Thank You All for your kind messages-you‘re encouragement is excellent medicine!!! 💗💕💗

I‘d appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, good vibes and positive mojo you can send my way dear Litsy friends! I‘m just home from the hospital following surgery. I fractured my tibia plateau in two places while out hiking. Lots of challenges ahead and for right now I can‘t even read, keep falling asleep because of the painkillers and muscle relaxers I have to take for the next few days. Thank You 🤕

Yes, please, I‘d like to visit Paris. And yes, I‘d like my room of my own to be inside a bookshop .....

Let the cover envy begin!

I ordered this because it sounded intriguing then was blown away by the gorgeousness!!🤓

Enjoying my current read! 📖

So, this is interesting, I ordered a book called Old Baggage, but this is what I received 🤔 The inside is The Tattooist of Auschwitz too! What really bothers me is that if the incorrect title hadn‘t been embossed on the outside I might not have noticed the inside pages were wrong - makes me want to check all my unread books!

Living up to the hype...🤓

A 25% off New Year sale at Malaprops in Asheville NC + a generous gift card from my son and his wife = a fantastic book haul!!!🤓

OMG, this is amazing!!!📚🌿🤓

Started tonight and already drawn into this narrative and it‘s seemingly unreliable protagonist...

I‘m thankful for all of you!!!🤓

And probably really enjoyed it —and the sequels too— but I recently DNF‘d it. What‘s your most recent DNF???

Damn, this is GOOD!!!🤓

Today is a perfect fall day meant for reading on the back porch, with temps around 60 here in NC and a delightfully light breeze.🍁🍂🍁

I haven‘t been around much lately, how the heck are ya??🤓

Victorian novels are full of social criticism, and the themes the Victorians examine, from class struggles to industrialisation, from religion to women‘s position in society, always fascinate me. Besides, no one writes love stories quite like the Victorians.

Is anyone else participating in #victober over on Booktube?!? My first read is Jane Eyre - I thought I‘d start the month off right with a reread of a favorite. I know @SharonGoforth and @shawnmooney are participating-anyone else? Here‘s a link to a video by the founder of the event if you‘d like to join in the fun 🤓

What a lovely lady @annebogel turned out to be - warm, kind and funny too!🤓

Anyone else attending this book signing with Anne Bogel at Malaprops in Asheville NC tonight?!?📚❤️🤓

I decided to start this one this evening and see that @Liberty is also reading it, so I‘m in good company 🧜‍♀️

I would appreciate some Litsy 💗 My retail job has been gradually going from bad to worse and I need to make some difficult decisions. I plan to continue until after the new year because I don‘t want to leave my managers in a lurch as we‘re gearing up for the holidays, then reevaluate. The problems have to do with recent corporate and district level decisions affecting not only my stress levels but also there are safety issues. ☹️

Just going to put this here for safekeeping...

You can keep your ☀️ I‘ll enjoy the quiet of a rainy day on the back porch with a good 📖 and ☕️...

Another case of a misogynist man taking credit for a woman‘s work. I‘m an admirer of Colette‘s work and excited to see this ...

Not book related, but had to share. My son is a firefighter and during a call he met this adorable puppy. She stole his heart and is now the newest member of our family ... Meet Bulma!!! 🐶💕

Hoping this is as enjoyable as his previous books!🤓📚❤️

... being the first to check out new releases from your library 📚💚🤓

My new tagline ... it encompasses how I feel about reading AND how I feel about my Litsy family!!! 📚💚🤓

Having an enjoyable, restful day and starting this promising mystery set in 1920‘s India 🇮🇳

It‘s a perfect day in the park for an audio walk 🤓🎧📖

Excited to be starting this one!!! 🤓

I‘m 56 today ... I figure at this age I‘m allowed to toot my own birthday horn 🎉 especially since I‘m still this cute!!!🤣🤪😁

Well, that didn‘t last long ... a couple of months ago I posted that I was going to try and read just one book at a time. Bottom line? I‘m just too much of a mood reader for that to work!!! 🤓 Now reading 4 books - 1 NF, 1 historical mystery, 1 fantasy, 1 contemporary romance👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is my grand puppy 🐶 Buster @Emiller - hope his sweet Corgi face makes you smile a little bit 💕

JUST TRYING TO HELP GET THE WORD OUT ... I‘ll be reading until it‘s all done ✅

🤓📚💕

I love being this guy‘s mother!!! 💕

🌸🌸Happy Mother‘s Day🌸🌸

I‘m doing a Buddy Read! 🤓
Well, first I‘m going to work 😔... then I‘m starting this 😁

Oh what fun! Check out the new Giveaway from @cobwebmoth 📚 called #chooseyourowngiveaway 💫 The choices are gift card, goodie box or 2 books from Book Depository and after considering my choice would be the 2 books because I‘m always experiencing cover envy for UK published titles!

Love my growing collection of tee shirts from @outofprint 🤓

Haven‘t been on here much lately due to crazy work schedule but things are getting back to “normal” now that people are coming back from vacations next week ... I‘ve missed my fellow Littens!!! 🤓 How are YOU?!?

The hype is well-deserved 🤓

Definitely excited to start this one, especially after loving her debut, I Let You Go🤓

So the last time my son and his wife visited we did some serious book shopping and I ended up buying Brandon Sanderson's debut based on my son's enthusiastic description. Afterwards, I got a kick out of him proudly telling her "Mom bought a book I recommended to her!"? Just started reading it yesterday and happy to say it's fantastic!!!

Enjoying this one!!
🤓

All of my March reads were Excellent!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I loved The Round House and am excited to give this backlist Erdrich a read ... I‘ve heard good things!

@EvieBee The HPB sticker is dated 11/08 😆

I‘m about half way through this one and I can confirm that in fact it is all it‘s cracked up to be!🤓

I'd been contemplating it for awhile, but after recent headlines I've deactivated my Facebook account ... I feel so FREE!!! 🤓

I‘ve made an important bookish decision. After trying to keep several books going at the same time, I‘ve decided to go back to reading one book at a time. So I‘ve put aside everything I was reading and I‘m starting fresh with a title I‘ve been wanting to read for a very long time: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothkiss.

I‘d love to hear your comments about one read vs multiple reads.🤓
