I'm woefully behind but I did finish book 3 of #14Books14Weeks2021!
This book has been lingering for TBR stack for about a year. A fabulous collection of sweet stories of unlikely animal friendships. Touching and truly remarkable!

@scripturient asked me, on Instagram, to share a #friendshipstack.

Here's my rather small stack of books with characters I'd like to be friends with.

Murderbot hates talking to people, embraces being an introvert
Aziraphale and Crowley and Agnes Nutter
Claire, badass librarian from hell, literally
Gideon is my kind of potty mouth
Veronica and Stoker, pass the aguardiente, please.

Who would you be friends with? @rockpools @cobwebmoth @hgrimes

TheKidUpstairs Great choices! 4y
rockpools Ooh, interesting- I‘ll have a think! But I‘m kind of wanting to read all of your books now 🙄. 4y
julesG @rockpools 🤣🤣🤣 I should really get commission. 😁 4y

rockpools @julesG Ya think??! 😂😂 I‘m scared to even ask about that one everyone was buying last night. Do I want to read that one as well? 4y
julesG @rockpools The Octunnumi? I'll let you know. 😁 4y

This is such a cute book featuring inter-species friendships in the animal kingdom. Each story has adorable pictures of the pair or the three animals/birds/fish/reptiles/humans, followed by the scientific terms of the animals/birds. If you want a quick read that will make you happy, and realize the universal bonds of empathy and friendship, then read this. #NFNov

pppooraikul @Laalaleighh I'm just the same! I've been inactive in other social media for so long people start wondering what went wrong with me. 😂 (They don't know Litsy, of course!) 8y
Laalaleighh @pppooraikul I want to keep it that way! I haven't even told my friends about Litsy because I don't want it getting too big and full of trolls. 8y
ReadThisBookYall I used to worry that Litsy would be a time-suck from my reading, but it's been the opposite! I've found so many interesting books, been introduced to Netgalley, made kind cyber friends. It's a win-win-win! 8y
pppooraikul @Laalaleighh Exactly. And because they read like a book per month. So, I guess it's better this way! 8y
Laalaleighh @pppooraikul yes. The people who add me on goodreads and then never finish a book ever. "My GR Challenge is to read 5 books this year and I've already read 2!!" ?? 8y
pppooraikul @Laalaleighh Lol. I my goodreads timeline's filled with X has become friends with Y before I started following Littens. And I meant per year* in ^ comment. They're that bad! 8y
Laalaleighh @pppooraikul same. It's terrible. 8y
LibrarianJen I love Litsy! Also, no one judges me (at least not to my cyber face) about my horrible typing/grammar. I swear it's because I post the most around 3 AM. 8y
PenguinInFlight My niece just mentioned to me I rarely post on FB anymore...and I don't. Not since I've joined Litsy! I do love GR, but the phone app leaves a lot to be desired. 8y
