotions. The problem is life just happens even when your world stopped. One day life will creep back in and you will let it in again. You will laugh then cry because you are laughing. Grief is your love enduring. Your love will never go away. The best advice I was given was to do one small thing a day to make me feel better or at least normal. Maintain routine or hobbies, or treat yourself to dessert etc. 1mo

November is proving to be a difficult month. We had to make the decision yesterday for my Dad to be a dnr (do not resuscitate) His lungs are shot from years and years of smoking. 💔 If you smoke please stop!! He is being moved to a medical floor so that family can be with him more. His wife is being difficult on top of everything 😫

Thank y‘all for your kind messages, thoughts, and prayers 🙏🏻

Next question for the giveaway… 🎁📚🎉🎈

Which books have been 5 star reads for you this year?? I‘m really stingy with stars and I‘ve only had 3 I think 🤔 this year!

#LitsyLove

ImperfectCJ I'm stingy with stars, too! My 5-star reads this year were James (Percival Everett), The Push (Ashley Audrain), and Wellness (Nathan Hill). 2mo
wordslinger42 House of Many Ways and The Wind in the Willows were a couple for me! 2mo
Jjaxn95 The Collected Regrets of Clover and Paris Hilton‘s self titled memoir were my 5 star reads this year 🌟 2mo
See All 13 Comments
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jjaxn95 I loved both of those!! 2mo
curiouserandcurioser @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Charlie Bone series, The Divide Series, The Wonderling:) 2mo
Princess-Kingofkings I am too generous with my ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. As I look back over my Goodreads list, nothing compares to Kristi McLelland's writing & teaching style. In Historical Fiction, Madeline Martin earned those stars with The Booklover's Library. Maybe, I'll need to reconsider my star guidelines. 2mo
jdiehr Margo's Got Money Troubles and The Wedding People - both happen to be Book of the Month books 📚 2mo
Deblovestoread I think I‘m fairly stingy with stars but have had 13 this year so far. 4 were rereads. These are the new to me. Nonfiction: Poverty, by America; Finding Me; The Kingdom, The Power and the Glory; Why Be Happy When You Can Be Normal. Fiction: Brotherless Night; Zorrie; In Defence of the Act; All the Sinners Bleed and A Forty Year Kiss. 2mo
dabbe My 5-star reads this year are DARK FIRE (reread), THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES (reread), A STUDY IN SCARLET (reread), THE COMPLETE PEANUTS: 1950-1952 (reread), and BABEL.

4/5 of these books are rereads! 😂
2mo
Gissy Brotherless Night; Elena Sabe (Elena Knows); Shell Seekers and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, 4 books with 5 stars so far😃 1mo
TheBookHippie I‘m just starting to make my list 😅 from my notes… 1mo
