Welcome to Litsy!

Did you know (I didn‘t) that the cashew is not a nut? It‘s the seed of a cashew apple, classified as a “drupe.” The book, “A Tree a Day,” inspired me to research this - there is a page devoted to The Cashew of Pirangi in Brazil - it‘s enormous! #naturalitsy #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending tonight‘s #HyggeHoyr with Nancy Drew in the old attic for #NancyDrewBR

Drinking iced green tea & having a few senbei (Japanese rice crackers) for some savory crunch.

My mood is a bit sad that 4 days from work went so quickly & the fact that it‘s Monday tomorrow.😵‍💫

I completely missed posting my joys on Friday because it‘s been an incredibly busy week, and all the days have kind of blurred together. This morning, though, I had the chance to enjoy some quiet time out on the front porch with the dogs, an iced coffee, and a book before church. It was lovely.

Here‘s my July #readyourkindle picks. #10 is one of the books from the #naturalitsy buddy read. I‘m hoping to read 3 of the books from the reading list this month and maybe read the July book if I have time. I‘m trying to catch up with the buddy read. The last 3 picks are Kindle Unlimited prompts. I have 20 books checked out on there right now to read. 20 is the limit you can check out but I haven‘t had time to read them.

These are my July #roll100 picks. #64 is the June #LSFBC pick that I didn‘t get around to reading. #84 is the next book I‘ll be reading for #naturalitsy. I‘m working on catching up with the buddy read. #46 is the next short story I‘m reading this month for the #christiescapers buddy read.

Here‘s my #bookspinbingo July picks. My #bookspin is the short story we‘re reading for #christiescapers this month. My #doublespin is the July book for #naturalitsy. I don‘t know if I‘ll get around to reading it because I‘m still behind on the #naturalitsy buddy read.

#Naturalitsy This will take me more than this month to read, but that‘s ok. Fascinated!

Good morning! I did a little bit of catching up last night to finish the June pages of this book. We‘re halfway through and I continue to really enjoy these stories of various trees. Today we start July with this quote which I‘ve heard variations of throughout my life. It‘s a wonderful way to consider your impact on the future.

Here‘s how I did on my #readyourkindle list in June. I started Royal Assassin for #realmofelderlings buddy read but I only read the prologue. I finished a series for #serieslove2025. I read some of the books on the #naturalitsy list. I started the short story for #christiescapers but I didn‘t finish it before the end of the month. I read the short stories for #noplacelikeholmes and I read the #whimsicalreadsbookclub book.
