A pretty book is the perfect thing needed for a Monday! 😄💕📚
pickOkay guys, this book? Absolutely incredible! 💕📖 Equal parts beautiful and grotesque, savage and tender, I loved every word of this book! Highly recommend!
I had a very much needed day off today - so I spent it frolicking in the woods! 🌿🍄📖 I just received this book yesterday from Owlcrate, and I'm super excited to start it! Isn't it beautiful?!
NEW BOOK TUESDAY! 🩷📚🩷📚🩷
Hi Litsy family! 🥰 Sorry I've been MIA the past couple of weeks, I was getting ready for our big author event at the library! Last night we hosted Katherine Center! 💕📚 She is an absolute delight as an author and person! So funny, kind, and down to earth! I had the absolute joy of going out to dinner with her before the event, and of course had a ton of her books signed! It was a great success!
My Waterstones edition of Alchemised arrived and it's SO BEAUTIFUL ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? 😱
New werewolf book just in time for the beginning of October! Vampires are typically my favorite monster, but I've definitely been drawn to werewolves a lot lately 🐾🐺
Anyone else reading this after watching the show? 👀 Don't judge me, okay? 😂
I just had my honorary Boo Batter ice cream yesterday to celebrate the beginning of October! 🎃👻🍁🍂 I know it looks a bit weird, but it tastes delicious!
An oldie but a goodie! 💕📚 I remember reading and enjoying this book a long time ago when it first came out, back in the early 2000s I think? So when I saw this collector's edition I had to grab it! It's been fun to revisit!
My weeklong staycation has officially started! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I'm so so excited to spend day after day reading, snacking, drinking copious amounts of tea, snuggling with the kitties, and running around the woods! 📚🌿 I'm starting with these two - the last Rachel Harrison books I need to read so that I can say I've read all her work! 🩷
Alchemised officially came out today! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This girl is HEFTY! 1024 pages total!
I just picked up this new edition of Frankenstein at Barnes & Noble last night! Okay, if you are looking to purchase Frankenstein - this is the one to get! Not only does it have a cool cover and gorgeous page edges, but it also has the original introduction from Mary Shelley AND Polidori's and Byron's stories from the night Frankenstein was created! It's really awesome! 💕📚
Litsy family, I made a Stephen King appreciation music video for his birthday with some library coworkers! 😂 It would really mean a lot to me if you could watch it, like it, comment on it, whatever you feel like! 💗 📚 Thank you so much in advance!

HAPPY 78TH BIRTHDAY, STEPHEN KING!!! 🥳🎉🎈🎂
Stephen King remains one of my favorite authors of all time! Even though his stories are mostly thought of as horror, many of them are also funny, witty, thought-provoking, and poignant! And some of his books are even life-changing - I'm looking at you, Rose Madder! 🩷
If you didn't already know, RACHEL HARRISON HAS A NEW BOOK OUT! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I really come to adore her feminist horror novels, and this one looks particularly exciting! 💜💜💜
Nothing better than some Stephen King on a Friday night! 💕📚
Since it's official spooky season now (YES, spooky season starts on September first in my mind!) I'm lining up some of the horror books I'm hoping to start this month! 🎃🍁🍂🍄👻
HAPPY SEPTEMBER! 🎃🍂🍁🍄 We are officially entering the best four months of the year, the -ber months! 💕
THE BOOK OF THE MONTH CHOICES ARE LIVE! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I was SUPER hyped when I saw the selections for September! What did everyone else pick?
After obsessing over the gorgeousness of this book for the past few days, I'm officially ready to start reading it! 😂💚💚💚 Kingfisher hasn't let me down yet! Everything I've read by her so far has been amazing!
I just recently decided that I really want to own and read all of Stephen King's books (and books of short stories)! I just recently purchased this one - it's a much older book of his from early in his career - and I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm actually really enjoying it so far! Who else has read this one? 🐾
Look what came out today! 💚💚💚 T. Kingfisher is always such a delight to read! 🥰
This is a great start, honestly! 🤣😂
I just worked the past seven days in a row, so I'm especially grateful for my 3-day weekend which starts today! 🥰 I spent the morning in bed reading, then went to the park for some more reading! 🌿 💕📚
Rumpel wanted me to tell everyone that she thinks this might be one of her favorite thrillers of the year so far! 💕📚 The story is so unique and we can't put it down! #catsoflitsy #rumpel
My Illunicrate edition of 'The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy' arrived, and I think it might just be the prettiest book ever! 🩷🩷🩷 #illumicrate
The August Book of the Month choices went live this morning! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 What is everyone getting this month? I was very pleased with the selections! Lots of fantasy and even a young adult book! I tagged the extra book I got because it wouldn't fit on the page! 🤭💕📚 I also really love that book of the month is starting to offer books with beautiful sprayed page edges! #botm
Reading with Rumpel before work this morning! 💕📚 #catsoflitsy #rumpel
HOLLY JACKSON'S ADULT DEBUT IS OUT TODAY! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I really love her young adult books, so I'm really excited for this one!
Even during a parade, I find time to read! 🤣📚
This past weekend was Founder's Festival in my town! 💕 Which means I got to be in the parade with the library! It was so much fun and definitely one of my favorite days of the year!
OMG, a new restaurant opened in town and they have the BEST chicken tenders I have ever eaten! 😱 And the fries were amazing too!
Went to the park before work today to get some reading in! The woods were so nice and cool! 📚🌿
I ran a book painting program for the library teens earlier this week! I painted this one along with them and I think it came out really nice! 🩷🖤🩷🖤
You know it's going to be a good day when a new Ruth Ware book comes out! 🥳🎉🎉🎉
Now let's hope I don't have to remember a lot about the first book - because it's been many years since I first read The Woman in Cabin 10! 😂
Summer Sunday! ☀️📖🍺
I like summertime, but I really hate this intense heat! Luckily, I have a covered balcony and a cold beer while reading about Carl and Princess Donut!
I'm about a quarter of the way through this one, and I'm absolutely loving it! I really love a romance that can make me laugh out loud! ☺️📚

Meeting Joe Hill was one of the best author encounters I have ever experienced! He was so sweet and kind, and wildly funny! I'm diving into his new book immediately! And guess what?! It has a dragon! 🥳🐉📖
Okay, out of all the books I managed to get the conference, I narrowed these down to the ones I am the absolute MOST excited to read! The new Joe Hill book! The Raven Boys graphic novel! The new Priory of the Orange Tree prequel by Samantha Shannon! The new John Irving! AND KATABASIS BY R.F. KUANG!!! 😍
Okay friends - I made it through all four days of ALA! Are you ready for the final number of ARCs (and a few already published) books I managed to snag? 170! 😂📚📚📚
My husband was NOT exactly thrilled when he saw how many books we now had to fit into our home! 🤭 To be fair though, I'm not keeping ALL of them! I'm bringing some of them back to my library for my coworkers! 💕
Day Two of my library conference has yielded me 63 more free books! 😱 I'm up to 117 total so far! 🤣😂 📚📚📚
I'm at the American Library Association conference this weekend, and today was the first day! I managed to score 54 free ARCs so I think that could be considered a successful day! 🤭💕📚
It was strawberry shortcake day at the farmer's market today! 🍓🍰 Luckily I was able to get some and get home before the oppressive heat kicked in!
I didn't realize that Annie Hartnett had a new book out, but as soon as I did I scrambled to get a copy! Unlikely Animals and Rabbit Cake are such phenomenal books, so I have really high hopes for this one! 🩷📚
Summer of Smut Weeks 1 and 2! ☀️🔥
Beautiful Venom by Rina Kent
Problematic Summer Romance
This was my first book by Rina Kent, and I really enjoyed it! She has a ton of books, so I'm excited to dive into the rest of her works. It's a dark romance though, so make sure you read the trigger warnings before deciding to start this one!
Ali Hazelwood NEVER disappoints, and this one in particular was fantastic! 🥰
#summerofsmut
The way this book series has such a hold on me is absolutely electrifying! 💕📖 I'm obsessed!
