Welcome to Litsy!

First snow of the year here in Detroit! Not a ton of it stuck, but it was still perfect weather for an evening walk with an audiobook. I love love love winter- bring on all the snow! #audiowalk #CurrentlyListening #DetroitLove #MittenLitten

My best friends and I do an annual reading getaway to an up-north cabin, and that weekend is finally here! Is 40 books too many? Inquiring minds would like to know... #CurrentlyReading #MittenLitten

Pic of a Michigan swamp on a recent #audiowalk as I listened to this deeply satisfying novel. Healer Herminie Zook, her precocious granddaughter, questionable fathers, and complicated independent women connect with the land and each other in the Great Missasauga Swamp. Loved it. Plenty of #chilling moments. #WickedWhispers #MittenLitten @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I keep an eye out for early editions of Maud Hart Lovelace's books in every used bookstore I go to. I've never been lucky enough to catch one in the wild until this past week! Lo and behold, a tiny, wonderful used bookstore in a tiny northern Michigan town had this glorious copy waiting for me. #BetsyTacy #MaudHartLovelace #MittenLitten

I got to read this lovely book by one of my favorite authors while staying in a cabin on 29 acres in Michigan's glorious "up north". It's been a wonderful week and getting to spend it digging into this love story was a great bonus. This one is slightly melancholy, as Rowell's books can be, but gives us an honest, bittersweet picture of how people can weave in and out of our lives through the decades. Lots of heart, definitely recommend.

So fun to recognize #StorySettings. Petoskey, Traverse City, and "Washed Cherries" signs bring back great memories as a #MittenLitten. As a teen, hubs worked landscaping at Grosse Point Yacht Club where Sabatian plays tennis and where I grew up on Lake St. Clair.

Nope! I wasn‘t reading this! Miss Priss made it home from her adventures today and she‘s exhausted! 🐾😽

I‘ve never really been a football fan, but it‘s growing on me! Did your team win?! 🏈

A snowstorm in Detroit knocked out our power, which also means we have no heat. 😳 At times likes these, I know I'm beyond lucky to have a working fireplace and a house full of books. Curling up with a blanket and this comfort read, and hoping we get power back soon! How are my fellow #MittenLittens doing? #CurrentlyReading

Always enjoy this author and #histfic based on true events, Paris, resistance. I see when I first posted this book I was drinking a French Merlot on a plane. Today it's a Mimosa with a bubbly "methode champenoise" from a Michigan winery. Continued appreciation for those who did and do resist in the struggle for justice, equally, and truth. #MittenLitten #FogCover #NewYearNewBooks @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
