Welcome to Litsy!

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs Sorry to be so dilatory in responding to the tag-too much going on, but better late than never. 1. Recent photo-since moving to Fl last year we have enjoyed many wondrous sunsets, & I've taken dozens of photos. Here's a recent one.
2. I just returned from Tex for a visit with my Mom-1st time seeing her in 3 years, due to husband's transplant and then covid.
3. Grateful for family.

Another obscure word. Day 7 #Abendrot
- die Felder lagen im Abendrot, translates as: the fields lay bathed in the glow of the sunset or in the light of the setting sun - (or at least I hope it does @ju.ca.no)

*Not part of my Christmas countdown :)

This was more enjoyable than most people said it would be, however the language was slightly dreary (and not much happened!) I wouldn't say that I am looking forward to analysing it for the next 6 months, but I liked it more than last year's text!

Writing an essay on the characterisation of Jean Guthrie wasn't exactly what I had in mind for my holidays... 😣

Don't read the essay too closely - may contain spoilers 😉

Obviously I love reading but studying? Not so much! When I'm not working towards my Highers (or reading!) I love to be outside. I relate to Chris much more than I ever thought I could.

I have only just started using Litsy and it is officially my new favourite app :)

#Sunset #SisforSeptember @CaliforniaCay . I hope to get to this book by the end of this year!

My Reading Envy Road Trip brought me to Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Yesterday, my wife Lisa and I traveled to the tiny village of Arbuthnott in NE Scotland to the Lewis Grassic Gibbon Center which features a small museum with a number of artifacts from James‘ short life (1901-1935), a gift shop and a cafe. Sunset Song took place in this area so we were able to visit many sites from the novel. It was like being in Sunset Song. #readingenvyroadtrip

Congratulations @BarbaraBB and thank you for the generous giveaway 😘

This book hasn‘t got many reviews on Litsy or Goodreads but I loved it. It‘s been years since I read it but I still remember the characters and the setting vividly. #spotlightgiveaway

Five excellent books this month. #februarywrapup

I picked this book because my wife and I are returning to Scotland this summer and I wanted to read a book set there. I started the audiobook and there were so many words I didn‘t know that I obtained a paper copy for the (8 page!) glossary. This book was absolutely fantastic! Worthy of its accolades! The narration by Scottish actress Eileen McCallum is probably the best I‘ve heard. She adds to every sentence and even sings a few songs. Love.

Some stellar used book finds this weekend... Really pleased 🤗 Tagged book is apparently a Scottish classic with an introduction by Ali Smith, and When Harlem Was in Vogue is a new to me title that sounds amazing. The other two were on my TBR. #bookhaul

“The best Scottish book of all time” has not disappointed so far. Such colorful language and great writing. I‘m listening on Audible but bought a cheap paper copy for the EIGHT PAGE glossary in order to understand what was going on.

Heading back to Scotland this summer so I thought I‘d check out an audiobook set there. I love that it‘s narrated By Scottish actress Eileen McCallum. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Beautiful writing.

Leakey's had the fire going today. I only bought two books while I was there. Need to pace myself or I will have to buy more luggage.

You hated the land and the coarse speak of the folk and learning was brave and fine one day and the next you‘d waken with the peewits crying across the hills, deep and deep, crying in the heart of you and the smell of the earth in your face, almost you‘d cry for that, the beauty of it and the sweetness of the Scottish land and skies.

Yea Scotland, and yea for this book.
