Welcome to Litsy!

Our #tree this year. I love the soft glow the lights provide as I'm winding down in the evening.#Christmascheer

I am becoming fascinated by her quality of attention. I'm starting to believe in what Barry Lopez has called "the conversation of death”: something he saw in the exchange of glances between caribou and hunting wolves, a wordless negotiation that ends up with them working out whether they will become hunter and hunted, or passers-by.

These short stories are intense. I have read and loved du Maurier‘s novels, but I had no idea she had written short stories or that they would scare the bejesus out of me. It‘s a subtle kind of spine tingling scare. You shudder and kind of look over your shoulder. They are so good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii it's been a very busy week with one more Christmas market to do tomorrow and baking for it. But I do look for joys just for this challenge.
1. #WinterGames24 with co-host @StayCurious
2. Sold a candle set I made
3. My dog treats are selling well at the markets
4. I bought a bird feeder
5. Oakley took my side of the bed where she looked so cute I couldn't move her

Another pleasant little book about birds, but make it by Amy Tan!?! Yes please! This is just a delight for nature lovers and the illustrations are superb, which Tan taught herself to do. This is another one of those to dip in and out of throughout the year as it doesn‘t need to be read in one go. I did lost n to her narrate it though which also added some extra depth to the experience. So I guess do bot: print and audio!

November Fiction #ReadingBracket2024
It was difficult to pick my favorite this month. I read a few really unique romances

On my IG feed. I completely agree! Sharing some seasonal sentiments.

“Some birds build with twigs and leaves, others with grasses, mud, or even spiders webs”

I might use this in a lesson about animals and habitats

I really liked how it was in different POVs of the animals. Great illustrations
