Welcome to Litsy!

My bedtime reading companion. Back in Venice with Commissario Guido Brunnetti.

Hi Everyone! I have missed you all and all the news about what you are reading. At the same time it's a lot. Along with everything else. So I had to check out for awhile. But I just passed my 9th #Litsyversary a few weeks back so I just wanted to check in and see how things were going. I hope you all have been well and gotten some good reading done! This is the #chunkster I am currently working on. Well worth the length!

A book that has been on my shelf for years and it was a lovely read in which in a series of short tales we are in the world of a small post war Italian village where the eponymous priest does constant battle with the communist mayor. As Don Camillo converses with the god on the crucifix in his church, he is constantly admonished or dissuaded from using physical force on his rival, but invariably, Don Camillo finds his fist or his cunning works.

It‘s a beautiful day to read outside. 😎

Great reading while you are on vacation! This was light and cute and easy. There were a few things that felt weird based on my experience travelling in Italy (you can‘t get to Pompeii from Rome that quickly…) but I‘m willing to suspend disbelief for some murder froth.

My June #DoubleSpin

Um, I‘m not really sure about this one. Just when I would think “I expected more funny(based on the synopsis)” it would then be a bit more comical. When I thought “I thought this was a queer story too” it would add a slight bit of queerness…. And then the ending solidified that this is really based on a true story, with liberties, but I still felt fairly detached. Fully admit that could be me right now though.

OMG, this was so unbelievable, so overwrought. And the author couldn‘t stop writing about nipples. 🙄At least I‘ve knocked off one #readyoirkobo for September. But don‘t waste your time on this one. @CBee

Up next on audio! It will give me a bingo and it‘s my July #doublespin pick!

Sunday morning 📖 ☕️

A long time friend suggested a ditch reading and get a new hobby but things sums it up nicely. 👆
