#CoverStories the #Stairs lead to the elegant townhomes around Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village NYC . Henry Jameses family lived on Washington Place, just around the corner. The park has been a hub of the Village , as the society folks moved further uptown, the area drew artists, bohemians, and radicals. NYU is near by , it has been a place of meetings , protest , music ,and games of chess.

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe That's what I've heard! 😂 I'm such a light weight that if that was still the norm when I hit the workforce, yeah I never would've made it past my first lunch 🥴 1y

Eggs I had a boss like that in the 1980s - he‘d take a 2-3 hr “lunch” and return 3 sheets to the wind. 1y

I switched between the paperback version and the audiobook (my May #bookspin selection) while knitting my first tee shirt. #knittersoflitsy #audioknitting

This book was okay, but Clare was super annoying until the end. I hope she lightens up in the next book since I own almost the whole series. And I want to love them. I do hope I am not falling out of love with #cozymysteries. I own A LOT of them. Maybe I just need a break.

ChaoticMissAdventures I do find sometimes a genre is not my mood for a bit and I have to switch off it for awhile. 2y
Avanders Some of them just aren‘t that good… I was starting to wonder the same thing, but I don‘t think it‘s a genre issue 🤓 This series, of which I have read every single one, is often hit or miss for me. I don‘t love all of it, but I find I do have to know about it. 🤪😁 2y

My first book finished for #JoyousJanuary and oh, how I loved this book! Lucia is Kit's upstairs neighbor, and when Kit ventures up to Lucia's apartment one day Lucia tells her all about growing up in an Italian family in Greenwich village in the 1950's and working as a seamstress in the custom department at B. Altman department store.

I think I first did a #redstack picture a few years ago for another Litsy challenge! The bookcase later went to my coworker, but I still have all the books except the tagged one. Kili is swooping in from the left because he‘s fascinated by the netting. #humbleharvest #catsoflitsy

#bookplates Haven‘t posted one of these in awhile. When I was reading things from the 1920s I was obsessed with finding this book, pre internet days . Wilson was primarily a critic , went to school with F.Scott Fitzgerald , his marriage to Mary McCarthy was tumultuous & detailed in several works. Not considered a great novel , more of interest because characters are based on people he hung with in Greenwich Village.Even kept hand written receipt!

LeahBergen That‘s a stunner! 3y
Bookwomble That illustration is fantastic ✨☄️✨ 3y
Leftcoastzen @Bookwomble Glad you like it , pretty intense! 3y

Book 2. This was pretty good but I found so many little things irritated me. I'm not sure I'll continue with this series. I absolutely love the coffee talk. However, not everyone can have caffeine like me and decaf is fine (not for me ) so get over it.

If you love coffee and cozy mysteries then you may enjoy this series.
