Welcome to Litsy!

I just remembered to pull this off my shelves, @Centique , after I mentioned it on your time travel post. This is the American edition; does it look like it matches the ‘70s TV show at all? 😄

It was this tv show in the late 70s that made me love time travel - being able to visit your grandparents as children in the early 1900s! Time travel novels for me can be escapist fantasy or dystopian sci fi - sometimes a delight, sometimes a disaster - and my tastes have moved from fantasy towards dystopia lately #timetraveltop5 @Ruthiella

This was one of my absolute favourite,edge of the seat adventure books when I was a kid.I could probably read it now and still love it!
From a children's book,definitely George Kirrin of The Famous Five,not perfect at all,straining against the constraints of girlhood,a clever rebellion against expected behaviours.
I read The Long Goodbye and would give it all the stars!!

Today‘s book buying excursions was kind of a bust. I got stuff for other people but only found 2 coloring books for myself. The romance section was disappointing for such a large store. They did have an awesome YA collection though. I did also get this shirt so all good?

Great book about Finding books that your child will love to read!

#BookspinBingo time! Bring it on, April. March is a crazy work month for me so I hope to play some catch up in April. @TheAromaofBooks

This isn't about the selected book.

I got a good amount of the #pantone2024 colors that only 3 were missing this year!
Woohoo 🎉🙌🏻 so I'm very pumped for this year's go around 😀

I stopped buying gifts for my niblings years ago. They have all the stuff they could ever want. I buy savings bonds to put a few dollars away for their futures for birthdays and Christmas. So here I am bundled up and ready to sleep instead of being out shopping with the crowds.

It was a strange feeling to read this story about German POWs in lower Michigan during WWII. I never knew POW camps existed in Michigan until I was an adult, and to discover this story has a connection to the teeny (teeny) tiny town I spent my early childhood in was just bizarre. I enjoyed the verse and the POVs of these two characters. I did not enjoy the very abrupt ending, though it's certainly fitting in any book on WWII.

I‘ve been dipping in and out of this book lately and it‘s marvellous!
