Welcome to Litsy!

Library book found ! Checked it out for the #whartonbuddyread of the Bunner sisters ,got mixed into a stack that I didn‘t get to the bottom of where it shouldn‘t have been anyway as I like to keep Library books separate for just this reason! 😂📚📚🙄

I have a vet surgeon friend who always tells me the sad and crazy things that happen on the job, so I thought of her while reading this book. The author shares the most memorable patient stories from his career—some of them made me gasp, some made me say, ‘WTF?‘, and some were just gross. It takes heart and courage to be a vet. These stories provide a small glimpse into what it‘s like to be on call for our closest companions.

These short stories tell the natural history of Henrietta, a lepidopterist, and her family. As with most short story collections some stories were more engaging than others. It‘s a bit sprawling, which in the end made it difficult to track the characters.

I won‘t soon forget Henrietta‘s young niece Caroline attempting to unzip her infant sister in order to let out the future playmate sooner, as if she were a moth chrysalis. 😳

I don‘t have the bandwidth to start a big project but have been enjoying a bit of time working on smaller projects. This is a block that is part of summer seasonal wall hanging kit I got years ago. I‘m not always a fan of kit maker fabric choices so changed their weird stripe for Pride flag colors.

I‘ll be honest, I have no idea what I read - I just know Woolf‘s style isn‘t for me. So much double speak and description of minutiae for no real reason. Only one of the stories in this collection was enjoyable to me…but even then its point felt confused. #AuthorAMonth

I tried Virginia Woolf for the first time and she is definitely not for me. I hope other #AuthorAMonth readers have better luck!

Merry Christmas in July! On this day, Will Smith defended Earth against alien invasion.

To celebrate, we will be watching all of our favorite holiday movies, reading Victorian ghost stories, & making iced horchata hot chocolate while eating an absolutely ridiculous feast of all our favorite foods.

I also highly recommend this series of ghost stories 👻 it‘s become one of our traditions to read one aloud before bed 🎄 they make great gifts, too!

This author packs a punch in this tiny little book of short stories. Tbh I don't even remember what the middle one was about, but the others are sticking.
