Let me reintroduce my shop - Quills and Teacups.
I have a shop on Etsy - that is where you can get different kind of blind book dates and some K-pop & bookish items.
There is the regular store - www.quillsandteacups.com
And TikTok shop - that store is new but has some cute stuff. Each store has its own goodies. Hit the follow button on instagram. Everything but the blind books ships internationally, except TikTok. Instagram has the links.

Since I am the type of person who doesn't gate-keep cool stuff. Let me put you guys on to Booksprout, you can get free books to review on certain platforms like Amazon and Goodreads. The site is easy to navigate for the most part. They have audiobooks and ebooks.

That is the reader's link.

I will mail out this little goody to you on monday. I thought I put it in the box, but it is staring me under my paperwork. I hope you enjoy everything else. look out for it in your mailbox. Happy Swap! i did get your box!! Sorry or the delay. #litsyswap

Buddha will be turning 19 later this month. This old man still gets mini zoomies and loves to cuddle. I can‘t believe he will be 19. Just wanted share a fun little picture of him. He has been my reading buddy for many years. I am thankful for each day I get to have a little longer. Who knew a foster fail 17 years ago, would lead to having the best cuddle bug.

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 🖤

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.

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.
