I know most of you have sent and some of you have received your packages already. I am asking you to mark them on Elfster too seeing my laptop decided to crash and on it was my chart with everyone marked as sent or received.@MatchlessMarie @AprilMae @ashley_o13 @Gissy @kstadt929 @bradyyk @BarkingMadRun @BookNAround @sweetpealsd @rsteve388 @LibrarianRyan @LapReader @DinoMom @Bookish_Gal @TheBookDream #Cozyswap #litsyswaps #3moredaystosend

BookNAround I can‘t figure out where to mark it as sent on the site. I sent mine on the 11th and in tracking it today, it has made it through 4 different portal stations but has yet to get to Canada, where it is heading. Hopefully soon! They claimed it would take 6-10 days when I mailed it. 1y
TheBookDream I think I marked it sent in Elfster 1y
Endowarrior21 @BookNAround Click on the person you are sending to and it should give you a tab to mark sent. 1y

Girls Made of Snow and Glass | Melissa Bashardoust

Labeled as a dark, feminist retelling of Snow White, this was a fun read. I wouldn‘t consider it to be any darker than the original Grim version. However it was delightfully feminist & original. I think the author managed to find the essence of the female characters, allowing us to see deeper into their hearts then before & why that might lead them to certain choices. Set in a land cursed with perpetual winter it‘s perfect for this time of year.⬇️

MeganAnn There are no princes, but we do get a bit of romance in the sweet way Lynet explored her emerging feelings for another girl. The main story focuses on the relationship between Lynet & stepmom Mina. The ending gave me all the feels as Mina & Lynet find a different ending than the original fairytale. This would be a perfect read for teen girls of any age who like fantasy or fairytales. Thanks to @Mommamanzi for gifting this 2yrs ago in the #cozyswap 2y
MeganAnn @TheAromaofBooks this was also my #bookspin for December ❄️🎉😍 2y

megnews I‘m looking forward to hearing your review of the Sun does Shine. It‘s been in my tbr for awhile. Also looking forward to Book of Lost Friends review. I read it and look forward to seeing what you think 2y
ravenlee Cranberry Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holiday books! It was out of print for so long, I was ecstatic when I saw it had been rereleased! 2y
sblbooks @megnews They both have good reviews so I'm looking forward to it. Do you ever watch YouTube videos? I wanted to read The Sun Does Shine after listening to Krista's at Books and Jams review it. 2y
sblbooks @ravenlee Oh, that's good to know. I might have to order the hardcover, instead of just ordering the ebook. 2y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I too am anxiously awaiting all the halloween swaps! @MaleficentBookDragon has hosted #AllHallowsReadSwap in the past & @LibrarianRyan has done a #NightmareSwap . Not sure if they are again, but they're good swap hosts/Littens to follow. Bring on Spooky Season! 🕸👻😁 3y
MaleficentBookDragon I‘ll be doing sign ups for the #allhallowsreadswap at the end of the month. 3y
LibrarianRyan @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I can not decide if I want to do a nightmare swap or a makers swap. What are your thoughts. 3y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @LibrarianRyan 🤔 I'd be into a nightmare swap. I'm not terribly crafty unfortunately. But I'm sure the Littens would love whatever you decide to do. 3y
Littlewolf1 @jenniferw88 @wanderinglynn @sprainedbrain @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @MaleficentBookDragon @LibrarianRyan thank you all so much… I‘m looking forward to getting the chance to participate this year 👻 3y
jenniferw88 @sprainedbrain 🎉🎉🎉! I'm only going to do one Halloween swap this year, and as I'm REALLY getting into the witchy spirit, I'm pretty sure it's going to be yours - sorry @wanderinglynn ! 3y
Littlewolf1 @jenniferw88 I keep missing them every year so I think I‘m gonna go for all of them… Next year I might dwindle down 3y
sprainedbrain @jenniferw88 I‘m determined to get you a really good match this time, my friend! ❤️ 3y
Littlewolf1 @ferskner @Avanders @Chrissyreadit Are you guys hosting the #CozySwap this year? (edited) 3y
Avanders Oh I‘m sorry — I hosted my old falling for fall swap instead this year — super early! I had sign ups last month… but I think @wanderinglynn ‘s will have a non-scary option if you wanted to focus on fall and cozies ☺️ 3y
Avanders (Though if @ferskner and @Chrissyreadit do the #cozyswap again this year, I‘m all about signing up for that!!) 3y
ferskner I've had a doozy of a summer so the #cozyswap wasn't on my mind at all. I'm sorry you're missing it this year, @Littlewolf1! @Avanders @Chrissyreadit 3y
Chrissyreadit @ferskner @Avanders @Littlewolf1 this fall I am also just wanting to join a swap vs organize a swap….. 3y
alisiakae So I just started a hashtag to help people find all the fall/Halloween stuff going on this year! #AVeryLitsyHalloween 3y
Littlewolf1 @4thhouseontheleft that‘s brilliant, thank you 3y

One of the first swaps I ever participated in on Litsy was the 2019 #CozySwap and this was one of the books. Less than two years to read it 😂 Back then I didn't write down who my swap buddy was, so I can't remember who actually sent it!!!

Anyway, this was a fun if somewhat run-of-the-mill cozy, setting up the MC and town as the first in a series. I enjoyed but didn't love it, especially when Tessa was just doing really dumb stuff, like ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) confronting her husband's probable murderer... by herself... at night... in an isolated location... without telling anyone where she's going. 🙄 A soft pick, but it probably won't stop me from reading the next in the series haha

Noemi' father asked her to visit her cousin in High Place after she wrote a letter insinuating that her husband was trying to poison her. Noemí will find out what is happening in that house. Story is creepy, some gory & disgusting scenes, expected in horror novels. The end, a little too cheesy. What is happening, too "vegan"☺️But it kept my attention in last pages. 3.85⭐️ #Scarathlon2020 #TeamHarkness @StayCurious 26 points ?

Gissy Bookmark bought in Etsy store recommended by @Megabooks 👌 3y

LeahBergen Great photo! 💀 3y
Gissy @maich I'm not an expert in horror novels but it was ok but not great. It kept my attention but I know that persons that love this genre will find it meh. But I'm a chicken in some horror novels☺️so it was ok for me. 3y
Gissy Besides the story, I love this cover😍 3y
Sleepswithbooks Love the mugs!!! 3y
Gissy Thank you @Stacypatrice I like that Mexican cultural tradition. Maybe because I love the animated movies Coco and The Book of Life🤗 3y
Gissy @Stacypatrice I forgot to mention that the mug glows with hot liquids 3y
Sleepswithbooks @Gissy How cool!!!! 3y
Gissy @LeahBergen Thank you! I love that Mexican tradition. Also, Coco the movie was so special for me even when it is an animated movie😢 3y
Megabooks Ooo! I hope you like it. This is a fantastic photo!!! 😍 3y
Chrissyreadit Was the coffee as yummy as I hoped it would be? 3y
Gissy @Chrissyreadit It is!! I also add a small amount of ground cinnamon on the top☕️mmmm 3y
alisiakae Love your photo! I really wanted to read this during Screamathon, but I‘m stuck in the 70‘s on my library holds list. Started out in the 200s, it‘s a really in demand book! 3y

This was one of the books in my #cozyswap. Unconventional setting for a cozy mystery with a daring, rather than reluctant, amateur slooth; a nice change of pace from the typical format.
