Litsy

For those of you who might not know, it‘s with a very heavy heart that I share the loss of a dear friend that I “met” here on Litsy…Elisabeth Anderson (@eanderson).

Elisabeth fought hard and bravely against cancer for 4 years before gaining peace last month.

She was a sweet, dear person, who shared insightful and often funny reviews of her favorite books. And she especially loved her some Kim Stone. 😉😊🕵🏻‍♀️

The Princess of Las Vegas | Chris Bohjalian

Last night, I had the privilege of hearing @ChrisBohjalian speak about his new book at my local #indiebookstore, Quail Ridge Books. What made it even better was having my friends and fellow Littens @MallenNC and @Graciouswarriorprincess there too!
This book sounds so good and I can‘t wait to read it!

tpixie What a great event & #LitsyMeetUp ! Even @ChrisBohjalian is a #Litten ! 🎴 👑 ♥️♦️ (edited) 13mo

Pretty Poison | Lynne Barron

In my early days as a #Litten I thought I'd start posting books I wanted to read with a woman holding something #BehindHerBack. Especially loved The Magician's Lie & The Book of Lost Names. @tpixie joined in 3 years ago with The Engineer's Wife, which was also really good. Then I guess I gave up. Anyway, Pretty Poison is one of the several I never read. #NewYearNewBooks #InvolvesPoison @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Southernmost | Silas House

Decided to go through my Litsy TBR to find a #NewYearNewBooks #TitleBeginsWithS. Yikes! Pic above is my list before I gave up trying to get through it all. Thankfully, I have reviews from #Littens to narrow the field. Though #Litten reviews is how my #tbr got so long in the first place. 😀 📚 🤩 Starting with tagged book from Libby. @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Great List 👍🏼👌🏼🙌🏻 1y

I thought, but he screwed around with a minor student!! Lol But now I need to change my mindset to the biblical Ezra.Then again, it seems almost more like a Jewish name than a Catholic.

The Story of Us: A Novel | Catherine Hernandez

Hello! Holy moly was that ever a good nap. I don‘t want to brag or anything because I understand that sleep gets progressively crappy as we age, but wow. That was restorative. I think I grew a little. What do you think? Does my onesie look tight on me now? Have my cheeks gotten fuller? I feel fuller.

KathyWheeler What a cutie! 2y

marleed I read this as an 8 mo sleeps soundly on my chest. And yes I believe he‘s growing as my finger attempts to type! 2y

Lindy @marleed @KathyWheeler @tpixie hey, Marlee! Glad to hear someone is having a good nap. 😊 2y

tpixie @marleed precious 👶🏼 a future #Litten 2y

The Cloisters | Katy Hays

Can't wait to read this one; just announced today as Jenna's #bookclub pick. Reposting this collage of the Cloisters from a past visit, originally posted 6 years ago when I first became a #litten. What a joy to scroll through old postings and reminisce about special books and this special community of readers. Thank you all. #NYC
