Welcome to Litsy!

My pick for the #witch theme of the #autumnplease challenge is “The Witch of Blackbird Pond,“ a favorite of mine!

Finally reading this one (well listening 🎧). Been on my #tbr for eons.

30 Book Recommendations in 30 Days — Day 28 “Beheld,” by TaraShea Nesbit

Read this if you‘re desperately curious about the first settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Or if you‘re like me & you really appreciate Vowell‘s unique voice & witty historical observations. I do think I like her books in audio format better, where it feels like I‘m sitting down with a friend infodumping their newest fixation. I wish more time was spent on her last section about Anne Hutchinson, but I still blazed through this. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I didn‘t care for this one at all, which is unfortunate because I loved People of the Book and Horse. The story had a lot of potential, but I found it to be a boring and annoying read. At least I completed #Pop23 ~a book with an alliteration in the title

3✨I finished this earlier this week, but the end of the school year always has me trying to balance life and work in a very unbalanced way. Kit is our main character who is struggling with how different it is in Connecticut than it was with her grandfather. She meets a nice woman who the town labels as a witch. He world is changed when accusations start flying. Not bad, but it‘s hard to engage very much at this time of year.

🎶 Books, glorious books! Non fiction and fiction! 🎶

In the book Winthrop is a last name but Winthrop is also a small western themed town in north central Washington.
I have not read this author yet, hope to some day.

I‘m just not having the greatest time with @MoonWitch94‘s #AuldLangSpine list! Northanger Abbey is on it so maybe I‘ll reread that next—I certainly know I‘ll enjoy it 😁

Did this feel queer-bait-y to anyone else? With Abigail staring at Eleanor‘s bosom and the constant refrain that Dorothy was her “dearest consort”… but from the reviews I could find it doesn‘t go in a sapphic direction.

Geraldine Brooks is always hit-or-miss with me. I'm only in the first chapter but I'm thinking to let this one go.
