Welcome to Litsy!

I love animal stories, and find working dogs fascinating. I grew up with a drug detecting dog in my house and watching his training and drive was always so enthralling even if the dog himself was a big old butthead 😂 Interesting read, you can tell the author really loves dogs and what she does.

This is straight up supernatural horror, and an interesting read. I love how one of the main characters can literally see people‘s pain. What a fascinating concept - and a horrible burden. Good characters, multiverses, horror, atrocious acts, and also acts of love and family bonds. I liked the ending despite, or due to?, its ambiguity. Solid addition to the horror genre. #netgalley #arc #dogsoflitsy #rescuedogs

Wow. This book is an examination of mental illness, drawn from the author‘s own son‘s experience. I‘ve read books that deal with anxiety and depression, but never one that really digs into psychosis/schizophrenia. It was eye-opening and sad and beautifully written. It‘s in the “teen” genre because it‘s about a teenager but this story has a broad audience. Readers of all ages can learn from this book. #petsoflitsy #dogsoflitsy #loki #rescuedogs

If you enjoyed The Hazel Wood and The Night Country, you‘ll enjoy reading the origin stories of Alice Three Times and Twice Killed Katherine found in Tales from the Hinterland. Some of the stories wandered off a bit but many were more tightly written. All are dark, dreamy (nightmares), creepy takes on fairy tales. It‘s a great companion piece to the other two books. #petsoflitsy #dogsoflitsy #rescuedogs #cozyfire #fallvibes #netgalley #ARC

I enjoyed this book set in the 30s and appreciated the atmosphere. I did feel it was a bit slow in the middle and I started to get antsy waiting for something to happen. Then it picked back up but I have to say that, a few weeks later, I barely remember it. The picture is of #Klaus and our latest guest, an older gentleman who needs a new home and is trying us out. Hoping he ends up living out his golden years with us! #petsoflitsy #rescuedogs

As a dog rescue person I just have to have my dog themed section too. Whether it‘s about true stories of fighting dogs overcoming their struggles, dogs coming back from war, or fiction including dogs, this is where they go. 🐾💕

Happy #nationalpetday from Olive, who has heroically let me finish my book club homework with only minor interruptions 🐶 (and look! One of our books is even one of those “dogs cure everything” books, even if it features Great Pyrenees instead of beagles!) #homeschoolbookclub #kidlit

I thoroughly enjoyed this #nonfiction look into the world of service dogs- focusing mainly on psych services. It‘s an uplifting (though at other times rather tearjerking) listen that made me even more thankful for dogs in general! It‘s a fascinating listen read by the author herself- great for #AudioColoring but even better for #AudioWalking with a four-legged friend!

I loved this book. I volunteer for a humane society so the plot intrigued me. The characters were quirky and sweet. I was so thrilled to read an uplifting book. I‘m looking forward to reading more by Ellen Cooney

My boyfriend and I just rescued this sweet little boy together! Trouble is we have no idea what to name him! So I‘m putting out a call for help. Anyone have any ideas for names for this cutie? Bonus points for literary names but any ideas will help! #dogsoflitsy #rescuedogs
