Welcome to Litsy!

#TomKitten might not be sure about this book, but I definitely am: it's a solid pick from me! A bisexual lady vigilante who kills abusive dudes by poisoning pies?! Bakery business-owner by day, misandrist and revenge-seeker by night?! There is literally nothing to not like, including the fact that the story rushes by so quick and breezy while still making you fall for Daisy and her found family and her delicious-sounding pies. A total winner!

#TomKitten and I are completely sucked into Book 3 of Kristin. Life back at Jørundgård is bittersweet, as Kristin grapples with memories of the past and the sometimes stark reality of the present. I hope I can stay fully spoiler-free as I continue to read because this is nothing less than gripping and I can't wait for all of the twists as turns as I come closer to the (sadly) inevitable end. I'm so glad I finally took the plunge on this series!

I'll be reading overtime this week to finish Book 2, and just as I'm trying to make some progress, #TomKitten comes along to throw a wrench in the plans. 😂 He may be cute but I did have to shoo him away after I took the picture; the story is too good to stop for long! ##DoorstopKristin #KLBR #CatsOfLitsy

The last few days have been tough, no doubt. Losing a pet is such a hard life event. But I'm slowly feeling better and looking for joy in time with #TomKitten and a highly anticipated new edition of a book I love to hate and hate to love. Maybe I'll do a January buddy read of this one; it's too sunny and lovely to dig into now, but seems the perfect thing for very grey days!

Another backyard picnic, this time with a fun, kinda dumb beachy read and my #TomKitten nearby. 🖤🩵🩷

No meme because #TomKitten joined in today to inspect the reading and gave a look which exactly sums up my feelings about the General. The man himself arranges a trip to Woodston to show it off for Catherine but is so domineering that she has no idea what to say, lest she risk his wrath. He also puts down the village, the landscape, and the house itself at every turn and she can't politely contradict him, so really, General, just stfu please. 🙄

I made a stack of books to reshelve; he knocked them over and promptly laid down. #menace #TomKitten #CatsOfLitsy

Tom the Book Thief strikes again! #CurrentlyReading #TomKitten #CatsOfLitsy

As a cat-obsessed 7 year-old, Socks was the first Beverly Cleary book I ever read. In a fit of nostalgia, I bought this old copy and my cat-loving heart has only softened with age because what do you mean they threw their beloved pet out and made him live in the garage?!?! Cleary's descriptions of Socks' loneliness and bewilderment in the midst of a new baby coming still tug at my heart and made me hug my own #TomKitten and #ColeCat more closely.

In case anyone's wondering why the reading's gotten so slow... #TomKitten #CatsOfLitsy #menace
