Welcome to Litsy!

#SummerSpecial

A throwback photo from 3 years ago for #KittenDay 🐱
It‘s been 4 months since I had to say goodbye to Max, my fur baby, reading buddy & OG Litsy model of 19 years & I miss him EVERY day. 😢🤍

#JulyJam

For #KittenDay a picture of Max as a kitten & more recently. He‘s 18 now, has a few health issues besides diabetes for the past 9 years, & I‘m not sure how much time we have left but I treasure the time I have with him. He‘s my boy.😽💙

The tagged book has been on my Kindle TBR for ages now.

#CatsOfLitsy

Cute and silly; it was ok. There were some parts that made me smile or laugh. It‘s a short, fast read. There were cat photos included with subtitled phrases from the book to fit the photo; the photos were taken specifically for the book. Some of the actual text of P&P was included, as well. It went back and forth between the characters as cats and the actual text (which didn‘t take away from the characters as cats – that is, it still “fit”).

#FallTreasures

Two books with #nonhumancharacters on my Kindle #TBR

11 months ago I posted & said I was going to read Pride and Prejudice and Kitties and it never happened. Max 🐱says his mom is a loser! 😂😹

#FallFinds

Max🐱thinks that Pride and Prejudice (and any book really) would benefit greatly from the addition of #felines 🐈🐈🐈so he thinks I should #buddyread this book with him since I‘ve already so many of the P&P adaptations & variations already. So #PemberLittens friends, I will be finally getting this one off of my #TBR stack this month.

#MagicalMay #AnimalOnCover

I was all set to choose book covers with a variety of animals on them but Max🐱insisted that we only put the “best” animal (in his viewpoint of course) on book covers. So here are some #catsoncovers from my stacks. Max🐱says that any book cover (& book) is enhanced by a feline presence!

Bingleybutt is best pillow, says Mr Darcy #catsoflitsy

Absolutely hilarious

Thank you so much @mabell for my amazing #FeedAReader package! 🤗 I looove the Slytherin spatula and Harry Potter cookie cutters and will definitely be putting them to good use! The books look awesome and I can‘t wait to try these yummy recipes, they sound great. (P.S. I love your handwriting!) Thank you for everything! 🤗

#HarryPotter

On vacation, the family went to the local zoo.

Here‘s a funny lion 🦁 pun: Pride and Prejudice!

Note: the real lion in the pictured, circled.

I wanted to name these two Mister Darcy and Miss Bennett, but the hubs wanted to keep the names the Humane Society gave them, Oscar and Darla. Yuck right?! 😂 Since they are his cats, I acquiesced. #namesakes #austeninaugust @Crinoline_Laphroaig

Snapped this picture of a sign at Jane Austen House Museum. I would totally have a cat named Jane Pawsten. She would be deceptively sweet looking with a mischievous side. Alas my Mr. Darcy is not a fan of cats. 😼 #namesakes #janepawsten #austeninaugust

Whaaaaat the...🤢

This vacation is treating the P&P collection well; number 122 and 123! 😁 (purchased at The House of the Seven Gables)

How could I possibly pass this one up?

Yesterday I remembered how happy my very soul is being in a bookstore. Here, my favorite posts are ones that include the kitties. #catsOfLitsy #findYourJoy

🤣😸😂 this book is delightfully absurd

And now for something much lighter than my last read... I'm counting this as my free space for the #litsyreadingchallenge 😄

One of @WanderingBookaneer 's students gave her this cookie tin as a gift. Guess who ended up with it?

🙋🏻

The story from the feline point of view. Is a fun, good story? I don't know, because I haven't read it...It could have been my #favejaneaustenadaptation

#seasonsreadings2016 #favejaneausten

My adorkable #readingcompanions - Elliot & Tilney. They've enabled many a reading binge as once they are on me I'm hesitant to disturb them. 😆 #photoadaynov16

#FunFridayPhoto On the list of things that make me happy is my Max, 12 1/2, often grumpy, diabetic-so he costs a small fortune to keep in insulin, needles & special food, & very vocal about EVERYTHING... This week has been hard, full of tearful, anxious nights especially & so he's been sticking closer than usual. Last night I woke up from a bad dream to find him curled up next to me with his sweet face, just waiting for a snuggle. 🐱❤️#catsoflitsy

Must be funny 😻
