Meet the new addition to the family, Lilo. She, along with 4 others were found abandoned in the parking lot of my job. But happy ending...all of them now have forever homes. She is super tiny and needs to be bottle fed. She is barely bigger than the palm of my hand...such a snuggle bug. We love her already!

Loving this series so far. The narrative can be a little disjointed at times...but what else can you expect when you are jumping along the timeline causing havoc. The characters are so much fun and the storylines are bonkers. This is right up my alley. On to book 3!

This one bounced all over the place, but done in an excellent way. The characters were intriguing and just as you settled in with them for the long haul, the perspective would change. A interesting take on the collapse of civilization, the focus far more on the human element then most others. Definitely recommend!

This was a fun book, both lighthearted and quick paced. Bringing history and time travel together...hell yeah! Moving onto the second in the series as soon as I am done writing this...so now. 😃📖

Anyone a Kindle unlimited subscriber? Is it worth it? I am currently a Scribd member, and love it except I am limited to 3 ebooks and 1 audiobook a month. I can always find things to read on Scribd but I am afraid the same may not be said for kindle unlimited. Doing their 7 day trial right now... So far so good, but I can't see everything on offer. What do you think Littens?

Excellent book! My anxiety was running high for this family facing a centuries old stalker, who can change his face at will. He could be anyone and be anywhere... Standing right next to them wearing the face of a husband, father, or trusted friend. Again this was an excellent book and I look forward to book 2. #litsyatoz "J" selection

I will definitely read more by Lisa Unger. This got very interesting very fast and kept me guessing. Just what I was looking for in a thriller. This falls in a category I find lately to feel kind of hokey, and the beginning felt that way for this one too. But it wasn't long and I was enthralled with what was being hidden, the secrets, and the lies... And ultimately how it all was connected. Fun read.

Life goals

Yes! Someday all walls of my house will be floor to ceiling shelving...and I probably will still need to pile books here and there.

On the fence about this one. While I read it quickly and kept coming back to it, it felt like it fell a bit flat. This is any parent's worst nightmare, and thats what probably drove me on. Holding out hope that the boy would be found and that he would be found safe. I had to know how it ended, who did it, and why. That's where I get stuck... I was consumed with the need to know even though it seemed two dimensional. I give ⭐⭐⭐ and a so-so rating.

This book was not what I was expecting... I don't know what I was expecting but this was not it... It was fantastic! Loved every second of it, and was immensely sad when it ended. I tried to savor it, make it last but I couldn't put it down... So it goes. It was filled with magic, fairy tales, forgiveness, and love. Characters you love, love to hate, then understand in different ways. The author is an artist.

How do you get away with murder? Don't get caught! There were plots within plots in this one: revenge, escape, greed, paranoia and brutality. I thought I knew how this would play out... But then I found I was wrong, then right, and then oh so wrong once more. It was like watching a train wreck in slo-mo or watching a building implode. Slow but certain chaos. #litsyatoz "K"

"Do you behave better when you are being watched?" That is the question this book tries to delve into... What are we when we have an audience to question every action and motive? Who do we become when eyes and ears are upon us at all times? This book was incredibly creepy! It didn't feel so far removed from reality and where we may find ourselves down the road, if we lose ourselves completely to social media and the circus that encircles it.

This was an excellent book...it kept me engaged throughout. With only a small lag in the middle. It probably was just me though. I finished this probably 3 days ago and needed time to digest this. That ending! Geez! This was a unique take on zombie, post apocalyptic times, and post pandemic storyline. Not what I was expecting at all... and I loved that. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is another review hard to put into words... It was a book that hits you right in the feels. I rooted for Leonard hoping desperately that someone would save him, someone would notice, that he could save himself. It really made me think on the impact we can have on people just by noticing them, trying to understand them, and just being there. Makes you want to walk more gently in the world and stomp when there are injustices. #litzyatoz "Q"

Please read this book, because anything I say here just won't do it justice! It was beautiful and choatic. Emotional and just perfect. I couldn't stop reading this... Couldn't put it down... And then it was over and I felt like I had been hit by a train. The feels and the power of this book will last with me for a long time.

This one was just meh for me. So much potential to be crazy and funny, but I just found it ok. Not much to recommend nor reread. #litsyatoz "G" selection

This was fantastic. I will be on the lookout for anything by Becky Chambers! I expected to like it based on just how much I enjoyed A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet. Though this was very different it felt perfectly harmonious with the first. I need more from this world, more from this storyteller's imagination. Just need more!

Not sure yet how I feel about this. Listening on audio and well, the narrator is interesting. The attempts to voice all the characters is kind of silly. This would have been good for a cast of voice actors. But it is minor I guess. It is definitely starting to get more interesting 50% through. So I will have to see how this pans out.

PS Android got the update. I can stickerize stuff now. 😆 I didn't but I can.

Between the pages of a book is a lovely place to be!

Current read! Loving it so far! Thanks for the giveaway @Liberty... But no matter how hard I try I just can't #MAKEROOMMAKEROOM. But I wouldn't have it any other way! 📚😆📚😆

Oh how I loved this book! It was just so good and over far too fast. Thankful for part 2...that I have jumped into. Very different but I love it already. TLTAWSAP was so much fun... The characters are awesome and it was really well written. Definitely recommend! 😍

Just started this book and only a few chapters in, I can tell I am going to love it. Just the right thing to attempt to fill the hole of my beloved Serenity. Makes me want to look for the latest petition to rehash Firefly and sign them all!!!

Thought I would give this a try. Pottermore put me in house Ravenclaw... I guess it was right.!😆

While I enjoyed most of these short stories, some resonated with me far more than others. That's to be expected I am sure. I loved the "Calendar Tales" each a little micro fiction... Also "Click-Clack the Rattle bag" and "Feminine Endings" that were beyond creepy. But a happy surprise for me was the Dr. Who short story.. The tale was excellent and the feel was perfect! Gaiman is a fantastic storyteller!

Every single night!

This was my first Christie book and it was so much fun! The dialogue and characters were hilarious while they matched wits against the Secret Adversary... Triumph was quickly met with obstacles and vice versa. I was kept guessing at the elusive Mr. Brown to the very end. While I ended up guessing right among two distinct possibilities, I never felt sure! This "yarn"kept me on my toes! I will definitely be reading more from Christie and soon.

I made a name change on here... Didn't know you could do that, until someone else did so for very different reasons. Mine was done because I am starting a blog by the same name and I thought it only fitting that, well, it fit together. I am only in the very beginning stages but will throw a link out once I have some finalized content. So CTimmer is no longer my handle. Thanks Kittens for all the inspiration and kindness... Love this group!

This is my first by Agatha Christie, and so far I am finding her voice delightful! Only five issues in and there is mystery, disappearances, potential blackmail, and bits of humor thrown in. So glad I chose this on a whim from @SerialReader.

Question to all the Netgalley veterans.. Is there a time limited on a book you've been approved for? I am a newbie to this and I am sure this is the first of many questions.

I got approved for my first every Netgalley ARC! So frigging excited especially after last night late night's request spree! Then the let down of this morning's rejections. ? But it turns out I kinda requested books out of my region. Not to mention I am not the best reviewer on Goodreads, I do that here mostly. To cap it off I got approved for Natasha Pulley's new book! Loved "The Watch maker of Filligree Street" so stinking much! Over the moon!

I got a ton of books going at once... I am not quite used to so many. Before Litsy I was strictly a one book at a time kind of girl. Now with Serial, I read a chapter with my coffee in the morning. An audiobook for my commute. A palate cleanser for when I need a break, and then my main book. This just came in one hold from Overdrive which has a deadline. So up the ladder it goes to the main book. Never thought I could juggle so many stories. ❤📚

Snagged this gem up the other day for $1.99 on Google. So far so good. But I have never gone wrong with Neil! One of my favorites by him is a short story "October in the Chair" out of his "Fragile Things" collection. Have high hopes in finding another favorite here. #allisnotlost @Liberty

I found this book to be fascinating. I couldn't put it down, even though I had guessed most of the reveals. There was one that had me spinning! The author has gotten mixed reviews on both of her books, but I definitely liked this enough to try " The Woman In Cabin 10." #LitsyAtoZ "W" selection.

Yes! Loved this just a much if not more than the movie. Of course the book would be better... Even still the movie is my all time favorite! If you have not yet read this and love the film. READ IT! If you have not seen the movie... Read it then watch it... Or watch it and then read it, whichever... Can't believe it has taken me so long to do so. #LitsyAtoZ. "P" selection.

Really enjoyed this... Not a huge fan of police procedurals but this had magic... Which changes everything. Lots of thing were left open for the coming books and I am ready to jump in straight away! #LitsyAtoZ "M" selection.

This is probably my favorite movie of all time... and I have never read the book. I know, I know! I can hear the collective gasp from here. It is a movie I will watch if I come across it on tv no matter how far along it already is. Went to see it as a midnight showing on one of my first dates with my husband. It has always had a place in my heart throughout my childhood and adult life. It is now time to storm this castle! 💓

Another serial Sherlock story wrapped up! I have read 4 or 5 Holmes stories now, and it still surprises me that it has taken me this long! Love this app, and thinking it's time to try something completely different this time around. 🐕🔎

At first I really wasn't sure what to think of this book. It seemed to outline a cranky old man's day to day life... Nothing spectacular, until the flashbacks really began to paint the picture of his past while currently new people were thrown into the mix, giving him a new sense of purpose. I laughed and cried, yelled out in joy and in heartbreak. This is a story that makes you look at your own connection to the world and its possible impact. 👍

This was a fantastic read! Interesting premise and fast paced story. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book to continue with these characters and this world. Recommended ????? #litsyatoz. Selection "S".

So I got home from a long day at work only to find my wonderful husband had dinner ready and news that an unexpected package arrived for me. @leslieseidel had sent me extra goodies from #secretsantagoespostal. What a fun surprise! I'm glad you forgot them initially, it worked out to be twice the fun! Thank you for sending them along, the bookmarks are great and the family all want to try the chocolate. 🎉🎁📚🔖

@litsyatoz this was my "I" selection. While interesting this one had moments that made me roll my eyes and want to toss the book... Which I refrained from as I read this on my Nook. Fortunately those parts were less frequent as the book went on. Not sure if this a debut book but it felt that way. Still good enough to try the sequel. This fits somewhere between pick and so-so. So I gave it a pick for now.

It was a challenge for me to get through... A little slow going but glad I made it. I want to read at least one classic a month and the serial app is helping make that easier, one chapter at a time.

Huh. Well the premise was interesting. But it took far too long to get really moving and then once it did it bounced all over the place... Who done it? Why? Is this real, is he crazy? I felt there was far to much build up for a rushed and not really fleshed out ending. The resolution ended up being handed over but with none of the ah ha moments for a good mystery or thriller etc. I don't even know if that was what this book was going for. So-so.

Sorted into House Ravenclaw!

I loved this series! While there were some definite flaws I still couldn't get enough... The sad part is I've now read all 5 set in this world and I don't know if Bardugo plans to write more... Please write more... I needs more!

Having read the Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom first I wasn't sure how this set would go. I love the world Bardugo has built and the Grisha Trilogy is no exception. I have read 2 out of 3 in 2 days and I love this just as much as the duology. It is a fantastic ride, onto the last book in the series!#litsyatoz. S-Shadow and Bone. B-Bardugo, Leigh Siege and Storm.

Okay 2017 I got you! I spent the long weekend reading book after book and getting a jump start on my challenges! With this book I think I maybe picking it up throughout the year to see what other shenanigans I can get Romeo and Juliet up to. This was a good time and reminiscent of all those Choose Your Own Adventure books I checked out by the handful as a kid. I definitely want to check out his take on Hamlet.

Bookmail... Woohoo! Got my copy of this choose your own adventure style book. I got as far as the instructions and the intro and already giggling like a loon... Family is giving me strange glances and wondering if they can commit me on a weekend. I made everyone read the beginning... And now they want this read aloud.
