Welcome to Litsy!

Is a nice story. Enzo is a great narrator and I read the book in a flash. Nevertheless is a predictable story and I am not a fan of racing so....

I love McKay's!! I seriously didn't need any more books, but it IS summer! #teachersoflitsy #bookhaul

Lovely #litsymeetup with @Libby1 #litsyni

It was so nice to meet you today! 😀

This is the next book for our book club. I‘ve heard I need to buy a box of Kleenex to use as I read this book . It‘s already starting to make me cry as it opens with a quote from Ayrton Senna. One of the best Formula 1 🏎 racing drivers ever. His death in 1994 at the Sam Marino Race in Italy was truly a sad day for racing fans. He was ONE of the best.

Yes you can like 📚 & 🏎 .

I love, love, love books that involve dogs! This one is my favorite.

Are there any books you‘ll pick up simply because of what is on the cover without much thought to what it is about?

When all my #bookmail comes at once that means I have to hurry and put them on my shelf before my husband comes home 😂 He DID witness me selling/swapping about 8 books the past two weeks so maybe he'll forgive me 😏

This one will make you cry like a baby, especially if you're a dog-lover like me. Loved every page.

Totally accurate in my house.

A good quick read. Engaging story, but wasn‘t very enjoyable for me. The lawsuit was very stressful and hit a little too close to home (but hey that‘s good writing). Also I was constantly wondering why Enzo was so excited to be human all while noting flaws of humans. I got a little resolution on that front during his thoughts in the final chapters! I cried a lot and this book was emotionally draining for me. #BFLS

I am only on page 5 and feel the tears surfacing. I don‘t know if I can emotionally handle this book.

4/5
Okay, I cried my eyes out. I may be biased because I am a big animal lover, especially dogs. And I know some may think this book is silly because it‘s in the POV of a dog. But, I don‘t care. This book made me laugh and cry. It made me appreciate my little buddy even more and for that I am grateful. If you love dogs, animals or just want to read about love, I recommend! My heart is full. ♥️

Rain, wind, cold - I haven't read the tagged book, but not losing my hat and keeping my hood on my head while walking uphill against the wind made me think of this book.

Now it's sunshine and puffy clouds outside, but physiotherapy wiped me out. (Further improvement of my walking style is needed - got the rolling, now I need to concentrate on the tilt in the pelvis and not drawing my shoulders up to my ears.)

This is a beautiful book. It‘s narrated by Enzo a dog. A very wise dog. It‘s sad but it‘s funny and heartwarming too. Simple and profound. I laughed and I cried. I read it in 2 sittings. The photo is of Archie my doggy, who is sleeping on my bed where he shouldn‘t be..on my patchwork quilt😬I didn‘t have the heart to remove him after reading this book..highly recommended😍

Happy Christmas Eve Littens. Hope you have a wonderful day planned which involves fun times & maybe a few chapters.
I love this book & be warned it is a tear jerker. A complicated family life told from the perspective of the Dog.
Thought I would share pictures of the best dogs EVER - Boson (top) & Maverick (bottom). Miss them every day

~A heart-breaking, endearing book about appreciating life and the quirks of humanity told from a unique perspective that appeals to dog-lovers. I could fill a journal with all the beautiful quotes from this book. ❤️

I really love this stack of thrift store finds I bought for the Hatteras house back in the summer. Maybe some of the family will pick up some good reading when they visit. A librarian can hope, right? 📚📚📚

Mamas boy. My sweet baby angel sitting by me as I read. He makes my heart full #dogmom #motherofdogs #moose ❤❤❤❤

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The first book to make me cry!

This was truly a remarkable book that had me experiencing joy, anger, sadness, excitement (I love racing, so knowing some of the places and the terms was cool!) all in one great story. There are so many great lessons to be learned from Enzo, the dog who narrates the story, and his family. Highly recommend!

Oh sweet Enzo 💕 I devoured this wonderful story.

And sometimes an old soul of a dog can perhaps teach us more than humans do. In this sad, beautiful and wonderfully written tale one finds a solace that resonates within you. A terribly touching story of love, kindness, family, loss, perseverance and of course racing in the rain. A perfect read for quiet, quiet afternoons.
P.S: Be ready with a box of tissue.

Library book sale today! These are my lucky finds. My husband had me up early, waiting in line for the library doors to open this morning.

This book was required summer reading for my student‘s son who is in high school. She passed it on to me.

I‘ve always been a dog person, so this audiobook didn‘t disappoint. This story was a quick and sweet listen.

@callielafleur This is such a good stack of books!! My favorite read this year was the tagged book, it was such a sweet read 😊🐶 Thank you for hosting this #ClearingtheShelves3 #giveaway 😁

Enjoyed this book. Heavy content. Makes me appreciate my doggo. Also makes me want to hug him forever.

Starting this today. I work at the Porsche Experience Center in Los Angeles so this is a hot book at work and has been recommended to me three times. Plus they‘re making it into a movie. So here we go...

Been listening to this at work, but I forgot my headphones today- good thing my library had the ebook available! #i❤️mylibrary #minutemanlibrarynetwork #libbyapp

“[On TV] I learned about other cultures and ways of life. They talk a lot about Darwin. I don‘t understand why people insist on pitting the concepts of evolution & creation against each other. Why can‘t they see that spiritualism & science are one? That bodies evolve and souls evolve and the universe is a fluid place that marries them both in a wonderful package called the human being. What‘s wrong with that idea?”

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Did anyone get through this without tearing up?

Enzo watches from his furry POV as his owner & friend, Denny, marries Eve, who births Zoe, and he tries/fails to alert the family of disaster brewing in Eve's body. Enzo's musings frequently curse his inability to speak (& lack of thumbs) which may have kept him from saving her.

The idea is so simple/sweet: to get an in-depth look on relationships between man & wife, man & child, and man & dog. 🤧

Still on my tbr list!!

This is the first book I thought of for #purplerain I haven‘t read it, even though I hear it is amazing. If I did my eyes would rain - a lot! ☔️💜

Audio-crafting & absolutely loving this sweet book. 🐶💜

I‘m happy to have Enzo as my companion while I intermittently burn my fingertips with the hot glue I‘m using to affix ribbon to these little candle jars. It‘s a wedding project I‘ve been putting off for weeks but it‘s much more fun than I thought it would be.

So good! Anyone loving dogs should read. ❤️

I was lucky enough to get this audiobook from the library for my book club. Lots of errands today so it‘s moving along. Love it!

I liked the story being told from the perspective of the dog Enzo, but the rest of the book just bored me. #catsoflitsy

Lazy #caturday here! Not sure I'm loving this book like so many others.

I begrudgingly read this book after it was recommended to me because I was told it would make me appreciate my dog more than I already do. I swore off books like this after I read Lily and the Octopus. I didn‘t completely break down with this read, like I feared. I really enjoyed the dog as narrator and it definitely makes me wonder what mine is thinking. I really want the perspective portrayed in this book on dog death to be true. 🐾❤️🐾

I was told this book will bring #tearsonmypillow .

#juneitselectrifying

I liked the idea of a dog narrator. So I enjoyed the first half of the book . But then there was a change in plot which just seemed to be an unnecessary pile on and kind of ruined the rest of it for me .

Read it for my Facebook book club "The Not Face To Face Book Club" and holy cow! I love this book! Such a great story of families, relationships, and getting through difficult times. Told from a dog's perspective just makes it that much better!

"He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave."

Such a bittersweet story ???

Doggie narrator! Really into this book. Heart wrenching, funny and insightful. And all from a dog 🐕

@BethM he has a fabulous signature 😍
