Welcome to Litsy!

Starting this for #ClassicsClub #CCspin due end of April2023. Rec‘d in the #ToB23 commentary #ClassicsClub50_list2
(Perfect size before I begin the #OaFkingalong.)

Starting the actual novel this time. 🤣
Maybe I should have brushed Esther before having her model with book… #WW1lit #Classic #CC50_part2 #ClassicsClub #DogsofLitsy #EstherFest #WiaN2023 QXZ category

This was just gosh darn adorable!! The audio (Nadia May) is something special. HIGHLY recommended! It‘s got books, it‘s got love, it‘s got lots of book love ❤️ #Classic #CC50_part2 #ClassicsClub #audiobook

Other pics from the wild weather we have had the past few days: 80 degrees + thunderstorms to snow this morning.

I have to honest, I seriously had a moment of cold emptiness in my gut when I realized that I wasn‘t sure what my next book was to be. 😱 Then I remembered I have my Bingo card to guide me. I am choosing the novella* by Welty and not just because it sits ready nor because it is short, and a classic, and it won the Pulitzer AND fave author A.Patchett cites her as an influence. But because ALL of this together. #CC50_part2 #ClassicsClub

I so enjoyed this and needed this, too. Whipple is a favorite! I thought some the characters almost over the top — hard to believe they were from the same family. But oh! Can she capture the internal monologue of despair. (If only they would TALK to each other…)

A tough read, really. Much more scholarly approach needed than an expectation of entertainment. The first third is all explanations of its discovery and place in history so it almost felt like nonfiction. #CC50 #ClassicsClub

#BookSpin November! Read for #DoubleSpin, actually
@TheAromaofBooks

I highly recommend reading AND listening to the Invisible Man #audiobook narrated fabulously by Joe Morton. #ClassicsClub #cc50 #Classic #NatlBookWinner 1952

(So close to Row-4 Bingo, too but don‘t have enough time to read Ask Again Yes AND my book club choice Anxious People.)

I finished a #BookSpin! It‘s the #DoubleSpin position on the #BookSpinBingo but I should be through both by the end of today. LOL

I know the story of Alice, of course, I think most people do, readerly people, any way. 😉 But I have no recollection of really READING this. And I expected it to be tedious. 😱 It was not! I enjoyed it. Whew, I feel so much better saying that outloud.

#BookSpinBingo newby here. #EstherAssisting with books, grid, and placement. Tagged book is #BookSpin; #DoubleSpin is Alice in Wonderland (for my #ClassicsClub)
Row 2 will be an easy bingo because I already finished Yoga Pant Nation and The other two, Gilgamesh and Alchemy, are in the house. Column 4 books not “spin” numbers, I will have to get from the library - both also for #ClassicsClub. Thank you, again, @TheAromaofBooks for hosting!
