Welcome to Litsy!

2 #libraries 1 mini #libraryhaul (bottom two titles had to be 're borrowed' after the first renewal period ended) #LitsylovesLibraries
The tagged book, caught my eye as I made my way out of the library, is for my son (hopefully I get to read it too ;)) The aim is to introduce more nonfiction to him. #librarybooks #AprilinBooks18
The various reading plans led me to read mostly #authorsNewtoMe
#santhiReads2018

THIS!!
What's the point of reunion?
Not all are eager to get reacquainted with the past, at least not always.

I hadn't realised how much I had missed Isabel Dalhousie's musings and reflection. Maybe I am finally ready to be in the same frequency as her ;))

Oh, just in time for the last #LitWorld2018GB Contours of Love title set in #Scotland 14/40 #santhiReads2018

Isabel and Jamie's marriage are simply #relationshipGoals

I call this my introductory textbook to book trade. Loved the insights into the history and various facets of the thriving industry. An industry that's the lifeline for us readers.
The folklore of Ulysses and those bookstores mentioned here... #santhiReads2018
Life is good when the weekend sees books completed and the week starts with completing another satisfying book!

#Booked2018 1/4 Mission accomplished!
Such satisfying reads! I just realized all are written by females #readingWomen #santhiReads2018
(now I am curious about male authors of cozy mystery/ Feminist books 🤔 🤔 )

I can understand why Woolf's essay remains a classic. I will need to reread the genius' writing again to fully comprehend but what an eye-opener.

Thrilled for the next quarter's #titles. Woohoo (for myself! ;)) lol

#Booked2018 #LitWorld2018GB - #Palestine (Author's ethnicity) #santhiReads2018

Brilliant writing, thick with emotion, swept me through the family's hopes and tribulations. Their togetherness kept me glued to the heart-tugging story

I think this quote captures the essence of my current favourite novel. #santhiReads2018

"Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an #exile his friends are everything."

Today's #libraryhaul includes star of this month (dare I say, even the year ;)) my FebruaryFavourite - Count Rostov & Co.

I recently wondered if there's any contemporary writer who writes similarly to P G Wodehouse. I believe I found my answer in A Gentleman in Moscow.
I wouldn't elevate Towles to the genius of Wodehouse but the exceptional characters stole my heart.
There are better written books but this marvelous story will remain memorable.

#FinishingFebruary includes books completed for #readaroundtheworld #LitsyBuddyRead #BOTMbuddyRead and #LitWorld2018GB - Thailand

The delightful series set in Chiang Mai did not disappoint and I am looking forward to the sequel.

Discussion led by @LitsyBuddyRead made this a good read. Like many, I found it slow in the beginning and couldn't easily connect with the characters. Recovering from end of war can take almost a lifetime, if ever at all.

That doesn't take away how skilfully Shattuck presents war sufferings from various perspectives.
All suffered, they just suffered differently. #santhiReads2018
