Welcome to Litsy!

In honor of today being the 112th anniversary of that fateful day, a small selection of my #Titanic books.
This ship has fascinated me since I was a child. 🚢

This was mostly good. There were a few parts that got bogged down in detail explaining the technology or what was working (or not) that was, at times, a bit too much for me. It was a slow read, but overall, I liked it. It was unfortunate that others “raided” the site. Ballard had hoped that everything would remain there in its own graveyard, but of course, that didn‘t happen. Cont in comments...

Little Free Library spoils from the holidays.

I‘m bailing. Hate to do it, but since looking at the excellent books I read in January I don‘t want to lose that streak of excellence just starting off in February. This book is dry as dirt. There‘s a shipwreck but it‘s not as dire as it makes out. They‘re on an island with a constant food source (sea lions) and ability to build shelter. If it weren‘t cast as so life-threatening then maybe it‘d be ok. But the attempt at drama is poor. ⬇️

One of dozens of #Titanic books I own, having been fascinated by the ship since I was little.

I really liked the first part where we were following the story in real time. I lost some interest in the descriptions of what other people thought happened in the following 50 years.
