Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s been years since I read the early books in the series, so I thought I would mix in a few with the newer ones I‘m still getting caught up on. I just love Meg, Michael and Meg‘s whole goofy family! Things start off pretty differently from what they become in later books, but the wackiness is there! It was also written 25 years ago, so it reads a little differently too. This one was quite a story with A LOT going on!

This is one of my favorite series. I reread it when I‘m stressed or sad or both. It is far from perfect; some of the language is very 90‘s as is the general viewpoint. But it‘s lighthearted and funny and was the first thing to make me laugh when my mom passed. #pop23 #bookthatiwishicouldreadforthefirsttime #iknowthatisnotapeacock

July sucked. I didn‘t realize how much it sucked until I looked through my feed and found I really didn‘t have anything to show for the month. All I read were comfort reads. (Pictured is a character from the lobster fest I found myself at.)

I finally finished a book. It‘s been 11 days since I finished anything. I kind of wish I‘d bailed on this one. I know part of the problem is that I‘ve been sick for 4 weeks now, which is why this isn‘t a pan, but the story just seemed blah. I never cared about the characters and the ending felt rather ridiculous. I didn‘t hate it, but I‘ll probably forget it by morning. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The audio itself was fine, but there was a lot of wedding… and three bridezillas. I found some of the wedding traditions odd. I‘m not sure why Meg was in charge of planning three weddings for other people; for a while, I thought maybe she was a wedding planner, but nope. Overall, it was ok. I won‘t be continuing the series

First in the series, barely a pick for me. I know it was supposed to be humorous but I struggled with a main character who was a doormat & a bigot who had no use for the “gay guy” except that she had no problem using him to solve many of the problems that she took on herself. The narrator had a voice that frayed my nerves. The father was the redeeming character although the author did him dirty when it came to solving the mystery. 2 ⭐️ ⬇️

Audiocrafting again tonight. Y‘all the coffin lid opens! 🧛‍♂️🧙‍♀️🎃

Stamping now under way. #scarathlon #buddyread

Some of you have asked how I make my cards. Here, bottom, dies are loaded to cut paper in my die-cutting machine (a Sizzix), and at top are some of the cut-outs. After this they will get stamped, colored, and assembled. #scarathlon #buddyread @Clwojick

Getting ready to make Halloween cards while listening to this book. #scarathlon #buddyread

I‘m struggling with this one, a #buddyread for #teamslaughter. I will finish it but I dislike most of the characters (except the dad), and especially the main character, for reasons I‘m putting in a spoiler below. I was hoping for a light read, and it is, but it‘s hitting a low point for me.

Such a quaint story so far, just perfect for my mode this month.

Book 113/150.

Spending this evening tucked in bed wearing my softest jammies and snuggling with my babies. Also drinking tea, enjoying candles, and reading the tagged book which is a delightful cozy that is entirely too long. Hope you are all as snug as I am this evening. #iloveOctober

My cozy aesthetic. Tagged is the first book of one of my favorite series. It's one of the few that I manage to keep up with new releases. Most I'm behind on.

She was very much enjoying kneading my fuzzy bathrobe and perching on my knee, but she‘s already run off. Not the best reading buddy tonight with the storm! #Chloe #catsoflitsy #tuxedokittiesoflitsy @MinDea She has such a little goblin face in this picture, it‘s cracking me up!

I couldn‘t resist starting this one from my #FFFS box this morning, after such enthusiastic recommendations from @mabell and @Suzze
#Edie joined me for some equally enthusiastic purring kitty snuggles. 😻 #catsoflitsy

Good cozy! Screwball without driving me insane, just perfect!

Just finished the first Meg Langslow book, and pretty sure I am hooked. I thought I had it figured out from the beginning, but she got me! Luckily, this volume is the first and second book in one, so I am headed right back for more.

Lazy summer afternoon

I'm not very far in, but all I want to do is sit and eat this book up. Why must work get in my way?

I believe she is thinking, "it smells like a good book." #bookbuddy #boxerdog #cozymystery
