Welcome to Litsy!

Continues to be adorable for the most part.
I will say the introduction of the new cat took over this volume to the extent that the gamer metaphors dropped off, and instead of the first cat making life interesting for gamer girl, it was more about the second cat making life interesting for the first cat. Perhaps the author was tired, but there did seem to be larger swathes of physical comedy or just tracking cat action, with no words involved. 1

Agreed. ☺️

Safely in Wales and curled up listening to the rain, finished this after reading most of it in the car. It's a weak pick, the style (or the translation) didn't work for me that well, but it's an interesting set of constraints on time travel -- and how even constrained time travel can be worth it.

Here's my "distraction" bingo card after day 1 of 5!

Plucked out of my Little Free Library. Thanks, unknown book friend!

I don‘t know. I just don‘t know. I liked it more than Lizard but it‘s not in the same category as Kitchen or NP. The beginning was great and then it fizzled. But it wasn‘t bad. I‘m just at a loss for words.

At last, I finished my tiny loft! This one took forever because I had a ton of interruptions, but it was still a lot of fun to work on. Of all the kits I‘ve done, it‘s the one I‘ve most customized. I am NOT about the teeny tiny wire work, and the original terrace design was all kinds of boring. Now it‘s vibrant and fun.

I also finished the tagged book. While I liked THE MILL HOUSE MURDERS more, it was still a good homage to classic mysteries.

An odd, intriguing and witty little book. Keiko is different - she's 36, not in relationship and working in a convenience store. Arguably she's quite content with her life, but everyone else seems to judge it. The book offers insight into society's expectations of women (and men) and how others struggle to understand those who don't fit in.

This book is an interesting horror/thriller type story, and I probably wouldn't have done what Kenji did. I imagined she was fascinated by Frank.

A fascinating novel about a piece of history of which I was unaware. This story follows several generations of a family who are Koreans in Japan. The first generation are migrants and the rest are descendants who never fit in or are completely accepted. Excellent writing which made me invested in the characters.
