Happy MLK Day! Thank you Dr.King for being the face of those before you and after you. We do not just celebrate you, but how your work has inspired many and how you been inspired from the people that have come before you. Today we honor not just you but the unnamed folks that continue the fight for equality and justice for all people.

Happy Nee Years. I will be in bed when the ball drops lol - I finished my goodreads reading goal. I preordered 10 books next year, so little random b&n packages will be coming through out the year. Lol I am going to cut down my TBR hopefully.

5 joys Friday :

1. Christmas 🎄- felt like I needed this day to get here, but hate to know that we are a week from 2025
2. Boozie Eggnog!! This was great Christmas Eve!!
3. Cinnamon Vanilla Waffles with fresh berries/EggNog whip and Canadian bacon 🥰 - that egg nog whip is amazing (no syrup )
4. These dogs annoyed about wearing Christmas outfits
5. Reflection of me at Fogo de Chao because I did not have to cook dinner

Happy Hanukkah to all that celebrate 🖤

To all that celebrate 🖤 Happy Kwanzaa

Merry Christmas from Buddha & Chloe Okoye - they are over being in sweaters and sequin dress lol 😂

Thank you to Daisey & Caitlin 🖤 I love the books and the yummy chocolate. Thank you Michelle for hosting the Jolabokaflod. Happy holidays - not sure what hot drink or maybe cold drink. Small hot coca bar or caramel apple cider spice or boozy eggnog. Whatever it is, do not disturb I am reading.

I forgot to mention - there maybe in spice in a few of them. Levels of spice 🤭 unknown, except for the very short read Christmas Secret from Peyton Banks I would give it spicy level 3 out of 5.

Hey everyone it‘s Buddha - few announcements - #Jolabokaflod boxes have been in the mail @Marmie7 & @LMJenkins & @MaleficentBookDragon - also all the holiday cards are being sent out today, for the holiday card swap. We have been busy over here 🖤. Now I am going back to sleep 💤, before Chloe Okoye ask me to play.

This how I like to relax sometimes!! I like to click and read while having a snack. Kindle holder was a gift from my kiddo and gotta love some Garrett‘s mix popcorn. I am ready to relax and read.

Just wanted to show off my pages for my shop. Blind Book Date Boxes. I have to admit this sparked from when I ordered a few boxes and was fully satisfied, so why not create them? I have been saying, “ instead of swiping right -Go on a date that you will love to tell your friends about. “ lol
Instagram & Threads account listed for the blind book dates.
#smallbusiness #blindbookdate #blindbook #etsy #quillsandteacups

This book right here!!!! I got this book as a gift. I am not a huge Nanny troupe person, but this was worth reading.

My week has been complicated. Here are the five little wins this week:
1. Opened up my Etsy shop with blind book dates - working on the rebrand and getting the word out
2. Loving stickers on Kindle cover
3. Chloe Okoye being a weirdo and making me laugh
4. My son got a honey citrus mint tea for my cough

@DebinHawaii
5. D&D Lego I bit this week

Having this bad dry cough for 8 weeks now, decided to tap into Mother Nature. Sometimes herbal is the way to go. Wish me luck.
1/4 cup of honey
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp tumeric - I used the soft caps that can allow you to open and placed in drinks or food.
Stir and put in a dry@place.

I made it yesterday, let‘s see if it better than various meds.

Free books for your kindle — has a mix of different genres. Most of the books are free, I only found a few with hiccups with Amazon. Some of them have other platforms you can use too. A few I had to download then put in my kindle or other device.

I hate to take down the decor!! We just did little window clings and they were adorable. Just wanted to share before I take them down.

#posthalloween #decor #gothic

This was a fun little read. I have been in a slump and enjoyed the short stories in the beginning, but the second half was chapter 1 teases which I am considering to@add to my tbr. 3.5/5 definitely a monster girlies read.

Thank you @BookwormAHN for books!! I am excited to start on the a new adventure. The 3D card was super cute. Chloe Okoye freaked out the first time hearing it, but 2 sniffs later she was fine. The snickers are not photographed because I have a teenager who wants to split them because I do not need all that sugar alone, he is helping me. Lol thank for everything 🥰

Late Halloween pics of Chloe Okoye — poor Buddha was no up for my nonsense. I figured y‘all would get a little chuckle from her first Halloween with us. She was not in the mood for my antics either. She was wondering why do we have so many outfits. #spookyseason

Chloe Okoye says mom has been sick for a while and is finally feeling a little better. She has been semi resting with me and Buddha. Litsy Mail is behind but letters are being mailed out this week. @MaleficentBookDragon I have sent my swap to @Gissy she should get it by Saturday. Sorry for the delay. I also received my box, thanks @BookwormAHN

I opened sign-ups early.
So this is my first time hosting a swap, be patient with me. Shout out to everyone who hosted one and gave me inspiration for this one. This swap is all about Dark Desires and Spicy Books. Fall is coming around, the best time to enjoy a morally grey lover or monster. Opening Date is 10/27.

Happy Friday!!
My Five Joys
1. My old man and hell hound hanging out (Buddha & Chloe Okoye)
2. My guilty pleasure: little Caesar cheesy bread
3. Megan thee Stallion & RM(BTS) new song on repeat for me on Spotify
4. Just found out there are limited edition Apple Spice Bundt cakes
5. Enjoyed a nice cup of hibiscus tea

Let me introduce our newest family member ❤️
Chloe Okoye aka hellhound aka crazy bone aka no no aka don‘t sit on Buddha.
She is a little over a year old, shelter/ rescue adoption, min pin/dachshund mix we think. Pure attitude! She has already made a jail break from her kennel a couple times. One time she opened up Buddha‘s. They were on the run in the house . She & Buddha are good. Mostly because Buddha is an old man. 😆

Happy #litsylovesummerswap
@jdiehr you are the best! Yes, we were of the same mind set for socks!! The pencil is super cute because I love both. Nothing like a book fan for summertime reading. I am excited for the books you sent. #llss #booknerd

Heard from a few folks that I know in England and my heart is breaking for them. It is a scary time for many people of color there. No one should have to be scared to go work, school, place of worship, or the grocery store. Hope all the UK Littens and their families are safe. Prayers sent your way. #ukriots

#tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude
I love this song. It on my Spotify playlist. Does anyone remember this song?

A little humor for my #llss swap. I mailed it, I was running late, but the box will get there by Friday. @Deblovestoread I have received my box and I apologize for the delay. Life taken a turn over in my neck the woods, please enjoy the the meme, I wish my mail looked this. #mailman #llss

Why do we have 2 pup cups? Buddha love his pup cup but enough to get seconds.

New family member loading ……

Welp I am not going to finish my goal for my bday month. I am a little sad but I am hoping next year I will be on beach reading to my heart‘s bliss. But i have some good books to read in August. Wish me luck I need to get out of my reading slump.
