Welcome to Litsy!

Perhaps because his name is popping up in our #PemberLittens #chapteraday readalong of Old Friends and New Fancies (tagged below), Sir Walter Elliot of Persuasion came immediately to mind for #LoveYourself by Justin Bieber. Particularly “Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself.”🪞

(For the record, my favorite Sir Walter is Anthony Head in the 2007 version)

I listened to the first chapter of Cranford on my way home today and thoroughly enjoyed it! A town full of women and a cow in flannel is definitely an intriguing start.

My first time through this Bronte book. I think the #chapteraday format with the #Pemberlittens works well for it, as I like Agnes but her timidity at times drove me crazy. I definitely would not have wanted to be a governess! 😱 slow to get there, even for a short book, but the ending made me happy. 🐶❤️

Thanks to @BarkingMadRead for the great hosting & fabulous hashtags! 😆

I feel about the same as when I read this 3 years ago, I really enjoyed this Pride and Prejudice retelling. Back then I said, “Loved the characters & the glimpse into a modern-day suburban Toronto Muslim community setting. Keeps to the spirit of the original but has its own clear voice.” (And I‘ll take the 🥑 🍞 too!) 😋

Fun to reread it at a #chapteraday pace with the #Pemberlittens. Thanks to @StayCurious for hosting! 💜

For my early morning #BookAndBeverage I always climb back in bed with a mug of earl grey tea and my #ChapterADay reads. #EasterOMC @Clwojick @LadyKatrina

I finished the last few fairly short chapters this morning. I just couldn‘t stick to the #ChapterADay any longer. I didn‘t love this book, but I also think it might have been better if I‘d read it more straight through. It‘s still a light pick because I think it was an interesting story of several characters, and I was always curious to know what would happen to them.

I‘ve been following along with the #ChapterADay readalong of Middlemarch without commenting or posting much, but a few quotes in today‘s short chapter caught my attention.

The discussion preceding this quote in chapter 72 is a frustrating one as all the men tell Dorothea what she shouldn‘t do, but I did appreciate the humor of Cecelia‘s response, even if she didn‘t mean it to be funny.

I‘ve been following along with the #ChapterADay readalong of Middlemarch without commenting or posting much, but a few quotes in today‘s short chapter caught my attention. I think there‘s some real truth in this comment by Dorothea in chapter 72.

“People glorify all sorts of bravery except the bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbors.”
