My package from @TheBookHippie arrived today I can not wait to see what I got π€ @Chelleo #BHS
Black History Month: Reclaiming a Lost Legacy | 
I found this tote on Etsy while I was searching for #Blitsy items. I canβt pass up a good tote, so I figured Iβd share if anyone else was looking for items (or good totes π). Look what I found on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/609839575/black-history-tote-bag-african-american?r... This is the medium size
WOO it‘s almost Black History Month! This is my kick off #BlitsySwap post! Butβ¦I‘ve messed up a little bit. So, I‘m participating in one of the coolest Litsy swaps #BHMS by the lovely @Chelleo
I sent my package off this week and forgot to take a snap. But I can tell y‘all that it is headed to Suffolk, UK ππβπ½ things have been kinda crazy (way crazier than usual) and i think I coulda done a better job, but I hope this gives my match a smileπ
Starting mapping out 2023 already! Thanks so much @Chelleo for doing this again! Love this swap! ππΌππΌππΌππΌ
@KatieDid927 This MADE my day. I love love love everything. I so wanted the 1619 Project-thank you! The other books, too. The great mug, postcards (I write to so many in Litsy Love), the magnets, chocolateβ¦.and the Obaamas -β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ. What a fabulous swap. I am so grateful. Thank you so very much.
And thank you @Chelleo for organizing every Feb.

Oh @Chelleo what a lovely surprise, very unique and creative! Love it! Thank you so much for taking of your time to send this beautiful card and bookmarkπFor me is more than a swap because I try to do like a month readathon. Until now, I have read 8 books by black authors and they have been amazing books. They motivate me to read more information of that event. I also buy things for my match and for myself from new artists to me. Thank you!π₯°
Thank you Michelle! Black History is made every day, but I love having this swap every February.
Hurray! It‘ll be on its way to @Gissy tomorrow! Hoping it reaches you safely π

Thank you @CaliforniaCay for a wonderful swap package! I love everything, especially the tote! Thank you @Chelleo for putting together this wonderful swap !#BlitsyHistoryMonth ! #BHM
#blackhistorymonth roundup - 14 books and halfway through one more, plus the three events I went to this month.
Proud of my wide reading this month spanning pre conquest Africa-2019 via Dumas and the Harlem Renaissance! I covered classics, contemporary, lit crit, anthropology, memoir, politics fantasy and read incredible books from 3 languages.
Here‘s to keeping this up and giving black history & writing the importance it deserves every month
@Liatrek my #BlitsyHistoryMonth package arrived today!!!! Thank you!! I can't wait to open it tomorrow!! #BHM @Chelleo
@CSeydel It came! A good pick-me-up while I‘m recovering from some surgery!
#blitsyhistorymonth @Chelleo #bookswap
Annoyed with myself that it took SO LONG to get my #BHMSwap goodies to the post office, but finally the box is en route to @Wannabe_Quijote ! Should arrive early next week. Also - expect a second (small) parcel shipping to you directly from Etsy seller TheTriniGee.
#BlitsyHistoryMonth
Progress check for my #blackhistorymonth reading. My minimum goal was to read 10 books by black authors which I hope I‘m on track to manage! I also want to get some more non fiction in there before the end of the month. I have a few more on my shelves I can read and include - trying to focus on reading books I own not buying more but I have some Maya Angelou and some Dubois I haven‘t read yet!
I love the doorway to story time at our local library decorated to celebrate Black History Month. So creative and beautiful!
