Welcome to Litsy!

This was an adorable picture book!
A great story of our little owl with a big dream and with the support of his parents and his own ambition makes it happen.

Not a lot of text, but lots of illustrations that helped the story along and for me that makes it a great picture book to share with kids.

“A knight is brave, a night is bold, but most of all a knight is kind,”

I think that this book would be a great use in this classroom and it could be a good lesson about chasing your dreams and being kind as well as being brave..

I'm caught up. I can barely believe there are only 2 months left. 🙀

For the first time in a long time I had a good reading month! I whipped through Megan O‘Brien‘s Talon Security and Ride Series 2nd Generation- I couldn‘t get enough. But I think my favourite read of the month was The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches that I read with #LittensLoveRomance - Hoping to keep up the reading momentum this month.

16 books finished for October and very few were spooky season reads. Oops. In my defense, though, there was a surprise new Smiley, and that overrides just about all other considerations.

Great things this month!

I‘ll do my official wrap up later, but I keep up with my #bookspin board all month. I bailed halfway through my bookspin, didn‘t get to the #doublespin, but still managed a #bookspinbingo by 7:30 last night.

I had 67 Netgalley books on my Oct TBR. I read 9 of them and then on Oct 25, my dog passed away and I decided to mood read for the rest of the month. There was no way I was going to read all 67 books on my Oct TBR and a lot of them were nonfiction books. Nonfiction requires more brain power and I‘m not in the mood for that anymore so I‘m going to mood read in Nov and probably in Dec too just so I can read whatever I want.

Here‘s what my October TBR looks like now at the end of the month. I implemented my color coding system again. After my dog Toppy passed away on 10/25, I added a new section called Not Right Now which means I‘ll read the books later but not right now. I‘m not in the right headspace for nonfiction anymore. This was too much. This is 67 books. There was no way I was going to read all of these books this month.
