Welcome to Litsy!

A very enjoyable escapist read! 3/14 #14books14weeks2023 #serieslove23 #192025

Are we allowed to change our list once started #14books14weeks2023? Every time I pick up one of these Poldark novels I am reminded why they are beloved. Quality writing, likes le characters facing universal hardships with dignity, and a story that just Carrie‘s you 100 pages in a blink. Now I want to spend the rest of the list finishing this whole series and put off the little bit of this and that approach I started with! #serieslove23

I am excited for #serieslove2023 as these series have been half done on my shelves for sometime! Had them on my 2023 TBR radar but this will help me stick to it and not feel like I am missing out on other options. Poldark, Officer Bruno, Department Q, and my “get out of a reading slump” standby sue Grafton‘s alphabet

Packed with adventure and intrigue, this is the fastest-paced Poldark novel so far.

It also has some disquieting scenes which force the reader to re-evaluate their sympathies towards or away from the main characters. Utterly engrossing. 🖤

2 Poldark Books off my shelf & in my truck to donate!
I found Warleggan problematic. It was originally published in 1953 & it shows. The whole she said no but she means yes attitude. The its not my fault, I couldn't help myself mindset of men. Yes I realize setting is 1793 but IMHO it smacks of Bad Romance Trope. #mounttbr

Poldark again; for #mounttbr. Did finally get a couple chapters in last night. Every Day, Baker's Secret, & Shetland #7 are #libraryholds - hopefully in soon. Steampunk Darcy is #blameLitsy. It & Rejected Writer's are #blamekindleunlimited 2months for .99cents Special. Invisible Library - CD #inmytruck. After last month's #paperbackstack had to invoke #fluffrule & #readserious - Cosmo #intheglasshouse. #marchtbr 🤓 #readingresolutions @Jess7

Am starting this one now. #4...although he is my least favorite character in the series....a real scoundrel!

Might be a bit over zealous on the #poldark but a friend gave me the next 9 😯 books in the series. They've got to go! Taking up way to much space on my shelf. #MountTBR #febuarytbr #readingresolutions @jess7

WWDD?

What Would Demelza Do?

😃

I am beginning to adore this series.

Author Winston Graham called this series "the story of a marriage". It is. There is no false-feeling romance. No easy answers. But it is still, at heart, about love.

I'm going straight on to book 5, The Black Moon. Soon I will have caught up with the TV series!

"I can always be sure of one thing, Dwight, that your charity, which covers so much, never extends to yourself."

Back to Cornwall with the Poldarks.

Don't do it, Ross. Don't do it.

Books 4-6. 🤗

"I've got to be up early tomorrow," I said. I'll get an early night," I said. "I won't read in bed tonight," I said....Even Tara is judging me! It's not MY fault that the fourth book in the Poldark saga has suddenly kicked up the plot, pacing and suspense by an enormous degree!! I can't be held accountable for breaking such rash promises when the loves, lives and livelihoods of fictional characters are at stake! #catsoflitsy

My date for the evening.

"Those who are left are different people trying to live the same lives."

A beautiful and eloquent description of loss.

(I blurred out the spoilery parts, so don't look to hard...)

Just came in for me at the library. I can only imagine what might happen in this book (and the back cover blurb worries me about Ross making a stupid decision...).

Prepared to continue to have my heart ripped out by these characters.
