Welcome to Litsy!

Read this one for my book club. It feels like a book very much of its time.

1956. Newby leaves his parent‘s fashion business and sets off to explore Nuristan, a remote region of #Afghanistan, with his old friend Hugh. They are, it turns out, hopelessly unprepared!

I enjoyed the humour. Newby pokes fun constantly at himself & particularly at Hugh. I was delighted when Wanda, his wife, decided to travel with them for the start. And it was lovely to get a glimpse of the country in peacetime, rather than during conflict.

Giving this a go for my next audiobook.

I‘ve never read Eric Newby before, & I‘m not sure what to expect. 1956. Two well-heeled British chaps drop everything & head off on an adventure.

We haven‘t left London yet, so plenty of potential for it to go icky, but so far it‘s v funny - I‘m getting The Good Life vibes, but 20 yrs earlier. And Wanda (Mrs Newby) has declared she‘s dropping the kids at her mother‘s & travelling with them. Go Wanda!!

#riotgrams #day4, #travelsandadventures Two I still need to get to.

#currentlyreading can you tell I am stuck on travel books? 😜 I can't help it, I love feeling like I'm traveling through the story of another..since I still have another 40 days until my next trip🌴

#riotgrams #whereiread this is more comfy than it looks but I seem to spend many hours in this chair which I have dubbed "The Reading Chair" I know, clever right!??

#feistyfeb #tbr Mount TBR is way to large but here some short term goals 😌

I just got these delivered via inter library loan, surely one of modern life's deepest pleasures. I'm going on not one, but TWO great adventures. Better pack my pocket handkerchief and plenty of second breakfast! 😍🏞

I am actually excited for a 3-4 hour wait. I came prepared. Time to crack open my next book club selection... A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush by Eric Newby. #SparkleMotionBookClub #currentlyreading
