Settled in to watch my Hallmark movie and just realized as I took this photo with 5 minutes to go...I‘m watching Lifetime 😂 I thought it was meh, now it makes sense. Thankfully Rediscovering Christmas still counts as a #holidaymovie 🤪 #wintergames #TeamNutcracker

TEArificbooks Lol. I like hallmark more than lifetime and my husband likes lifetime more than hallmark. 4y
peaKnit @mdm139 tonight was evidence I like Hallmark better. Well, lesson learned. 😂 4y
TEArificbooks I did like Christmas Pen Pals in Lifetime the other day though. It is the only one I like so far from that channel. But I don‘t watch many cause I am a Hallmark addict and there is only so many hours in the day 4y

I‘ve been doing this obnoxious thing lately, where I wait until I‘m done with a book to post all of the quotes. No one‘s ever explicitly told me that it‘s poor Litsy etiquette, but instinct tells me that clogging up people‘s feeds with a slew of back-to-back posts prolly ain‘t cool. OOPS. I‘ll be better next book around! Promise. 🤞🏻

Samplergal Life‘s way to short to worry about things like that. No worries. Post away. 5y

StellaDz You post your way! I find it hard to be on here a lot with my life schedule, but I do my best! I usually do a mass scroll and like away, which probably blows up people‘s notification alerts! 5y

DaveGreen7777 Awww, that‘s okay, @monalyisha I‘ve been enjoying your quotes! And thank you for the adorable puppy picture! Happy Monday! 😊 5y
monalyisha @DaveGreen7777 Right? Can‘t go wrong with baby animals. 🐶😉 5y
llwheeler I enjoy your posts! I don't think it's something you have to worry about. It's your feed, whatever works for you. 5y

cobwebmoth You've never bothered me with your posts.❤ 5y
CouronneDhiver I don‘t mind. Go nuts! 😁 5y
TrishB No problem! Post how you want. 5y
ravenlee Unless you‘re posting something from every page of the book it‘s no problem at all. 5y
LibrarianRyan Do you. Those that don‘t want to read it won‘t. 5y
sprainedbrain That‘s not annoying!! 5y
Weaponxgirl You do you! I‘ve found myself doing the same sort of thing when I‘ve been reading at work with no internet and highlighting quotes. When I get internet again I go mad. It‘s no problem whatsoever 5y

Amazon Christmas shopping for other people and... Oops... Keep adding a wee extra for me to all the parcels... I should feel guilty but I work hard, right? #mountTBR #cantstopwontstop

#NoFemmeber Day 25: #Whoops reminded me of this book that transforms spills, stains, drips into something fantastic. Despite the message being overwrought, Saltzberg conveyed it with unapologetic panache – indicating how reframing something and looking at the familiar with strange eyes (my favourite definition of creativity) can definitely make an Oops, infinitely beautiful. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-iY2

Cinfhen Brilliant and lovely review👌🏼 5y
Billypar Love the concept! Perfect choice for the prompt ☺️ 5y

Last year I upgraded to a Kindle Voyage, but I don‘t like the way the buttons work and other stuff. Sooooo ... as soon as I opened the email about the new Paperwhite, I jumped right on it. I‘m trading in my Voyage and paying in installments. Yippee!!

#kindleaddict #impulsepurchase #iregretnothing

BethM I'm trying to decide between this and the oasis. What did you like about the oasis? 6y
AlaMich I know, I‘m pretty excited about this too. Affordable but with some great improvements. 6y
eanderson I knew I should have waited to trade in my Kindle!!! I did it a couple months ago and got the white paperwhite. 😩 6y

Kaye I‘ve been pondering trading my PW in, hoping they‘d make one that works with Audible. I may just jump on this one myself. Thinking on it. Wish it came in white , but that‘s no dealbreaker. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @BethM I wrote this post too fast!i have a Voyager not an Oasis. It‘s got weird page change actions and seems.heavy. This one has all the advantages I couldn‘t afford with the Oasis, but without the big price tag. Sorry to be confusing! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @AlaMich @Kaye Hope it works for you, if you decide to upgrade. I miswrote my original post—I‘m upgrading my Voyager, not Oasis. 🤪 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @eanderson Oh no! I hate when that happens. 😢😢 6y
zzz I love my Oasis but this looks just as good with a better price tag for sure👍 6y
HardcoverHearts You have me at waterproof!! I‘m going in! 😂🙌🏻 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @HardcoverHearts Yay! Another impulse buyer. 👏🏻👏🏻 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @JenIsAlwaysReading I‘ve heard good things about the Oasis. But the money is just more than I‘m okay with. I got $75 for my Voyage trade-in. They applied $25 to the new Kindle and I get a $50 gift card. Also 6 mos free Kindle Unlimited. So ... lots of good numbers there. 6y
Kaye I just ordered one. Due to arrive on release day. Can‘t wait to try it out ! 6y
Maewyn This weighs less than my iPhone.😮 6y
HardcoverHearts @BarbaraTheBibliophage - When it‘s right, it‘s right! Why wait? Haha. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Kaye Oh my influence was strong today! I hope we both like the newest version! 👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Maewyn Crazy, isn‘t it? 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @HardcoverHearts A deal I just couldn‘t pass up! 6y
Maewyn Yes! I have a Kindle Fire but it is still tempting.😁 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Maewyn I haven‘t ever had a Fire—I‘ve got iPad though. I need the Kindle to truly focus on my book! 6y
Maewyn The fire is okay but I need a new cover. The magnet on the current one is so strong that when I flip the front back behind to read on it the magnet makes the device think the cover is on it and it shuts it off. I have to use it with the cover flapping loose currently so I find myself reading on my phone. 6y
Kaye @Maewyn Maybe you oughta give this new PW a try too ! Hint, hint..... 6y
zzz @BarbaraTheBibliophage it is an excellent deal👍 6y
Maewyn @Kaye Lol, I am considering it!😁 6y

I do have the good sense to feel a little sheepish but this is what happens if you live in a country with import restrictions & appalling Amazon then go home for the worst trip ever (stress buying + collecting orders = tower of glory). Trip was a disaster. Made it through the wedding then, in just under two weeks, lost two beloved pets, had a major health scare (94yo Grandma), minor one (idiot husband who swam in the Ganges just before we left),⬇️

GlassAsDiamonds a wildlife debacle (just after finding much beloved Pet 2 had passed, a beautiful green bird my very squishy hearted brother had been feeding flew into the new glass pool fence and died), tech couldn‘t be fixed & can‘t be replaced in India, contacts order didn‘t come in & now needs to be shipped to Singapore & I left my current Oz bank card on my desk in Mumbai. Oh, and cat boarding was NOT flawless. Excuse me but I need to go hug my tower. 6y
Cinfhen Oy!!!! But your book tower is magnificent ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ 6y
MommyWantsToReadHerBook Oh my gosh, sounds terrible! All the best! 6y

Soubhiville So sorry! I hope you get to relax and breathe now, and enjoy your new books. 6y
Kaye Wow. Those family events can get that way. I‘ve had many that I wanted to snatch myself, or someone else , bald headed. I‘ll take staying home by myself any day. Too much drama. We don‘t have any pets that‘d die, and no grandparents left since the 1980s. Almost every family event we used to have , I was sick as a dog,waiting for someone to flap their lips 👄 to someone else which ended in this 😤😠😡🤬🤯😱🤢 6y
Kaye I hope your books and home , give you peace again. We all deserve that 6y
CarolynM Sometimes it feels like everything goes wrong at once. Hope you get to take a breath now you're home. Looks like you've got some feel good books to get you smiling again.💜 6y
Dolly Wishing you much well deserved peace. ❤️ 6y
AmyG Hope all this is behind you. When it rains, it pours...sadly. Hug 6y
Buddys_Momma Sending you comfort and positive energy 💜💜💜💜 6y
TrishB I‘d definitely be hugging that tower!! 6y
Jas16 Wow that is a lot to happen all at once. Hoping that things improve quickly. 💙 6y
GlassAsDiamonds @MommyWantsToReadHerBook @Soubhiville @Kaye @CarolynM @AmyG @Dolly @Buddys_Momma @TrishB & @Jas16 - thank you all, you‘re what I love about Litsy 😊♥️♥️😊 Things are settling down. Neither health scare is gone but they‘re stabilizing and Books, home and kitties helped. Thanks again & here‘s wishing you a book tower to hug any time you need it. 6y

I am a day behind, but really that‘s the title to my life lately
1. LOTR, Hellboy, Harry Potter,
2. Not a fan of them. They make so many other gorgeous covers
3. The shades of magic series, the night circus

1. I love a deal so usually the sale section.
2. Books are a uniquely portable magic-Stephen King
3. There are so many great ones but the art teacher in me loves the tagged book to gift.
4. The last Litten I started following is @jantinetti 😊

Thanks for the tag @Trashcanman ❤️

Chasing_Pages One of my favorite quotes too! My friend made me a painting with that quote and is bringing it to me soon so I will be posting it soon. 6y
JoScho @Chasing_Pages that‘s awesome. I can‘t wait to see it 😊 6y
GarthRanzz Probably my favourite of all King quotes. 6y
JoScho @GarthRanzz that is saying something because you read a lot of King 😊 6y

If you didn‘t see my post last night - I forgot to do #friyayintro because I was having too much fun at the Grand Canyon yesterday!

So we‘re making #friyayintro a photo thing this weekend. Post a non-book photo of something from your weekend and join in the fun!

Chelleo Love the Grand Canyon. Really shows how much larger the world is. 6y
Cathythoughts Grand Canyon looks amazing 💫 6y

Listened to the final episode of Books on the Nightstand. 😟 Bloopers cheered me up a little. Favourite part: Ann losing her phone and retrieving it covered in dust. 😀 Here's a cartoon I made for Ann some years ago, when she compared herself to Lucy from Peanuts. @mkindness @Annkingman

alisonrose So sad the podcast is over, but I definitely understand them wanting to move on after so long! 8y
Lindy @alisonrose I agree. I wish them well. 8y
BekahB BOTNS was the first book related podcast I listened to. I bought/borrowed so many books based on their recommendations. I've considered listening to the podcast again from the beginning! 😄 8y
Lindy @BekahB That's a good idea. They are always supportive of reading in general; it's uplifting. 8y
