Welcome to Litsy!

Delightful summary of what we know for sure about Shakespeare. Bryson is always great to listen to.

Yes, I know I‘m probably the last human on the planet to read this 😬... ANYWAY, I was reading during my lunch break and literally laughed out loud at the mental image inspired by this passage. 😄

I am starting my collection of these gems 😍 I think it‘s a great addition to any classroom library! So cute!

John Muir, in a letter to his wife during his first visit to Rainier:
"Did not mean to climb it, but got excited, and soon was on top. "
The picture is Rainier seen from halfway up Tolmie Lookout. John was clearly much more fit than I!

#letstravelaugust This is one of my favorite books—in it, the ten Boom family gives #shelter to those needing to hide from the Nazi regime!

Thanks for the tag @Chrissyreadit ! My ideal day would be my cat sitting next to me whilst I read some books and eating dark chocolate, but pausing to watch The Chase!

These guys personified “cool” when I was growing up. A class act, the sounds of my teen years.

Told in narrative poetry with a picture on every page, this story of Mary Shelley an outcast who ran away pregnant at 16 with a married man & poet Percy Shelley. Overcoming every obstacle, the two remain together and end up associated with Lord Byron who dares anyone to write about bringing the dead back to life. Over years Shelley does this by writing Frankenstein & all of the injustices she endured end up in her character.

Busily working on my last piece of homework this afternoon when...this happened. Got the girls 👧🏼👶🏼 out of the house, leashed up the dog 🐕, and crossed the street all while on the phone to 911 and then waited for the fire trucks. The 🔥 put itself out before the firemen arrived. Guess how many services arrived for my little call? 🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚓🚓🚑🚗
