Wow, it‘s been much longer than I thought, Litsy! 2024 has been an extreme roller coaster over here. A couple of stress-relieving constants are cat cuddles and books. Been getting through quite a few spooky season reads! Looking forward to this one. #huey #catsoflitsy #botm
It‘s my orange reading buddy‘s gotcha day!! He‘s officially been helping me read for 5 years. 😻 Also this book is EXCELLENT!! #huey #catsoflitsy
Made it to 10 indie bookstores today! I‘m pooped and will be here for the rest of the evening. #caturday #indiebookstoreday #huey #catsoflitsy
Doing some #audiocrafting tonight. This book is a trip!! #huey #catsoflitsy
This Bookseat has been life changing for crafting while reading. Huey‘s also willing to work around it. 😹 #huey #catsoflitsy #crochet
I see to have picked up a little cold and also have the day off, so we‘re doing a little reading and crocheting. #huey #catsoflitsy
Starting this book with carryover anxiety from the last one. 😬 At least I have emotional support cuddles. #lennox #catsoflitsy
pickI don‘t remember the last time a book gave me stress sweats, but the counter just reset. 🫨 #huey #lennox #catsoflitsy
Always a sucker for book maps! This is a GIANT book to cart around in my backpack, but my doc was 30 minutes behind, so I‘m glad I had it!
I‘m about one third of the way through this and have absolutely no idea what is going on. #huey #catsoflitsy
pickIt takes probably 15-20 pages before my brain readjusts to reading manga, but I love this series. This storyline had me pretty stressed out though. 😬
pickHuey and I got through this book of short stories last night. Enjoyed feels like a weird word to use, but I will likely think about these stories for awhile. #huey #catsoflitsy
pickDespite buying this right when it came out…I just read it. Why did I wait so long? No idea. Am I glad I finally *get* the hype, yes. #lennox #catsoflitsy
pickI wasn‘t sure what to expect from this book when I picked it up, but it absolutely blew me away. I laughed, I cried, I cried harder. This will definitely end up on my faves list for the year. #huey #catsoflitsy #botm
This is one of those books where you pretty much hate every character. #lennox #catsoflitsy
Black Sun was my favorite book of 2023. Really looking forward to this second book in the series. Huey‘s making sure it smells like him. 😹 #huey #catsoflitsy
pickI enjoyed this collection of ghost stories! As with all short story collections, some were better than others. Overall, I found it to be a delightful read for spooky season.
Baba Yaga is one of my all-time favorite folktales. Needless to say, I am really enjoying this book. We get different perspectives, characters you love and characters you love to hate. It was so easy to get swept up in the story. I‘m about 60% through and have loved every minute. #botm
pickI was so late to this party! I read this in one sitting. Totally didn‘t expect what was revealed. I‘m also glad I waited until spooky season to pick it up. #huey #catsoflitsy #readharder
pickI INHALED this book. From the first chapter I was completely sucked in and didn‘t want to put it down. I‘ve had a lot of incredible reads so far this year, but this might be my favorite. Cannot wait to read the rest of the series. #lennox #catsoflitsy
On our way home from Buffalo, NY we got treated to a seat upgrade. First time that‘s happened to me. 🎉 This book immediately sucked me in and I actually wished our flight was longer so I could have had more uninterrupted reading time.
Daunt Books, no matter which location you visit, never disappoints. #london
Read this while on a couple train rides. One to Dover and back; one to Oxford and back. I really enjoy this series and the characters.
This was the coolest space! It was so much fun to wonder around and look at all the books and exhibits.
My kindle cover matched this beautiful chair too perfectly. Couldn‘t resist taking a photo. I‘m about halfway through the tagged book; it‘s wild but good so far.
Starting this on a flight tonight. I should be trying to sleep so hopefully it doesn‘t suck me in (I kinda think it will though).
Dr. Kendi is a must buy author for me. While this could have read like a textbook, Dr. Kendi‘s writing style makes it so compelling and easier to absorb all the dates and facts being thrown the readers way. Obviously an emotionally challenging book, but an important one. History just keeps repeating.
We did a “virtual” 5K today to raise money for a local cat rescue. Couldn‘t have had better weather. And now I get to sit and read for a spell while my other half farts around with his HAM radio.
pickI am very late picking this one up, but I loved it and think it‘s worthy of all the hype. That being said, I‘m in a book club of 4 and we were split right down the middle. 2 of us thought is was five stars, the other 2 gave it a meh. So wild!
A little #caturday reading and cuddling sesh with #huey. #catsoflitsy #readharder
I‘m only about 30 pages in, but so far this book is wild!! I have no idea what‘s going on and am not mad about it. #huey #catsoflitsy
Huey‘s in a very strange position while he helps me study up for #beltane. #huey #catsoflitsy
Here‘s a little photo of the interior of Books Upstairs in Dublin
Picked up a few books from Books Upstairs bookstore in Dublin, Ireland. It was a very cool shop!
pickDid some audio crafting while finishing up this book today. I already had a long list of parks to visit, but it grew listening to this book. Hopefully I‘ll get the chance to enjoy all of them. 🤞🏻 #audiocrafting
This is my first manga and it is taking me a bit of time getting used to the format. 🙃 Unrelated, I‘m heading to Dublin for the first time and wondered which bookstores are a must see? Anyone have some recommendations? I‘m all ears!!
pickAlso finished this book today and it was another winner. I flew through it (it isn‘t very long, but still). I loved most of the characters and enjoyed the story.
pickThis book was SO good!! There was magic, there was a mystery, there was suspense, there was family drama. It lacked nothing!!
Just started this book today and despite not being very far along am already entranced by it. Happy weekend, Littens!!
pickI‘m not feeling the greatest today, but the upside is I finished this book despite Huey causing me to have to read at a really weird angle for awhile. 😹 I appreciated his support. This book covered some really difficult topics and yet still managed to be uplifting. #huey #catsoflitsy
An icky day to be outside in Chicago, but perfect for books, tea, and cat cuddles. #lennox #huey #catsoflitsy
Seems like a very appropriate day to start this book. What a beautiful introduction. Happy love day, Littens! 💕
This book has been on my shelves since June 2017. 😬 Glad to be picking it up. Not sure what position. Huey is in or how it could possibly be comfortable… #huey #catsoflitsy
Reading about the Night Tiger with my little house Tiger. #huey #catsoflitsy #botm #readharder
pickParts of this book were particularly hard to read, but there were also many parts that were absolutely hilarious. I made sure to read each and every footnote. Fuzz is well written, informative, and entertaining. Be warned there‘s a lot of talk about animal deaths.
About halfway through and am enjoying this so far!! One of my favorite things about the @AardvarkBookClub books is their beautiful and smooth covers under the sleeve. I‘m a big fan! 😍
New book, new crochet project, regular cuddle buddy. #huey #catsoflitsy
More #audiocrafting today. Trying to wrap up the projects I started in 2022 before beginning new ones. This design is by Hook Line & Tinker. I‘m absolutely obsessed with this little gnome. It‘s giving me nostalgic David the Gnome feels.
