Welcome to Litsy!

This is the last book in the Corfu trilogy and I‘m a little sad to say goodbye to the Durrells. They are quite the family.

Gerry is mostly focusing on his animals and his trips with Theodore. But there‘s also room for Larry and Larry‘s friends that suddenly drop in, Leslie, Margot and their mother. Their mother must be a saint to put up with them all.

I finished Northanger Abbey and started both Villette and Jane Austen‘s Letters #PemberLittens. I‘m using last Sunday‘s picture so the Letters isn‘t pictured, they arrived late and I‘m playing catch up.

I finished Kairos.
Currently reading The Christmas Chronicles, Monstress vol 6 and The Garden of the Gods.

There's no book on my shelves that #beginswith #garden so here's a picture of the park in Colorado (not the setting of the tagged book) from about ten years ago. It was the only time during the week I was there for work that the weather was anything but sunny and glorious, but I kind of like the Emyn Muil look.

#bfc #bookfitnesschallenge update. This last week I missed the mark again. Only getting yoga in 1 day out of 4 and only walking 3 miles out of 10. I know my schedule is wild right now but I also think my discipline is lacking. I recognize this and will try to do better. Today I went on a hike with my sister who is visiting from Phoenix . We walked some new trails at the Garden of the Gods.

I had to go to my daughter's class end of school year bring and share picnic. So many children and strange parents. I will have to crawl into my books now.

I made lots of finger food but only took a picture of the kiwi apricot pear sticks drizzled with chocolate.

“Gerry” Durrell was an obsession of mine a good decade before there was a TV series about the Durrells. Here are four of my Durrell books. I have “A Zoo in My Luggage” around here somewhere. The little-known “Marrying Off Mother” is a hilarious collection of short stories from which some TV plots have been drawn. #TheDurrellsInCorfu #geralddurrell #anglophilesoflitsy #adaptedforTV
