Welcome to Litsy!

New day. New book. No baby.

I‘ve started randomly selecting titles from my shelves and the strategy has yet to disappoint!

Bookmark snark to perfectly articulate my current #bigmood is thanks to @britt_brooke 😘

What a wonderful little book, packed with a bit of everything and so many of life‘s lessons.
Wonderfully written, wish it had been longer.
Loved Maggie, the MC, very brave and wise 💕
@saresmoore truly, I think you will love this.

Lunchtime read 😁
Brought this what seems like ages ago based on a recommendation from @shawnmooney today it called to me from the tbr! I‘m loving the MC so far.

A first meeting. A meeting in the desert, a meeting at sea, meeting in the city, meeting at night, meeting at a grave, meeting in the sunshine beside the forest, beside water. Human beings meet, yet the meetings are not the same. Meeting partakes in its very essence not only of the persons but of the place of meeting. And that essence of place remains, and colors, faintly the association, perhaps forever.

#SoFar
My favorite reads of the year so far.

This central image in this 1954 novel about a woman reinventing herself after leaving an unhappy marriage is of her friend, an old woman, juggling a revolver. Huh? I invite you to fall into this story, to delight in how Ethel Wilson juggles the urban and the natural, the potent tensions of rebellion, reinvention, and convention in women's lives. I hope that it all spins in the air for you as kaleidoscopically—as meaningfully—as it did for me.

I studied this at university a million years ago, and all I can remember about it is that I loved it. Now that I've re-read the first chapter, I can definitely see why!

I either studied this Canadian classic at university or just read it way back then - all these years later, the only thing I recall is that I loved it. Time for a re-read!
