Welcome to Litsy!

Second book in a row I could not put down. A baby magpie falls from a tree and Marnie rescues it, much to the annoyance of her husband. Tama becomes a household pet and a viral sensation. Tama is ostracized by her magpie family but adored by Marnie and barely tolerated by hubby. This is a surprisingly tense story and, as the author always manages to do, it was a reading-race-to-the-end for me. A very complete & enjoyable read. TW:DV. #offtheshelf

September wrap up, pretty decent month!

I‘m catsitting in my old neighborhood. The house is on a street backed up against a large swath of woods. Lake Champlain is just around the corner. Several porches on different levels of the house with comfy couches, one of which I‘m on right now napping and reading, napping and reading. It‘s a glorious day.

Definitely a good one for the fall season. All of them just a bit creepy that leave you feeling unsettled in an interesting way. I love her writing style. I wouldn‘t say I necessarily enjoyed the characters or plot of the stories as much as the style and feel.

Here‘s my list for October #ReadYourEbooks. As I predicted, I read none of the picked books for September, although I did read one that wasn‘t picked, so that‘s a win! I‘m still pretty focused on the NBA lists this month, so we‘ll see how I do with this.

Here are just a few of the books I hope to read this month!!🧡👻🎃📚 #hauntedshelf @BookwormAHN #erasghostsbingo #bookbingo

Happy October, Littens! Put some fall decorations on a bookshelf…it makes me happy when I look at it! 🎃🍂

I hear the mynah‘s almost every morning but it‘s even more fun when they end up as my Merlin Bird of the day. 🐦‍⬛🖤

It‘s My(nah) Bird!

Most mornings I hear
Their loud trills at my window
Today, they‘re my bird
