Welcome to Litsy!

Number 1 best seller in what?
More from the bizarre best seller categories 😁

Le Carré is the master of the slow burn political novel. He crafts his tale painstakingly, almost painfully, slowly, drawing you in page by page. Two hundred pages in, you feel like nothing has happened and just when you are starting to ask if anything is going to happen, the knots start to unravel and all of a sudden you can‘t look away and you can‘t put the book down. I found the ending disappointing, but the journey to it was worthwhile. ??

“That‘s the trouble with Americans, isn‘t it, really? All that emphasis on the future. So dangerous. It makes them destructive of the present.”

“Amazing the way things are hushed up here, I must say. You give a new meaning to the “need to know”, you do. Everyone knows except the people who need to.”

Ah, spies. 🤣🤣

I know I say this every month, but month-end close week is exhausting and I swear each one is worse than the last this past year. One more day to go, and now it‘s more than an hour past my bedtime, I‘ve put in too many hours of work, and I‘m wired. Reading Dark Age will just keep me up, so I‘m hoping le Carre will pull me down into a good story and allow me to sleep soon. 🤞🏻

What in the heck did I just read?

This is my latest LeCarre read. So far it is rather good. The suspense is building.

I ❤️ John LeCarre, especially his older stuff. #smalltown #rockinmay

Pilot doesn't look too impressed, though. 😂 #dogsoflitsy

I'm so excited for my #novembertbr! I've had a lot of good books waiting patiently. I know The Witches is at the bottom, I just need to finish it. #photoadaynov16 @RealLifeReading

These are my most treasured #usedbooks. Back before Amazon, if you wanted an out of print book, you had to hunt for it! Growing up, I was lucky enough to have a fantastic used bookstore nearby. It took 6 months, but eventually I found them all. They aren't in great shape, but I have fond memories of obtaining them. 😍 #augustofpages
