Welcome to Litsy!

Had to use another web photo because the cat left as soon as I grabbed my phone. 😹😹😹

I‘m a big Lucy fan. Had this pic on my phone and it made me think of all of the times a random man has told me I should smile more.😒 Dunno about you all but it used to make me so mad! Had it happen all the time in college especially. I‘m so sorry that I have resting bitch face ™️ — I really can‘t help it! 😆

To the next man who
tells you to “smile more” — take
a cue from Lucy.

I was hoping to post this yesterday to keep on track with my #100DayProject2025, but after I sprained my ankle🙄, my day kinda went off the rails. Anyway, this was a sweet story about a cat and a man, both in need of each other, and their early days together. I haven‘t read manga in a while and it took me a minute to get the hang of it again! But once I did, I really enjoyed this. Looking forward to the next in the series. 💜🐾 3/50

Summer Sunday! ☀️📖🍺

I like summertime, but I really hate this intense heat! Luckily, I have a covered balcony and a cold beer while reading about Carl and Princess Donut!

Happy Fourth of July 🎉

As always, I‘m grateful for my kitties, Sadie and Nicky. 😻 They just turned 12, and Nicky is having some health challenges, but they‘re still the best reading buddies ever. #catsoflitsy

Thanks for the tag, @eggs 😸

Adventures in weeding. I tried reading the Warrior series and DNF after 5 pages. Maybe I should start with book 5? I almost never read a whole series.

If you know, you know!!!! 🐈😽📚💳

(But, this is what my husband and I refer to as returning books to the library…dropping them off in the Dewey Box)!

This is a weird book. And it is about how cats tamed us. However, I think it's rather hard on cats, and I refuse to believe that Druzy's only interest in me is that I feed her. The historical parts are rather fascinating. The little cat in the corner is the felis silvestris lybica, the most direct ancestor of the housecat. Unlike dog breeds, different cat breeds are the result of breeding mutations, not different ancestors 🐈

June turned out to be a reasonably good month for reading after all. I had my doubts a few times! Starter Villain was my favorite, though there were some other contenders.

I finished Cocaine Blues in the wee hours of the morning and enjoyed it. Entertaining and compelling, while also addressing some serious issues that unfortunately persist today.
