Welcome to Litsy!

Current read...this year I'm trying to read more non-fiction and autobiographies. Very well researched.

Verbose historical read about The Dakota. Can't see this be appealing to many but history buffs. The author is in incredibly long winded and gets off on tangents that make the story less fun.

Interesting and fun history of one of NYs renowned buildings. I never realized so many unexplainable and haunted history it had. Good time reading!

I was drawn to this book due to my having recently read 3 Fiona Davis HF novels. Some of the historical chapters were long-winded but the most glaring thing is its outdatedness. C. 1979!! which was just before Lennon's murder outside the Dakota's entrance; already 38 years ago

Today‘s Kindle deals, at least in the US, feature nonfiction titles. I grabbed this one!

My family and I go to NYC at the end of every summer and I enjoy reading books in or about the city during the lead up. This one was pretty good. Interesting tidbits about a great old building which I pass often when I‘m in town. But, some chapters were more engaging than others to me, therefore I‘m giving this one a so-so

#nonfiction2018 This was an interesting read, full of fun little tidbits and historical facts. I wanted to read it because on my trips to NYC, I love to take a taxi to the Dakota, stare in awe at its beauty, then cross the street into Central Park and directly to Strawberry Fields. Now, I know more about the history and inner workings of this landmark building that somehow always seems to persevere.

Starting a new book, my first #nonfiction book of the year. I‘m going to NYC next month, do I thought this one was a good pick. #nonfiction2018
