My current situation 🏝⛱ Not a bad place to read 📖 #santamonica #calivacay #travelinglittens

“....this is not an account of grief. These kids chose a story of hope.” #Parkland #NeverAgain

FINALLY! My local library updated itself with some quality new books 📚 For the millions of local taxpayers dollars spent on this place, they kinda forgot to invest in BOOKS. 🙄 #bookhaul #locallibrary

Look 👀 what I found in the bushes of my front yard this morning?!?!!! ((Thanks, USPS 🙄)) Thank you, @Kappadeemom for my package 📦I cannot wait to see what goodies you have sent me ☺️ #summersantagoespostal #summersolsticeswap #swapsoflitsy

Dog Sitting for these two lovely ladies (Caymus & Willa) while attempting to read. Every time I pick up the book, Willa decides she needs attention. I adore these two pups & always love spending time with them when their humans are busy. #dogsoflitsy #thehistorian #caymus&willa

I really wanted to like this book, but 5 chapters in I couldn't bare it anymore. The author's voice is hard to read, choppy, and dull. I really had a tough time.

Went to #LongwoodGardens with my Mom, @Twohikers81 , to celebrate Mother‘s Day last week. Could not resist taking a pic under this gorgeous book arch. #booksandflowers #theseareafewofmyfavoritethings

My Mom @Twohikers81 & I visited this beautiful #tulipfarm this past week. It was gorgeous & filled with tens of thousands of tulips 🌷 in all varieties. I am very lucky to have a mother that I can not only talk to about anything but also go anywhere with. We have so much in common (like loving books & flowers!). Love You, Mom! 🥰

This novel was PHENOMENAL! The best book I have read in the last year. Twists & turns around every page, eloquently established characters, and really makes you think about the destructive lengths humans can go to protect secrets. Social Media is so toxic, especially for teens, and this book shines a bright light as to how much damage a single post can cause to people of any age. If you haven‘t read this one, you‘re missing out!

I received my first pieces of #LitsyLove this week! I have always loved #snailmail and it was fun to open my mailbox and see these cards. Thank You, Ladies for introducing yourselves. Can‘t wait to get to know you better. #booksfriends #ineedmorestationary #andstamps

Before the spire fell. Visiting is on my bucket list. I pray that something can be salvaged from this. She‘s been around since the 12th Century. Those birds look like dragons to me, but maybe that‘s my GOT hangover talking. #savenotredame

In celebration of Tonight‘s premier of #GameofThrones, I went to a pop-up bar last night. It was an amazing experience to be immersed in Westeros, sipping delicious drinks & chatting about the show & books with other patrons. Can‘t wait to go back!

This is one my #TBR !!!! 📖📚 Would love to win it for free!!! Thanks, @GripLitGrl for hosting this giveaway. #griplitgrlgiveaway

Finally finished. Read it in less than 4 days. What a ride! Fast-paced, well developed characters who sound believable, beautifully vivid descriptions of the setting and landscape, twists & turns until the very end. Only complaint was I was able to pick out the villain pretty swiftly, however, that might just be my Literature degree working too well, Hahaha. Overall, it‘s a stellar read & I highly recommend it to everyone! #noexit #recommendsday

A Christmas Gift that finally gets some love 💕 #hogwarts #journaltime #iamagryffinclaw

The first time I read this, I had never met an individual with Autism. Now, nearly 12 years later I have had the honor of teaching dozens of little ones with ASD & working with many teenagers on the Spectrum. No 2 people w/ Autism are the same, but each of them wants the same things we “typicals” do: to live a full, meaningful, happy life. April is Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month. Please check this book out and let‘s discuss! #autism #april

1.) Vacation, Vacationing, Vacations 🦋🌺🌎🛶🚤🏝🌄 2.) I worked at a Bakery for a few years 🥖🍞🍰🥧🍩🍪3.) Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult 👀👎🏻😿🙄⛑. 4.) Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine 🍄🍂🚨🏠⚖️🔪🔫. 5.) Who wants a tag?!?!?!! #wondrouswednesday

This book is one of my all-time favorite books. My pages are highlighted like crazy because it‘s filled with beautiful dialogue that evokes strong emotions. Even if you are not a sports fan, I dare you to not love this novel. #thebleachers

How do #Litsybookswaps work? Anyone know of any going on? I‘d love to join one. Sounds like so much fun. 📚⭐️❤️

I LOVE me a witch book, especially a historical one. Since I was a child I have been fascinated by the Salem Witch Trials. This book was SUCH a disappointment! I bailed because it was more textbook than anything and 200 pages in I had learned nothing new. Should‘ve known since it was on the $5 Deal table at Barnes & Noble.
