Welcome to Litsy!

#Movie2BookRecs @Klou
Prompt: Free Willy

I was completely charmed by Elsa and the humans who only wanted the best for her. I know I wouldn't be brave enough to reintroduce a lion, that is totally dependent on me, back into the wild. I wouldn't want to be responsible for attacks on people. But, I appreciate their commitment to Elsa and to her cubs.

Elsa just died. 😭 You can't get to know a lion and not feel something. This is an old book and since it's about nature, I think it is okay to post.

Sor this is my second bail this month so it's not going well reading wise right now. What was accomplished with elsa the lion was an important part of conservation, I won't dispute this. But I'm not liking this book at all. I know things are periods of their times but the colonial attitude of the author is grating on me combined with the fact that she seems to personify the type of conservationist who doesn't give a crap about people.

That moment when you pop into the library to return books and only get one out that's on your mental tbr list and come out with a #libraryhaul.
Also for #uklittens have you checked out the kindle summer sale? I picked up a few good looking books there even though I'm broke.

Choosing a favorite animal is hard, but I have to pick the lion 🦁 I've always been drawn to them ❤️
Congratulations @CoffeeCatsBooks on your 15k ⭐ and thank you so very much for the generous giveaway!!!

Elsa came from #wherethewildthingsare. #90sinjuly

I went with three nonfiction and two fiction for today's #lyricalApril #Africa prompt. I listened to The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency so long ago and loved all of them! Little Bee was much more challenging, but gives a glimpse of the tragedies in Africa. Born Free is an intense childhood memory for me. My mom LOVED this story. Don't Let's Go is odd but interesting. And the Dian Fossey is a book I'd love to read!

I thought this was a pretty lame pick for today's #Joy prompt but then I realized something. I bought this old edition at a book sale solely because I watched the movie as a child with my Dad ... and so many happy childhood memories came flooding back. Yep. There it is ... joy. #12DaysofXmasPhoto

I told my partner that today's #12DaysOfXmasPhoto challenge was about #joy and he immediately said "Born free". At my confused look he said, "Book related, right? Born Free. By Joy Adamson." At my continued blank look I got a book synopsis.
