Welcome to Litsy!

3✨I watched the animated version many times. I was happy to see it was really similar, but also that caused me to not have any major excitement. Solid classic. 🥰 #Roll100 @PuddleJumper

It‘s always exciting to see what my monthly #Roll100 picks are. I own the memoir “Don‘t Let‘s Go to the Dogs Tonight”. Reading more Gloria Naylor is a permanent goal after loving “The Women of Brewster Place”. The Nothomb title has been recommended by so many-plus it‘s a translation! 👍

Look at the dark and sparkly dice! Perfect for October #Roll100 and I am not at all considering a dice advent calendar ....

Roll 1 = 72
Roll 2 = 38
Roll 3 = 47

Translation: Death on the Soccer Field

Helen Hürlimann knows what she's writing about, soccer is a huge part of her life. In this crime novel she puts that knowledge to work. It's an unusual writing style, a bit dairy, a bit stream of consciousness, a bit dry martini. Somehow very... Swiss? Calm, unagitated, focused. An interesting book for sure.

The definitive collection of Emily Dickinson‘s poetry.

I love Dickinson‘s poetry. Thoughtful and contemplative, I often found myself comparing her to Mary Oliver, the intertwining of the natural and the divine felt similar between the two. A classic, to be sure.

#roll100 soft pick. Probably would have enjoyed it more if I‘d read it 10-15 years ago but there was a bit too much teenage *drama* for my almost 40 year old self 🤣 a quick easy read though & I was drawn into the mystery

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My #roll100 was a quick and mysterious read that pulled me in and wouldn‘t let go until the last page.

A young lesbian is cast out of her home when she is outed at college. Throughout this book we see this charismatic woman figure out how to make it on her own as she navigates financial and interpersonal challenges. I wouldn't say I enjoy classic literature, but ever now and then I do strive to read it. #LGBTQIA #ClassicLit

Very quickly realized I was not going to love this one, so DNF. #hailthebail a book off my #roll100 & physical tbr! @PuddleJumper

Definitely enjoying the cooler temperatures today.

📕I will finish the Matt Helm today. I picked it up at a FLL along with the James Bond books last week.

📘Handling Sin is my last #Roll100 for September and a bit of a struggle.

📗Loving my revisit to Brideshead for #HashtagBrigade and am reading far, far ahead of planned as a result.
