Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m starting this one (and holding it in front of the chair holding the mound of laundry that needs folding) because I think short, funny, seasonal stories are a better use of my time right now. 🧑‍🎄

Bertie is roped into a visit to Deverill Hall, a country house owned by friends of his Aunt Agatha. Once there he finds an over-abundance of aunts, several couples on the outs and himself impersonating Gussie Fink-Nottle. Thankfully Jeeves is there to set things straight and help everyone out of their trouble.

Nice

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was very fun. Mostly lighthearted behind the scenes stories of the creation of the show, casting, and production, including lots of quotes and interviews from cast and crew. Mostly admiring, but also covered issues like the low retention of women writers. Enjoyable listen!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Annual #reread. This is definitely not for everyone, but it‘s 100% for me. I‘ve probably read this more times than any other book. Dark as hell, but so funny, especially the personal essays.

I always find PG Wodehouse so comforting when I‘m busy and stressed, and this was no exception. I‘d be lying if I said it was as good or as funny as the Jeeves and Wooster books but I still got a lot out of reading it and had a great time.

I think some of the best Calvin and Hobbes take place in the snow and at Christmas, and they are always highly entertaining, so they are my choice for #SmilesonLitsy 😄

Thank you for the advent giveaway @dabbe ! ❄️🎄

This first collection of Our Super Adventure doesn't shine as much as later work. Several of the jokes definitely made me chuckle, but not nearly as many landed as well as more recent comics. It was a lot of fun seeing all the ways that their style has evolved, though! #Comic #Humor

I definitely didn‘t need a lesson on what it‘s like to be an introvert (I‘m pretty much a subject-matter expert). But I do wish I could casually pass this along to everyone I know so that someone would understand me.

Yesterday I listened to someone I‘ve worked closely with for 8 years have an hour long conversation with someone who‘s been around for about 8 weeks. That I‘ve never had that kind of convo with them hurts more than I can explain.
