Welcome to Litsy!

Jolly black comedy, bitter and delicious, disturbing in a good way.

'tis the month of Comyns for me! A group I'm casually in on GR is reading this right now and I'm speeding through it pretty quickly. And I started the Vet's Daughter for #nyrbbookclub last night. 🙂

Weird characters doing and thinking weird, grotesque things. Nothing to latch on to or care about for this particular reader. Bailed a fifth of the way in.

Four days late, but here's a bit of what I would like to read this month. Two library books published this year, a classic reread (Sense and Sensibility), and graphic novel reread, and a classic off my shelves that was referenced in SWIMMING LESSONS.

Just finished this quirky little gem. I can't put my finger on why, but it reminded me of I Capture the Castle. Anyone read both? Does that comparison make sense?

I had never heard of this book but in one week it showed up along with the other Dorothy books AND was mentioned in Swimming Lessons by @Claire_Fuller_writer so I am clearly supposed to read it now.

Who doesn't love a charming tale of ergotism????

It isn't the worst cover ever, but it isn't the best either.

This was definitely an odd book, but I liked it. Using it for an ugly cover.
