-7 here in Michigan today, but we‘re warm from the glow of our first playoff win in 32 years! I‘m planning a day of reading and tea. I need to post challenge pics and my bingo card too. Stay warm, MittenLittens, and all who are in the track of blizzards and frigid temps!

TheSpineView Yikes! If a day is in the mid 40s here people think we have moved Antarctica.😅 2mo
MittenGirlPeach @TheSpineView we don‘t get weather like this as often anymore, but it is COLD out there. Our old English sheepdog was like—“yeah, no. Did my business, now let‘s go in Dad!” 2mo

MittenGirlPeach @RamsFan1963 awww, thank you! Now we get to host another game, which is fabulous. Sooo happy for Jared too. 2mo
RamsFan1963 @MittenGirlPeach The Lions will have no problem with the Bucs, so I'm excited to see them play the 49ers (probably) in the NFC Championship game 2mo
MittenGirlPeach @RamsFan1963 🤞! So hope you‘re right! This season has been super stressful. We‘re not used to so much being on the line! 2mo

My #FridayNightShare #MidWinterSolace read. It was a gift in a swap last year from @Chrissyreadit and I saved it for, you, guessed it, winter! I also included some of the goodies from @wanderinglynn that I received in today‘s swap because they didn‘t all fit in the other picture and I forgot the potion! #naturalitsyswap

Oh my, what a haul, @wanderinglynn !!! It must have taken me 10 minutes to open it all! The books are absolutely perfect. I‘m so happy to have them both. Everything is so well chosen: the dried apples, tea, chocolates, and coffee are all favorites. I was thinking earlier this week that I didn‘t have a “winter” mug per se, and just like that, I do. How cool is that! The midwinter wellness potion is great timing, and I love the candle.

MittenGirlPeach A special shoutout to the suncatcher; I can‘t get over how gorgeous it is. Thanks so much for everything! 3mo
wanderinglynn Yay! So glad. The candle was made locally by a kidprenuer – https://smelloflovecandles.com - he‘s adorable. 3mo

MittenGirlPeach @wanderinglynn I so understand! Things happen; don‘t ever worry about it with me. I didn‘t get the one that I shipped posted until Tuesday, and originally the tracking said tomorrow, so I was fretting too! 3mo

Another dreary day in Michigan, but it‘s a new year and, well, I‘m trying to be hopeful. Hopeful and kind are my mantras this year. We both got sick before Christmas, which meant, among other things, that I lost the plot on my #NaturalLitsyWinterSolsticeSwap shopping, but I‘m getting it back! Two items have dropshipped to you, @wanderinglynn , and I‘ll get the rest out today. (The items are coming from Amazon and the ETA is Thursday).

wanderinglynn Hi Anne! Thanks for letting me know. You will receive a shipment from Bookshop.org & I‘ll be mailing the rest today via priority mail. 3mo

Happy Halloween, dear littens! Amelia CatHeart ready for takeoff.

The tagged book is the first published work of Jane, whose editions I collect. I had never read it until this year. It‘s sweet as always, but the end was a surprise to me, given the years and attitudes during which Jane wrote. I shouldn‘t have been surprised though; I fell in love with her independent heroines and themes as a child, and her progressive attitudes. Lovely books.

The candle (reading & rain!), mug, and treats are perfect, and the book choices are splendid. I haven‘t read any of them, and the two not on my list sound particularly delightful. How did I miss The Reader? Can‘t wait to read them all. Thanks again, and what a wonderful swap, @wanderinglynn ! I love Litsy. 🧡 #HHS

What a night last night in Michigan! Hope all mitten littens are doing well. Our back forty is a little messy and we don‘t have power, but we *do* have the big generator running so it‘s all good. I‘m rereading the final Ruth Galloway since I read it in such a state of suspense last week. (Would I like the ending?) And I‘m ready to open my #staycation package tomorrow! It arrived Wednesday, and mine was delivered yesterday.

A Michigan August sunrise pic for your morning. I finished the Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway series last week and now I‘m rereading the final two books because I read them in a state of suspense, afraid of how it would end. But they ended perfectly inmho, and now I‘m going to savor them. The penultimate book is set during the pandemic and it‘s terrific. The mystery, the setting, but most of all the characters. ☕️ and a book for my morning.

AmyG Lovely. I can‘t wait to head back to Michigan in a few weeks. 7mo

I just inhaled, er finished, the ninth Ruth Galloway. Had to stay up; no going to sleep until I was done! It‘s the third Ruth I‘ve read in the last two weeks, messing with my “only read in season” mantra, but WTH. This one was actually set in June for the most part, and it‘s terrific. Bones, tunnels, Harry, Ruth, Judy (I love her character so much), Cathbad (not as much of him this book, to my disappointment), and of course, the new Super. Big 👍

I really loved this book. And I‘m so happy I did. I‘ve read a few books recently that I just couldn‘t get into, and that hurts my reading mojo. Sure, i plod along, but it harshes my reading mellow! But recent weeks have been much better, and this book is a keeper. A fast read, bittersweet and magical, highly recommended.

Pic is of Sir Murray and his cows in our side yard.

Aims42 I hear ya about a reading slump affecting your mojo 🫠 It‘s a great feeling when a book captures your attention and you can get lost in it 🥰 This is a great book too! It was my first by her and after I finished it, I started adding her other titles to my list to read 📚 9mo
MittenGirlPeach @Aims42 it was my first too and I‘m doing the same thing with her other titles! I just inhaled this book. There were surprises and sadness but it never felt depressing. 9mo

Mugs! And since it‘s winter, I‘d like it to be winter themed. I have many mugs but I love them all, and I rotate seasonally.

Blues/greens

An Old English Sheepdog named Murray and a torby cat named Eddy Charcoal. (Eddy is a girl kitty, fyi).

Columbia or breakfast blend coffee (love beans), green and white tea (I love all teas, generally), herbal teas. Love pretty much all kinds of coffee it must be admitted.

Ahhhhh, my #WinterWonderlandSwap! We had company for a long New Year‘s weekend, which was fabulous, but they‘re gone now & we‘re finally getting back to normal. I always get a little melancholy after the holidays, so it was lovely to open this today. You found a velvet headband! The books are perfect, and we too love that brand of K Cups—and I haven‘t had the winter blend before. It‘s a terrific choice! Thanks so much, @Kshakal !

Sunset from two days ago. We‘re back to a grey day today, but on the other hand, I woke up to 52F. Here‘s a lovely and eclectic list I thought I‘d share: https://parnassusmusing.net/2022/12/30/bestsellers-of-2022/ I‘ve finally put Seven Husbands on hold at the library! And Woman of Light and The Candy House and my first Emma Straub (I chose All Adults Here). I also have Other Birds and Shrines of Gaiety on hold. January #BookSpin here I come!
