Welcome to Litsy!

I keep an eye out for early editions of Maud Hart Lovelace's books in every used bookstore I go to. I've never been lucky enough to catch one in the wild until this past week! Lo and behold, a tiny, wonderful used bookstore in a tiny northern Michigan town had this glorious copy waiting for me. #BetsyTacy #MaudHartLovelace #MittenLitten

I got to read this lovely book by one of my favorite authors while staying in a cabin on 29 acres in Michigan's glorious "up north". It's been a wonderful week and getting to spend it digging into this love story was a great bonus. This one is slightly melancholy, as Rowell's books can be, but gives us an honest, bittersweet picture of how people can weave in and out of our lives through the decades. Lots of heart, definitely recommend.

So fun to recognize #StorySettings. Petoskey, Traverse City, and "Washed Cherries" signs bring back great memories as a #MittenLitten. As a teen, hubs worked landscaping at Grosse Point Yacht Club where Sabatian plays tennis and where I grew up on Lake St. Clair.

Nope! I wasn‘t reading this! Miss Priss made it home from her adventures today and she‘s exhausted! 🐾😽

I‘ve never really been a football fan, but it‘s growing on me! Did your team win?! 🏈

A snowstorm in Detroit knocked out our power, which also means we have no heat. 😳 At times likes these, I know I'm beyond lucky to have a working fireplace and a house full of books. Curling up with a blanket and this comfort read, and hoping we get power back soon! How are my fellow #MittenLittens doing? #CurrentlyReading

Always enjoy this author and #histfic based on true events, Paris, resistance. I see when I first posted this book I was drinking a French Merlot on a plane. Today it's a Mimosa with a bubbly "methode champenoise" from a Michigan winery. Continued appreciation for those who did and do resist in the struggle for justice, equally, and truth. #MittenLitten #FogCover #NewYearNewBooks @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

In the spirit of #Auldlangspine, here are a few facts about me before we start this reading challenge ☺️ @Zuhkeeyah

I drove up to Ann Arbor on a whim today to go to the Ann Arbor Comic Arts Festival. I've brought a couple of graphic novels to get signed, and I'm sure I'll find a few things to buy. 😅

What does this Rock & Rye have to do with solving a French murder mystery? Hint: True Detroiters will call it "pop". Fun read with the added bonus of a bit of Julia Child. #MittenLitten
