Welcome to Litsy!

We're hiding in the basement from all the hammering on the house. Edgar is not a fan of this siding project.

I found this picture on Facebook and wrote this #haiku about it.

This is one that's always on my radar but never made it to TBR pile. Until book club picked it!
I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd anticipated. I wasn't keen on TH White biographies, I'd rather read about her life, and her late father's.
Her prise on landscape and country was beautiful.
I struggled with the taming of Mabel as it's not something I support and see it as cruel.

Amazon's destruction of James Bond has begun. They released a series of posters of the actors who've played James Bond. Do you notice anything odd? They have photo shopped the pictures to remove the gun from Bond's hand and even in his shoulder holster. Rumor has it they also plan to remove the iconic gun symbol from 007. A small thing with all that's wrong in the world, but I'll be interested to hear the reason behind the changes #notbookrelated

Second book in a row I could not put down. A baby magpie falls from a tree and Marnie rescues it, much to the annoyance of her husband. Tama becomes a household pet and a viral sensation. Tama is ostracized by her magpie family but adored by Marnie and barely tolerated by hubby. This is a surprisingly tense story and, as the author always manages to do, it was a reading-race-to-the-end for me. A very complete & enjoyable read. TW:DV. #offtheshelf

September wrap up, pretty decent month!

I‘m catsitting in my old neighborhood. The house is on a street backed up against a large swath of woods. Lake Champlain is just around the corner. Several porches on different levels of the house with comfy couches, one of which I‘m on right now napping and reading, napping and reading. It‘s a glorious day.

Definitely a good one for the fall season. All of them just a bit creepy that leave you feeling unsettled in an interesting way. I love her writing style. I wouldn‘t say I necessarily enjoyed the characters or plot of the stories as much as the style and feel.

Here‘s my list for October #ReadYourEbooks. As I predicted, I read none of the picked books for September, although I did read one that wasn‘t picked, so that‘s a win! I‘m still pretty focused on the NBA lists this month, so we‘ll see how I do with this.
