My favorite mystery is the cozy kind...although, I tease about how morbid it is to combine “cozy“ with “murder mystery.“
After the intensity of my 2 previous reads, this was a nice stroll.
Wonderful, positive Bible quotes were weaved into this. My favorite,
I Corinthians 13 Verse 7
Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
This has waited on my bookshelf for years, glad I finally made the journey into this story.
As some of you have learned about me, I am a “little“ obsessed with Batman...😂, I know, more like a little, overly, obsessed with Batman.
And this remains my absolute favorite story about my favorite superhero.
The first “reread“ of a book without a single, pretty illustration 🤔, and I loved just the same as I had the first time reading this book. 👇
#ThinkPositiveBePositive.
Bruce Wayne: “I thought I could help Gotham, but I've failed.“
Alfred Pennyworth: “And why do we fall, sir? So that we might better learn to pick ourselves up.“
Ran across this online and fell in love...I love these theater masks 🎭😍💝. Just thought I'd share. It seems carved into the page edges of a book...
#ThinkPositiveBePositive
Stay positive and safe out there Littens.
I read this today and couldn't help but cringe...every time I venture out, It seems more and more people in my neighborhood are grumpier and angrier.
A few days ago, was out and about with my Mom when some guy walked up to her and pointed to the south while he said “the border is over there, you belong that way.“ All I overheard was the word “border.“ 👇
This evening, my mom and I were watching one of our favorite shows. Todd (one of the main characters of the show) is sitting and waiting for a clue at a restaurant when a series of names are called out for order pickup. One of the names given is my brother's name, Ulysses Joe! How epic!
Just found out that this TV show, So Help Me Todd has been cancelled!!!! Not another one, still not over the cancelation of the Fantasy Island reboot.
pickWhen we went to Walmart a few weeks ago, the store had revamped the DVD and book selection. This was one of the goodies I discovered.
Mix of the TV show Wednesday, with equal parts Beauty and The Beast meets Dracula, and a bit of Orson Welles as Edward Rochester in the 1943 version of Jane Eyre...all of this mixed well and transformed into a uniquely original, paranormal mystery. 👇
Found this while going through some paperwork. A doodle I did, Once Upon A Time (I didn't date). Some details were difficult to capture here...apparently boredom struck once I finished with Batman 😂 and I left it unfinished.
Not great work, yet it did make me giggle.
In my culture, good natured comedy is healing-like (Laughter can be a gift in a stressful world). While this is not hilarious, hope some will find this to be giggle worthy 🦇😉💝.
“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.” Thich Nhat Hanh

Thanks @dabbe for the tag and Thank you @Cupcake12 for creating this play~tag~share card.
1- tackle some errands.
2- Chinchilla...they're like little cuties from a cozy cartoon.
3- There is a bunch of different creatures I would love to be...a surprising pick for me would be the Jaguar. Surprising, because the feline comes in around #20 on my “favorites“ list. Yet, over the last 2years, the Jaguar has been catching my attention for some reason.
Fell to sleep while reading this, and awoke with the song, Bring Me To Life by Evanescence blasting (not literally). I guess my subconscious has found a song match for this book 😂, and here my waking self has been considering something more classical 🤔. Been ages since listening to this...
I guess “ghost“ wins even over Batman. This book has held my interest over all other current reads...bewitching (so far)!
Already reading four books at the moment, don't need to start another book when my limit is normally three.
Then I decided to take a peek inside this beauty before adding it to my bookshelf.
I understand colors, purple invokes mystique, framed by black increases that mystery. Yet I have allowed this book to put its spell on me 🧐. 👇
1 - Walking Off The Paved Pathway. My journey as I venture out of my comfort zone.
2 - Never read the book, yet the other day we watched the movie, “The Secret.“
My mom always raised my brother and I to think positively, be positive. In our cultural ways, my mom has even taught me that in everything I make, cooking/baking, gardening, craft/arts, to be positive while creating because what you make absorbs the energies.
This movie hit home.
From Page ninety-five.
What does it say about me that I always seem to find, Bruce Wayne's logic exhilarating...😂🤔😉.
With Summer just around the corner, about time for me to start this one again...
A few days ago, a friend asked me if I would go with her to run some errands.
Sure, why not.
Then she tells me to leave my books and journals at home because there will be zero time for them.
Yeah, she's not a reader.
I went to my bookshelf, grabbed the first of the smallest books I found on a flip of a dime, and slipped it into my pocket. All ready.
While waiting around for my friend, I had time for 49 pages...👇
When Nature Shows Us The Power Of Hope!

Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks aka
horned comet, Mother of Dragons, Dragon comet, Devil Comet.
A rarity that only comes around every 71-74 years. The best time to view it should have been on April 8th 2024.
Yet I cannot find any updates about this that are dated in April 2024.
Strange.
Did anyone try to see this during the eclipse?
I will keep searching...💫☄️🤩. Just wondering if anyone else is curious about the lack of interest about this rarity.
Thank you @TheSpineView for creating this play~tag~share card. 👇
Earlier this week,
My mom: Have any plans for the weekend?
Me: Nope.
My mom: How about a series binge-watch?
Me: Sounds like a plan. What should we watch?
My mom: Let me surprise you.
Me: Epic.
This past Friday evening,
My mom: Who is your favorite character on the Addams Family?
Me: The daughter, Wednesday. Why?
My mom: You mean, this Wednesday? (whips out this DVD).
Me: 🧐🤩💃😉👍.
I swear that my mom is some kind of magician! 👇
I've made a list of the books I'd like to reread (one day. Eventually. Maybe).
I do believe I've rediscovered the book I want to top this list with...🤔who am I trying to kid? Like Batman would ever be 2nd on a list of good things I make😂! Only if there were two Batman books 😉. 👇
pickLike I've noted, love stories are not my kind of reads...unless there is something I particularly like about the storyline.
If this hadn't been a time-slip, I would't have read it & that would've been a shame because these characters were wonderful.
This one was simply a cute and whimsical romance what was infused with the interesting message about “living“ your dreams.
Would make a great series with wacky Aunt Livi as the magical matchmaker!
pickIt was right around St. Valentine's Day when I went 2 Walmart & found this. Their bookshelves had mostly Romance reads.
I usually browse to see if there is any love stories in the fantasy genre. This time however, I just finished watching the novela, #amorimposible & I “needed“ something similar.
By the time I found this, it felt like buried treasure. It didn't seem what I was searching for at that moment in time, yet it was fantasy...👇
Batman Begins - equal.
Will Trent (TV series). While not completely fair, because I never read the books... someone said that the books are graphic and what I like about the TV show is that they focus on the characters and emotions instead of the violence and crimes. 👇
Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer. I believe I read all the books (unless the series has since continued), yet I had only really enjoyed book one. The movies have my vote. 👇
The first three books of, The Old Kingdom Series.
Original reviewed 2016, updated for Litsy 2024.
My mom bought me these books when I was in high school. The bookstore clerk highly recommended them. For whatever reason, it took me awhile to open and read them. One day, I reached up and pulled Sabriel (part one) off my bookshelf and read the first few pages.
I was hooked.
I read through the first one like a storm, which remains my favorite. 👇
pickWhile I have been following Amelia Atwater-Rhodes since her very first book, I like the Kiesha'ra series the best out of all her books. A land of shapeshifters and magic.
The story begins with a war between two families, the Falcons and the Cobras. In later books, the Hawks and Wolfs will play key rolls.
A fantastic read.
The Kiesha'ra Series, Originally Reviewed, 2016 updated for Litsy, 2024.
pickWow, it's been years since I've read these books. They kind of all blend together now, but they still remain one of my favorites.
The dramas of growing up. Making and losing friends. Mysteries to solve and backstabbing between best friends. The pangs of first love. All surrounded by magic.
I wish this book would have went on for 100 books, but it ended at number 15 with the message that true love never dies. 👇
@DaveGreen7777
I had always dream of opening my own bookstore. When I was 16 I made this sign.
While I doubt that I will ever actually open my own book store, I have reenvisioned my dream shop & don't mind sharing this.
It was going to be fantasy/paranormal focused with steampunk decor.
While I've noticed that some Littens work with books, wondering if anyone here ever dream of opening a bookstore? Do you believe there is a chance these days?
pickBegan fallowing Amelia Atwater-Rhodes from the author's first book.
Discovered way back when Target devoted a huge portion of the stores to books, music, & DVDs (oh, those were the days, 🤔, although not really that long ago 😂).
When I leaned the author was only a couple of years older than me, I became an immediate fan.
Since it has been years, I cannot give this a indepth review, yet this book & author will always remain among my favorites.
