Welcome to Litsy!

I love this extended musical metaphor for the symphony of lyrical poetry and prose that is Shakespeare! ❤️ #HashtagBrigade #Shirley #Chapter6

Still catching up! Hortense sounds like a gifted teacher and an absolute joy to be around! 🙄 #HashtagBrigade #Shirley #Chapter6

“If I be waspish,
best beware my sting.”

I took a Utopian/Dystopian lit class in undergrad — 1000 years ago. This was one of the books we read. I remember liking it, but I‘m finding I remember nothing about it at all! #audiowalk

Girls' trip!!!! Shirley is feeling pretty fond of Caroline and invites her away on a whirlwind trip to some Scottish lochs, and is it normal to be jealous of a fictional character from over a hundred years ago? Meanwhile, Robert continues to toy with Caroline's affections and, just, what is his DEAL?? #HashtagBrigade #CarolineGiveHimUp #GetWithShirleyInstead #TheyWereRoomates #INeedATripToScotland #WheresMyRichFriend

Will finally start this in a bit

I‘m behind but catching up! I was struck by the truth of this quote. #HashtagBrigade #Shirley

This started off well but I just couldn't get into it fully. The world building wasn't developed enough to make the world make sense. I understand that this was written for children but it leaves you with more questions than answers. I did like Badger though, he was a bit too relatable.

Shirley and Caroline are getting to be friends and have great talks about Yorkshire, nature, poetry, and love...but Shirley will. not. stop bringing up Robert Moore. Girl is fishing and even though I genuinely like her so far, it is so irritating. #MindYourBusinessShirl #GoWhistleAHappyTune #StayFocusedOnYourMill #WhatDoesHisLetterSay #HashtagBrigade
