Welcome to Litsy!

3✨I wanted to read this for a holiday challenge and never got to finish it. I‘ve had it on my shelf for a while because I enjoy reading John Green‘s books. The problem with the different stories is I liked the John Green one and the first one by Maureen Johnson I also got into. It was the last story I didn‘t like and I wouldn‘t say it was because of Lauren Myracle‘s writing. I just did not like the character. They did all tie together though.

Okay really behind, but here is an update for #BFC2022 I did not meet exercise goals, but I did focus a lot on my self-care. Man did I need it! For those who don‘t know I fostered my nieces when my sister was trying to get things back together. Having 4 kids and then giving birth to my youngest for a month shy of a year took its toll on my emotions and I didn‘t feel myself anymore. Being a little selfish got me behind on everything else. So ⬇️

This is a book of 3 connected stories by 3 different authors. A light,fun romantic read.

The latest in a bunch of unbelievable books I read this month. On one hand, fun light reading. On the other, girl goes home with stranger she just met after disembarking her stranded train in a strange place, teenagers crashing cars in snowstorms to deliver Twister to a Waffle House, and super self absorbed girl is magically transformed by…actually, I don‘t even know, but I didn‘t buy it. Maybe I am just too old and crotchety for this one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Word Search game for our team holiday read pushed me to a total of 10638 points through week 4! @StayCurious #teamgamesleighers #wintergames2021

The first story by Maureen Johnson was good, but it was all downhill from there. So when 2/3 of the book was not great, I gotta pan it. 🤷🏽‍♀️ #teamgamesleighers #wintergames2021

I'm late in sharing these numbers @StayCurious I'm sorry! My total points after week 3! #wintergames21 #teamgamesleighers

A fun and sweet collection of 3 holiday YA romances that are all interconnected. Of course, I loved Maureen Johnson's the most, but the others were good too. Now I can watch the movie that was made from it! #WinterGames #MistletoeManiacs @Clwojick

Today's #FestivePhotoChallenge with my Festive Drinks... 🤪 #teamgamesleighers #wintergames2021 @StayCurious

I usually enjoy YA but this felt very young. The stories were good but nothing mind blowing.

Finished the group read for #teamgamesleighers I did enjoy this and the message. Didn‘t love the middle story but overall it was enjoyable. #wintergames2021

This is from my December TBR list for #WinterGames2021 *and* Festive Photo Day 15: Festive Read. This was my view while reading.

Finished the #TeamGameSleighers team read. It was super cute! I loved the interconnected characters. Each story was great, but I liked the cheertastic christmas miracle the best. I watched the movie adaptation right afterwards and it was also good. They changed a bunch but it worked better for the screen.
This was a very festive read ☺️🎄 #FestivePhotoChallenge #WinterGames @StayCurious

Started this one on audio yesterday. So far it is an easy likable read.

#WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers. 16 pts

Finished! On the whole I enjoyed this - the first story is my favourite, the middle one is kinda laced with misogyny which unsurprisingly I wasn't very here for lol but it was kinda fun nonetheless, and the third one has a relatively sweet little message😊

#BuddyRead #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

I enjoyed this #TeamBuddyRead though I must admit that I almost gave up on Part 3 because Addie really had an annoying internal narrative. #wintergames #teamgamesleighers @staycurious #littenlisten #dashingdecember #anywayyoureadathon #wintercosy #bfc21 #averymerrybingo #averymerryreadathon

My brain is doing a lot better now and I have some SERIOUS catching up to do for the #WinterGames2021! I plan on reading loads today!!

I'm having a Bad Brain Week bc work is v stressful atm & something went a bit awry in my personal life BUT this evening I am going to watch #TheSantaClause bc I'm pretty sure that's #TeamGameSleighers team film🙌 I'm also going to read some more this eve😊

#WinterGames2021

Watched the movie. While I think as a whole it‘s better than the book, I felt like the things that actually worked for the book were changed. The Stuart-Jubilee story line was kind of random and there was zero background on Jeb who I felt deserved better in both the book and the movie. Foil Woman though 💯 #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

I thought this was a fun read. I enjoyed how the stories connected to one another. I know many of the #WGWordSearch words were in it, but reading physical book - when I finish I scan for words but don't catch many - if only there were a program for word occurrence counting for physical books 😂!

Make a great day everyone ❄

@StayCurious Hello! How many points is Let It Snow worth if we read it for the Buddy Read? Asking because it's 3 short stories and they usually each count as a book!

Wrap it up! Here is my gift for my work's Secret Santa (alas all credit for this expert wrapping goes to Lush)😂

Finished my #TeamGameSleighers book late last night. It was cute, I liked how all the stories connected.

Feeling anxious this evening so have lit a candle and have some calming music on😌 Coincidentally this also fits with the #FestivePhotoChallenge theme of today - By candlelight🕯

Not very christmassy or a very good photo but red and white nonetheless - the first thing I found in my house😂

@staycurious #wintergames2021 #teamgamesleighers #festivephotochallenge

I finished this one last night. Wow, I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to try and get those holiday words in while listening to the audiobook. I'm a multitasker and I'm usually doing something else while listening to my audiobooks, so I don't have time to stop and add tally my words. Luckily I own a copy of this book so I'll go back and add those words in later.

My planned reading for the rest of the week. These are all my Libby holds that have currently become available. Some of these I only have a few days left on, so it's crunch time. Luckily I'm off work Thursday.

Here's my #WinterGames2021 TBR list (in no particular order). Go, #TeamGameSleighers! 📚 🌟

@StayCurious

Here it is! On the bottom we have cooking and crafts, then we have library books including Sugar Cookie Murder which is fictional WITH RECIPES (bring on the points! 😁) and also my most anticipated read & then on top three books I picked up at the charity shop yesterday including the tagged book which is one of our Buddy reads! Like it was meant to be! I am ready! Printing my bingo cards now! Let‘s go #teamgamesleighers #wintergames2021🎄 ⛄️ 🎅🏻

Looks like I‘m on #TeamGameSleighers for #WinterGames2021 and I‘ve been piling up books for the month. I have an ambitious TBR for the month. Some will be my #bookspinbingo but I may make a second holiday bingo board. I have a few of my own and have many on hold from the library! I hope this is good motivation for my reading!
The left is my holiday that got cut off but they‘re there!

#wintergames2021 TBR for December- I‘ve decided to make it books based in Alaska, other than the 2 buddy reads.
Can‘t wait for the games and fun to start. 🎄❄️☃️
#earlybirdpoints #teamgamesleighers

There are SO many more on my TBR but I thought I'd narrow it down to 10 for now 😂

Thanks to @emilymdxn for suggesting so many great reads 😍
