Welcome to Litsy!

Starting this as my expendable travel read - I intend on leaving it on the plane or in the hotel. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Found on my shelves, unknown when originally acquired, it fits a reading challenge I do every year: #WiaN #WhatsinaName #WiaN2024 category NFL Team (the subtitle features CHIEF Inspector Gamache! 🏈

#Audiobaking #iLovePie #BananaCreamPie #WiaN #Wian2024 category: Natural Disaster

Wow - this is so good. Devastatingly sad, super-intriguing on the ghosts part!

My friend had this to say: “For academics, overthinkers, obsessives, and fiction fans, this novel is a big celebration of all the things we like best.”

But sadly, this is not my kind of book. Does anyone else feel absolutely horrible abt DNF-ing a book a friend sent?! Oh, the anguish. On one hand, #getoveryourself! So the book isn‘t for me, that‘s ok! But… then. Was tempted to put So-So; but decided to go with my truth.

I enjoyed learning more about the Pack Library during the WPA days, the blue people of Kentucky, and … getting to know Cussy Mary aka Bluet. A satisfied read but a critical eye might ruin it. But hey! Giving it high marks for BOOKS 📚 and for PIE 🥧!!! I think this completes my #WiaN2022 #WhatsinaName #Challenge for 2022 🎉 #WiaN

In my quest to read everything by Sue Monk Kidd, because I really enjoyed her thoughts about how she came to write The Book of Longings. I set this as #FirstBook2022. Mostly because I had just lifted it off the shelf to fit #WiaN for Mythical Being category. And #ReadICT! But this had problems. I enjoyed reading with a more critical eye rather than a hope-to-love it expectation. #DogsofLitsy #EstherAssisting #Griff #WHPG

LOVED THIS. I cried. I needed a good cry. (Who doesn‘t?) #ClassicsClub #inthehouseforyears #finallyread #thanks to a bloggerfriend who mailed it to me in 2012 #DogsofLitsy #EstherAssisting #Griff #WHPG #Estheris11onthe17th #WiaN #ONECategory #WiaN2021 #WhatsinaName #MothersandDaughters #FathersandDaughters #AssistedSuicide #Cancer #Book2Movie

This author intrigues me. How do I describe it? Like, I have a feeling that she is amusing herself as she writes; she is having fun. Something suggests she would be a sarcastic wit at parties and at work, she would tolerate boring business meetings with a sly sardonic smile on her face. #ToB #ToB21 #WiaN #DogsofLitsy #EstherFest #EstherAssisting

"How sad," I say. "What a sad existence." #TOB2017 #WiaN Book4oftheYr
