Welcome to Litsy!

Favourite author as a child! The famous five was my favorite.

Day 15 #Top20series #20series20days I told myself I will not post any children/youth series, but then I realized I wouldn‘t be the person I am without Enid Blyton. I wouldn‘t be the reader I am without Enid Blyton. All of her series deserve to be here, but I choose this one. Malory Towers is another big fave of mine!

Scone-y Sunday💕
I was probably in grade 6 when I read about a picnic that the Famous Five had in the middle of an adventure. In the story, it was a particularly hot day and they all had ginger ale and scones. I had no idea what those things were but they sounded absolutely refreshing. I finally got a chance to have these two together.
Presenting, ginger ale and peach-vanilla scone. Bookish childhood dream-✅

I don‘t own this anymore, but remember reading from this exact edition when I was young. The Famous Five series were fun! Loved all their adventures and the characters.

1- I‘ve got a soft spot the the Famous Five books. I read and re read them a million times.... not sure I‘d go back & spoil the memory with a re read though!
2- Tue Grit - my mum loves Westerns....so life was full of them growing up!
3- Anything by Elvis...Mum is a big fan, we used to do chores to the music every weekend! I also got married in Vegas and went to a small Elvis lounge show post wedding....happy times!
