Good Monday everyone,

Thank you all for your nice thoughts and comments for our kitty two weeks ago. Unfortunately, further tests revealed cancer had taken over his little body, and on June 22, after 16 years of love, we had to say our goodbyes. This was by far one of the most difficult and heartbreaking things I’ve ever had to do. 

He was truly the most perfect kitty I could have hoped for, always following me around and ready to cuddle. I miss him terribly. 

My reading has been a bit strange and moody over the past couple weeks and I didn’t buy that many new books, but I had some preorders as well as some library holds that came in, so this mailbox is on the bigger side. I’m looking forward to them but, especially for the library holds, I’m not sure if I’ll get to them in time!

Stay safe everyone! <3
