Welcome to Litsy!

Christmas is over,
the new year is underway —
time for a vacation.

Is it just me or is anybody else a little burnt out right now? I‘ve got the January blues. 😌

#StorySettings Day 26: From Fats‘ review: “Katie and the Mona Lisa tells the grand adventures that Katie and Mona Lisa had in the #museum, as they try to find something that would make Mona Lisa smile. This book includes reproductions of five art pieces of the Italian Renaissance including St. George and the Dragon by Raphael and The Lion of St. Mark by Vittore Carpaccio.”

Happy Friday! Maya is at a friend‘s house this weekend, Dr Hubby is on a solo retreat in the mountains for some well-earned R&R.

Which means I have the house to myself! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Let the weekend of reading begin! 📚

The kittens are now bigger than a book! They are growing so fast. #catsoflitsy #MonaLisa #kittensoflitsy

I didn‘t know a lot about this book going in, which I think is a good thing. This collection of stories, all interconnected in some way, examine the effect of a virus released from the melting Arctic permafrost, and it‘s devastating impact around the world. I can‘t wait to discuss the 2nd half in a few days with #CampLitsy.

The cuteness!!! Look who came and curled up on my lap while I was reading the tagged book.

These two. I can‘t handle the level of adorableness in our house right now. 😻🫶🏼 #catsoflitsy #kittensoflitsy #MonaLisa

My 3rd and final book for #20in4 readathon this weekend! I actually liked the 2nd book more than the first. My daughter used to read Akissi, a picture book series by this author, and I love that Akissi is in this series as the little sister!

Lisa is still smaller than a book, but both kittens are growing quickly! #MonaLisa #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram

My library book stack for Memorial Day weekend! And another #MonaLisa photobomb. #catsoflitsy #kittensoflitsy

Meet Mona + Lisa! #MonaLisa

Yes, 2 of the 4 rescue kittens extended their stay indefinitely at our cat hotel. 🥰 #catsoflitsy

It took me ages to finish the last 1/4 of this book, because I had accidentally come across a spoiler and I was dreading it happening. However, I LOVED this book and the duology and can‘t wait to read more books set in the Groshaverse!

Another great Peter May read. Spans 3 generations from war-torn London, the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, Berlin and Vichy France. Part of Enzo Files series. How are 2 deaths 70 years apart related to the Mona Lisa painting which the Louvre has moved to chateaus to keep one step ahead of Germans? The present day timeline is autumn 2020 as France re-enters COVID lockdown.
