Welcome to Litsy!

When @Robotswithpersonality posted their review of this manga I went searching in my kindle since I had a vague memory of purchasing this. Lo and behold there it was in my library. I enjoyed this one and the art. I now wish I had sprung for the physical copy so I could have given the art the admiration is deserves.

Spectacular. Certainly took some darker turns with more pathos than I initially anticipated, but the fantastical elements are gorgeously rendered and truly imaginative.
I'm usually a big grump about illustrated works in black and white/gray scale, but this was beautiful even without colour. To think I found out about it because of an ad in the back of a The Way of the Househusband manga! 1/?

In love with this book's spine.

@Eyelit lent me these cat-centric gems, and I am deeply excited 😻📚

A fellow Litten (can't remember who haha) reviewed this one not long ago. I've been trying to read more graphic novels and this one sounded intriguing, so I got it from the library. In the end, it wasn't for me. The artwork wasn't really my style, and the way the cats turned into creepy looking cat-people when they were alone kind of weirded me out. Still it was an intriguing story and a fast read. It was originally published in Japan and reads⬇️

This was a fun graphic novel with a light mystery. I love the idea of a bunch of cats living in the Louvre and having the run of the place and the grounds at night. It was cool to get some art history in with the story. I love that one of the cat characters was a Sphynx ❤️

Thanks for the loan @Eyelit !

I really ended up enjoying this even if ended up being more emotional, but I am a pregnant crazy cat lady after all 😆. The book is in manga format but has a French illustration style. This follows the lives of the cats who live in the attic of the Louvre, as well as the few humans who know of their presence. There's magic and imagination and loss, and of course Snowbebe (on the cover)

Surreal, charming, and bittersweet. Just what I needed this evening. If you like cats, art, and magical realism, you‘ll more than likely enjoy this enchanting tale.

No #bookreport this week because once again Netflix took over my evenings (#noregrets) - but I definitely need to make some headway in the stack pictured. Two are for book clubs I‘m in. One is borrowed. One is for a buddy read here. Bottom two are just for funsies (and sadly most likely to be picked up first, lol). I‘m very curious to what I‘ll actually read this week cause it‘s been an unpredictable month. 😄 #weeklyforecast

This unusual story tells of what happens in the Louvre at night with cats who live in the attic and get tangled with an old man who believes his sister is inside one of the paintings. It‘s a little confusing to start, but then quite sweet and sad. #bbrc #yeahbaby #catsnap

🇫🇷 Louvre + 🐾 Cats = 💗

Did my daughter and I choose this impulse buy because of the cover? Why, yes, we did! Beautiful artwork in this graphic novel and the cover feels like a canvas.

This was a bit odd but enchanting. The art was beautiful, although I found the human forms of the cats a little weird.

Could not resist buying this when I saw @TalecArashi post.

This is a good book.

Probably read the first 2-3 chapters to make sure you can understand the art style, though

I went to the bookstore at my new house!(!!!) I'm not done moving yet, but nearly all of my books are in a container & my PC isn't set up yet... gotta pass the time somehow! The book under Rori is a compilation of haiku. #CatsOfLitsy #manga #scifi
