Welcome to Litsy!

I sat down to read but then this happened. #catsoflitsy

I‘m trying to read the tagged because it‘s due back to the library and I‘ll be out of town for a week so I have to get it back later to finish, but then #DannyBoy said, “Mama, snuggles,” and put his paws in my hand 🥲

It‘s always a treat to pick up a book by Ware—perfect escapism, even if you kind of guess how things are going to go. I found I wanted to yell at Lo sometimes to be smart. Seriously, how many times can you keep second guessing yourself over a bad decision and yet still make bad decisions?!?

Fast paced and a good read for this time of year. #Zeke #CatsOfLitsy

When I first started this book, it seemed like the wife and mistress were going to end up together, and that felt weird to me. But now that I've read a bit, it seems to have a Love Actually type setup where there are multiple storylines overlapping so everyone gets their own love interest. So I'm enjoying it more.

Leaning deeply into preventative & maintenance based health rituals. I‘m not #falling for the wellness fads.
They‘re exhausting & I won‘t be contributing to overconsumption.

Next up, an anarchist zine collecting some essays on noncarceral approaches to crime and justice, mainly focusing on USA contexts and examples ⛓️‍💥✊🏴

I came home from work to find this ball of kitty fur curled up on top of my reading couch just waiting for me to return. #catsoflitsy
She just woke up & claimed my lap. 😸

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

A family saga bouncing back and forth through time about 3 Palestinian women living in America, trying to keep the customs of their culture but wanting more choices for themselves and their daughters.

Rated very highly on Goodreads and all my friends loved it but I found some of it predictable and repetitive. Maybe my expectations were too high? Still it‘s worth a read if you enjoy stories of women trying to overcome oppression.

Books from Brooklyn Book Fest!

4 free, a bunch in translation, some poetry too! Plus a tote with cats. 🐱 and my cat Hazel snuck into the picture 😂

Went over budget a bit but it was worth it.

I‘ll tag the books individually in the comments.
