Welcome to Litsy!

This was a fascinating book with tons of pictures and accompanying blurbs/fun facts. The anglomania of the late 19th century/early 20th century included a lot of American heiresses marrying British aristocracy. It was a win win situation—the bankrupt Brits provided the titles and the Americans provided the cold hard cash. #paralondis

Thanks to everyone for your book recommendations! My pre-Euro trip stack keeps growing and shifting, with a heavy emphasis on Versailles 😆 Now if only Winky would stop gnawing and I could decide where to start...

My favorite place to read is the dance studio parking lot. Every Saturday morning I get almost two hours to read in my car while my girls have their lessons. I love it because there are no household chores calling my name and no kids interrupting me. 😂

I‘m starting these two books in anticipation of our trip to London and Paris in two months! #paralondis (hashtag inspired by Flo 😆)

What a slog. I could have cried from boredom reading this book. I usually love a good Bronte, and going by the synopsis, this sounds right up my alley. But holy hell, I can‘t think of a book in recent memory that was less preferable than watching paint dry. #newyearwhodis (sorry @emilyhaldi 😬) #classicschallenge2020 #paralondis
