Back in Kentucky after many years away. I love to read and you can find me on Litsy as @decalino. I mostly post about my dogs, my cat, the creek in my backyard, flowers and books. All photos are my own, unfiltered, unless otherwise noted. #post.news

Sadly, she is more likely to eat the books than read them 🙃

Thank you! I tell her that all the time 🙂

Which is funny, because most of the time she is a complete goofball

@catsofyore.bsky.social My aunt just sent me this photo and I thought you might enjoy it: it's of my dad sometime around 1950, with my great-aunt's cat Tabby (carrying a kitten).

This Great American Novels list from The Atlantic is more limited in scope than the new NYT list, but does a much better job accomplishing what it sets out to do. #BookSky
The Great American Novelswww.theatlantic.com 136 books that made America think

To clarify since I can't edit: this list is more limited in scope in the sense that it only covers American novels, but broader in the sense that the NYT list only covers the 21st century

Yeah, all "best" lists are flawed but this one seems particularly skewed.

Interesting list, but missing some great authors: Octavia Butler! Margaret Atwood! It might be better to give nonfiction books their own list. And does My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante really deserve the top spot?🤔 #BookSky The 100 Best Books of the 21st Century www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The view from Chimney Top Rock yesterday in the Daniel Boone National Forest, looking out over Red River Gorge. I definitely want to go back when it's a little cooler! #Nature #kentucky

Yes, that was lucky! Our dogs were more scared than he was.
