Welcome to Litsy!

I grew up with this book. They were naughty and lost their mittens, those three kittens. But mom saves the day. #ISpyBingoJan @TheAromaofBooks

Last night was one of our favourite school events of the year! Every year, they host a Snuggle Up and Read evening. Everyone comes to the school in their pajamas, and there are all sorts of literacy focused events throughout the school. It's the most cozy form of chaos, and the kids LOVE it!

Not book related but wanted to share some more cute kitten content. It‘s been a rough week, we deserve kittens. ❤️

Wishing all of you on Litsy the happiest new year! This year, I‘m hoping to get back into more classics after giving myself a bit of a break over the last couple years. I want to reread all of Jane Austen‘s work to celebrate her 250th birthday, tackle Proust‘s Swann‘s Way, Dickens‘ Hard Times, and a few others that have sat on my TBR too long. Of course, I‘ll also be picking up whatever looks good in the moment for fun too! Happy reading!

4 ⭐ Jeremy, the cat has gotten his first cone. An animal cone is something that keeps them from biting, scratching, and licking themselves after medical appointments. It‘s like a cast on a human. At first, Jeremy doesn‘t like their cone and derides that they‘ll never be the same again. Until they find some good features of their cone and then realize that there are advantages. This book was fun.

Tomorrow I‘ll post my end-of-year reading brackets with my top reads of 2024. These are the ones that made the “top of the bottom” list.

I got my #naughtylistholidayswap package today.
