£3 charity book haul. The tagged one I've read so I it got for my mum.
Thank you so much for the gift Libby @libby1 - so lovely of you! I haven't read this one, but I've read THUG and I thought it was excellent, so looking forward to reading this one.
Hope you're surviving the NI summer. My mum said she's getting webbed feet...(she has a way with words). It's not much better here. Hope the sun comes out soon.
It's my Litsyversary! Maybe I should buy myself a present? I think the traditional 3-year Litsy present is a book?
How beautiful are these? Helping me forget about the bad weather and work stress. #audiowalk #dogsoflitsy
pickThis is a lovely read. Susan was such a fun character. If you liked Eleanor Oliphant, then give this one a try too 🌵🌵🌵🌵
Spontaneous charity shop purchases. Anyone read these?
Trying to stave off jetlag with sunshine and #audioknitting
Don't nap, don't nap
This is my third attempting at reading the tagged book. I've bailed twice in hardcopy, but getting on much better with the audio version
It's perfectly normal to pretend you live in a fancy Chicago apartment, and aren't actually just stuck in a hotel working, right?
But as temporary offices go, it's not so bad - what a view. I can even just see the lake.
I really want to start this book and not be working!
Quick lunch break for amazing buffalo chicken tacos. I'm obsessed with these. And there just happens to be a barnes and noble behind that tree. Maybe just a quick browse...
Chicago-bound today - hoping this one should be a good page turner to while away the hours
Poor poor choice of breakfast reading, Emma. Poor.
It's actually rather good but it does NOT go well with food. I think this might be the only 'proper' gory horror I've read (outside of SK who isn't that gory really).
It's not been a great week for reading and Litsying, so finally getting back to this book which I am loving (even though I kind of know the plot already from the film The Handmaiden). My pink port is also going down a treat.
So ridiculously cute! Just ordered him and Hedwig from Aldi. Only £3.99!
Last day of holidays 😭
I think we need a replacement dog, we seem to have worn this one out. #dogsoflitsy
Picked up these cute Scottish books for my niece. So adorable 😍
Some serious holiday relaxing going on here. #dogsoflitsy
Liking this book a lot so far @rachelo - thank you again!
pickSo good! I flew through this. On the surface it seems light and fun (and it is) but with another more serious layer too. Tiffy and Leon are brilliant characters to spend time with. (And there's a crochet connection within the book too, which is my other current obsession)
Lovely, if windy, reading spot today. I am really enjoying this book, thanks for the heads-up on the bargain @Birdsong28
Literary g&t anyone?
Just had to share this lovely book mark from @squirrelbrain - did you make it? I love it.
I've been reading the tagged book (it's bringing back lots of memories of awesome and some less awesome 80s/90s teen fiction), and found a new book for your tbr @TrishB
Thank you so much @eraderneely and @kathedron - so kind of you to send me these. I look forward to reading these both.
Thank you so much for the lovely presents. It really made my day. @Caroline2 @RachelO @TrishB @Cathythoughts @squirrelbrain I feel really spoiled and lucky to know such lovely people through litsy ❤️❤️❤️#jbuk
It may not be warm, but we're sitting outside anyway. It's the British way #dogsoflitsy
Thank you @squirrelbrain and @Cathythoughts - lovely to come home to some packages after a long day travelling! I'll try to be good and save them! #jbuk
When at a standstill on the motorway for an hour, not much else to do but get an extra chapter in.
Just remembered I was supposed to read my book club book this week! Got too distracted by other books and crochet. And I nominated this one, so I better get reading.
Enjoying my last couple of hours at Hotel du Mum's House
Happy birthday Oscar from Daisy, who turns 7 in 2 weeks 🎂🎉

Easter plans 😍
Hope everyone is having a lovely long weekend
That's my day planned.
(That's an upside down dog on the grass if anyone is wondering)
pickReally worthwhile read. And beautifully written. Really accessible account of what it's like to be a scientist. Having been a scientist for a while myself, it definitely rung true, although she is much more passionate about it than I was (hence why I now write about it, rather than doing it!). The lack of funding for science and the constant struggle for grants seems to be a problem everywhere.
Bonus: I learnt lots of cool things about trees
#audiocrochet
Crocheting has finally clicked for me @julesG 😎 - only the basics, but after just not getting it for the longest time, I might now be addicted.
That's a well read book! My completely battered, read many many times, childhood copy 😍
pickI loved this. So much to think about now after reading this. And a really strong sense of time and place. I read this on audio (tbh, the narrator wasn't the best, the differences between the character voices were almost non existent, although once I got into it, the differences in the writing style between the girls meant I could identify them quickly) but this is one I think I'll need to get a nice physical copy for the collection.
My #litsyreadingretreat blind date with a book (we did a blind book swap at the retreat).
Started this one today @eraderneely
And even though I thought I hadn't had heard of it, some how I had added to my Litsy TBR already.
I've taken to the high seas. Perfect for getting some reading done.
I changed to a city centre office recently. This is the temptation I have on my doorstep. The fiction room at Waterstones Manchester 😍
I was good and only bought the present I wanted for my nephew and nothing for me. Well done me. 😉
