Welcome to Litsy!

#Bibliophile #LostInTitle one of my favorite books about the time period. She knew everyone who came through Paris at the time.Hemingway,Fitzgerald, Stein, James Joyce . She was the first to publish Ulysses.

I had my blankets all set up ready to go in my book room, but in the time it took me to make my tea and come back I discovered that SOMEONE had stolen my spot! 😂😸 I think Chaplin loves cozy reading snow days as much as I do! ❤📖❤ #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #chaplin

On this day, a hundred years ago, Sylvia Beach opened her English language bookshop in Paris! It also served as a lending library, and as a publishing house, becoming the first institution to publish James Joyce's Ulysses! 😍📚💕

#30JuneBooks #shelves Some of my favorites reside on these shelves .Surrealism , poetry, 20th century authors.And ,of course, some random books , always sorting!🤦‍♀️

This may include too much detail and too little narrative propulsion for most readers, but if you are interested in the Lost Generation, this book is a treasure trove of information. I particularly enjoyed learning about Sylvia Beach, the founder of Paris's original Shakespeare & Company bookstore and an inspiring female who, in some ways, acted as a Litsy for her time.😉

Listening to Erik Satie and reading about literary Paris in early 20th century.
