Welcome to Litsy!

This is from a small book published by Obvious State, titled Women Writers Collected Works & Poems, illustrated by Evan Robertson.
Appropriate for today,given the airplane/helicopter tragedy & our illustrious leader‘s response- not mourning with the families,but blaming DEI for the crash.

A little morning affirmation

Not in Litsy database: I got this on a Stuff Your Kindle Day.
Soft Pick
It was pretty cute. I‘m a big wrestling fan so I liked picking out all the inspo. At first Elle was driving me crazy, Logan wasn‘t much of a grump for a “grumpy bartender” but as they got a better read on eachother it was really sweet and the 3rd act conflict was so fun.

There are a smattering of misspellings/typos, so fair warning.

Someone reminded me today was a good day to get re-acquainted with my digital library

Meet Augustus…..my eldest found him outside very emaciated. So we have taken him in, set him up a nice home and are feeding him yummy crickets. He is easily handled too and very friendly.

Curious if anyone has one of the Kobos that let you write on it with a stylus? Thoughts on whether it‘s worth it and how it compares to, say, writing on an iPad?

I do love the day my book subscription comes ❤️

Awwwe, 6 years of fun 🥰

We are having a hard 24 hours here. Yesterday we lost this baby girl, Midnight. She was our last rat. We have had rats non stop pretty much for 19 years. We are not getting any more as with my husband unwell everyone is taking on so much. Then when my husband was cleaning our ladies out (mice) we noticed our Sage who was 2 had passed. She was fine the day before. It‘s the end of our rattie era. I‘m going to miss them

I'm going to use this weekend to wrap on my 2024 reads because I want to get better about posting my reads as I finish them 😂

I'm pretty bad about posting my current reads here... So very bad at that but I'm going to try to get better 🤞🏼

MY 2024 Listening Bracket. I knew nothing was going to top The Great Alone.

Happy New Year! 🥳💙

I came on Litsy cause I hoping to find a readathon! I‘ve been trying to read daily and finding things to keep me motivated, this will help 🥰 Thanks @Andrew65 for hosting 😁📚

I truely loved reading this book by Densey Clyne. It was published one year before she passed and reading her words you can feel the enthusiasm she had for the life of the macro all around her. I had not realised she has passed, she was part of my childhood being on tv a bit and she made a lasting impression on me.

I might have developed an appreciation for entomology but this guy was not welcome in the car today! We believe it‘s a hawk wasp (huntsman hawk) and apparently can be aggressive. With a sting the most painful of wasps (so he can immobilise huntsman) He was not welcome to buzz at my head!

My morning companion while the house was still fully asleep. And such. Delightful companion she is too.

Now I thought wolf spiders were the only ones to do this. Happy to find out otherwise!

I got my #jolabokaflodswap and mailed mine off. I am so excited!

My reading buddy today, in her new collar all the ay from the US

If you have cats, you know exactly where the writer comes from with a cats view of this classic poem. Great illustrations. Working on #ISpyBingoDec #WinterGames24 #HolidayBookDragons @StayCurious @TheAromaofBooks

Meet our newest outdoor critter. This Blue Tongue has decided she is going to share the back yard….and the cat food. Sometimes she grabs the bowl with her mouth and tries to drag it away! My youngest has named her Petra. She is not young either, she is really a large bluey

I can‘t find this book listed on here anywhere, but it‘s the one I‘m going to start tonight.m

I personally did not enjoy it. Maybe not a book for me.

Book 245 of the year.

Interesting

It‘s the end of the year and I‘m finally feeling like I can sit down and read a book. This year has been so busy with finishing school, going on a month long trip to Scotland, getting a classroom, having to leave my class due to being sick, best friend having my god daughter and I‘m sure I‘m missing some key events 😂
With that being said I‘m excited to be back and participating in one of my fav litsy traditions! Here‘s my #bookspin Dec list 🥰

@Chrissyreadit thank you bunches for the #cbbc box. All the goodies were very appreciated. I didn‘t get a pic.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate 🦃🥧🤎

109/150 I didn't like this one as much as the first book, the humor was pulled back in favor of a more mainstream kind of sci-fi adventure. Isaac learns more about his past while looking for the person who stole the best idea in the universe, while also dealing with an intergalactic war, the destruction of his robot partner/lover, and the return of a villain thought despatched in the first book. The book does commit one unpardonable sin, ⬇️

This is Oliver, the patient care dog at the clinic I go to. Isn‘t he adorable. He is styling in his crocs and hat.

This was so surreal and I loved it. It was so much about womenhood. I have never read anything from Polish author but this was an amazing start.

I cannot find it on Litsy: Heksy by Agnieszka Szpila

Fashion is my passion.
I love some fashion history.

Help! I‘ve been in a reading slump for over 2 months. I miss reading but I also don‘t have any motivation to pick up a book. Every book I‘ve tried to pick up either didn‘t sound interesting, it was predictable, flat out boring, or I just couldn‘t focus. What did you do to get over your reading slump? Also, any book recommendations are always appreciated ❤️

Author Joe Hill is easily one of my favorite horror writers. And why wouldn‘t he be — he‘s the son of Stephen King! I‘ve read all of his novels and short story collections, so I was excited when I learned from Joe‘s newsletter that his latest short story, Ushers, was available on Amazon‘s First Reads for the month of October. ??

I'm scared to finish this book because I'm going to have to wait for the 3rd book to come out 😬😬😬. But I'm loving it so much 🫠🥲!

The Flower House by Nicky Black

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has a great sense of foreboding throughout which compelled me to keep turning the pages. The characters are all very complex, some of them not very likeable. The plot is a gripping one. I love dual timeline stories set in older properties, involving families and their secrets - this one certainly fulfilled my wishes in all parameters. Highly recommended. #TBC on Facebook
