Happy #hyggehourreadathonday I am going to work to recoup some calm and energy by spending most of today drinking tea and reading - maybe in chair, maybe in bed, maybe in bath, most likely all three. I am working through another significant life crisis- and will most likely have both a high cost and ultimately some good will come out of it. Reading reminds me that battles are fought, love matters and i can escape to a happy ending. #naturalitsy

Thank you Amy for this #cbbc package!!! I love candles and the Soap from Wisconsin was a perfect choice. I can‘t wait to try the coffee 🧡

I think i will continue re reading The Empyrean and Hunger Games for the foreseeable future because bad ass women who fight insurmountable odds is my mood. Feel free to recommend books in that genre. Please….

Thanks for the tag @Sace

My day is BUSY! I‘m working on having reasonable expectations and not getting/feeling overwhelmed.

Thank you Christine!!! I love your book choices for my #allhallowsread books 🧡

Thank you for this Super Fun #hhs package @JessieKB - I love the socks and headband- too cute- and i think my clients will enjoy seeing me wear the head band! Yummy chocolate and great books 🧡🖤🧡

This was a wild ride! I love character driven stories with solid world building- and my emotions were drawn in- this had some serious sections including violence and complex character development- i continue to be impressed with the series and am so glad im finally reading it!

Book 2 continues with Sophie learning more about the Elves, secret societies, developing found family and figuring out who she is. This MG fantasy continues to be a great read ❤️ I highly recommend for people who enjoy fantasy and are ok with teens as main characters.

Happy #hyggehourreadathon day! I‘m loving this series and read for an hour already but forgot to take a pic of my delicious tea (a smoky blend that is heavenly to me ) but i will be reading again tonight- or possibly an audio book and crochet… can‘t wait to see how you are all doing 🧡

Ashley this was overflowing with generosity!!! Thank you so so much! I love the books you chose- and the Samhain in a box was very well done!! The bag is great! I love it! You are the best 🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡I am so glad we are friends !

@Mitch I saw you had read Moon of the Crusted Snow and wondered if you had read this one? I have it but have not read it yet. Also are you planning to read The Serviceberry?

Wishing you a very happy birthday Amy! Your package should be sent this week- expanding your birthday celebration season! 😘 I hope all your birthday wishes come true!

I have very mixed feelings about this book. I did finish it but parts were just annoying. Parts felt tired. There were a couple characters i was curious about, and a few directions of the story i was also curious about. It‘s a very ppopular fantasy romantasy on goodreads- just not one i love. #hyggehourreadathon

How is it Sunday? Here is where I wish I was 🧡🧡🧡Living today king forward to some cozy reading time tonight after my household chores are done…. Looking forward to our collective space 🍂🍁🧡

My son has been asking me to read these for years…so i finally started- and Really enjoyed this MG fantasy quite a bit more than i expected. The protagonist is a mystery- where did she come from, who is she, what does she know? None of this is actually answered. The found family is complex and I thought the characters were well begun with so much room for growth.

Coffee tawk? yes please! feel free to chat here or on original post- or both! or Start your own thread!

Thank you Gissy !!! I love my birthday surprise package! I love mushrooms and have a perfect spot for the candle- and the adult bookmark!!! YES! I love the books and the cat stickies are purrfect! AND I love our friendship 😘😘😘😘😘

my #hhs package has arrived!

stock photo representing my trip to the post office: #hhs #cbbc #allhallowsread #mws books were mailed separately for #hauntedhollowswap and #modernwitchswap

Happy #hyggehourreadathon day.

#cbbc I mostly enjoyed this book- the setting, main character and mystery were all a win for me. There were a few too many extra characters that i felt spread things out a bit more than i like.
The part i liked most- I was inspired by the book to listen to the Sinead O‘conner version of Molly Malone and like everything she sings it was beautiful and a little heart breaking- but so glad to have listened to it ❤️

my #mws package is here @BookwormAHN 🧡🧡🧡

I only have this one on kindle at the moment- and it was my favorite of all of the books- although i do agree that one of the storyline/plot devices did not make sense to me. It was also a lot more spice than necessary IMHO - but also I loved Nesta‘s story arc. I loved the characters she became close to and seeing the growth in strength and connection.

I love that this book takes place during Solstice!!! And can‘t believe I had no idea- It was a fun quick read into the Night Court and favorite Fae family.

I am so glad these are fast reads- and I‘m reading again- I have this on kindle too so able to just read while waiting. These books really helped with moments of escape from the past few weeks- but most of all i‘m so glad my brain can focus on reading again 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Seriously- this series was a good way to escape while waiting in the ER with my mom two weeks ago, and follow up appts. I really liked the twist in this one- and the descriptions in the book. It was also the right level of spice for me.

I have this book on kindle, IRL and audio- and with my brain fog lifting (thanks to HRT) I decided to reread and see if i still enjoyed it - and I did. I love a Beauty and The Beast type story and really enjoyed the Fae and storyline. It made a huge difference having all three formats available.

Wishing @mabell the happiest of birthdays!!! (check your email for part 1 😘)

Thank you so much for this fun #fffs package Jessi!!! I love my new travel mug and adorable witchy bookmark!!! yummy tea! And great books!

This felt like a box of coziness!! I love it so much Tanya!!! and perfect selections for books!!! I‘m very excited for my new book sleeve and a soft orange blanket🧡- and of course yummy chocolate and coffee! 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁#fffs
Aletheia thank you so much for your host extrodanaire talent and letting me be an occasional help! I‘m so glad we are friends 💛🧡💛

Thank you Amy for my #cbbc package- it came a few days ago but i‘ve been caring for a sick mom so am finally posting! The coffee is delicious!

Rebecca Yarros adding teasers… and my countdown to book release. I love these books- but full disclosure- i read them twice- and realized a lot of the things that “bugged” me the first time - were not problematic the second time- instead i realized how much foreshadowing occurred! (A Lot) and that it was so much better the second time! and yes- i am currently OBSESSED ♥️ Anyone want to discuss second signet theories?

Hi friends! Opening day is almost here! Can i get an update on packages sent from @BethM @Mommamanzi @MittenGirlPeach @TheBookHippie @Captivatedbybooks

Saturday was a busy day! Mabon, then a book festival in Shepherdstown and mailing my #travelingstars2024 and #fallingforfallswap packages.

@KadaGul thank you so much for this totally cozy and delightful #autumncomfortswap I love it so much!!!

@MrsGagnonreads2024 your package arrived- with the corner a little open but the rest very secure! @tdrosebud Your package arrived also! #fffs

#hyggehourreadathon I am trying to organize and tidy my shelves- and it has been challenging- I really need 1 more book shelf and am overwhelmed with organizing by genre and sub genre. I re listioned to Iron Flame. I may be obsessed. Also nervous- I must have a HEA- im pretty sure Yarros leans that way but some of the theories on tik tok are giving me anxiety- anyone else? Also what series have you all obsessed over?

my #cbbc and #autumncomfortswap packages were mailed last weekend- sorry for the delayed post!

@MommyOfTwo Thank you so much for these birthday extras in my #cbbc box!!! I love the bookmark so much! 😘🎉🧡

Came to Capon Springs with my mom for the night. It‘s an old school resort- only lodge area has wifi, no cell service no internet and no tv except in that communal space. BUT they do have a library- and the tagged book was in it so i added to my tbr because i will not finish by tomorrow.

Yes I flew through this book! No it was not perfect- but I did love it!! Magic, war, love, friendship, family, found family, dragons, It just checked a lot of boxes. I wish the editing had been tighter, the loopholes less loopy and the angst less angsty- but I absolutely pre ordered the third book- and also- am reading 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Also incase I don‘t mention it enough I love Litsy and my Litsy Family! This is the best community 😘

My second birthday box was this incredible gift from Lynn- This is where I say I have been in love with that Apron! I‘m so excited! (I wear Aprons in the garden)And the Altar cloth is gorgeous!!! All of this was so thoughtful and intentional and I love it!!! And I love that you included my bond with my sweet daughter in this gift 🧡 Thank you so much for all of it Lynn!

I arrived home last night to two birthday surprise packages!!! This one from Christine! And yes the tote and tea cup are gorgeous! Of course I Love the tea and book too💛Thank you so much! I am trying to have a cup of tea to transition at night to rest and this cup is perfect- inspiring and i can‘t wait to use it tonight 😘

My dear sweet IRL friend @readingrainbowgirl gave me this stunning tarot deck yesterday as part of my birthday! (she joined litsy but is not posting due to grad school obligations 😩) If any one is a beginner or curious I highly recommend this deck! Also if inspired follow her so she has a jump start when real life reading can begin again 💛

Signups are open!!! See @BookwormAHN

Sam is a mystery book store owner and writes historical cozy mysteries- she uses her writing to process and tease through clues in her real life mystery. Her grandma and cohort from the senior center are her partners in crime- and of course she has a lot of help from her fiancé,sister and Stinky Pitt- the cop she‘s often at odds with. I really enjoy this cozy series.

Another solid pick in the series. I did just realize i missed the one before so that answered my gap in events that i blamed on brain fog 🤣🤣🤣

Mystery and mayhem in England. This is a solid cozy series for me- especially when my brain is foggy- just fun mystery and likable characters.
