Welcome to Litsy!

Enjoyed the audiobook.

I only received one book for Christmas this year, but I am so excited about it! ❤️📚 #Ilovewords #etymology #feminism

I really enjoyed this. It's a highlight of my year. I read it in the morning for 20 to 40 minutes and relished it, reading only six or so pages at a sitting, for about 3 months.

I loved the humor, the language, the tone, the poetry of sound (and spelling), and the linguistic play. I‘m looking forward to Canterbury Tales.

I finished this book, but I had to push myself to do so. One of those word books where I go “hmmm interesting” while I read it, then promptly forget everything I read.

Fascinating!

Recent acquisitions:

📖 Chaucer: Sources and Backgrounds edited by Robert P. Miller
📖 Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy, edited by Sarah E. Maier [ I collect editions of Tess - this is my 27th ]

The Daily Doctor was supposed to be published last year in September, but was pushed back to August 2023. One of my longest standing pre-order ever.

Came across Mother Tongue by accident and I can't wait to read it (let's not start kidding ourselves, it's going to live on #MountTBR for a while first).

Thank you for the tag @dabbe 🥰

1. The wife of bath in the Canterbury tales. Shouting down the male pilgrims to tell a fairytale story about consent and free choice for women 🎉
2. Death in the sandman series. Rereading this right now and I love her so much, maybe my favourite literary Death
3. Got to be Jane eyre - a classic never to be beaten
