Welcome to Litsy!

1) Going Postal is my favorite Terry Pratchett book! (So far) I've read it at least 4 times.
2) Puffy, hands down. Crunchy always feel stale to me.
3) Er, both? I'm a morning bird, so I often see both anyway.
4) I'd go on a massive Thriftbooks shopping spree!
5) 1st grade, because that's when reading became fun!

Time to answer some #happymail! 😊💌
Thanks for your heartwarming notes, coolest puppy cards and all the #LitsyLove❤️
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @catebutler @WorldsOkayestStepMom @Purrfectpages @MaGoose @laurenslibrary 🤗🤗🤗

My last #coffeebeananscozy package arrived today and yet again you spoiled me @vkois88 !! It has truly been a pleasure getting to know you and I for sure want to keep in touch!!

Are we going to a third round @Mommamanzi ?? Please... please??? 😎

Life feels a little off center at the moment. Coffee and Sir Terry Pratchett should make it right with an entire fantasy book on conmen and bureaucratic nonsense. #goingpostal

Sorry such a late reminder, but yesterday was last mailing day of this rotation. If you have not mailed out your book(s) already, just try and get them out this week. Keep in mind it is a holiday for our US members, so mail may be delayed a bit. Hope everyone stays safe and has fun 🎇🎆🎉

Oh my goodness @MolliesaurusRex !! I absolutely love everything!! I can‘t wait to read the books and the treats look divine!! Happy summer solstice everyone!! #summersantagoespostal @BookishMarginalia

@BookishMarginalia

In the midst of this busy second to last weekend before school is out, I forget to post this yesterday! My #summersantagoespostal goodies are on their way. A few more weeks until opening!! 😎☀️📖

Got my #summersantagoespostal package all wrapped and ready to go today!!!
@BookishMarginalia

It‘s Terry Pratchett, therefore, it‘s brilliant. 👍🏻👍🏻

Just want I needed after a super long day... book mail is the best and @vkois88 always sends amazing book mail!!! Thank you so much for the gifts and I love the teacher appreciation theme!!! 😘😘😘😘 #coffeebeanbookclub

Despite having the most cringy name (fight me. "Moist" is the most disgusting word in the English language), Moist Von Lipwig's such an enjoying main character. Flawed as hell awesonr. The romance with him and Adora is like OTP. Lord Vetinari is such a troll honestly and he's the fictional embodiment of who I would be in any story. Basically, just take away that being a money hungry asshole is bad.

We look like a mole rat again

Just to say thanks to @kathedron @TrishB @RachelO @Lel2403 for the birthday packages! Trying to be good & wait until tomorrow!

Remember that today is the last mailing day of this two month rotation. If you haven‘t mailed your current selection, please do so soon. Some of you don‘t have books, some of you have more than one, but you are all pretty much aware of the gaps and what needs to be done. If you have any questions, please let me know, and if you are going to be late just shoot a quick message to your recipient. Thank you, Ladies ❤️

Stops 2 & 3 of #SEABookstoreDay: Eagle Harbor Book Co. & The Traveler (part bookstore, part travel store)

I got some really fun mail today!

We started our #LitsyGoesPostalOG books traveling around the world nearly 3 years ago, and we‘ve got about 2 years left until they come back to us... but Cal is awesome and sent these gifts to me so that they don‘t have to travel with my book anymore.

Some postcards from Barcelona from Lorna (in Scotland), a magnet from Kentucky from Ashley, and Arizona swag that I *think* is from Jodi.

Thank you all! ❤️❤️❤️

@Marmie7 I didn‘t forget about you but between bouts of the stomach flu and a giant snow storm I will finally be getting to the post office tomorrow to send you our #coffeebeanbookclub book!

I love how much you spoil me @vkois88 !! And this package is exactly what I needed on the crappy snowy day... #coffeebeanbookclub

@Avanders This is on its way! Expected delivery is Saturday. #sffswap

I love a swap hosted by @BookishMarginalia ... if you haven‘t ever done a swap with her it is super fun!! #summersantagoespostal #summersolsticebookexchange

@ItsAngel #readersgonnaread is headed your way. @DGRachel #LMPBC is on its way.

@suvata can you take a look at Group R for Round 5? The sign ups appear to be Angel, Karen, Laura, then me, but the attachment with email and mailing addresses has Laura, Angel, Karen, and then me. Before I send my book out, I want to make sure I'm doing this in the right order. Thanks!!

And instead of all the new books I am listening Pratchett's Going Postal for the... cannot even say how many times I've gone down this particular rabbit hole. This usually ends with me doing very many Pratchett audio books and then continuing with the rest. Oh well. I will get a lot of crocheting done.

Thank you @vkois88 for the wonderful gifts!!! You are amazing 😘😘😘 #coffeebeanbookclub

@NeeSwee here comes #24HRR #24HourReadingRoom

#luck #quotsymar19 @TK-421

Dear Cathy, your package has just arrived. It's going through an intensive sniffer test as you can see. 😁

Thank you very much! I'll hide it until the end of the month.

@Cathythoughts

Book 22 of the year, finished March 9, audio

Lord Vetinari puts conman Moist VonLipwig in charch of Ankh Morpork's defunct postoffice.

This is one of my favorite Discworld books. I feel like I say that every time, but this time it's true. If I had to pick a top 3 it would be Reaper Man, Going Postal and Hat Full of Sky. Going Postal is especially fun for me now since I stared working at a mail center last week.

I recently started a new job at a mail center and my thoughts as I'm stuffing envelopes and sorting mail is a combination of the folks assembling Magic is Might propaganda pamphlets for Umbrage in Deathly Hallows, and Moist VonLipwig in Going Postal.

Hopefully everyone remembered to ship their current rotations out by the end of last month. If not, no worries, just please get them out soon and inform your receiver. Once, it has all shipped, please message @BooksTeasAndBookishThings with what book you RECEIVE, if any. A new list will be made of books and their locations to make sure we are on track. Please and thank you! Hope you are all doing well and enjoying 2019 so far.

Look what I finally picked up from the Post Office. Sorry @Lizpixie it took me so long to go get it, esp. after you went to the trouble of sending it Express Post. Now to open it! 😍
#cupidgoespostal

Thank you @LapReader for my #cupidgoespostal gifts! I especially love the mug, tea & that gorgeous bookish tea strainer with its tiny little book about tea! The book Depository bookmark is one I don‘t have yet & the Clare Mackintosh is the only one I haven‘t read. Thanks also for including the 2ndhand copy of The Great Alone, once I‘ve read it I‘ll #payitforward and leave it at a free library or the hospital. #ValentinesBookExchange

My #cupidgoespostal package is here! Thank you @LapReader I can‘t wait to open it. According to AusPost, @neet_reads yours has been taken to your local Post Office for collection👍

Just wanted to let you know @vkois88 that I absolutely adore the bag that you made me and it is totally become my book bag... I even transferred my pins to it already!!! 😘😘😘

You have outdone yourself yet again @vkois88 !!! I am so spoiled and I love everything!!! You are the best!!! 😘

It's here! Can't wait to open it.

@BookishMarginalia @NAM99

My #cupidgoespostal box went out today. It should arrive at its destination on Friday. I had a lot of fun shopping for this one.
@BookishMarginalia

No one else can turn a phrase quite like Terry Pratchett.

I haven't posted monthly stats for several months so I'm trying to get back in the habit. I completed 5 books in January. 4 of them were picks for BookishMarginalia's #LitsyAtoZ2019 (F, H, P, Q) I also used First King of Shannara as a "your choice" pick and HP & the Cursed Child as my "Saving the world from evil" pick for DuckofDoom's #SFFTBRChallenge. My favourite reads in January were Going Postal and Quiet. #JanuaryStats #ReadingChallenges

Sadly, my #CupidGoesPostal package arrived torn. Fortunately, I don't think anything is missing. It might have happened on the last leg of its journey (different DHL person today), normally DHL tapes torn parcels in transit.

Anyway, it's here, I glimpsed inside and now I need to wait until the 14th.

@BookishMarginalia

This is on its way. #CupidGoesPostal

Friday evening chill-out so far: comfy couch time with my hubby, a book, blueberry-vanilla black tea, and Beethoven's 9th playing in the background. ❤️#introverting #recharging
