cocomass @GingerAntics the price was the most offensive part, and my motivation to not have to retake 😜 6y

GingerAntics I never thought of how much it was going to cost, so I just looked it up for the first time the other day. That of obscene!!! 6y

Hello Again | Jeane Daly

I can‘t believe it‘s been 3months since I was last here! My last post was my family on vacation, enjoying the beginning of summer. 4days after returning home, we were in the hospital. My hubs, my best friend had a stroke. Tho minor, it rocked our world. It took 3months of intense pt/ot, but he is 90% back to pre-stroke status and we couldn‘t be happier! And, I‘m getting back to ‘outside‘ life again!

Now, where‘s my book!?

Hello Again | Jeane Daly

Hey Littens, I hope all is well with you guys. I'm finally feeling better physically. The tiny human in my womb is still draining me of all energy but I'm making it. Yet another school shooting here in the US is taking its toll mentally. One bright spot of the day, I participated in my first ever panel discussion: Women & Diversity Today. Great discussion, literally could've done it all day. Maybe the first of many?

Tamra I‘m glad you are feeling even a bit better! What a terrific topic for discussion, I wish I could have listened in! 7y

Texreader Sounds terrific! Glad you are doing better. Probably a nice adrenaline pump! 7y

EchoLogical @Tamra @Texreader Thanks ladies. The morning sickness has faded so now I'm trying to take advantage of a bunch of opportunities before we move and the baby comes. 7y

Hello Again | Jeane Daly

Hello dear Litsy friends. As I look back over 2017 I see huge swings in my reading habits due to life, college, kids and mood. The best bits of the year it is definitely entwined with the most bookish litsyish bits of the year. My Litsy friends inspire me, support me and lead me astray (when you talk about books I just can‘t live without regardless of how much college work I have to do!) 2018 I plan to be more consistently Litsy! Happy New Year❤️

sprainedbrain Great post! Happy New Year ❤️ 7y

Hollie I 💜 The Great Gatsby! 7y

Jess_Read_This @Hollie ❤️🙌🏼❤️I love meeting fellow Gatsby fans! 7y

jfalkens I'm over by Kalamazoo 😀 7y

emmekamalei Yeahhh Gatsby 😊 I've always loved how rhythmic the writing is in that novel. 7y

emmekamalei also @jfalkens we had our wedding reception in Kalamazoo (midway between us and my husband's fam)! 7y

jfalkens @emmekamalei thats awesome ☺ I'm about 20 mins north of Kalamazoo. 7y

Jess_Read_This @jfalkens @emmekamalei How neat! The west side of the state is so gorgeous. It also helps all the best craft breweries are over there too.. 🤔🍻 7y

Jess_Read_This @emmekamalei Every time I read Gatsby something new presents itself! I love that in a novel. 7y

emmekamalei @Jess_Read_This @jfalkens indeed they have plenty of breweries! The trend is starting to creep down to us in Northern Indiana too which is nice 😉 7y

emmekamalei @Jess_Read_This how many time have you read it? Would you recommend any other Fitzgerald in particular too? 7y

beccaeve I am also from the Mitten and live near Detroit! 7y

LauraBrook Omg, I can't wait for Timeless to come back! 7y

Jess_Read_This @emmekamalei I've read Gatsby about 5 times now. Maureen Corrigan, who I adore as a Gatsby expert, says she tries to read it once a year. I've listened to it twice one audio w different narrators- highly recommend! I'll be honest- I'm just diving into Fitzgerald's works and biographies of both him and Zelda. I'd either read some of his short stories- like Berenice Bobs Her Hair or read is first novel that put him on the map: This Side of Paradise.

This Side of Paradise and Other Classic Works

Jess_Read_This @emmekamalei Oh! One short work that I haven't read yet but it came highly recommended to me by another Fitzgerald lover is Magnetism. It's part of Penguin's Great Loves series. She said it's just beautiful. It's a short book that has some of his short stories- Magnetism and Berenice Bobs Her Hair in it.

Magnetism

Jess_Read_This @LauraBrook omg me too! What did you think of all the drama with the renewal? Some folks think it was staged for publicity... I think it was Rittenhouse. 🤔😆 7y

Jess_Read_This @beccaeve No way! We are practically neighbors! I'm in the Macomb County area. I think there are a few other Littens near us. We need a Mitten Litten Meet Up!! 7y

emmekamalei Thanks for the recs! I want to read Tender is the Night at some point. I've read some short stories—my favorite is "The Offshore Pirate" 7y

Jess_Read_This @emmekamalei I haven't read that one yet! I'm pretty sure I have to have it- I have several volumes of his short stories that I've parts of. I'm going to read that one today. Thanks for the recommendation! 😊💕 7y

LauraBrook @Jess_Read_This Hah, it was totally Rittenhouse!!! 😂😂😂 7y

emmekamalei I'll look forward to hearing what you think of it!! 7y

beccaeve @Jess_Read_This I'm in Macomb county too! I've been thinking about a Littens from the Mitten meet up. That would be awesome! 7y

Jess_Read_This @beccaeve Omigosh you are so close! Definitely count me in the Litten Meet Up! Maybe we can all meet for lunch and a book buying trip! 7y
