@Mitch a package arrived from across the pond 💛🎉💛🎉 I‘m guessing it‘s for my bday??? Thank you for always remembering and thinking of me! I‘m giving to my mom to put away until the day 💛

i am cautiously optimistic about 2 things- my HrT is working since i finished a book and started another- thanks to #hyggehourreadathpn. 2 that Kamala will be our next president 🎉🎉🎉🎉 This series continues to entertain- not perfect but just right. I enjoy the mystery although there are actions in the book that can be redundant.

A fawn visiting at the fence! Also my #staycationswap package arrived @BethM

my fun goodies and current book to read in my #cbbc package thanks to @MommyOfTwo

Hi friends- i am reading this series and have finished three books this month- with #hyggehourreadathon a huge part of making that possible. I love this series so much! Fun family, and not too complex plots, there‘s a couple of tiny annoyances (i don‘t need to know that her dogs do their business in every chapter, but clearly the author attends to details) and the MC is writing a book- so two mysteries in each book.

Sundays feel like they are too fast, and i love this hour of slow (depending on the book - some can induce adrenaline) Looking forward to seeing your space no matter when you join us for #hyggehourreadathon

#cbbc is in the mail @Pageturner1 - So glad to to have our group together again 💛💛💛💛

@dabbe has posted the #tlt - I am not a huge movie watcher but I did love Hamilton, Top Gun and a few others. here is the link for the survey if you want to join in: https://www.listchallenges.com/litsy-movies-to-watch-this-4th-of-july-weekend

thank you Stacey for my perfect Litha Sabbat box 💛 I love the cards and goddess so much!! I know book says it can be a stand alone but i went ahead and added book one from my kindle unlimited 💛💛💛 Sending you love during this Summer season. #travelingstars2024

My second package is here!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 @Lesliereadsalot

It‘s Sunday and Summer Solstice Season we are having a heat wave…. my fire sign is recognizing that too much fire requires some water and cooling so perhaps today will include time in water before reading. How are all of you making space for comfort? any particular books to recommend this season? #naturalitsy #midsummersolice

It took me a few months to finish on audio- but I finished it yesterday. I have to admit i was also reluctant to read it but my daughter wanted to be able to talk about it with me- of course I was going to- and it was very well done- although It drives me crazy that Suzanne Collins uses a lot of ambiguity at times- Lucy Grey???? (then ending of Gregor the Overlander)- The world through Snows eyes and experiences def enriched it all for me.

@julieclair Thank you my friend!!! i have wanted the pollinator cups for a long time! and the soap seems like fun!! and of course pretty garden tools…. I love the books! thank you so much! #summersolsticeswap #litsolace

@Lesliereadsalot my package is here- the wait will be long but full of anticipation 🎉💛🎉 #staycationintimeswap

Happy #hyggehourreadathon day!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I have a stack of books and plan to read for several hours tonight after yard work ❤️

I‘m so excited for our #staycationintime24 to begin!
@DinoMom will be sending out matches over the next 24 hours- if you comment hear AND respond to email to let us know you received your match that would be great! Any questions or concerns pleases email asap!

#hyggehourreadathon I spent most of the day on the couch not feeling well- and sweet Saoirse was next to me for most of it. The view out of my window has been a lot of birds i need to identify and yellow yarrow and a late blooming yellow Iris. I‘m sharing my new cozy seating area- i did not use it tonight but i hope to this Summer- on the left is the simple set up, on the right the view. The book was a perfect cozy mystery! Highly recommend.

Wishing you all an hour of delightful reading! Can‘t wait to see your posts! #hyggehourreadathon

I‘m excited and hopeful to read both of these low key buddy reads for #midsummersolace Everyone is welcome to join in ☀️☀️☀️☀️

My therapy homework is recognizing moments of Joy- and this post is perfect: 1. an amazing breathework session 2. Coffee from la Gazelle 3. a letter from @Mitch 4. Aoife 5. my false indigo is so pretty
And i‘m not gonna lie I am joyful that our Judicial system did an amazing job and a criminal was convicted .

I enjoy this cozy mystery series around a grilled cheese shop. This newest installment has a little more of the friendships, a little more of the romance, and a favorite character may be leaving the series.

I wanted this to be a book i loved- A witch with ability to sense and communicate with animals, an enemies to lovers trope but the angst and poor decisions of the main character really irritated me quite a bit.

A few more days to sign up!

Summer is on the way! To celebrate the Summer Solstice - with a theme of what Summer means to you-
Be creative- favorite picnic menu or recipe, favorite flowers, your garden, your favorite Summer reads or reading now, Summer activities.Mail out cards so they arrive by the Solstice June 20.

This is 26th in the series and i loved it. They are cozy and formulaic. They are not as intense as the first few in the series- definitely growing more cozy in some ways. I love that the author includes NYC history and this book centered around patent medicine and muckraking.

Not only did Lynn send me a box of bottles (that i will be using to make all kinds of concoctions including insect repellent that hopefully works on ticks) But it included some very fun goodies!!! Thank you my friend so much!!! Also i can make some for you!

Just finished this #naturalitsy buddy read from April- and I loved it. It was a slow savor through the months. I appreciated the authors battle with depression and the way nature could alleviate the symptoms. I also see nature as healing, although some days are a physical struggle- and was reminded that sometimes it takes work and effort and will be hard initially but in the end will pay off with wonder and perhaps serenity. #litsolace

Today‘s the day!! I rarely feel like my pictures are cozy and sweet these days- but my yard is getting ready and then i will feel cozy outside again!!! Can‘t wait to see the #hyggehourreadathon from everyone who joins!

Thank you @kspenmoll for putting this book on my radar! I started reading it as library borrow then bought it BECAUSE it‘s so sweet, romantsy, nature and family and sort of cozy ish - Plants, magic, what else can i say???

My #indiebookstoreday purchases- my sons 2 books missing from picture because although he swore he had to study for calculus while home this weekend he grabbed them and disappeared. (even left his gf studying for her finals at the table!!)

This was a pick for me!!! Although I stink at keeping up with anything I was determined to read this #janeadjacent #pemberlittens selection- and I‘m so glad I did. I really enjoyed the story and will def read the next book.

I will admit- i‘m overwhelmed by astrology, terms, ideas. one thing i liked most about this book was the big focus on New Moon- for beginnings and Full moon for release. I am soothed by cycles and this part did not feel overwhelming with positions and dates and times etc…. I think I would like a copy one day for myself. #travelingstars24

Coming in June signups (June 7)… #Staycationintime Start thinking about WHERE and WHEN you want to travel for your armchair adventure!

1. Extreme Survival: How Peaople, Animals and Plants Live In The Worlds Toughest Places.
2. The Good Life by Scott Nearing
Thanks for the tag @dabbe Anyone else want to play?

Does anyone else love Sarah addison Allen as much as I do? In some ways she gave me sanity….I was feeling stressed and depressed with 2 very young children and saw a copy of Garden Spells - at the grocery store! It was an absolute total splurge for me at that time. But i remember reading it and the escape lightened my mood and gave me a much needed break. Anyone else have a book that really helped you through a hard time?

trying to read but i‘m trapped by a cat 🤷‍♀️

It‘s our #hyggehourreadathon day🌷I‘m hoping to spend some time with Spring cleaning and some Spring planting. (Saoirse is sitting on me at the moment though so i will be delayed getting outside. ) Then resting with a book and tea to end/begin the week. can‘t wait to see all your posts 💛💛💛💛

I‘m still slowly but surely reading this #naturalitsy selection- it feels like being a walker in a marathon tbh but i wanted to share the beautiful bookmark sent to me from @mabell . it suits the book well and i love it so much!

#hyggereadathon #naturalitsy Listened to this book on a long cozy drive to and from NYC with my mom. It was a much easier drive with this book, interspersed with chit chat about the book with my mom.

It‘s Sunday! The day for hygge and reading ❤️❤️❤️ Can‘t wait to see your posts and hope everyone finds rest, relaxation and reading 💛 #hyggehourreadathon #litsolace #naturalitsy
