Welcome to Litsy!

I think I have a #crush on this sweet book (and also realize I missed Saturday). Emilia promises her father on his death bed that she will keep his bookshop open. That was before she realized the severity of the financial situation but she is determined to #nevergiveup. Like any good book store Nightingale Books touches the lives of many people and this book tells their stories along with Emilia's. #augustgrrrls

Being 16 is #complicated enough but Nomi is also dealing with the disappearance of her mother and sister, the rift religion made in her family, and life in a small town. #augustgrrrls

Another book from my TBR for #badgirls. This ebook was on sale recently and I couldn't resist. #augustgrrrls

Way back in the mists of time, I nearly finished a@philosophy degree (having a baby and a divorce one after the other kind of detracts from study). But I still have my #think -y books, which date back prior to digital copies.

Elizabeth Gould must have been a strong #independentwoman - although a wife and mother, she also worked for her husband, producing hundreds of lithographs to illustrate John Gould's work. She even travelled with him to Van Dieman's land, leaving her children at home, so she could help in the documentation of Australia's bird life.

This copy is sans dust jacket and features her lithographs on the cover and fly sheets.

I'm not sure about #perfectillusion - this is probably more a #purrfectillusion . How cute is this guy? My daughter recently referred to him as the 'marshmallow of death'. You wouldn't believe the puncture wounds I recently received from him trying to steal my dinner and then overbalancing!
