So last week was really hard for me with a lot of family drama (thankfully NOT with my hubby who is amazing lol) and stress at work. And then yesterday I got the most fantastic package in the mail from @SaturnDoo absolutely STUFFED with goodies - it lifted my spirits so much! I'm so grateful for this amazing community & the friends I have made here. Thank you SO much for thinking of me, Robin! It means so much to me! ❤️❤️❤️

Roary47 I‘m sorry you have family drama right now. I know how that goes. I hope it works out and you can just relax. 😊 3y
TrishB Litsy surprises always seem@to arrive at the right time ❤️ 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Roary47 - Thank you!! The overwhelming majority of my family is so awesome & gets along great, but one sister is just an unhappy person & it's hard to know how to help her/talk with her/reach out to her when she just would rather be miserable. 😕 It's hard to know what the best thing to do is. 3y

TheAromaofBooks @TrishB - For real!! I was SO surprised & touched!!! 3y
SaturnDoo You're more than welcome 💜❤💜😊 I'm glad it helped you through a hard week!!! You deserve so much more than that STUFFED little box. Thank you for all you do for us. I'm happy just knowing that you're my friend 😘🥰🤗 3y
Addison_Reads Yay for Litsy friends! I hope the family drama gets better. I can relate. I have a sister who tends to keep drama stirred up around her, which eventually leaks out to everyone else. Sending positive thoughts your way that things are calmer this week. 💚 3y
TheAromaofBooks @SaturnDoo - You're the best!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Addison_Reads - Thank you!! It's just so hard to accept when people you love want to make choices that make them miserable 🙁 But she's an adult now & at some level we just have to let her do what she chooses to do even if it's hard to watch. I appreciate the good thoughts!!! 3y
TheLudicReader I only have brothers so I live a drama free life because those brats do as I tell them. 😘 3y
TheAromaofBooks @TheLudicReader - Right?! I have three younger brothers, too. You gotta sit on them when they're young & then they fear you the rest of their lives 😂 3y
TheLudicReader @TheAromaofBooks 🤣 true. Family drama is hard, though. I am sorry you have some, and hope it resolves itself. I feel lucky. I love my brothers; they‘re the best. (When they‘re not being pains in the ass.) 3y
TheAromaofBooks @TheLudicReader - Siblings are such a unique & special relationship. My other sister & I are truly best friends now, although since we're ten years apart we weren't as close when I was 16 & she was 6 & we had to share a room 😂 3y

I received a lovely surprise Halloween package today from the brilliant @erzascarletbookgasm ! I'm so excited about the du Maurier (eternal favourite indeed!) and look forward to reading more of Ira Levin, and love the cute spooky socks 😁 And the journal is beautiful, but the note that came with it was even better. Thank you so much, Jessie, that means a lot ❤️❤️❤️ It was such a treat to get this in the mail, you are too kind 😘😘

This surprised me, but I‘ll take it. I love Loki but I do acknowledge his naughty streak. Not sure what the comparison is saying about me, but okay!! From my memory of Frozen, Elsa has her own issues. I can see me sequestering myself in a frozen castle (ie, my study) with my books and counting the world well lost, so I guess we‘re alike in that respect! 😁

ReadingVampire I got the same one lol! 💜 Loki idk about Elsa 6y

Congrats @cobwebmoth 🎉🎉🎉 and thanks for the giveaway!
I think I was surprised by this book because it's not my genre at all. Anything fantasy or supernatural is not my thing... but I kept hearing about this book so decided to give it a try and ended up loving it! I'm stingy with my 5 star ratings on Goodreads but I gave this 5 stars!
#surprisedgiveaway

BarbaraTheBibliophage This is my genre and I loved it. Can‘t wait for the second book to come out—hopefully this year. ❤️❤️ 6y
cobwebmoth Thanks! I have this on my Kindle, I need to try it! 6y

Congratulations @cobwebmoth! I always love your posts and it is always so exciting to hit a #LitsyMilestone!

These 3 books all surprised me when I read them. Alice I Have Been and Devil in the White City because they were books that got me into these genres a d I Let You Go because it was a thriller with a twist I did not see coming!
