I was very sad to hear that a much beloved fantasy author has recently passed away. R.I.P. Patricia McKillip. ❤️ I have loved her books for a long time, and here are some of my favorites. 📚💕
These lovely gems arrived today! Happy publications day to the newest Guy Gavriel Kay book! Does anyone else love his work? I find his writing to be so exquisitely beautiful! ❤️📖❤️ #bookmail
I received this promotional poster for preordering the tagged book! 📚💕 I forgot this was coming, especially since I canceled my original preorder when I chose it for my Book of the Month pick! Oops! 😳 Isn't the artwork so pretty? 😍

I'm only about 50 or so pages in but I have already cackled out loud many times! I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH ALREADY! 😄📖💕
Happy Monday! 💙 Reading outside this morning before heading in to work! 🌿📖💕 Excited to be starting the first Miss Marple book! It's been a really long time since I've read these stories, so I'm looking forward to rediscovering this one!
It's still in the high 80's today so I'll only be at the park for a little while until I start to melt! ☀️ Aside from the heat it's a gorgeous day to be reading outside! 🌿📖 I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!
Okay, for me, it would most definitely be The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon! It's one of my top five favorite books ever, and it's long enough that it should take me awhile to read it over and over! 😄📖💕
What book would YOU pick? 📚
Aaaaaand here are the rest of the new Miss Marple editions that I ordered! 😂📚💕 I'm not going to lie...they all look REALLY GOOD together! I'm a little bit obsessed, to be honest! 😍 The next available one (The Mirror Crack'd from side to side) comes out this Tuesday and of course I pre-ordered it! 😁
It's in the high 89's today, and it feels like we skipped spring and went right into summer! 💙☀️🌿 Reading down by the creek provides the exact amount of refreshing vibes! 📖🍃
"She said I have no life "
"You're in books. Of course you don't have a life. There's always something too good to read."
I feel called out! ???
Did I order the new editions of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple books after seeing Scott's post about them? Yes. Yes, I did. 😍🌺📚 I didn't previously own any of the Marple books so I figured now was a good time to get them!

Happy Friday! 🎉🎊🎉
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far! Rumpel and I are so invested in this book right now, it's ridiculous! I loved Middlegame so much and this next book is proving just as mysterious and exciting! 💛📖 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #rumpel
What does it mean to be a good neighbor? What is the impact of simple kindnesses? These are the two questions at the very core of this lovely book. If you love Barnhill's, The Girl Who Drank the Moon, I think you will also enjoy this one! Beautifully written, whimsical, and poignant! 📚🌺
All the trees next to the library are finally in bloom! 💮💕 Took this one to work with me today, even though I knew I wouldn't have time to start it. Sometimes new books are just too exciting to leave home! 😄📚
Chaplin and I are hoping to finish this one soon - it is EXCELLENT so far! 😍 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #chaplin
Hooray for book mail! 📚👍🏻📫 These two lovely preorders arrived today! I'm especially excited for the tagged book as I love this author and it's their
middle grade debut! 💕
Happy Tuesday, littens! 😄 My book review videos are up for the week! I can't stop thinking about the tagged book, so of course I had to feature it in my video for adults! 😅 If you could give them a watch and a like, I would very much appreciate it! ❤ 📚

Up next! 📖♥️ I must be on a Kelly Barnhill kick, since I just finished her new adult book and now I'm moving on to her newest middle grade book! 📚💕
Mondays are tough! But! I believe in you; we've got this! 👍💕 Let's get through this Monday together! 🎉 And as I like to remember - there will be books waiting for us to explore when we get done with work for the day! 😄📚♥️
Starting this one next! It's finally just warm enough to enjoy some ice cream! 😄📖🍦
Happy Sunday! 🥳🎉 I just hit the halfway point in this book and so far I am really loving it! I think it might end up being my favorite Emily Henry book to date! 💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #jupiterjazz
Is there anything better than reading a brand new book out on the balcony with a summer beer!? Best Saturday ever! 😁📖🍺
Happy Saturday! 🎉🎉🎉 New Emily Henry book, here I come! 😁💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #rumpel
"Willowgrove is the first time she's been around Christianity, and so to her, that's what faith is: judgmental, sanctimonious hypocrites hiding hate behind Bible verses and charismatic white pastors with all the horrible secrets that money can protect. She's never even stepped inside a church where she felt safe. But she also knows that Alabama is more than Willowgrove. And if that's true, maybe faith can mean more too."
This had me bawling! ?
"When Chloe tries to explain what she loves so much about high school theater, even though she'll probably never set foot on another stage after graduation, she always ends up at this: the chaos of backstage. Sitting on the dressing room floor in a sweaty wig cap eating a box of McNuggets someone's mom dropped off; the delirious, unsupervised hours between the morning and evening shows on a Saturday."
I remember those high school theater days! ?
Okay, this one took me completely by surprise and stole my heart! All the stars for this book - one of my favorite fantasy reads of the year so far! 💕📚 It's got so much heart and made me laugh out loud many times. And there's a dog made out of bones! BONEDOG! 🐾
PS- I love finding these positive affirmation stones that people paint and then leave at the park for others to find. They always make me smile! This one says 'you are doing great.' ❤
Chaplin is a great bookish friend - he always keeps me company while reading and helps me choose which book to read next! 😽 He's been especially happy to have me home and all to himself this week! (I mean, he DOES have to share me with his little sisters, but still!) 💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #chaplin
I made some new reading friends today! 🐸💕📚
Finally getting some sunshine today! ☀️🌿 It's wonderful to read with that gorgeous blue sky above me! 💙
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs
☄ Yes, sometimes! Especially if I'm reading right before bed!
☄ Probably The Hobbit! I've read it so many times!
☄ To complete as much reading as I can and also to relax as much as I can before the craziness if summer reading begins!
"If I were a man, I would fight him. If she were a man, no one would force Kania to try to bear child after child. If I were a man, I would not be the next in line to be married if he kills her. If we were men... She stared at her fingers curled in the dirt. It did not matter. They were not, and the history of the world was written in women's wombs and women's blood and she would never be allowed to change it."
Ooof. ? This hits hard.
I just hit the halfway point in this one! I am so in love with this story and these characters! 💕📚💕 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #rumpel #pickleschallenge
It's raining off and on today, but that hasn't stopped me from my bookish walk! 😄🌿📖 In between bouts of rain I am able to take my book out to read, and then when it starts up again it's back into my bag it goes! 😁 I love sunny days, but there is something really magical about being outside in the woods when it's raining!
I just started this book today and so far it's been perfect to read outside - especially on such a cloudy day! 🌿📚💕 It's dark and wild and twisty; I adore it so far!
It makes me so happy to see all the green started to show on all the trees and bushes! 🌿
I forgot to post my book haul from yesterday, which was massive! 😲 These are the treasures I received from my hubby! So many exciting books I don't know where to start! 💕📚💕
#bookhaul #birthdaybookhaul
For me, it was most definitely They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. I freaking SOBBED through the last 50 pages of that heartbreaker! 💔
What's the last book that made YOU cry? 📚
Time for cake! 😋🎂💕
Birthday dinner at my favorite restaurant! Mmmm, yummy hibachi! 😋🍛
I had a friend come and join me while reading at the creek! ❤🦌📚
