Sunday morning reading. I finally switched over to the flannel sheets and I never want to leave my bed. Nigel agrees. Happy Sunday. πŸ–€ #dogsoflitsy

A beautiful stack of books for my birthday. Gifts from others and some I got for myself. Plus I was gifted a three month subscription to Audible! A little of the art from Literary Witches Oracle deck, thrown in. I think I‘m going to start with Winterwood. Happy weekend 😊

Thank you so much @JoScho this is a wonderful bookish birthday box 😊 I‘m in love with mug and haven‘t ever been so excited about salt and pepper shakers. They are the cutest little foxes!! I look forward to reading both books. You don‘t see the treat for Nigel, because he has quickly claimed that πŸ˜‚ Nigel sends thanks to you as well 😊

I get a short week this week! Just have to survive Today!
1. Terry Prachett, Ray Bradbury, Neil Gaiman, Alice Hoffman, and VE Schwab
2. What is their favorite memory?
3. Over 200 but definitely under 500. Renting life means limited space and the fear of having to pack up books and move them. So I try to keep the number in check.

Goodies from my visit to SalemπŸ–€. In other news I need some help!!! I feel like I have been a bad reader this year 😞 I have been working on a bunch of projects and it‘s been hard to fit in my normal reading habit so I have been a lot slower. I usually have a hard time focusing on audio books but I want to try. Any suggestions, tips for audio books. Also how do I try it out without spending a fortune. Note: I do have a prime membership.

A happy book birthday to a friend of mine!! @Empathicwoman book Empathic Mastery is out today and I can‘t be more excited for her! It is a beautiful book that is absolutely empowering. Please check it out! Also how do I add it to the book list on here? Starting today 10/1 and up until 5 am EST 10/2 the ebook is 99cents!!

#readingbeforework Monday means back to work, but first some reading!!

A great collection of spooky, eerie, and unsettling tales. A lot of the endings are open. Fair warning for those that like to have an ending to your story. I liked it because it helped to make them more unsettling. What happened in the end to the man that walked into the woods?!

Oh geez! I have no extra money right now! Outofprint.com is killing me!!! They just released this shirt 😍 plus they have a limited edition starless sea enamel pin to go with it!!! I‘m dead! May the book fairies save me an XS when I can afford this.

I have started reading Dark tales in earnest. I love a short story collect and I‘m 4 stories in, and enjoying these. Not really horror, they have a twilight zone feel, that I really like.
I also want to welcome to Litsy a friend, @Empathicwoman she is a wonderful lady 😊

Finished and really enjoyed. Pam takes a look at witches throughout history and what the word witch means. It is also about her experience being a witch and how she came to it. It doesn‘t dive super deep but it definitely makes me wantY to find out so more. I have also started listening to her podcast The Witch Wave. She has a super soothing voice.

This was a box of summer! @JoScho thank you so much for all the wonderful goodies! I had to put the wrapping paper in the background. I opened this up and smiled. I‘m wearing the pins today. The gnome bath bomb is the cutest. This picture doesn‘t do the jaws funko justice, it is so cute! He is eating my Swedish fish! Both books I am looking forward to reading! A great swap! Thank you so much Jody πŸ–€πŸ–€ #highfivetosummerswap #hftss

Finishing up some coffee and having a quiet Saturday morning reading. A great start 😊 I hope everyone has a great day.

I know a lot of people want to call this a Lord of the Flies with girls. I don‘t fully agree with that. Girls bodies start changing in strange and creature like ways when they hit puberty. The Navy told them to stay on the island stay behind the fence where their school is. Don‘t break quarantine, they will find a cure for them. Fair warning it might be a bit gruesome for some. I usually shy away from body horror. This didn‘t bother me.

I don‘t know how many have shared this yet. I am here for it!!! Who has read the book??? Any thoughts on who should play a young Frances and Jet???

My #highfivetosummerswap box was mailed out today! I forgot to get a picture of the package before it went out. so I figured I would share the scenery from last years apple picking.
It‘s on it‘s way to the west coast!! #hftss

With the craziness that had been going on earlier this summer. I hadn‘t been reading as much. So I have started a habit of reading before work. Still working on a regular yoga practice πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈI‘m enjoying the story of this one and I know some have said it can get gory. So far it‘s been safe to read while I eat my breakfast!

1. Raspberry toaster strudels. I might pick up a box every once and a great while- it‘s a fancy pop tart!
2. I have been on a really tight budget this year but I would probably say the Princess of Power tank from Her Universe. They had a big sale and I love the way it fits.
3. Started Wilder Girls by Rory Power this morning.

I really enjoyed this story. As a one shot fantasy book it was perfect. It had the feel of Vikings and for those gamers Out there I kept seeing the main character as Alloy from Horizon Zero Dawn. If you like fantasy but get overwhelmed by some of the deep worlds this is a good one. No supernatural or magic in this but the story and characters are so good you won‘t miss that.

Finished this prequel to Into the Drowning Deep. It is just as enjoyable! There is a great atmosphere and sense of tension that is created. I LOVE these mermaids they are vicious and believable as a natural evolution/adaptation. Which helps to make it creepier!

I know it‘s only the beginning of August. I know it‘s still Summer and I don‘t like to rush things but Michael‘s has started putting out Fall and Halloween items. Including their Lemax Spooky Town and how could we not include a haunted Library to our little town!!! I want to make it an all year decoration πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€ it‘s $85 but with a 40% off coupon it was $51 and we have a gift card.

Spent my morning reading before work πŸ–€ Just started Sky in the Deep and I‘m hooked. Got some female warrior/ Viking vibes.

Finished this morning! Another enjoyable thriller from Riley Sager. Jules takes a job as an apartment sitter in the luxurious Bartholomew. The rules might seem strict and kind of strange but she could use the twelve thousand dollars she will be paid to stay there for three months. When an apt sitter goes missing and Jules learns that sitter is not the only one that has gone missing she is racing to find answers before she could share the same fate

Happy Monday!!

@JoScho

A quiet morning reading. I am fully engaged on finding out what is going on in the Bartholomew. I hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday 😊

I spoiled myself with one of the tops I have been eyeing on Jordandené.com. There is a whole beautiful collection of the Darker Shades of Magic Trilogy. I will be getting more in the future. Great quality!

I have been a book buying ban because my stack is ridiculous and I haven‘t really been reading the last few months. I have been able to slowly get back into reading and after the last two months being the worst I have had in a long time. I thought I would spoil myself. Plus I sold back a bunch of books, so I didn‘t have to spend any of my cash to get these. Technically I didn‘t buy these?

@JoScho thanks for the tag 😊
1. Oh French toast with a side of bacon or a Cinnamon Bun with a side of bacon- definitely a cup of coffee
2. So there is this Irish Mexican restaurant in Maine and I just would have never thought of combining those two.
3. I love to read and eat!
4. I can‘t have ice cream (dairy allergy) so I would make a dairy free raspberry with Oreo crumbles

I finally finished a book in what feels like ages. I‘m over 2019 and would like to just spend the rest of the year reading, thank you. This beautiful book was so wonderful to read. It has a Noir feel a little with PI‘s and a murder to solve, in a high school for magical kids. Oh and estranged sisters! I have some many feelings about the family situation.
