Welcome to Litsy!

What a lot of lovely goodies! Thank you so much Serena! I love it all, but I‘m particularly excited by the Patrick Gale novel since I just discovered him this year. Merry Christmas, my friend😘💕

And thank you Sharni for organising once again😘💕

Well, that was interesting 🧐. I‘ve read quite a few Patrick Gales and picked up this one somewhere along the way. It happens to be his first novel, and it felt like it. Published in 1985, it features a number of gay characters including 15 year old Seth (presumably Gale). It felt a bit disjointed and amateurish, but the potential is there. #bildungsroman #favouriteauthor

I love Patrick Gale‘s writing and he‘s another author whose considerable body of work I set out to procure whenever I can. I found this second hand copy of his debut novel (with a somewhat odd title 🤔). It seems I may be on a bit a first novel roll…#currentlyreading
