Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed this adventure story that I picked up free LAST summer from audiosync... https://www.audiobooksync.com/ they give out free YA and classic audiobooks during the summer months if you have not discovered them already.

Just be forwarned that it is a product of its time, there are big game hunters, ape-men, Indians, negros, half-breeds etc on this adventure romp through the amazon in to the lost world of Pterodactyls, Stegosauruses, etc

I started reading this and then the news about the Amazon fires hit. Now, every time I sit to read, I get this sense of dread. This colonial mindset in this book is a huge reason why these fires started. Colonial greed is ugly. I have to put this one down for my own health.

Found this today at a charity shop. Really looking forward to it as I'm a dinosaur fan. Another for my dinosaur book collection yay 🦕📖🦖 happy reading

What a difference 25 years or so make. I loved this when I read it in my early teen years. Now, it was hard to get through. It is very well written, and this audio book had a great narrator, but I couldn't stand most of the characters. Self righteous, self important, and uncaring. They were quite satisfied with the part they played in the near genocide of an entire race. The description of the lost world was fantastic, the fate of it was tragic.

Anyone else use the app Serial Reader? I just started using it! It breaks down classics into 10-20 minute daily "serials" to make it easier to read. So far so good! #serialreader

I‘ve read this book so many times but it‘s always a delight - filled with humor, chills, some goofy bits, and plenty of adventure

🦕What is your go to bookish item you have to have while reading? 🦕 I haven‘t posted my Mr. Dino bookmark in awhile. He is one of my first bookmarks and my go to whenever I need a bookmark and can‘t decide which to use. My go to bookish items I always need are elastic bookmarks and a blanket. Pretty simple!

I was struggling until i vaguely remembered that this was one of the books i read many years ago when i think i read everything conan doyle had written after exhausting sherlock. A scientific expedition led by prof challenger goes to the Amazon basin to search for a hidden world of dinosaurs. This was the version i had, my life now is regretting getting rid of bks i owned in the past.

Loved this book! Shop local today! What is your favorite bookish item to buy?

Did you know Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a book called The Lost World? It‘s one of my all time favorites. This bookmark is inspired by his novel.

I‘m camping with my family this weekend and finished this while taking an #audiowalk along the edge of the lake.

I enjoyed this fun adventure story with dinosaurs. However, I definitely like The Sherlock Holmes stories more. One thing to note, I can read past racism in older novels by considering the culture in which they were written, but if that is difficult for you, I‘d recommend that you stay away from this one.

Yesterday‘s #audiorun: my farthest distance ever! This is an interesting sci-fi by Arthur Conan Doyle, with an expedition planned around the suspicion of dinosaurs in a remote area of South America. I think it‘s my first non-Sherlock ACD.

The Lost World is a #journeyStory. Professor Challenger leads an expedition to South America and encounters living prehistoric animals.

So this was what I got to in the end for #25inFive 😊 a pretty decent total considering I was late starting and working over the weekend 😁

Managed to get a bit of reading time in already this morning 😁 audio book for breakfast, and listened on my walk down to work too... getting there now , and I'm actually making a dent 💙💜❤ #25inFive

Think I'll give this a go 😁 got a bit of a start with an audiobook while I made (a very late) dinner, but should have time to catch up tomorrow... should 😋

I write with a heavy heart, that I was unable to finish this book. The book had a slow pace with no real rush of adventure like I had hoped. And poor Mr. Malone was only seeking adventure to escape the friend zone. While I was excited to read this novel, I have to put it aside as I cannot continue with reading it. Maybe I'll try again someday. #didnotfinish

An old book, but I love this new cover.

Back by popular demand. Only have two left out of five. https://www.etsy.com/shop/Bookartbookmarks

Not my usual type of bookmark, but this was too hard to resist. Inspired by one of my favorite books The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle. I made it. This will be in my Etsy shop shortly. #bookart #bookmark #dinosaur #trex #thelostworld

Saying that this is dated is an understatement, but unfortunately I don‘t think this is one of those classics that really hold up very well. I have more faith in Doyle‘s other books. I mostly just read this one because it was inspired by the events depicted in The Lost City of Z.

Exchanged one child for the other.

She's reading to me. Quite well! Last year in August she could hardly spell her name.

The Donald Duck.comic is based on Sir AC Doyle's story.

This was thoroughly enjoyable. I do kinda want to watch Jurassic Park now. 😜#serialreader

Not my usual read, but wow! Beautiful, fun, and exciting. Thanks you @SerialReader you've done it again !

50 years before Michael Crichton's books there was this. I'm so confused. Are they intertwined? Did he get his idea from Arthur Doyle? Help, Litsy friends!

#Riotgrams Day 12: #Outside #TBT to when I accidentally went to Tokyo. A series of misadventures serendipitously brought me to this little english-speaking #bookshop

Yet the people who spout nonsense won't shut up!?!?

My South American reading is spotty, but I did read this one after almost taking it back to the library unread! 😯 Good thing I did. What an adventure! #booktober

This is one of a few books I've read set in South America--and it's one of my favorite classics of all time. #Booktober

Currently on my tbr is a book #setinsouthamerica I feel like this is one of the books that I've always meant to read and simply never got around to it. It will happen. i am going to make it happen. #booktober #photochallenge #booksineedtofinallyread #dinosaurs! @RealLifeReading

I'm reading this one on the Serial Reader app. I've read all the Sherlock Holmes stories but not this one. Time to remedy that.

#augustphotochallenge Can we call these peach? #peachbooks maybe? This is as close as I can get! 😂😂😂

Trending today in Serial Reader is Doyle's thrilling adventure to a mysterious South American plateau, alongside the imposing Professor Challenger to uncover primeval wonders.

I discovered The Lost World in grade school and it helped solidify my lifelong love of reading; one of my favorite books!

"It was a weird place in itself, but its occupants made it seem like a scene from the Seven Circles of Dante. The place was a rookery of pterodactyls."
