Loved. Loved. Loved.

I live next to a lake, so I always loved reading Carley Fortunes fun lakeside novels. And this one didn‘t disappoint! I don‘t want to say too much about Charlie, but I really connected with him. He lost both of his parents at a young age due to health reasons, and I also lost my dad to that same thing his Dad died from. So I know exactly how he feels, and his thoughts. I connected with him a lot, and loved Alice!

Guess whose feeling better to read again!? 🙋‍♀️
I‘ve been binge watching BookTube and the new Epic Universe at universal videos. I now want my next vacation at Universal Studios lol 😂

I was so hoping to get some reading done after my surgery, but that‘s definitely not happening for at least a few days. Or at least until my swelling goes down and I don‘t feel like I got hit by a train 🚂 Gilmore Girls binge watching it is then ❤️

When you live next to the lake, Carly Fortune books just give me those summer vibes to a T 🌞

I‘ve heard so many mixed reviews on Reckless and Fearless, but so far I‘m having a good time with this one! I‘m over halfway and the only thing that is truly bothering me is the whole Paedyn and Kai relationship tension. I generally hate books like that and I just want to smack them both and say “just kiss and makeup already!” But, that‘s just me 🤷‍♀️

Long time no see Litsy fam! I go in for septorhinoplasty surgery next week and I‘m hoping to get some reading done during recovery (wishful thinking lol) but has anybody ever had this procedure done before? My nose is collapsed internally and externally and I have a severe deviated septum and can‘t breathe through my nose at all. I‘m so nervous and was wondering is there anybody I can confide in? I‘m finally reading Emily Henry! ☀️🌞

I‘m back on the #botm bandwagon! #itsbeentoolong #feelsgood

Well, better let the cat out of the bag! I haven‘t been posting much on Litsy lately because I‘ve started a business and it‘s been a crazy ride so far! I renovated my downstairs into a kitchen to create homemade candy and sweets 🍭 and we are already having so many people wanting orders! I am also doing book themed candies based off of new and upcoming books, and these are so fun to recreate! I can‘t wait to start reading again once the business⬇️

My sweet little reading buddy tonight 🐾

Happy Valentines Day to all my fellow book lovers ❤️

Going into a middle grade novel after taking a small break from my “not-so-thrilling” thriller I‘m reading 🙃

#forsuchatimeasthis #BookofEsther

One of my favorite books from the Bible ❤️

I first read this about 11 years ago, and didn‘t like it at all and became easily bored. I‘ve matured over the years with my reading and thought I‘d give this series another go. Boy am I glad that I did! I‘m loving this the second time around and I‘m so happy that my love for fantasy has grown as well ⚔️🛡️

Thank you so much for this amazing package @candc320 🎉❤️ I love everything so very much! And I loved the first book of Powerless so I cannot wait to dive into this world again with Reckless! Thanks so much @bookish_wookish for doing this awesome swap! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year ❤️

Happy #jolabokaflod day! Thank you so much for my book (I‘ve been dying to read this 😍) and chocolates! I can‘t wait to start reading and enjoying this lovely tradition later on today. Have a wonderful Christmas to all and happy reading! Thanks so much for hosting @MaleficentBookDragon ❤️
 @Princess-Kingofkings thank you so much for everything ❤️❤️ I love it all!

Shoutout to my husband for these amazing bookends he got me to add on to my library 📚 #notallthosewhowanderarelost #lotr #hobbit

It‘s here! Thank you so much @candc320 and can‘t wait until opening day! ❤️❤️❤️

It‘s here! Can‘t wait to open! Thank you @Princess-Kingofkings

Now the hard part…waiting! ❤️😂

It‘s just occurred to me that I sent out my #jolabokaflodswap package and my #littlechristmasswap package without putting my litsy handle on it 😅

@BarkingMadRead you are my little Christmas swap buddy
@Light_of_Aether you are my jolabokaflod swap buddy

Both packages should be arriving this week since I sent them out last week 🥰❤️

Going out to the post office to drop these lovelies off #jolabokaflodswap #littlechristmasswap

I‘d be lying if I said I didn‘t buy this for the cover. The woman on the front looks like me, so I had to put it in my basket 😂

My favorite booktuber Haley Pham mentioned how much she really liked this book a while back, so I‘m finally digging it off my shelves. I‘m about 100 pages in, and I have no idea why I didn‘t get to it sooner! I love the writing, the pacing, and even though it‘s a tragic and heartbreaking read at times, I know our main character is going to be alright in the end ❤️

Brought some reading on a little getaway to Virginia ❤️ I‘ve heard nothing but praise for this series, so nothing to it but to do it!

Another incredible year at the Renaissance Faire under our belts ⚔️#huzzah

Oh I fell hard for this Phantom of the Opera tale…hard! I wasn‘t expecting to love it as much as I did 😍

I had to drop my mom off at the airport for 3:30 am, so I‘m getting some much needed reading and relaxation time before the rest of my family wakes up ❤️ These last few weeks, I‘ve had no time to myself so this is a blessing 🙏🏻

Its been a minute! It was a super busy start up for the upcoming school year so I haven‘t had that much time to read, post, or scroll! Now that we‘re entering into October soon, I‘m hoping to wind down just a tad bit more with my books and coffee 🍎🎃

Hey guys, I don‘t have Facebook or social media but we are vacationing in Myrtle beach right now and there‘s a hurricane going to hit causing surging and high flood waters. Is anyone here at all too and what are you doing if you are?! We don‘t live here and are vacationing but are a nervous wreck right now. Do we leave, stay?? Anyone else in this boat? Thanks in advance guys and stay safe if you‘re in the path of Debby

I picked this up on a whim at my local B&N, and that cover is certainly what drew me in 🫐 Not to mention, the storyline sounds fantastic and we vacationed on a blueberry farm in Maine a few months back. I‘m saving this read for my upcoming trip to South Carolina, but I might have to crack it open sooner 😝

It‘s that time of the year again! Doing some prepping for the upcoming school year #homeschooling 🍎

I bought this cute pool from Amazon for my kiddo, and I‘m not going to lie, I‘ve been doing some reading/soaking when he goes to bed at night 🤓

A little bit of car reading with my boo 🐾

Okay, I need some help here guys. This is my #bookspin book this month, and did I get a defect from my local bookstore?? It skips from page 234 to 282 and the words are upside down! I take it this isn‘t supposed to happen, and I really wanted to find out who killed Simon 😂

#bookspinbingo this month is a hit! So excited for both of these YA ⭐️

I see what you did there Mr. Sager 😏 I love when an author writes little things about previous books that they wrote. It isn‘t officially summer until I have a Riley Sager book in my hand 📗

My little Primrose in the background all curled up for a night of reading ☺️ I just finished The Canterbury Tales for my #bookspinbingo so I‘m ready to take on a fun romance now 💕

Meet my new dragon Morla! She is my latest edition for my Renaissance faire costume, and will wrap around my neck. She‘s so stinkin cute! 🐉

#bookspin books are a goodie this month! I only read one of my Bookspin books last month, and didn‘t get to the #doublebookspin so I‘m hoping this is a more productive month. It didn‘t help that I was in a bit of a reading slump and only watched BookTube 😆 I‘m addicted to Haley Pham hehe

I scored an awesome deal at the local used bookstore today! The Usborne books I got for my son which were never opened (originally an $80 value) for only $20! And the rest were for myself, priced at $3 each. It‘s always a good day when you find some deals on great books 📚

Have a wonderful and grateful Memorial Day everyone! 🇺🇸 We went to a flag ceremony yesterday, and the shooting of the guns always brings a tear to my eye for those we have lost in war. May we remember them, honor them, and know they are never forgotten. God Bless you all 💕

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Rest and relaxation on this rainy night. Sleep tight everyone

A little Friday night reading 📖 I‘ve never read the entire Narnia series, and so far I‘m enjoying it a lot.🦁

I‘m not 100% sure about this…I loved Lowe and Misery, but the spice was definitely a little weird for me. Loved the storyline, and loved the characters, but the suggestion for a sequel kind of caught me off guard a little. This was still a lot of fun though, like all of Ali‘s books are

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My two #bookspin books are going to be some fun ones! The Narnia book has almost 1,000 pages so if I just read one or two of the books in the series, I‘ll be happy and count that haha 😂

A bubble bath 🛀 kind of day

I‘d be lying if I said I didn‘t buy this book for the cover 🌲🌲☕️☕️📚📚🌲🌲

This book was so much fun! I can‘t wait to continue reading this series and follow the adventure of Taran 🗡️ Thanks again @Chrissyreadit these books are amazing 💛

I wasn‘t ready for the many tears to form in my eyes while reading this. Beautifully heartbreaking, and I believe this is the authors debut novel. I‘ll be looking for more of her in the future.
This was my April #bookspin for this month 🌸

Someone‘s had an exhausting day 🙃 Everyone is in bed, now mama can get some reading time in 📚

Thanks for the giveaway @DebinHawaii and a huge congratulations 🎊🍾🎈🎉
Here are the things that make me happy:
1) My son telling me he loves me and listening to his laugh
2) The call from my husband telling me he is on his way home from work.
3) Books of course, hehe
4)Bookstores and libraries
5) My pups and coffee ☕️
