A Glass of Blessings: A Novel | Barbara Pym

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella guess after Tess I‘m just waiting for something terrible to happen 6mo

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk Understandable. We were all traumatized by that book, I think! 6mo

TheBookHippie I‘m loving this just catching up. I love her writing so much! After last month this is ZEN! 😂♥️ 6mo

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella I think that‘s why I love it! 6mo

julieclair Harry is a cad! 6mo

Cuilin Harry is a PLAYER!!! 6mo

Graciouswarriorprincess I'm loving the characters in this book but not a clue where it is going! I agree that Harry is a cad/player! 6mo

dabbe I feel like it's a day-in-the-life-of kind of book. It reminds me of GLIMPSES OF THE MOON by Wharton, where every day was like “We got up. We ate breakfast. We shopped and ate lunch. Then we partied. And partied. And partied.“ 🤣 6mo

Ruthiella Also, if any have read Excellent Women, the Rocky Napier that Rowena and Wilmet had a crush on during the war in Italy is Mildred‘s neighbor in that book. 6mo

Cuilin @Ruthiella oh I didn‘t catch that. Fabulous. Loved Excellent Women. 6mo

Aimeesue @Ruthiella Rocky as a Pym Easter egg was so fun! 5mo

Ruthiella @Aimeesue @Cuilin I love those little cameos from other novels. 😃 (edited) 5mo

Bookwormjillk Also as soon as work ends today I am going home to name all my tennis balls 9mo

mcctrish #GEORGE #temper #THEemersonsarecoming I just want to read and read and read now #mrbeebeknows 9mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I mean, do you even play tennis #bumblepuppy if your tennis balls aren‘t named 😂😂 9mo

mcctrish Also the BEST thing about Cecil is referring to him as Fiasco 9mo

Ruthiella Ha ha! Cecil has totally shot himself in the foot by inviting the Emersons instead of the harmless Miss Alans. 9mo

The Princes in the Tower | Alison Weir

Can I get some proof of this? I mean logical proof. I don‘t think Alison Weir has ever been catholic. Being alive is a reason for guilt, along with eating too much, wanting to have sex with your spouse, thinking you look good in a particular color… I could go on. There is literally NO PROOF for any of this.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m watching this now lol 4y

ElaineR Is this from an adaptation of Commonwealth? Also is that the rather wonderful Raúl Esparza? #clueless 4y

monalyisha @ElaineR Aw yeah! 🙌🏻 4y

monalyisha @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks There was a time when it was basically all we watched. 😆 4y

Here‘s my 20 books for #bookspin February! @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks You have a challenging list - I love it! Thanks so much for joining, and I'll make sure to tag you with the chosen number on Sunday!! 😁 4y

ElaineR Only just joined Litsy. What is #bookspin? #clueless 4y

Emilymdxn Hey @elainer I just tried it for the first time today too! It‘s a mini challenge run by @thearomaofbooks where you make a list of 20 books you‘ve been meaning to read, in my case they‘re books that have been sitting on my kindle for years, and then she generates a random number and we all read the book that‘s that number for us. Just a fun way of getting to some books you‘ve been putting off! To join just post your list I think 4y

ElaineR Thanks @Emilymdxn. Sounds fab. If I can get myself organised I may have to join in. Ironically I bought "Howard's End is on the landing: A year of reading from home" to help with this exact problem. A few years later, I still haven't read it lol. #bookspin may be just the solution. Good luck with yours. 4y

Scochrane26 @ElaineR It can take awhile to find all the activities on litsy. I just saw the bookspin yesterday, too. 4y

ElaineR @Scochrane26 that's reassuring. I've no clue what I'm doing lol. I do like this idea though. 4y

Emilymdxn @elainer for sure that‘s okay! It took me months to join in with things when I first started and none of it is compulsory to take part in, I just lurked and saw what was going on for probably like 6 months! If you wanna join in everyone will be super understanding that you‘re new, we all love new ppl 4y

ElaineR @Emilymdxn thanks :-) 4y

Crazeedi @ElaineR you can always check @LitsyHappenings lots of things are posted there, or ask anyone like you just did! And welcome , you will love it here!! 4y

ElaineR @Crazeedi Thanks so much. 4y

Stig of the Dump | Clive King

#marchintooz #historydoesntrepeat

My current bedtime read with the 7 year old. History doesn‘t repeat or does it? How else can you explain finding a caveman living in the local rubbish dump? Both my kids and I have loved this old classic - I‘m guessing it looks familiar to the UK Littens but very strange to the US ones!

Cinfhen, Lizpixie

rockpools SOOOO familiar! We must have read it in school several times over - I remember the bottom left and top copies. And possibly a tv series. 6y

Cinfhen Yup! #clueless 🙋‍♀️🤷‍♀️ 6y

Libby1 This book is so good. I grew up in the US so wasn‘t familiar with it, but now that I live in the UK I wanted to acquaint myself with British classics. Enjoy! 6y

KarenUK I loved this when I was little 👍💕 6y

quietlycuriouskate I loved that book! I had the one with the yellow cover. ❤ 6y

xicanti I feel like I read this when I was a small Canadian child, but all I remember is the title. 6y

Centique @xicanti the bit that stuck in my head was building a chimney for the shack out of tin cans and a window out of ham jars. Does that ring any bells? 6y

Centique @Cinfhen I always find that a bit funny. 😋In NZ (and prob Oz) we got most of the UK popular culture and a fair chunk of US stuff growing up - so a lot of both is familiar to us. Sesame Street AND Worzel Gummidge. 😂😂 6y

Centique @RachelO YAY for great kid books @Libby1 @KarenUK @River_Voice @xicanti 6y

LeahBergen I remember the top right edition. I grew up with Puffin Books here in Canada. ❤️ 6y

Centique @LeahBergen looks like Canada got both the UK and US influences as well! 6y

Andrew65 A great book! I too remember the tv series @RachelO 6y

Emma (Revised) | Jane Austen

@shelf-improvement already used the poster picture so I pulled this one down for #Clueless which is also my favorite #JaneAustenAdaptation because Paul Rudd is my nerd crush and has been ever since this movie. #seasonsreadings @RealLifeReading

britt_brooke Ah, yes. I do love some Paul Rudd, chin pubes and all. 😁👌🏻 7y

britt_brooke PS. Clueless is my all-time favorite movie. Have you read As If! ? I highly recommend it.

As If!: The Oral History of Clueless as told by Amy Heckerling and the Cast and Crew

literarymermaid @britt_brooke I haven't read it but it's going on the TBR! 7y

britt_brooke @StoredFeminism I just read it a few months ago and it made me love the movie even more. 👍🏻👍🏻 7y

The Silence of the Library | Miranda James

I can't get the silly Goodreads app to do The My Year in Books thingy on my phone. Anyone know how to do that?

Here's a pic from my laptop instead. I tagged the first book I read in 2016, which was a cosy mystery with a cat and a library.

Alicia I logged in on my phone and switched to the Desktop site if that helps! 7y

Reviewsbylola I had to pull it up on safari instead of the app. 7y

OrangeMooseReads I had to go to the site as well 7y

saresmoore Oh, I love

Little Dorrit

LauraBeth Nice year! ⭐😀👏 7y

megnews I can't either. Not even sure where to find it. 7y

Laura317 @Libby1 I had to take a photo of my monitor as well. #clueless 7y

DogMomIrene I don't think this feature works in the app. If you wanted a picture of the infographic, you could take a screenshot. On a Mac, hit , , and all at the same time. You'll get a "target" icon that you can drag and drop over the infographic. When you drop the icon, you'll make a screenshot of that area as a .png file, which you can edit like a photo you took with an iPhone or iPad. I take screenshots all the time??? 7y

MargaretPinardAuthor I was just annoyed at discovering this lack of mobile capability too! Bah. More curmudgeonly every year... 7y

Libby1 Thanks, @Alicia , @Reviewsbylola , @MrBook, @OrangeMooseReads , @saresmoore , @LauraBeth , @megnews , @Laura317 , and @MargaretPinardAuthor for commiserating or liking Little Dorrit. 😊. Thanks @ocdIrene for the info! I'll keep it for reference. 👍 7y
