Welcome to Litsy!

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii it's been a very busy week with one more Christmas market to do tomorrow and baking for it. But I do look for joys just for this challenge.
1. #WinterGames24 with co-host @StayCurious
2. Sold a candle set I made
3. My dog treats are selling well at the markets
4. I bought a bird feeder
5. Oakley took my side of the bed where she looked so cute I couldn't move her

My last book for the month. Will I finish it or will I carry it over? It‘s an #auldlangspine choice.

This was my #FoodAndLit pick for #Botswana

It was interesting to read about Mark and Delia‘s experiences living in the Kalahari desert and the relationships they made with the animals living there.
Even as a reader you become invested in the livelihood of the animals.

This is such an important read! For someone who doesn't know enough about conservation, it is a tough read, in that I had to keep going back over parts to understand what I was reading . .. but it is worth it. The illustrated edition is so beautiful and Angela Harding's prints are gorgeous 🥰 it is really good to share with children.

Happy Friday! Cats and books ... My favourite things 🩷 I'm currently reading 'Wilding' by Isabella Tree.

I liked this but found parts of it over the top. I liked the descriptions of the wilderness & the methods Alex used to study wolverines. I didn't like the absolutely bananapants criminal activity that she stumbled across, spoilers below, a& I found Alexis annoyingly preachy. Even when I agree with the message, which I do in this case-

Current progress:
DNF‘d Beartown for the second time
One win and one fail, and a third of the way through another.
Not mad about that. 😊

I was both amused and appalled by the stories Roach included in this book. Human- animal conflicts generally lead to attempts to get rid of the animals. This is why it never works for long.
