My daughter and I went to the #FOTL book sale today, our first visit of the year. And what a haul we found! She was so excited by her finds! 🤩 📚 #raisingreaders

❄ Since I'm in Florida -no mosquitoes! 😂 and snuggling under a blanket to read when it's not 95* outside.

❄ ❄ The tagged novella (spoiler 📢 alerts if you haven't read the rest of the series).It's such a pleasant, quick read, that I pick up when I need to relax, even if its not wintertime.

Enjoying the gorgeous (warm!) day and starting this biography on Dr. Biden.

Visited the library for the first time this year. Went slightly crazy -but each sounds so good! #bookhaul #library 📚 📚

💜 Something mountain-esque, Beautiful views and somewhere I can escape for a while.

💜💜 A couple smaller, light reads, and probably a 700 page+ tome that I could just dive into and not worry about leaving any time soon!

Currently suffering through a painful migraine 😫 but hoping reading will ease it. Sometimes it does and sometimes makes it worse. Aiming for a chapter of Obama's book before bed. 🙏

Thank you all so much for your thoughtful cards. We had the memorial service today for my Aunt, so while I'm feeling a bit fragile, it helps to know there are those who care. 💜💌 #LitsyLove

📕 Hermione Granger
📚 Oh goodness, I think she's perfect in HP, but maybe Piers Anthony's Xanth series. That might be interesting.

Came into work this morning to find this lovely surprise 😍 from a (recently discovered) fellow bookworm! Just made my day! 🤩 we've been going back and forth with book recs and favorite reads the last couple days. Love finding bookworms in the wild! 😁

❄ It varies. Sometimes right after Christmas, sometimes the first week of January.

❄ ❄ Rain!! I love to read when it's storming or raining outside.

Thought I posted my #SeriesLove2023 but evidently I didn't. This is an initial rough draft, as it were, and subject to change based on my reading moods, but it's a good starting point for me. Here's to knocking out some of those series on my TBR!
@Andrew65 @TheSpineView

Thank you so much @Bookgoil for the lovely #Litsy #Winterwonderlandswap gifts! ☃️ ❄ I haven't read either of those and I'm excited to settle into one of them with that amazing candle burning! 🔥

My #bookhaul between swaps and Christmas gifts this year. Not pictured, the #Thriftbooks or BOTM books I just ordered before my new year's resolution to read what I own and not buy anything new (to me). Don't worry, I'm laughing at the absurdity that said resolution will actually come to fruition as well 😄 😂 but at least I'll start off with good intentions! 📚

My January #BOTM. I didn't really see anything that jumped out at me this month, save for the thriller, which you usually can't go wrong by. And I decided against Babel last time but have seen high reviews for it so decided to give it a try.

@HeatherBlue how you manage to find books that I want to drop everything and dive into every time, I'll never know --thank you so much! 😍 These all sound amazing! And I can't wait to try out the bubble bath! Merry Christmas!! 🎄❤ 📚

How delightful! Thank you so much, @Jerdencon 😍❤🎄 its been a bit of a rough holiday so this is just what I needed for Christmas Eve. I didn't even realize they made cookies n creme kisses! 🤩 Thank you again!

❤ -Originally I had 50, then bumped to 70. I'm hoping to do 85 before year's end.
💜 -I'm at 79 I believe, with 4 books in progress (and a mountain of Christmas books to still read through!
💙 -enjoying the cold weather and Christmas events with my daughter 🎄 🎅 🎁

@Eggs #WondrousWednesday

1. Only a few miles away to my folks' house.
2. As we're in FL, no, but it's supposed to be colder than it's been in years. 20*-30* 🥶 🧊 ☃️ ❄

@TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday

My #jolabokaflodswap was waiting for me when I checked the mail this morning! Thank you Denise! 😍🎄🎁 📚
@MaleficentBookDragon

It's basically a week till Christmas and I've soo many Christmas books to still read, but I can't let the holiday pass without reading this classic. 🎄 📕 Found this lovely edition on Book Outlet.

Started in on this lovely new Christmas book and I'm finding it to be a charming, cosy read. I'm only 80 pages in but wanting to savor. 🎄 📚 🔥 ☕

Can't believe I forgot to post about this gorgeous package @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks thank you again!! Its so pretty I don't even want to open it! Might wait till Christmas so I can admire it more! 😉😍❤💚📚

My #Winterwonderlandswap arrived! ❄ ⛄ So excited to open soon! Thank you @Bookgoil ❤💙🤍

@Chrissyreadit @Avanders @TheBookHippie

My daughter's #24BooksofChristmas that I've done each year for her. She looks forward each evening to diving under the tree to see which book she unwraps that night! 📚 🎁 🎄

Haven't done these in a while! @TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday

1. I don't usually, because no one outside of my book groups ever gifts me with any. 📚

2. Yes, I'm doing the 24 Books of Christmas for my daughter as usual, and I usually find several books throughout the year that would be perfect for that certain person. 🎁

Sent out my #WinterWonderlandswap this morning! Should be there midweek. I really hope my swap enjoys everything! ❤❄☃️

@Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie @Avanders

My #BOTM picks this month. I've not read either author before but both sound really interesting so here's hoping they are both great!

My #Jolabokaflodswap is on it's way! @MaleficentBookDragon Should be there on December 1st, though I think it's in 2 packages. I hope they enjoy! 🎁 🎄 📖 🍫

I brought a little piece of my home library to my desk at work. 📚 ☕ It's calming to see my little library during the day, plus if I forget to bring a book (gasp), I have spares here. 💕

It's rainy and cold outside and it's been a productive day. So time to relax with some hot chocolate and one of my favorite Christmas reads. 🎄 📕

So excited! Missed last year's and am excited to catch it this time! #chocolate #reading #jolabokaflodswap @MaleficentBookDragon 🎄 🎁 💝 📕 📗 🍫

#bookhaul from my library sale today, where Christmas books were BOGO, among other sales. Looking forward to cozying up with some holiday reads in the weeks ahead! 📚 🎄

Skipped October's #BOTM but was very intrigued by the new Clare Mackintosh book. It'll be the first one I've read of hers, the add-ons are tried and true authors for me.

Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much, @quietjenn for all the lovely fall goodies! 🍁 🍂 🕯 📚 🧡 I love everything! And fall weather arrived just in time to settle into the titled book. 😁 #LitsyLoveFallSwap @Bookgoil @Deblovestoread

I've been on a Greek / Helen of Troy kick lately. This is the second book in this series about Helen and Paris. #TrojanWar #HelenofTroy.

Ooh! Finally checked the mail and look what was waiting for me! Thank you! @quietjenn 😍 #llfs I can't wait to see what you've picked! 📚💕 @Deblovestoread @Bookgoil #LitsyLoveFallSwap

Sending out my #LitsyLoveFallSwap today, ahead of the storm. I hope they love everything! @Deblovestoread @Bookgoil 🍁🍂 📚 ❤

In honor of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, my Royals bookshelf. 🇬🇧💔 👑 May she rest in peace with her Prince Philip.

Library haul for this week. 📚 The spotlight book was featured in Duchess Camilla's book club last year and I finally got around to checking it out. Has anyone read it?

https://www.royal.uk/duchess-cornwalls-reading-room

Brought a new friend (and fellow bookworm) to my FoTL sale for her first time.😍 This was my haul, for myself and my daughter, and she left with a tote full as well! I even found a signed Clive Cussler 📖 🖊 🤩

I was absolutely floored to find this copy of Dickens' A Christmas Carol on the shelf at my local Goodwill. You'd better believe it came home to live on my vintage bookshelf. It's in poor condition but I couldn't just leave it behind.

My sweet neighbor gave me these. I've never heard of them but they sound like cozy reads. 💕

An older gentleman saw me coming back from our neighborhood Little Free Library, and, in fellow bookworm conversation, he recommended this book to me. Has anyone read it and the subsequent series that follows? It seems like a quaint little read so far.

The closest used bookstore to me extended their hours for June -only on Mondays- which means I can visit after work now! This was my haul from today. 🤩❤📚

So I might have to instill a book buying ban....this is just this week 😅 #imighthaveaproblem

Thank you, my fellow #LitsyLove littens, for the birthday wishes and little gifts! It was such a joy to open each one! 🎁 🎂 🎈💕

I have to share my joy with people who understand. I started a new job and realized there's a library not 10 mins away! Guess who spent their lunch break there and brought home (maybe) too many books! ☝️☝️😂 #bookhaul #imighthavegonecrazy

Omgoodness thank you soo much @mnjacques !! I feel so spoiled! 😍😍 Just what I needed after the last few days. Happy Valentine's Day to you and I hope you enjoy yours just as much! 💕💕 @Bookgoil @rsteve388 #LitsyLoveValentinesDaySwap

My $10 #bookhaul from my mental health day I took today. Quite excited about these finds. 😁❤ 📚
