Real life & Blogging:
Kittens Don’t Sleep…Like I actually had to put her down for a nap just to get a few minutes of peace. She’s like a toddler on speed. We picked up our new bundle of joy on Thursday and she is a hoot. Auggie and Dexter seem to have taken to her a lot faster. Calliope needs a little more time and hisses at her. However she also hisses at Auggie so it might be just a Calliope thing.
Poppy Von Schweetz
When she’s not zooming around the house and bouncing off the walls, she is usually taking a dip in the water dish or chewing on everything. She hasn’t been fixed yet since she is still little which I hope calms her down once she is. She also has a hernia that will be fixed when she is spayed. I plan to also get her a microchipped once I can get to see my own vet. She is so affectionate and just loves everyone in the house. Purring constantly. We are all so in love with her but good gravy she keeps us on our toes. I forgot what a handful an active kitten is. The other two were a lot calmer and still are when they aren’t playing. I do love a good organized chaos in our house.
The weather has been insane, we with have hard storms or it’s yucky hot. I miss the fall/winter. Work has slowed down a little but and this weekend was the first one that I didn’t bring anything home. I can finally get back to do other work and things I had to put on hold until after we slowed down.
I am working on organizing my blogging stuff but I am still rather slow with it. The blog isn’t going anyplace and we will be back when we are ready but for now we might just post on and off. It’s like a surprise.
Books:
This might be the slowest I ever read. Not that I am not enjoying my books I just seem to be reading at a snails pace. But I am hoping to finish my current read this weekend and moving onto my TBR Book as soon as I am done. I also am still reading The Kings of the Wyld…See I am reading super slow 🙂
Reading:
What I grabbed:
So tell me what have you been reading and up to this week?
Hope you all have a fantastic week!!!
Happy Reading

Ohmygosh kittens are insane! LOL Poppy has such a cute little face.
Poppy sounds like a great addition to your household. She does sound like a handful, hopefully she calms down when she gets a bit older. Have a great week!
Such long whiskers!
Wishing you a great reading week and cooler days.
Oh my goodness what a cutie, she looks fill of mischief! I’d love a cat but my dog says no way!
You have a lot of good books there, I love the look of Goldilocks and I must get my hands of Mexican Gothic.
Have a good week.
I’ve been reading slow lately too. Heard good things about Mexican Gothic. Enjoy.
She’s so cute!! But kittens are whacked… I’d almost forgotten their level of crazy when we got our first in 8 years a couple of years ago… They grow up fast though. Enjoy watching her get up to her mischief! It’s much more fun than the news at the moment and much better for the mental health. 😉
“a toddler on speed” lol. Kittens are crazy but so fun and cute. I imagine you do have your hands full! It’s been hot here too. It’s only in the 80’s the last couple days but it was 90’s most of last week and that was awful.
Goldilocks looks pretty good. Hope your reading picks up (and mine too haha).
Stay safe this week. 🙂
I listened to Mexican Gothic and enjoyed it. Poppy is adorable!
Cats are crazy! They have to be cute or people would never put up with their nonsense! Haha! I’m sure she will keep you all busy for awhile!
I’m extremely allergic to cats but she is cute. I’m still glad we rescued a 1.5 yo dog who is trained and calm. We are all doing what we can. I feel like I should be getting more projects accomplished but I seem to read a lot of COVID and political news. UGH. It’s like a train wreck I can’t stop watching.
Have a wonderful week and stay well!

100% i thought for sure I was going to do more but nope I am just all tense and worried and watching to much TV and Twitter.
I am also allergic to cats but I can’t help myself. I take meds and it’s usually worse during my allergy seasons. So far these 3 don’t seem to bother me as much.
I’m not really a huge cat person but there is absolutely nothing cuter then a kitten – especially someone else’s kitten! She’s adorable and I’ve enjoyed all the pictures I’ve seen. My mother just got a kitten as well and made a similar comparison to the toddler on speed. It’s thoroughly enjoyable form this side of things but I do love seeing your adventures. Enjoy your books and have a great week!
I thought you had a cat?
She is fun and just a ball of energy. lol
Oh she is so precious!! Completely adorable! I don’t know how chaotic a kitten can get, but if it’s anywhere near to how our dog was , I feel you. You definitely don’t have time to get bored lol. I am very curious to read Mexican Gothic. I see it on everyone’s TBRs and I am so intrigued. I hope you love it! Stay safe and happy reading.
Thank you! Yes but kittens for some reason are faster. Our dog was crazy when he was a puppy too.
I am excited to read Mexican Gothic. I am thinking it might happen soon.
She is precious! I love that she likes to “take dips in the water dish!” Too funny!
Have a great reading week!
We are just waiting for her to start lounging in it. She spends about half the day all wet. She cracks me up.
Glad the kitty is doing well! I am totally with you on the heat. It’s been horrible lately. I can’t wait for Fall to actually start. Might be October for us though as September tends to run hot these days. Yuck. Lol.
Nice new reads! Those are new to me ones, but I hope you enjoy them all!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
The heat is awful, in NJ the humidity is the worst. It’s like hard to breath. Fall would be lovely and October is the perfect weather.
If I ever got a cat I would want that color of one! Super cute, though I do still like Auggie best. 😉 Hope you like Mexican Gothic, I am curious about what you will think.
Have a great week!

I have wanted a black one for a while , she has just enough black and white. I can’t get enough of her.
Auggie is fantastic, he is so cute. I can’t get over his face and those big eyes.
I can’t wait to read Mexican Gothic, I have heard mixed stuff but I think it will be something I like.
Lol I can just see your house full of animals 😂. I love it! Not that I need one more thing to worry about right now, but once Dante is older and we have a house – definitely some more animals.
Hahaha I love it – it is a surprise when we post 🤣😂. We’ll find our way back to normal someday. Have a great week. Hugs!
I can’t get enough. Poppy is so affectionate and lovable , plus she is quite the character, makes me want another one. lol
Our best stuff we come up with is a surprise 🙂
Oh you sound so patient. I would hate any chaos, organized or not. Good thing I am scared of cats, isn’t it? I hope you are staying safe.
I admit I do have a lot, sometimes I don’t think so but my husband tells me all the time I do.
Are you really scared of them? They can be unpredictable and temperamental, so far we have been lucky and all out cats are pretty good. This one is very affectionate. 🙂
