Life has been so difficult lately, even more complicated with the horribleness in the world. But, at least in my tiny little part of my world, things may be getting better. May…every time I think we‘re good, we‘re not.

Thank you to everyone who expressed love and support the last few days for myself and Zeke and Xander.

Xander is back 100%; his not so good blood results are still in the back of my mind.

Zeke is slowly recovering…again. ⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ He had 5 medications over the weekend, and he is going through a food change to a more food sensitive diet. I see improvement, but I‘ve also seen it before. If he is still bad, more tests and procedures are on the horizon. Sleep has been nonexistent, as both Zeke and Xander want fed at all hours of the night. But, I have my boys. We‘re working through it. I am slowly reading again, and for my buddy reads, I have to play major catch up! ⬇️ 2d
CatLass007 Is Xander the top kitty and is Zeke the bottom kitty? I can‘t imagine how difficult it must be to have two cats sick at the same time. Personally, because it‘s so emotionally draining to have a sick cat, I‘d rather be sick myself, and the cat be healthy. 2d
Librarybelle ⬆️ I‘m just hoping we are all finally back on the mend and can move forward with our regular routines. My cats are my reading buddies, and I know how many of you are proud pet parents. And, sometimes, with how crappy everything is right now, you just need to see cats or dogs in the feed to put a smile on your face! #NotBookRelated #CatsOfLitsy #Zeke #Xander 2d

Librarybelle @CatLass007 Yes, Xander is the top kitty, and Zeke is the bottom. Xander also has a heart condition from birth, so his sudden illness made things even more complicated. He responded so well to the antibiotics that I sincerely hope he had an infection rather than the vet‘s thoughts that he has an autoimmune disease or even cancer. Personally, I think he ate something he should not have and got sick. Zeke has episodes of pancreatitis; this was bad. 2d
Bookwormjillk I hope they continue to improve! 2d

One of my reading buddies needs some extra thoughts, please!

Xander had his yearly cardiology appointment today—for those of you who do not know, Xander was born with a heart defect and will always have a heart murmur.

We got tough news today: two of his heart chambers has more fluid than they should. He‘s not in the danger “zone,” but his condition has been now moved to the stage preceding danger. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ He has even more medicine now to take and another appt in a few months. He was my brave little boy today, definitely because he was scared. My heart is broken at the moment, but I‘m hopeful that all of this medicine will bring down the fluid. Please think of him, and I will make sure he gets lots of cuddles today! #Xander #CatsOfLitsy 1mo
Luke-XVX I‘m sorry! Please give him a tickle from across the pond and rub those toe beans! 1mo

There are a few gem reflections in this, a book that purposely asks the reader to take their time reading. It‘s reflective and calming. Admittedly, there were a few times I did not quite agree with the author‘s musings, but that may be the point—it opens for good discussion. Overall, a lovely book. Great pick for the #MidWinterSolace #BuddyRead !

DogMomIrene That‘s how I‘m feeling too. Kind of between So-So and Low Pick. I‘m a little past halfway, so I need to pick this up more to finish. 1mo
Librarybelle @DogMomIrene It‘s a good reflection overall, but I‘m glad I picked it up at the library rather than buying a copy. 1mo

A whispering statue that looks like Nancy Drew. A collection of rare books that are involved in a swindle. Nancy again has two mysteries to solve, going undercover to collect the clues. This one is much better than the prior book in the series. And, like Bess, I really want a fudge sundae now.

Discussion tomorrow; questions will be posted mid- to late morning East Coast time. #NancyDrewBR

CogsOfEncouragement I thought about skipping it this month since the last couple had been duds and maybe I would be better off spending more time with a festive romcom but so glad I decided to stay the course! I‘m halfway thru and enjoying this one. 3mo
Librarybelle @CogsOfEncouragement I know what you mean! This one was really good. Maybe the last two were just duds??? 3mo
DGRachel Ugh. I‘ve been sick with pneumonia and haven‘t read a word in 4 days. I may have to sit this one out. Figures it would be good this time. 😭 3mo

Eve battles a terrifying enemy in this addition to the In Death series. Lots of violence, and Eve is once again wrestling with her emotions surrounding her personal life while also living through flashbacks of her horrific past. Another great one! #InDeathLongReadalong

I needed a super-fast read and a palate cleanser…Charlie and Diesel were the perfect choice!

A nasty, cruel boss, terrible department heads, and murders keep Charlie and Diesel pretty busy at the library. Sad to say a few characteristics of the murder victim are characteristics I witnessed in my library career. Yikes! Great character progression, and another good series entry!

Most of my sidekicks hovered in the background as I finished it.

Who would have thought a mysterious letter would cause so many issues??? Nancy breaks a postal regulation, is followed and attacked, and also has an altercation with a woman. Plus, she has to cheer on Ned at the football game! I‘m so loving the #NancyDrewBR ! Discussion on the 15th!

Bookwormjillk I gave up on my library and bought a kindle copy today. Looking forward to diving in. 9mo

Mehso-so

Admittedly, I almost stopped reading this one after the first couple of chapters - the actions of the main character just completely baffled me, and the response of those actions by law enforcement seemed completely wrong. Cozies are not meant to be real life, but this seemed over the top even for a cozy. The narrative did get better as the story progressed. Lots of suspects and mystery elements, plus a secondary mystery. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️The ending was pretty dramatic, a true nail biter. So-so read in the end for me. I received a copy of this from #NetGalley , so thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, and I had found a physical copy of the book along the way. #Zeke and #Xander are clearly ready for bed! #CatsOfLitsy 9mo

Librarybelle @KadaGul Shortly after this, they were both asleep and not quite ready to leave their spots by my pillows. 😂 9mo
KadaGul Ceto, Display Picture, she does the same thing. When I'm reading 📖 bed 🛏️. First, she wants to rub her body, to claim the book 📖 , every corner of the book. Then be right up the book 📖 like she can read it. The first 30 minutes go by, settling, and then the rest of the time is spent between her getting into a comfortable position and me comforting her. 9mo

Mehso-so

Nearly a pan read for me, but nudged up to a so-so, as I was curious how this would end. Think Austen with magic…in this case, skilled artisans practice glamours to manipulate the setting. I felt so bad for Jane, the MC, but at times her nearly martyr stance got on my nerves. Nearly everyone else was horrid.

I‘ve had this for years on my Nook app; thanks to #PemberLittens #JaneAdjacent for finally getting me to read this.

I just spent a month at Manderley…

This is a reread for me, and while I did not remember every twist and turn, I do remember the creepy vibes from this. It‘s a level of creepiness that slowly enfolds the reader and can make one shiver. That Mrs. Danvers…oh my! I loved it and am glad it was a #PemberLittens #HashtagBrigade read! #192025 #1938 #52BookClub24 #AnAbruptEnding

#Zeke #Vladimir #SebastianKitty #Xander #CatsOfLitsy

BarkingMadRead It was really creepy, esp Danvers! I don‘t remember that really bad scene from the first time! You‘d think it would stick, but it didn‘t 🤣 10mo
TheAromaofBooks Same!! It was a reread for me as well, but I was surprised at some of the scenes/details I'd forgotten. 10mo
Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks I know! Maybe it was Manderley‘s spell…we just could not remember all of the bad. 😂 10mo
