Snow Day | Richard Curtis

There's a blizzard today. The list of area closures is so long. Even the Catholics canceled their Ash Wednesday services. And I'm at work, not at home snuggling and reading. It's making me a bit salty.

Wish me luck on the commute home! I'm looking forward to starting Brave Hearted tonight for #riseupreads!

This book has beautiful illustrations! So freaking cute. Got this for my fairy obsessed daughter and am now in love with this author, can‘t wait to get more of her books. Adorable and earthy and magical

Moominland Midwinter | Tove Jansson

Moominland Midwinter was my pick for February, given that I read and loved it first. But I can see Giving Up the Ghost potentially sweeping the whole board.

I‘ll tag each of the remaining books below (to make it easy for anyone who may be considering adding them to their TBR).

Moominland Midwinter | Tove Jansson

I‘ve felt sort of scattered and dissatisfied lately; I think those feelings have transferred to my reading life, too.

For the second month in a row, I read more than I typically do. But the vibe is off. 🙈

I did read two books I absolutely adored: Moominland Midwinter and Giving Up the Ghost. I hope that same passionate energy guides me and focuses me in March.

I‘m still reading the last two. But I‘ll be done before the clock strikes noon!

Happiness Is a Warm Puppy | Charles M. Schulz

You‘ll have to forgive me. I know folks have complained about Litsy not being as book-focused anymore (a complaint I don‘t share…but maybe I‘ve just been vigilant in muting hashtags I‘m not interested in). Anyway, I deleted all of my social media when Meta made its most recent changes (re: fact-checking & hate speech). So, this is all I have left. And I need the world to know that yesterday was my puppy‘s birthday! Jett tasted his first ice cream.

Ruthiella ❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️ 2w

monalyisha @merelybookish @kspenmoll Oh, I totally agree! Plus, I like that there‘s humanity here. It doesn‘t need to be all business — no matter how pleasurable the business is. 😉 2w

monalyisha @Read4life That‘s fun! What excellent taste you have. 😉 We adopted him in September and haven‘t encountered the name yet out in the wild. We named him after Joan Jett & her song “Bad Reputation” (in addition to the color of his fur) because he was returned to the shelter twice before we found him. Just not the right fit for the families (young, rambunctious kids & other dogs). He‘s such a snuggle bug. 🖤🐶🤍 2w

Read4life Mine was 9 pounds and also loved to cuddle. He loved curling up on my stomach during my pregnancies & that bond with our kids stayed strong. Your Jett is the only other dog I‘ve seen with the double T spelling. 💙🐶💙 1w
