How would I describe this book so far?

Necessary.

Anne Lamott is a gift. ❤️

Reading a favorite again. Francie Nolan and I are friends.

This is such an important book.

Excellent so far. Super cold outside, so it's a perfect day to stay inside and read.

#memoir

Excellent! Well-researched, interesting, scary, sobering...read it!

I'm 7 chapters into Tom Lake, but not exactly attached. Does this get more engaging? I'm probably half/half on Ann Patchett's books, and really want to like this one. Thoughts?

I bought myself books for my birthday. 🙂 Book mail is the best mail!

Ever since my mom died, I cry in H Mart.

Super excited about this. #CharlieIsMyDarling

Read this book. That's it, just read it. Even better, listen to it.

I can't reach my book.

Lucy and I are spending a quiet evening in the library to kick this year to the curb. I wish us all peace, strength, health, love, wisdom, and all the books our hearts desire. Oh, and the love of a cuddly kitty.

I'm pretty excited about starting this! I bought the hardcover, but decided I wanted him to read it to me. Medicinal purposes to heal a bit from the last four years.

Anyone else keep a notebook of favorite lines from books? I love looking back on words that spoke to me. My notebook was almost full, so I found this beauty to start a new one. Anyone care to share your favorite lines for me to add?

It sounds ridiculous, but Ruined by Reading is way too wordy. It was interesting, but the writing almost sounded pretentious. Just so-so. The cover would be a really cute tattoo, though. 🤷‍♀️

I chose this for my "years of service" gift at work, and it just came in today. I've had a paperwhite forever and decided to upgrade. So freaking excited!

One of these things doesn't belong there. 🤷‍♀️ #crazyDaisy #CatsOfLitsy

Lucy and I are looking forward to reading this one over the weekend.

This book is so good and very interesting, but the lists are driving me a little crazy. It's so distracting. I hope the narrator got paid per comma. 😬

#Overdrive

Really enjoying this book so far.

We finally settled on Daisy (gray) and Piper (white) for our new rescue babies. We love these spoiled little furballs already. 🥰😍 #CatsOfLitsy

We adopted these babies from our local rescue shelter yesterday, and we are having so much fun with them. No names yet, so I thought I'd ask the experts. Both girls. We usually go with literary or music names. Older cats are Mavis (the blues cat), Lola (she was a showgirl), and Lucy (Queen Lucy the Valiant). Any suggestions? Trying to get these girls to hold still for pictures is fun!

#Audiopuzzle today. I have a million things I should be getting done, but it's time to recharge. Hope you're all having a peaceful Sunday. Stay healthy!

So far:
Look how smart I am.
I saved this thing.
He wouldn't listen.
I'm so smart.
Look what I did.

Holy crap, this dude's ego is huge. Still 17 hours left. 🙄

#Overdrive

Listening to this on #Overdrive because I refuse to buy it. This guy has always been shitty, but keeping his mouth shut so he could cash in instead of standing up and having even a shred of morality makes him even nastier. The guy's no better than his former boss.

This book has consumed my day, my brain, and my heart. To know that it is inspired by true events is horrific and sickening. Read it, listen to it, but be prepared to live with it. This one stays with you.

#Overdrive

Lucy is not making it easy to read tonight.

This is such a sweet book!

Mavis and I are starting our weekend in the library. Hibernation is the theme of the day. A peaceful Saturday to you all, #littens

#CatsOfLitsy #MavisIsaBluesCat #LoveMyLibrary

Listening to Eddie Izzard on #Overdrive and making a few masks for work. At least they're fun prints. Hope you've all had a great weekend!

I'm old enough to remember this event, but didn't know the whole story. This book details so much. It really gives a good example of the blind devotion people have for some "leaders", as well as how power can drive someone to do horrible things. I swore I would read lighter fare this year, but it hasn't happened yet. Good book, interesting and tragic story, but definitely heavy.

#audiopuzzling on my rainy day off. The puzzle looks fun, but this book is disturbing.

#Audible

1. Tagged (audio), and Grace (Eventually) by Anne Lamott
2. When All is Said by Anne Griffin - staff pick at my favorite indie bookstore
3. The Girls of Atomic City was pretty good.

My plan involved cleaning up my deck on my day off. This seemed like a better idea. Everyone needs a little sanity break once in a while.

Just throwing this out there. I always feel like I should apologize the entire world, but rest assured, I didn't help get him there. Happy Sunday, #littens.

A wild Friday night at home, just like I like it.

#Audiopuzzling #Audible

Trying to finish my audiobook without disturbing Lucy. Cats have it made.

I swore I would read lighter books this year, but it hasn't happened. This one is really interesting.

#Overdrive

#Bookmail is the best mail, and I get to support my favorite local indie bookstore by shopping online. Win win!

A suitable tag for my tea this morning. I hope we're all learning to enjoy the simplicity a little more. Stay healthy, #littens.

Ha! "Chicken shittery" may be my new favorite term from a book. I'm so glad she's the narrator of her book.

Wild Saturday night at my house. 🙂 #AudioPuzzle

Lola is keeping me company this morning. I really need to get up and put clothes in the dryer, but she looks so comfy.

So this happened while I was sleeping. 50k... 🙂

This is the sweetest book. 💙

Catching up on housework and listening to #Audible. I'm determined to remain distracted by books for the entire weekend. Weekends are for recharging.

#Essential

I'm considered essential, so I've been working and trying to take all of the needed precautions. Not seeing family and close friends doesn't help the stress level during this mess. I just thought I'd check in and make sure my #Litsy friends are doing ok. We're all in this together. Take care of yourselves!

Finishing this one on #Overdrive. Nothing surprising, just pathetic to hear it all reinforced. Hoping for the best in November, but I'd be lying if I said I felt confident.

Just getting started, but this one looks fun.
