And thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting one of my fave swaps!! #AllHallowsReadSwap #AHRS
Received my #AllHallowsReadSwap #AHRS package this weekend!! My clever secret sender put *my name* in the from area, so I don‘t know who it‘s from!!🥸🥸
Also super geeked to receive these two stunning books (though journal/planner is not the same kind, they are still books 😉) from Papier. Weird angles to show the gold embellishments. 😍😍
Welp, didn‘t take a picture of my #AllHallowsReadSwap #AHRS package, but I was able to pick up my #BookoftheMonth #BOTM package at the same time, so here‘s a pic of that! So excited for this book… 👏🏽👏🏽
All Hallows Read package headed to the Midwest…. 🤔🤔🤔😉
@MaleficentBookDragon
😍🥰😍🥰😍 You completely spoiled me @MommyOfTwo !! Thank you soo much for everything!! The scarf is soo pretty and soft & I 💗 that it‘s homemade! The snacks are all yummy & keto 🥹 (and buggy very much appreciated the pez 😁); 4 perfect fall flavors from one of my fave coffee cos; the stickies, stickers, bookmarks, pen, and socks are all perfect fall additions, and I can‘t wait to read the books — w and without bugs 😉 Thank you!!!
♥️🍁🧡🍂💛
My sister bought some fun little Halloween decos to help us settle into the new place…. And I‘ve rearranged my four shelves a little. 😅 Also, we managed to invent space in this place and will be bringing 2 of my favorite bookshelves over! A little breathing room for my books. 🥹🥰
I‘m so happy it‘s fall. 🧡🍁🤎🍂🧡
Received my #FallingForFallSwap #FFFS package!! Yay!! Can‘t wait until Oct 1!
🧡🎃🖤🦇♥️🩸🧡🍁💜🔮💚👻🧡
In other news…. We can fit 2 bookshelves in our new place!! 💃🏽💃🏽
Welp. We did it. Moved, severely downsized. These, folks, are the *only* books I can fit in the new place (not counting 1 shelf of his, and 1 bookshelf in bugga‘s closet with all of his, of course ;)). Now I just need to rearrange and make decisions about which ones go in front since I clearly overestimated the space 😯
Nonetheless… still acquiring more? 🫣🫣 Anyone read this one?
Also, sooo happy fall is here 🍂🍁🧡♥️💛🍁🍂
Someone posted this on Fb and I thought…. I know where this belongs. 😏🔮🧙🏽♀️
And @LibrarianRyan ‘s!!

I‘ve been ooper busy… but inquiries have been made re #FallingForFallSwap 2023. So here‘re my questions for you!
1) Interested?
2) If I made it extra simple, still interested? (Ie a 1- or 2- size fits all, w/o all the options)
3) Would someone want to be the part-2 co-host? Ie I am happy to do front end stuff - setting up the swap, form, & matches, but would someone want to do checking in & follow up? With my move on the horizon, I‘d need it…
Whaaaaa… I‘m reading! The tagged is great - listening on audio. Also trying to read Demon Copperhead. “Trying” a commentary on my own focus, not on the book.
And I ordered some #BOTM #BookoftheMonth books this month! 😯 It‘s been a while.
On a partial vacay for a few weeks… road trip galore!
Impending move still… impending. Likely Sept or Oct. I may need to join a swap… using someone else‘s address! 🥹
Hope you‘re all doing well!!
♥️♥️♥️
Chrissy!!!! Thank you so much!! I have been so unacceptably busy & crazy, & *such* a bum about Litsy & being in touch (even posting this dayzz after I rec‘d this!), & I appreciate SO MUCH this incredibly thoughtful, loving, & generous birthday gift!! Thank you for thinking of me & sending such fun & wonderful gifts! I love absolutely all of it! (sorry you can‘t see the candies - they were already in my belly when I took the pic 🫣)
💖💝💘💖💝💘💖
@LibrarianRyan What a super fun surprise!! Er, should have been an un-surprise, but my brain is all mush lately, so it was a surprise. This book looks soooooooo good!!! (Delicious Monsters) And I‘m posting it alongside the one you sent from my wishlist. Thank you for your always-thoughtful and incredibly kind generosity — and Happiest of (un) Birthdays!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Life: chaos.
Started a new job last Monday! It was a crazy week, but I‘m excited for the job! 😄 That‘s one of the many things life has thrown at me recently, thus my being nearly MIA here. Hope everyone is well!!
Reading the tagged… And we picked Case Study for this month‘s #RealLifeBookGroup - looks interesting! Has anyone read it?
Happy almost Valentine‘s Day everyone! 💘💘💘
So sorry for such a long delay — I did *not* forget!! I just have been crazy busy 🤪🤪
I picked 4 names - you‘ll each receive a book, specially plucked from your wishlist, directly from the seller ☺️ Please email me at Leathy18 at gmail with your address. 🤗♥️
THANKS TO ALL for celebrating with me!
🎆🎇🎆🎇🎆
Oooh 🤩🤩 Thank you @Jjaxn95 for this wonderful and wonderfully wintry #Winterwonderlandswap package!! 💙🤍
I‘m so excited for the books, the socks are perfectly cozy, the candle smells amaaaazing, the treats sound delish, and those pens!!! I love both the colors and that they‘re scented!! Thank you!!

#Bestof2022
I started the year at a good rip, met my Goodreads goal, then hit a brick wall in my brain… I still managed to have some favorites. 🤩🤩
Here are my top 12 picks (favorite reads) for 2022. I‘ve noted which ones I ear-read, rather than eye-read. I know in at least 1 instance, it made a difference (Paris!). And yes, a romance novel made the list!
😳🫢🫣
What‘re yours?
Hey look at that!
I‘ve long planned to do a giveaway if/when I reached 100k & here we are!
So let‘s see… by 12/31/22 @ midnight US pacific time, add a comment here saying what your fave book of 2022 was, what you‘re most excited about in 2023, & if your Litsy TBR is a good source for book-picking (if not, what is?). I‘ll use a random-picker & send a book or 2… 😁
If Book depository ships to your country, then you‘re included!
Yay!! 💖💖
All ready for 2023‘s reading journey — these are the ~120 books I can pick from (plus for my #reallifebookgrouo). Not that I can read that many books in a year (yet! Someday my life won‘t be too busy 😜), but it helps to somewhat limit my choices. 😳
As for the rest? Imma have to cullll my books again this next year 😥 bc we‘re moving next year! (Again 😬🫣)
Happy Holidays all!! Hope you‘re staying safe & are finding quiet moments of peace❄️💙🌺
Thank you @magyklyXdelish for this perfect book selection and, what I know you didn‘t know, but are my absolute favorite chocolates!!!!! I‘m originally from Wisconsin, and I miss these! I gasped when I opened the box and saw them ? Happy Jólabókaflód!! ?❄️?

Welp, after years of saying I just don‘t like romance, here I am, breaking a *serious* reading slump with this… to be fair, this one is Rom-*com* … 😬🥸
My attention span issue is getting me into a little bit of trouble… I wasn‘t able to finish Night of the Living Deed before I had to send it on… but I bought it so I can finish it anyway! I *am* enjoying it! And I‘m hoping to finish Wine & Roquefort before I have to send *that* one in… just a couple days!
But I‘m also happily reading the School (horrifying!), and I have the other 2 that I‘m waiting to get back to once my holds come up!
😳😳😳
No pics of pkgs, but various things mailed!
#LMPBC sent! @julieclair @MaleficentBookDragon @Deblovestoread
#BasicWitchSwap sent! @sprainedbrain (2 packages - 1 media, 1 priority)
#AllHallowsReadSwap sent! @MaleficentBookDragon (plus a little something-something for you, Chelle :))
And oh my goodness @sblbooks what a wonderful and wonderfully fall jack…olantern #fffs package!!! The tagged book is stunning, & I‘m so excited to read the other 2 as well! Those bookmarks 😍😍😭😍 —they‘re so fall perfect!! I love the mug you chose - so perfectly fall! The scarf is so lovely, & I can‘t wait to dig into those yummmmy treats!! Thank you!!! 🍁🍂♥️🍁🍂♥️🍁🍂♥️🍁🍂♥️
Ps your wrapping was so beautiful, I had to show that off too!! 😘
Yay!! It‘s #FallingforFallSwap #fffs open day!
