Welcome to Litsy!

After binge watching series 4 of The Crown, I am now seriously in the mood for some Royalty reads. 😀 👑 📖

Not a typical biography (and nor is it intended to be); this is funny, gossipy, irreverent and at times quite mean. I lost track of the huge number of people referenced, the timeline shifts all over the place and veers into fantasy at times, but it was fascinating nevertheless whatever your thoughts on the Royal Family. A glimpse, perhaps at times unreliable, of a privileged but also complicated and apparently often unhappy life. Cover gets a 🖤

We have had a really nice Christmas so far. Here is my little in her new light up raccoon hat 🤣 husband got me a stack of books that I bought haha. I forgot to take a pic but am psyched about the tagged! Merry Christmas friends!

Next up.

I‘ve watched both seasons of “The Crown”. So when I saw this in the bookstores when I visited London last year, I had to have this. We don‘t get to know that much about Princess Margaret in the series, but what has been shown has sparked my interest to find out more. From the blurb, I think I will.

I came into this book knowing very little about Princess Margaret. I really enjoyed finding out things about her in little doses. I only wish it had more pictures of her.

This book is giving me such joy! It‘s one that I got on my trip to the UK this summer. It‘s a witty, snarky, imaginative and irreverent look at one of the most polarizing royals of modern times! I‘m thoroughly enjoying it.

A fascinating glimpse into the life of a Royal we don't really talk about much these days. I don't think I had ever heard of Princess Margaret before watching "The Crown" and that really is a shame as she certainly was an interesting woman! This book was a little long for my tastes as there is only so much gossip you can take before it starts to feel mean, yet I'd still recommend this for fans of the Royal Family. See my blog for more! ?

I‘m due to start this months reading in heels book as soon as I finish Phaedo and I‘m very excited. I‘ve already used the daytime eye mask and ate one of these DELICIOUS rosè wine gums!! (I will be buying a whole box, they are the best idea). It‘s certainly been great this month and going to be the one to top.

Do you subscribe? What did you think of the August birthday box!? #bookish #booklover

I've just opened my second subscription box from Reading in Heels UK. Can't wait to get started on Ma'am Darling, has anyone read it yet?

Have you ever tried a book subscription box? Do you have any recommendations??

I don‘t make monthly TBR because I just don‘t stick to them.. ever. Saying that, I intend to definitely read these three books in August. I‘ve started the journals of Anaïs Nin vol I and it is everything I could have hoped for. I‘ll be starting Little Fires Everywhere tomorrow and #maamdarling is this months read from @readinginheelsuk

What is a book you‘d love to read this month? #bookaddict #bookblog #bookworm #booklover
