Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

My plan this eveing… A murder mystery musical about the missing days of Agatha Christie. I am really looking forward to it. 🫶🫶🫶

I love Old Hollywood and especially James Dean. Came across this gorgeous pic of him and what can I say, he inspired me. 😬

Beautiful dreamer —
a misunderstood rebel
who left us too soon.

As a Julie Andrew‘s fan I thought this book would be exciting and fun to read. It was so boring and longwinded. Barely focus on each individual film and it was like reading a very long wikipedia page.

I'm back from a week in Pembrokeshire (my happy place) 🌅
St. David's cathedral had a secondhand book sale: I found this. Didn't have my reading glasses with me that day so couldn't tell exactly what I'd found. I just recognised it was DT. 😄
(Also, I was evidently on a mission to collect every piece of sea glass that was on the beach!)

pp.170-71: '[Hardy] was always exceptionally anxious and sensitive about reviews.... He might have spared himself the trouble: the divide between those who disliked his language, his lower-class characters, his troubling women and his gloom, and those who appreciated the beauty and imaginative power of his work, was already there and remained firmly fixed throughout his career as a novelist.'
