Many thanks to Heather of Bits & Books for turning me on to this weekly post! It's hosted by Christine over at Bookishly Boisterous. 1. I went on an outrageously beautiful hike in the North Cascades National Park this past weekend. Some friends and I hiked a 7-mile loop up, down and through the mountains, and none of the photos I took do it a bit...
Good news, everyone! Litsy finally released an update for Android beta testers that allows me to post photos again, so this Litten is back in book-snappin' business. For those unfamiliar with the app, Litsy is most quickly summarized as Instagram for books. You can share interesting quotations from or fun facts ("blurbs") about your current read, and you can even post reviews, complete...
It's been a hot thirteen months since I last participated in Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by the lovely folks over at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is all about audio, and so I thought I'd split it up between my ears' two loves: audio books and podcasts. First, the books! Here are five books that were better via audio.

This didn't stop me from doing a bit of weekend window shopping (read: allowing my cursor to hover over...
Many thanks to Heather of Bits & Books for turning me on to this weekly post! It's hosted by Christine over at Bookishly Boisterous. 1. Can I first just say how excited I am that I get to write a blog post in list format?
