Nathan W. Pyles first picture book in his New York Times bestselling Strange Planet series! Based on his popular Instagram comics, Nathan W. Pyle presents a delightful, heartfelt, and clever picture book that young and old beings alike will enjoy reading together. When the nearest star rises, Lifegiver has an exciting quest planned for Offspring! Follow along as they observe a strange creature that sneaks, hides, and vibrates around their house. Hilarity ensues as the blue beings try to mimic this talented creature. As always, Nathan W. Pyle draws humor from his unique perspective on human activity and delivers a colorful experience that is an ode to cats and humans alike. This book is a joy to read and share, no matter how many revolutions youve made around the nearest star.

Sometimes in can be so easy to lift others up before you lift yourself. But just remember "I am a beacon of joy". You have people who love you and care for you.
And if I ever doubt this... my cat still needs me to feed her everyday, so she HAS to love me. ?

@Librariana This is us buying last-minute books 😉

If I announce it here, I have to at least TRY:

DESSERT-FREE JANUARY

Those of you who enjoy my constant dessert posts will be disappointed by this, but I'm planning a dessert detox as my first NY resolution.

I will allow fruit, smoothies, slimfast shakes etc. but NO desserts, cake, chocolate, sweets, Full-Sugar Coke, syrup sponge etc etc.

Other resolutions will follow 😇

MicheleinPhilly Oh damn! You‘re going hardcore! 2y
JenReadsAlot That's impressive! 2y
RaeLovesToRead @MicheleinPhilly 2023 has been a year of sugar, sugar and more sugar 🤤🤤. I need to see if cutting it out makes a difference to a) my energy levels, b) how I feel in general and c) my weight... how many days do you reckon I'll go before falling face first into a tiramisu? Feel free to start a sweepstake 🤣🤣 2y

RaeLovesToRead @JenReadsAlot It will be if I can do it... 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Wish me luck! 🍀🍀🍀🍀 2y
Librariana Yes!! The resemblance to us is uncanny! 😉 The fact of the matter is that we have good intentions! 😁😊 2y
AnneCecilie I hope you manage to do this. I have tried to stay away from chocolate in the past and it‘s hard. For me the first 2-3 days was the hardest so if you manage to stay away for those days, I fully believe you will manage. 2y
JenReadsAlot Good luck! I wish I had more motivation or I would be joining you! 2y
MicheleinPhilly HA! I‘m lucky in that I don‘t actually care for sweets. I‘m a freak, I know. Unluckily I prefer my sugar to come in wine form so I‘ll be suffering through dry January. 😒 2y
Branwen Good luck! I'm rooting for you! 🎉🎉🎉 But also I'm sad on your behalf as well! 😂 2y
batsy Oh nooooo (me being selfish about the dessert pics!) Good luck! 2y
RaeLovesToRead @AnneCecilie @JenReadsAlot @Branwen @batsy Thanks for the encouragement! I'm sure I'll be back to posting desserts (in moderation ofc.) by Feb. I hope I can make it through the month 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 2y
RaeLovesToRead @MicheleinPhilly Knowing me, I will probably get to Day 3 and, in my sugar-deprived state, take up binge drinking and chain smoking instead 🤣🤣🤣 2y

A Christmas gift for my niece. I thought it appropriate from her crazy cat lady aunt 😂
It's a cute way to talk about a kitty's behavior in Pyle's customary alien speak. I can't wait until Jolene is a little older and we can act this one out together ❤️

Wow! @alexus_sb you have put together such a wonderful #hauntedhallowswap box. Thank you sooo much, I feel really spoiled. The books are great and the goodies look so yummy! And don't worry about what you thought might offend, I'm totally not offended and really excited to peruse them. I'm sorry it took me so long to post. I worked yesterday and then hosted my nibbling for a sleepover.
Thank you @wanderinglynn for hosting!

I think we‘ve all seen comics from this author on social media, as he has a few that are book/reading related. Due to my previous exposure, I was excited to read this from Hoopla recently. The author is so clever in how he approaches common social interactions from an outside perspective (of aliens in this case). The illustrations are simple, but colorful and visually appealing. I look forward to getting my hands on his other newer collection.

Throw the orb! ?? Or don't ?‍♀️?

For me, the "Big Game" is background noise while life continues.

But this sequence by Nathan Pyle (possibly included in the tagged title) captures this slice of Americana in a humorous and clever way.

I feel more attractive.
Honestly, you are.
It‘s the star damage.
I CRAVE STAR DAMAGE!

This one was a quirky and funny look at a distant world that's very similar to our own and how aliens deal with every day situations and scenarios that us humans do in our daily life.

Perfect little book to read in bed at night with a cuppa tea.

If you‘re a fan of the comics, then you should love this book!

Another Strange Planet. This one feels personal. A losing battle with my cat is one of several reasons why I don't put a tree up. It's not the main reason. The main reason is laziness and lack of holiday spirit. 🎄😸
