Welcome to Litsy!

I found this picture on mondaymandala.com and saved it to my phone to color in a coloring app and I colored it. I wanted to share a memory I have of my dog Toppy before she passed away on October 25, 2024. I‘m a night owl and it was cool that I got to hear owls hooting in the middle of the night. One owl was singing in a high pitched voice and the other owl was singing in a low pitched voice. They sounded good together.

We have a ton of the Branches series books for young readers, so I've wanted to read a few to see how they are.

This is my second and it's super cute! Both this one and the Pug Diaries are fun, light-hearted, and seem very approachable. I'll likely be reading a few more so I have ready to go recommendations for my library's little bookworms!

This was an adorable picture book!
A great story of our little owl with a big dream and with the support of his parents and his own ambition makes it happen.

Not a lot of text, but lots of illustrations that helped the story along and for me that makes it a great picture book to share with kids.

“A knight is brave, a night is bold, but most of all a knight is kind,”

I think that this book would be a great use in this classroom and it could be a good lesson about chasing your dreams and being kind as well as being brave..

I'm caught up. I can barely believe there are only 2 months left. 🙀

For the first time in a long time I had a good reading month! I whipped through Megan O‘Brien‘s Talon Security and Ride Series 2nd Generation- I couldn‘t get enough. But I think my favourite read of the month was The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches that I read with #LittensLoveRomance - Hoping to keep up the reading momentum this month.

16 books finished for October and very few were spooky season reads. Oops. In my defense, though, there was a surprise new Smiley, and that overrides just about all other considerations.
