Binged this lovely story about setting boundaries when it comes to love, putting a career first and waiting for someone to become more honest with you. Mixed with magic and baked goods, I simply adored this story. ❤️

Here‘s my #bookspin and #doublespin picks. My double spin is actually a reread for a book panel I‘m on so that one will definitely be read this month. Pretty good start I should get both of these done! @TheAromaofBooks
With the new year being busy I forgot to post my #bookspin list! So excited for a new year of reading 🥰 @TheAromaofBooks
I read 49 books in December, lots of fantastic audiobooks and graphic novels to finish out the year.
Some of my faves:
-Lavender House
-Wicked House
-From Dust a Flame
-Space Trash v 1
-Invisible
-Enemies
-Victory Stand
-The Atlas Six
And rereading The Consumption of Magic again even if it broke my heart.
It was a great year for reading. I didn‘t expect to make it to 500 books again with my new job but my panel pushed me to keep going and awesome books kept me up to speed. Looking forward to another year of great books!
Thank you @Pigpen_Reads for the awesome #winterwonderlandswap #wws package! Absolutely love everything!!!! @Avanders @Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie
My favorite list to make this year was my top 15 queer books I read in 2022. So many great series and authors found it was hard to narrow it down. I cannot wait to find more in 2023!
Hello novels of 2022! So many interesting books read this year, I had a hard time trimming it down to 12. All of these were read via audiobook and were excellent! ❤️
Let‘s start this years countdown with some top lists. I can never do top tens so I have 12s and a 15 for you today 😂😂. These are my top graphic novels read this year. I‘ll probably squeeze two more in today so hopefully they won‘t be amazing or this will get fixed later 😅😅😅.
Okay I‘m late like always. I had to pick 3 books for January because I read over 60 books that month and these were impossible to decide from. Heartstopper literally is so good - my fave GN series right now. So This is Ever After is such a perfect read - funny, romantic and queer and magical. Iron Widow was such a memorable read as well!

Thank you so much @CindyMyLifeIsLit for the awesome #jolabokaflodswap package! I‘ll have to try the recipe on the back of the card on my break! Those hot cocoas are so cute and that‘s one of the books I wanted most so thank you so much! ❤️
Spending my birthday talking up some of my favorite books in my library with my 6th grade classes today! ❤️
Received both of these packages today!!!

Can‘t wait to dress up my dogs this winter, should I get new sweaters 😂
Misty! Your package showed up so fast! Thanks for the sweet holiday love! The homemade tree smells so good I can‘t wait to hang it in my car! I‘m excited to read this book and share it with my students. #litsylove @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Thank you so much @CoffeeNBooks for such a sweet holiday package! I definitely needed a pick me up this week. I definitely needed some coffee and new lotion and chapstick! And a graphic novel is just what I need for this season! ❤️ #litsylove
Having one of those moments where I forget everything - stress has been real 😅. My bestie was hospitalized over thanksgiving with Flu A and is finally back to herself now, my dog is finally starting to eat again after two days of vomiting and they found nothing wrong in his blood work. I had my work review and I‘m just ready for a real break because I didn‘t get one during Thanksgiving. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
I read 35 books in November I feel like I‘m missing one here 😅. I binged a lot of Star Wars High Republic books on audio which I HIGHLY suggest!
My fave graphic novels this month were Twelfth Grade Night and Sorceline!
I never posted my collage I made for October all these months are flying by since I started work. I read 36 books that month and some great standouts were:
Miss Quinces
Swim Team
The Last Cuentista
White Smoke
Daughter of the Moon Goddess
A little late to the game but working on some audiobooks this week while I‘m off cooking and cleaning 🥰 #novelnovember #readathon @Andrew65
Before I left Tuesday I set up my library for Mondays classes who will be my first groups to get a book tasting experience - I hope they save room from Thanksgiving for good literature! 🥰
Thank you @Blerdgal_Fenix for the sweet spooky package! It made my week! ❤️ #litsylove
Thank you @AmyG for the sweet #litsylovefallswap package! So excited to dive into all these great books and the sweets and can‘t wait to add the spooky goods to my home ❤️🥰. #llfs #litsylove @Deblovestoread
Well I finally took the plunge and replaced my original Kindle (yes it‘s ancient and it still worked ha) with this pretty shiny Kindle Oasis it was so fast and a touch screen! I love this case I picked out!
My package is on its way @AmyG #llfs #litsylovefallswap @Deblovestoread
I read 34 books in September, so many amazing books as I was working through the Caudill nominees on audio and some fun graphic novels as well. My standouts were:
Wash Day Diaries
Batter Royale
The Consumption of Magic
Legends and Lattes
A Thousand Questions
Fighting Words
Hope I have just as great a month in October!
Here‘s my TBR for October so far. I have a lot of space left for spooky this is a lot of my graphic novels I have out so this will go fast!

I‘m making my middle schoolers roar this year in the library thanks to Valente‘s beautiful reminder about libraries, one of my favorite quotes. The sign reads “A Library should not shush; it should ROAR”.
I‘m a little late but I read 29 books in August a lot less than normal but between COVID and starting a new job (which I LOVE!) I‘ve found less time and space in my brain to read at times.
I read so many great books though!
Some stand outs:
Graphic novels:
• Isla to Island
• Little Monarchs
Audiobooks:
• Obie is Man Enough
• Thanks a Lot Universe
• The Book of Speculation
• All Systems Red
lots of great books but those are my standouts!
Hey #litsylove members, our fall swap sign ups end tomorrow (Monday!) Hope you join us!

Here‘s a tour of my library room! I‘ve been meaning to finish it off and hang a few things so here it is! It‘s one of my favorite spots to chill inside even when I‘m not reading 🥰
Here‘s my TBR for September for #bookspin #bookspinbingo - going to focus on more middle grade and graphic novels ❤️
@TheAromaofBooks
So I tested negative Wednesday and was able to get back into my library! Yay! I‘ve been working on updating some of my spaces to make it more fun and modern, I plan to add some words about the library to our circulation desk - I want to add Collaborate first and then have each class add their own word that they think of when they come to library. ❤️
Been downed with Covid but feeling better today so I‘m out on the porch reading some graphic novels. Hoping I test negative tomorrow so I can head back to work and not miss too much of the beginning of the school year - such a different attitude I have this year as I‘m loving my new school and staff and can‘t wait to meet my students!
Sorry been busy @AsYouWish but thanks for the tag! @Eggs
Yes I read every day!
#wondrouswednesday
I use audiobooks to get a lot of my reading in - chores at home, driving around, playing mindless games when I need a break, etc. I also read graphic novels and hope to get back to novels more soon.
I prefer fantasy for comfort.

Thanks @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for the tag! I‘ve really enjoyed the tagged book! Full of queer love and set in a post apocalyptic time!
Come join the fun and recommend a book that starts with A

Here‘s my #bookspin list for August! Left a lot of wiggle room I feel like for things I may want to get to! ❤️ @TheAromaofBooks
Thank you to all my #litsylove pals for the new love at my new home! I‘m just getting to my stationary boxes and I hope this week to find some time to sit and write y‘all back. I get my couch tomorrow so maybe I‘ll sit all comfy on it for a bit and write to y‘all!
I think my new favorite thing is just spending time in my library room. I finally have the floor clear and I‘m almost done decorating so once I clean up I‘ll take some lovely pictures to show off my fave new space in my new house.
I splurged during the @owlcrate sale and was excited to see the Scorpio Races box on there as a big fan of Maggie Stiefvater. I can‘t wait to use everything! Makes me want November to come for a reread!
I did a little Bookshop.org order during the Prime deals when they had free shipping and it‘s arrived! I was filling in some gaps from my series of fave authors and needed the new Harley Quinn book 🥰
I‘ve been slowly unpacking my house but my favorite room to work on is my library, my dogs love the comfy rug and chair I bought. I‘m almost ready to reveal it all hopefully by the end of next week 🥰.
So I‘m not making too much progress but it‘s only day two. Yesterday we got our first big purchase delivered - a nice king size bed and I put everything together we got a moveable base which is so nice and the dogs didn‘t even mind it that much 🤣. I‘m loving my new home, having so much more space, a backyard and cannot wait to get a new shelf in place to start getting my library in order.
