Welcome to Litsy!

This is the story of a year in the life of late C17th Quebec told through the experiences of 12 year old Cecile, the apothecary's daughter. Cather's writing is as deceptively simple and startling atmospheric as always. I would have liked to stay with these characters for a few years more. I started this book knowing virtually nothing about the French settlement of Quebec, it has whetted my appetite for further learning. #CatherBuddyRead

-The Accidental Beauty Queen (reread; #booked2020 #hatheadcoveringoncover) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

I know that everyone raves about this book, but I kept putting it off. I couldn‘t understand what would be so interesting about a man trapped in a hotel, and imagined it might be rather political.

Well, it‘s just the loveliest book and I didn‘t want it to end! The Count is delightful as are all of the other characters - read this book!

This book is an utter delight! Enchanting characters, witty dialogues, and I can‘t help but root for Miss Pettigrew who is honest, has a good heart, and quick to think on her feet. And what an extraordinary day Miss P had! There‘s one instance of racists remark, but I understand it‘s a different era. Lovely line drawings by Mary Thomsom and insightful introduction of the author in this Persephone edition. 👍❤️

I enjoyed this collection of Poirot stories - some are more developed than others, but each offered me a chance to read a story then move on to non-reading obligations. This was a reread for me, and yet I didn‘t remember many of the stories. Christie fooled me again...haha! #AgathaChristieClubR2

The story of an astronaut who returns from a mission (exploring planet outside of Earth‘s solar systems) without other members and with the large holes in her memory is interesting genre mushup between sci-fi and mystery/thriller. The story does not require an active reader, but with enough suspense and interesting psychological elements, this story was for me the right book at the right time. Not great, but simply readable.
