Welcome to Litsy!

“Life is too short to waste on reading a book you‘re not enjoying…you should give a book fifty pages. But if you‘re over the age of fifty, take your age and subtract it from a hundred. So, if you‘re seventy, give the book thirty pages. “

Entertaining vignettes of the lives of librarians, and bookstore owners/employees from across the US.

Fun little cartoon collection around the theme of books and literature.
Perfect palate cleanser for relaxing. Of course, some are better than others, but I'm always impressed by the imagination it takes to create so many vignettes.

Crafts my kids did tonight at their queer hangout.

This was a cute cozy mystery, but not one of my favorites. I actually found it a bit boring. But I did enjoy the setting at a Librarian‘s Conference. And the main character‘s Maine coon cat was a fun - if superfluous - addition.

This was my #ReadOrDonate selection for June. I‘ll bring it to our local Little Free Library. It would be a good beach read for our island‘s summer visitors - light, entertaining, and easily completed in a week.

Here‘s a late #hyggehourreadathon post. I was just too tired to post anything and make it make sense. :D

My youngest son and I read together because my youngest daughter was playing video games with her older siblings. My son got the Pokémon book because they gave away books to kids who signed up for the reading program at the library.

My son picked this one out, but it‘s a bit long for him. We‘ll be reading it over two nights. A bittersweet beginning to this book. Deals a little with death of a loved one. Mostly about transitions in life. Something I‘m not sure my son can remember since we‘ve finally stayed in the same place for two years. (He has trouble with long term memory.) Would be a good book to read if a child is moving to a new place.

Birthday book haul from River City Books in Soldotna, Alaska. I‘m planning on reading the tagged book first. I also ordered another one. 🙂

So cute! After a failed one night stand, Alexis, a shy school librarian, enters into a fake dating agreement with Texas gubernatorial candidate Logan, when a suggestive photo of them ends up online. I really liked both characters, and rooted for them!
