Welcome to Litsy!

An adventure on the high seas with a talented junior mapmaker. I never really thought about how ships figured out where to go to “discover” a new landmass. There was definite emphasis on how there were already people in these places that were claimed to have been found by the empire.

Trix could not remember this and, given her current interest in historical disasters via the I Survive series, I thought she may enjoy a re-listen. It is an amazing story

I was dreading reading this 4th book in Riley‘s Seven Sisters series because I‘ve never liked CeCe. It turns out — in spite of the ridiculousness of some of the coincidences — that this is my favorite book so far. I came to understand and appreciate CeCe as she learns to understand and appreciate herself. My daughter is out of town, so for the first time, I took Missy for a walk by myself. She did good. 😊 #audiowalk

A little too many coincidences in this book — many of which are completely unbelievable — but I‘m still enjoying it. I‘ve got about 4 hours left. Lovely, if a little chilly, #audiowalk today — well, yesterday really as it‘s after 1:00am where I am.

I had to go back to The Pearl Sister because Wake Up and Open Your Eyes was automatically returned to the library last night. I wasn‘t quite finished, but there must be holds on it because I couldn‘t check it out again. #audiowalk

Now I‘m feeling sympathy for CeCe. She really doesn‘t understand herself; she‘s also always felt like an outsider and didn‘t know why. I commend Riley for being able to evoke in me this emotion for a woman I‘ve thoroughly disliked for 3 books now. #audiowalk

CeCe has me guessing all the time with what is actually going on with her. I think that may be because she, herself, is not sure. Short walk today — it was up to 76°. #audiowalk

Apparently rabbits come out around dusk here. I saw several on my #audiowalk

I wasn‘t in the mood for horror today — especially as there was a particularly gross scene when I started Wake Up and Open Your Eyes this morning, so I started the 4th book in Lucinda Riley‘s Seven Sisters series on my #audiowalk. I‘m feeling more sympathy for CeCe than I expected to.

I bought this for some challenge or another last year but then never got to it. I finally got to it this week and enjoyed the author‘s travels while looking for the secret to happiness.
