We lost Chaplin last night. 💔 He started going downhill Thursday night, but then last night he got worse so we took him in and they put him to sleep. 💔 I'm very grateful that he lived as long as he did - 2 years and 8 months after being diagnosed and the vet didn't think he'd make it to even one year - but it still doesn't make this easier. I know how loved he is within Litsy so I wanted to make sure everyone knew. 👇 #chaplin #catsoflitsy

Happy Pride Month! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🩷 I'm going to hopefully be reading a lot of great LGBTQ+ books this month! Here are a few of my all time favorites!

I have a lot of feelings about Pride Month this year. The world is a particularly scary place right now for queer people. But Pride originally began as a protest, so let's try and be as strong and joyful as we can! 🌈 #pridemonth #queerbooks

My May Goldsboro book arrived and it's absolutely glorious! 😍📚💕 Plus, I didn't realize that it's like a modern day story featuring King Arthur's knights and now I'm even more excited to read it! #goldsboro #goldsborobooks

Book of the Month choices are live today! 🎉🎉🎉

Sheesh...they really are trying to destroy my wallet by letting us pick up to five books now! 😭 I chose every one of these main picks except She Started It! What is everyone getting this month? Was anyone else also tempted into getting more than three books? 🙈 #botm

So grateful for having today off and getting to spend it reading with this cutie! 🥰📚💕 #catsoflitsy #rumpel

I discovered this little hole in the wall burger place today and now I'm obsessed! The food was so good! And it was super relaxing to read and eat while also watching the traffic pass by!

Went to the farmer's market this morning and got some yummy goodies! Also sat for awhile and listened to the live music while reading! 🥰📚

Vampires and ice cream - a somehow perfect Friday night combination! 😋🍦📚

Happy Friday! 🎉🎉🎉

I just finished this hilarious book of bookish comics and it was such a fun palette cleanser! Also, I'm not going to lie.... I most definitely judge people by their bookshelves! 😂

LOOK WHAT LIBRARY HOLD CAME IN TODAY! 😱💛💛💛 I'm so excited to start this!

I am obsessed, COMPLETELY OBSESSED, with this graphic novel series! I checked out the first few volumes from the library, and then fell so hard for it I had to rush out and get the first three volumes in a collected edition! 🥰📚💕 It gives off such Stranger Things vibes somehow!

I am a huge fan of the way these covers are designed! 🥰📚💕

I love all of Samantha Irby's books so far, so I'm really looking forward to her newest one! #catsoflitsy #chaplin

"You'll never be alone again."

I know I've been posting about this book a lot recently. But I just finished it today and I'm completely floored by how much I ended up loving it! ??? It has friendship, honor, a competitive dangerous school, political intrigue, romance, and best of all DRAGONS!!! Now I'll have to try and figure out how I'm going to survive until the next one comes out!

Warm and sunny today! ☀️🌿 It's a perfect day to read about rival magic families out in the woods! 💕📚

It's officially summer! ☀️

Okay so...not really! At least not technically? But it's the FIRST day I'm sitting out on my balcony with a beer and a thriller - so I'm totally counting it! 😎📚🍺

Went to the farmer's market this morning and got some fresh baguettes, croissants, and apple cider donuts! 😋 Currently curled up with the kitties! It's a perfect Saturday! 💕📚

Happy Friday, Litsy peeps! 🎉🎉🎉 I hope everyone has a fun and exciting bookish weekend to look forward to! 💕📚 I'm really happy to FINALLY be starting this one today! I love Geraldine Brooks (The People of the Book was SO GOOD!) and I'm finally ready to dive into this one! #catsoflitsy #chaplin

This book...is RIDICULOUSLY good! 😱 I'm not even halfway through it yet but I'm just loving every second of it so far! 💕📚

I finished this book weeks ago but I still can't stop thinking about it! I honestly believe it's her best work yet! The writing is phenomenal and the characters just draw you in so completely! 💕📚

Happy Monday, Litsy peeps! 💕📚💕📚

Starting this one today in honor of AAPI month! I hope everyone is having a great start to their week so far!

I was already super excited about this book, because DRAGONS, so I was even more thrilled when Goldsboro announced this was going to be the April book for the SFF club! 💕🐉📚 It arrived yesterday and is simply stunning! #goldsboro #goldsborobooks

My signed bookplate came in today for this one! 🩷📚🩷 I love preorder bonuses! 😀 I read Imogen, Obviously as soon as it was released and absolutely loved it! I pretty much enjoy everything that Becky Albertalli writes, but this one was really special!

I'm off today since I'm working this weekend! Went to the park earlier and now I'm reading with Rumpel! 📚🩷 Also I may have splurged a bit last night and bought the special Illumicrate editions of Priory of the Orange Tree and A Day of Fallen Night! 🙈 #catsoflitsy #rumpel

I love this dedication! 🥹💕📚

I set this down a couple of weeks ago when I got caught up reading a bunch of new releases - so I am very eager to start it back up again! 📚

My Book of the Month box arrived! 🎉🎉🎉 As usual, I'm not sure which to start with! 🙈 #botm

Happy Book Birthday to this beauty! 🎉🎉🎉 Chaplin was super excited it arrived today! 💕📚 #catsoflitsy #chaplin

I loved, loved, LOVED this! 💕📚 Wonderful and witty and utterly whimsical!

"The preachers spoke about respecting the moons and about the meaning of life. Except every preacher who visited the island seemed to have a different idea of what the purpose of life was. Even two preachers from the same moonschool would disagree. That part had comforted her. If religion couldn't get it together, then she could be forgiven for being a mess herself."

?? I love Tress! ?

Soaking up as much sunshine as possible today! 🌿📚

Happy Friday! 🩷🩵🩷🩵

Today I'm enjoying my first bowl of ice cream on my balcony this year! Super excited about it! 😋🍦

There's just something so magical about reading fantasy books outside. 🌿📚 Especially when they're incredible fantasy books- like this one is turning out to be! I came for the pretty page edges and dragons, but I'm staying for the exciting, riveting story! 😱

I just feel so...happy... reading fantasy stories. That sounds trite, but it's honestly so true! It gives me such a sense of joy and wonder each and every time! 🐉

A little late but....HAPPY STAR WARS DAY! 📚💕

One of my favorite things in the world is going out to eat (especially for breakfast!) by myself with a book (or two!) I don't know why, but it's just so fun and relaxing! Does anyone else love to do this? 📚🩷

"Humanity is awful, angry, and violent. But we are also magical and musical. We dance. We sing. We create. We live and laugh and rage and cry and despair and hope. We are a bundle of contradictions without rhyme or reason. And there is no one like us in all the universe. Don't you think we should make the most of it?"

T.J. Klune has done it again! ?? Another beautiful, heartbreaking masterpiece!

Happy Book Birthday to these two lovelies! 🎉🎉🎉 There are a TON of new books out today, actually! I have a few more on hold for me to pick up at Barnes and Noble later today! I really did pick a great week to take off! So much reading! 🥰📚

I forgot to post this yesterday, but here is my birthday book haul! 💕📚 These were gifted to me by my hubby and family! I'm not sure where to start! 😂

Huzzah! New Book of the Month choices! 🎉🎉🎉 Here is what I picked! What is everyone else choosing? 💕📚

Dinner was chicken hibachi at my favorite restaurant! 😋 Mmmmm, it was so delicious! 💕 #bookndinner

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! 🎂🎉🎈

I'm really happy to report that today has been a completely relaxing birthday - my FAVORITE kind! 😊 I've been spending most of the day with Sanderson! And soon I'll be going out to dinner! 😋

I forgot to post this earlier in the week....and now it's almost over, but.....

HAPPY NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK! 🎉💕📚🎉💕📚🎉💕📚

Starting today, I have the next ten days off from work! 🎉🎉🎉 I decided to take some PTO since my birthday is Sunday, and I'm so glad I did! I'm SO READY to read, read, read this week! As well as drink copious amounts of tea and take lots of bookish walks in the park! 🌿📚💕 I'm kicking off the fun with a mini picnic!

"In an old and lonely forest, far away from almost everything, sat a curious dwelling." ??

And so, we begin.... I'm so excited! ?

So so so so happy to have gotten these two today! Especially the tagged book! T.J. Klune has become one of my favorite authors, and I am SO EXCITED to start this! 💚📚

I'm going to start keeping this book with me out at the reference desk at work to see if it helps keep patrons in line! 😂 #librarylove #librariansoflitsy

"It was a truth universally acknowledged that any young lady without a dragon was doomed to social failure." ???

????? I love this book so much!

Barnes & Noble has a special edition of this delightful book! 😱 Do I already own the regular edition? Yes! Did I get this one anyway? Also yes! 😂

I am loving this so far! I didn't realize when I started it that it had Arthurian myths and legends in it! 😱 Plus a really unique magic system! Very awesome! 💕📚 Chaplin is loving it so far too! #catsoflitsy #chaplin

Okay, I'm actually so excited about this one it deserves a separate post! 🤣 This is a Jane Austen retelling - but with dragons. DRAGONS! 🐉💕📚 Was there ever a book that was more perfect for me?!?! I had no idea this even existed!

#pemberlittens have you seen this?!?! 🥰
