Welcome to Litsy!

I don‘t think there‘s a book title that better describes my life preferences. ‘I‘d Rather Be Reading‘ has been on my radar for a while now. It‘s a charming collection of essays that celebrates the joys and quirks of being a book lover. Ann explores the magic of getting lost in a great story, the chaos of overflowing bookshelves, and the personal connections forged through reading.

For any Austen fan

Library therapy wins over retail therapy imo (gentler on the wallet). Swallows is the new one by Kirino, author of Out

1️⃣Spent the most fun weekend with my family celebrating my nephew turning 13 and my niece turning 9 2️⃣ October Baseball! Go Bluejays!! ⚾️💙 3️⃣ Silent Bookclub with my bestie last night 4️⃣ Coffee and Wine ☕️🍷 5️⃣ It‘s FRIDAY!!

Very satisfying read, though veeery long. The colour illustrations are amazing, and the selections of significant figures involved with manuscripts mostly interesting (though I still think someone like Christine de Pizan should've figured).

I wish this wasn't almost all dudes. I know *why* it is almost all dudes, though I would argue that at the very minimum Christine de Pizan would've been a good addition.

Looking forward to the chapter on Belle Da Costa Greene, about whom I know almost nothing.
