(Forgot a pic of the book, so here‘s #DannyBoy being sulky I moved and dislodged him)

I love this series. That is all.

Low pick for this one. Lucy and Duncan get their first assignment as Royal Saboteurs in this fourth book of the series (read it as a standalone and it worked). Lucy is hyper-competitive and Duncan is hopelessly in love with her. Undercover in the Prime Minister‘s household, they must uncover a plot, apprehend the villain, and protect a little boy - while unraveling their feelings. I liked the depths to Duncan‘s story and want to read more 👇🏻

ravenlee …of this series. #DannyBoy disapproved of me reading on my iPad but may forgive me if squeezy treats appear (not today, buddy) #catsofLitsy 1mo
ravenlee I read an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. 1mo

RaeLovesToRead Look at that sulky face!!! 😍😅 1mo
ravenlee @RaeLovesToRead I saw that same face again this morning when the squeezy treat was gone. Apparently I am a monster. 1mo
ravenlee @dabbe @kspenmoll Danny accepts your adoration as his due. And encourages both scritches and squeezy treats from his worshippers. 1mo

Mehso-so

Woohee…the book itself is ok. You know how sometimes a character asks a question just so someone else can show off in their answer, to show off how smart the author is? Welcome to this book. “I‘m Jules Verne and I did tons of marine research for this book so here it is” info dump, over and over. The voyage itself was actually interesting, but it was maybe 20% of the book. No idea how this is a “classic,” TBH. 👇🏻

ravenlee This audio version specifically is a mess. Chapters out of order is the least of it. Worst narrator ever. She mispronounced everything! Including salmon, incomparable, and Glasgow 😳. Also, for some inexplicable reason she gave Ned Land, Canadian, specifically from Quebec, this weird hillbilly accent?! I can‘t even… 2mo
ravenlee My biggest complaint about the book itself is the ending. Very much like Verne couldn‘t figure out how to get out of the corner he painted himself into regarding Nemo, so he just…didn‘t. Irritating. 2mo
ravenlee #dannyboy #catsoflitsy Cat tax, as Danny‘s the most interesting thing around me at the moment. 2mo

Ruthiella I agree. I must have read an abridged version as a child because when I reread it as an adult, I was so BORED by the endless description… I remember liking Mysterious Island a lot, which is kind of a sequel (to Nemo‘s story, not the Professor‘s). (edited) 2mo

The slightly less loving version of Danny snuggles. Apparently it was rude of me not to want His Highness‘ rear end directly on my face.

Bklover Cute punkin!! Love his nose!!🩷 2mo
dabbe Oh, you Darling Danny! Of course Mama loves your butt! My Kate loves to do this, too, only she's a German shepherd! 🖤🐾🖤 2mo
RaeLovesToRead Hahaha. I had a similar experience with Pickles while trying to do my pension forms 🤣🤣 2mo
ravenlee @dabbe maybe they‘re trying to teach us animal etiquette. It‘s probably rude not to sniff another dog‘s butt, and they‘re trying to help us overcome our social awkwardness! 2mo
dabbe @ravenlee I love that thought! And they must love us a lot to share their most - er - prized possession! 🤩 2mo

Trying to get going on this one but #DannyBoy has something to say about that. He had a front paw sticking out and as kiddo went by she shook his paw and said, “And a very good day to you, too, sir.” Made me laugh. #catsofLitsy #Litsyscifibookclub

#DannyBoy has spent most of this afternoon like this. It‘s his second time on my side, and two spells on my chest or lap. Oops, he didn‘t like the jostling and shifted to my feet (his usual favorite spot). It‘s too hot to do much else, but not too hot for snuggles.

Well, it‘s been a crazy time here in NWLA. Friday early morning we had a severe thunderstorm that knocked out power to almost 300k customers. Ours went out about 1:30 AM. Our temps have been in the mid-90s and humidity upwards of 80%, mostly sunny but with additional storms popping up. Thanks to herculean effort by utility crews, many from other areas, our neighborhood came back up Saturday night, but our street didn‘t. Continued 👇🏻

ravenlee We finally got power back yesterday around 12:30 PM, or about 83 hours later. We lost everything in our fridge/freezer, we spent one night with friends (who lost power during another storm that night but got it back the next morning) and another at a hotel. The cat was ok but not great, but #DannyBoy is feeling friendly and frisky again. We‘re very happy to be in our own home again, with lights and air conditioning! 5mo
ravenlee I did actually get some reading done, because we had to be as sloth-like as possible to avoid heat exhaustion. Reviews to come later today. Trying to get back to normal this week, while a lot of our area is still without power. 5mo
bookishbitch So sorry to hear! Being without power is rough. 5mo

Ruthiella Glad you are back home and got at least some reading done. Poor kitty. They really don‘t like that kind of upheaval. 😻 5mo
Suet624 I‘m so sorry to hear and really glad you‘re back home. 5mo
Lindy Sounds rough. Glad to hear you are safely home. 🌻 5mo
ravenlee Thank you @bookishbitch @Suet624 @Lindy it was certainly an adventure! 5mo
ravenlee Thanks @Ruthiella kiddo and I had an ongoing fight about the cat - he was going to come to the hotel with us, then he was going to boarding once they had power, and she wanted him with us but I had to balance the stress for him being in a hotel…luckily we avoided all of it but man, it was a challenge. 5mo
Slajaunie Whew! Sorry that happened! The sky keeps threatening thunderstorms but none yet. We need the rain. Thibodaux, LA 5mo
GingerAntics I‘m so glad you guys have power back! I hope you guys can make it through until you can replace the stuff in the fridge and freezer. 5mo

Honorary #catsoflitsy Bramble was very interested in the bag I brought back from the garden centre!

@KirstyJW

Soubhiville My cats love a paper bag! 6mo
RaeLovesToRead @Soubhiville I reckon Pickles is the only cat in the world who doesn't sit in boxes or investigate this sort of thing. If anything new is in her path she just sits there looking stricken 🤣 6mo
Liz_M Bert also has no interest in boxes or crawling in paper bags. He will chew on and poke all sorts of holes in a plastic bag, though 😂 (edited) 6mo

ravenlee My brother-in-law calls that failing the box test. He thought #DannyBoy was “defective” because he didn‘t pass the box, bag, or string test for ages. Now he just gets to it in his own time. 6mo
dabbe Hello, Bright Bramble! 💙🐾💚 6mo
RaeLovesToRead @Liz_M @ravenlee Ahh our cats in all their diversity! 😺 Pickles demanded 'al fresco' dining today, haha 6mo
