Welcome to Litsy!

Up next for book club, and my current read. #FirstSaturdayReaders

Blacklisted actor Paul Robeson summed it up best in a letter he wrote to Charlie: "...fascists everywhere hated you for your anti-Nazi film, The Great Dictator. Well, Hitler and his gang are gone, but Chaplin and his art lives on! And your name will be honored --yes, here in America, too --long after McCarthy and his kind are buried in oblivion.".

Indeed.

It was intrinsically absurd...until Donald Trump.

I'm back from my brief hiatus. 💕

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to you all for your support these last couple of weeks. Losing Chaplin has been really difficult, and I'm still really struggling, but please know that all your kindness, comments, and generosity have absolutely been a bright spot in such a dark time. Thank you all so much! #catsoflitsy #chaplin

We lost Chaplin last night. 💔 He started going downhill Thursday night, but then last night he got worse so we took him in and they put him to sleep. 💔 I'm very grateful that he lived as long as he did - 2 years and 8 months after being diagnosed and the vet didn't think he'd make it to even one year - but it still doesn't make this easier. I know how loved he is within Litsy so I wanted to make sure everyone knew. 👇 #chaplin #catsoflitsy

I love all of Samantha Irby's books so far, so I'm really looking forward to her newest one! #catsoflitsy #chaplin

Happy Friday, Litsy peeps! 🎉🎉🎉 I hope everyone has a fun and exciting bookish weekend to look forward to! 💕📚 I'm really happy to FINALLY be starting this one today! I love Geraldine Brooks (The People of the Book was SO GOOD!) and I'm finally ready to dive into this one! #catsoflitsy #chaplin

Happy Book Birthday to this beauty! 🎉🎉🎉 Chaplin was super excited it arrived today! 💕📚 #catsoflitsy #chaplin

I am loving this so far! I didn't realize when I started it that it had Arthurian myths and legends in it! 😱 Plus a really unique magic system! Very awesome! 💕📚 Chaplin is loving it so far too! #catsoflitsy #chaplin
