Welcome to Litsy!

Reading the tagged book for #FoodAndLit #Nepal. I've realized I'm awful at taking food pictures so I will probably just grab pictures of the recipes I try off the internet 😆. Nepal Cucumber Salad (Kakra ko Achar) is what I am eating tonight while I continue this book. I left the cucumber skin on because I like it - and it was good. I also didn't put much Chilli on as I'm not big into spicy food.

Started #foodandlit Nepal🇳🇵 with some momos😍, the tagged book, and a Nepali movie, which I loved. It just aired internationally:

I made dal bhat for dinner tonight. It was really good and easy. I just threw it all in the crockpot this morning before work. This will be on repeat for sure. #FoodAndLit #Nepal

If you don‘t mind short stories with zero resolution, this is the book for you. The stories convey a lot about life in #Nepal, but other than that, every story disappoints—they just end. The author also includes at least one se*ual act, whether the story needs it or not, in almost every story. I can‘t recommend this book, but it may work for others. Fortunately it‘s a pretty quick read. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

My final challenge check in for January is this slim novel by a Dutch author for #FoodandLit.

I‘m not sure enjoyed is the right word here - and after reading some of the “rules” for what content gets left up, flagged, or taken off the fictional social media platform in the book, you‘ll see that words matter - but this book made me think about how we strive to put things (and people) into boxes vs seeing the bigger picture.

My plans for #hyggehourreadathon
Thanksgiving to #foodandlit #Netherlands in January, I am thoroughly addicted to Stroopwsfels with coffee. This one is honey & vanilla bourbon. It‘s a night for candles-those pictured are courtesy of @dabbe As always,my cozy reading chair with pillows & blankets. Not pictured are Em & Poe, who usually join me. Contentment!

Great reading month for January! I finished 19 books total & read almost all I set out to. I think weekly plane rides & trying to avoid media upped my reading time. Finished all 3 #Roll100 books, 3 from my #AuldLangSpine list from @JacqMac + #AuthorAMonth #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #FoodandLit #ChloeGongReadalong #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #Naturalitsy #MidWinterSolace #JaneAustenThenAndNow ⬇️

I‘ve started this audiobook for #foodandlit #Nepal @Catsandbooks #litsyatoz #letterA #chunksterchallenge

#FoodandLit This is a book of philosophy and confessions. I don‘t think I was in the right headspace to read about a white, narcissistic, man this week. The writing style felt its 1950‘s. The character is contradictory and I‘ve had enough of that lately but Camus did have several quotes that made me stop and think.
I made Dutch Baby Pancakes and they were delicious. I‘d like to play around with some other flavors and order some stroop syrup 😋
