#yuletidereads runs from december 21st to march 20th see original post or tag for prompts and storygraph link #readingchallenge #litsy

Not my thing at all.

It's finally snowing instead of raining!

Strike is very over as of Tuesday. No new mail until Thursday. Meaning hold onto it until then. #canada #canadapost #mailstrike #swaps #litsyswaps

Right about now, I would love some Snow. It's been a rainy winter so far which is not at all usual.

The tagged represents being cozy indoors, since that's how I listen to it. #two4tuesday

12 days until #yuletidereads begins! See original post for details! #readingchallenge #tbr

1-- I am flying through the tagged book.
2-- my tree skirt is nearly done.
3-- my #auldlangspine reads are easy to track down.
4-- #bluesky is starting to get more lively.
5-- I'm enjoying rewatching Rizzoli and Isles, as well as CSI and The Closer/Major Crimes.

My #AuldLangSpine reading choices so many to choose from!I will be starting January with these two! As much as I have enjoyed Holly Black, I'm just not in the mood for her vibes. @LeafingThroughLife have you decided on your selection(s)?

Progress update on my tree skirt. It's almost finished. Measures at 11.5 inch radius, done when it hits 15. #crafting #craftersoflitsy

USPS has announced they will stop accepting all mail and packages destined for Canada until our postal strike is resolved. #postalstrike #canada #usa #canadapost . If you are doing #swaps #litsyswaps of any kind involving Canadian recipients please make alternate arrangements and alert you hosts.

Both, snowman, neither, neither, HOLIDAY MOVIE, both, both, in store. #thisorthat

This is the prompt grid for #fourfoursin2025 #fourfours by @Lauredhel . As always I've made a storygraph tracker too and it is public for anyone who cares to use it.

I don't really have favorite songs. My favorite artists are Cher, Nickelback, Kansas, Boston, Ambrosia, Taylor Swift, and Arrogant Worms. My top is Faun.
My current read is most like the song taking care of business by Bachman-Turner Overdrive

I'm all signed up for #auldlangspine .

Take 1 on tree decor. Tons of lights and rose gold orbs with gold accents, gilt snowflakes, and white glitter icicles (not pictured).

#saturdaychatterday

Pulled my Christmas tree out and have set it up. No lights or ornaments yet. Not planning on cards this year unless the postal strike wraps up soon enough. No swaps either. Am getting organized for my reading challenges, including the one I run. Also putting finishing touches on my sister's birthday present.

Finished making my personal storygraph trackers for #frozensick and #frigidwoe .

I smelled snow Friday night and I was right! First snow of the year today. #canadianwinter

#SeasonalSpiritShare @dabbe
Christmas music, crafting in front of the fireplace channel, reading, and holiday decor.

Canada Post strike as of today November 25th. Purolator is owned by Canada Post and will not be receiving anything originally sent through Canada Post. #mailstrike #litsyswaps

#tlt dessert edition

My personal favorites are sweet and spicy cornbread, Apple cinnamon bread pudding, and rhubarb or fresh blueberry pie.

Canada Post has issued a lockout notice in response to the union strike notice. Be aware and make alternate arrangements for any swap parcels not already sent. If you are using your home postal service it will automatically involve Canada Post if recipient is Canadian. While no work stoppage has occurred yet it likely will soon. #swaps #litsyswaps

#tlt
The tagged, though I have only seen the movie. Also skipping christmas by John Grisham, and the gift of the Maji by O. Henry. Also the book of joy by Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama. Not technically Christmas but definitely worth a listen. I recommend the Libby audiobook.

I want to remind everyone at this time about special ballots and mail ins. These are never counted right away. Especially important for Pennsylvania and Michigan these two states are razor thin. And some of the states haven't finished their counts yet.

Scenarios: cozy blankets, tea, comfy armchair/papasan chair. Or alternatively in front of a fireplace (real or on screen).

I anticipate actually finishing the tagged book this month.

A little over half finished now, I might actually finish this reread before it has to go back to the library again!

#yuletidereads is just around the corner! Link to storgraph tracker will be provided closer to the date. Running from December 21 through March 20. This year there will be a bonus category! Hallmark movies countdown to Christmas. @LitsyEvents

Had this one and the following: broomstick with stars and lightning bolt, owl, ennui, two constellation pumpkins, the word spooky, and the sorting hat. Got maybe 20 trick or treaters. Closed up by 7:30pm. #halloweenspirit

#DaysDevotedTo #Authors
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Tess Gerritsen, Amber Tamblyn, and Kathy Reichs. Clockwise from top left.

I'm noticing that when I search a tag or click a tag in mobile that sometimes posts are showing up that are not actually tagged with that tag. Anyone else noticing that at all?

I've seen that Canada Post workers have voted in favor of possible strike action. No notice is issued yet. Word to the wise for those participating in swaps.

Blessed Samhain to everyone who observes. Happy Halloween to everyone who does that.
