Welcome to Litsy!

With my local chapter of #JASNA we were fortunate to see a few selections of the rare books collection at the Detroit Public Library today. #MittenLitten

Isn‘t this just gorgeous?! 🥰

Fine Bindings, 1912, London
Poems by Tennyson
Moroccan leather with pearls and stones

We can't get Robin Hood flour in the States anymore. So, we took a little day trip today across the Blue Water Bridge (1st time in 50 years!) & picked up flour (best for pie crust and pasties), Coffee Crisp, & Red Rose #tea. "#Canada nice" proven by the woman who insisted on waiting for us in the parking lot to show us how to get to a restaurant she recommended. #MittenLitten

#LittleFreeLibrary has teamed up with the new The Librarians: The Next Chapter TV show on TNT. On Sunday May 25, 2025, the participating LFLs will have special show swag, between 12-2pm.

I‘m super excited there are two LFL near me - a new one too, in Michigan! #MittenLitten

My local library #SHPL in Southeast, MI ✋🏻 is celebrating Jane‘s birthday in June! I plan on attending 🥰

Finally getting around to reading this novel that I found some time ago second-hand. Only a few pages in, but enjoying it already. Also love reading about #Detroit. #MittenLitten. Happened to visit some second hand stores today and it felt like #TimelessLove of some forgotten treasures.

First snow of the year here in Detroit! Not a ton of it stuck, but it was still perfect weather for an evening walk with an audiobook. I love love love winter- bring on all the snow! #audiowalk #CurrentlyListening #DetroitLove #MittenLitten

My best friends and I do an annual reading getaway to an up-north cabin, and that weekend is finally here! Is 40 books too many? Inquiring minds would like to know... #CurrentlyReading #MittenLitten

Pic of a Michigan swamp on a recent #audiowalk as I listened to this deeply satisfying novel. Healer Herminie Zook, her precocious granddaughter, questionable fathers, and complicated independent women connect with the land and each other in the Great Missasauga Swamp. Loved it. Plenty of #chilling moments. #WickedWhispers #MittenLitten @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I keep an eye out for early editions of Maud Hart Lovelace's books in every used bookstore I go to. I've never been lucky enough to catch one in the wild until this past week! Lo and behold, a tiny, wonderful used bookstore in a tiny northern Michigan town had this glorious copy waiting for me. #BetsyTacy #MaudHartLovelace #MittenLitten
