Welcome to Litsy!

Found this on a free book trolley this morning in the lobby of the library where I work sometimes. Free books are always nice.

I‘m vacationing and visiting my daughter in England, so I plan to have a low-key and relaxed #20in4 readathon, with only a couple of hours of reading each day.

However, I‘m having fun doing book-related things, like seeing today a couple of places where the Father Brown series is filmed.

@Andrew65

I didn‘t read the entire collection, but I will be. Father Brown is a very like-able character. It‘s an interesting take to have a Catholic priest solve mysteries! ☺️ He explains that after listening to confessions for as long as he has, he knows the hearts of men better than most. I always enjoyed the reveal and the recurring character of Flambeau. I don‘t think this is a collection you read all at once but over time.

Recent acquisition from the used bookstore. Probably gonna save it to read at Christmas.

Forgot to review this...it is a good collection of stories, but definitely something you have to be in the mood for. Great description and asides in the narration, but rather more casual racism in said narration than I remember 😐

Finished the Father Brown collection! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Also, get a load of these temperatures: as of 3 p.m., it's 35 degrees C with a humidex of 47 😐😫💀
I will continue the #CanadaDayReadathon later. Might watch some TV.

I might end up finishing this collection today; I'm tired of having it on my bedside table!
Some of the typesetting is a bit weird, such as the upside-down "m" ?
I've read just over 6 h between Sat and Sun and should rack up another 2 or 3 hours this afternoon. ?

😆 Chesterton's at it again!

Reading in bed with a flashlight at the ready. High winds caused our power to go out for about 30 seconds to a minute, so I want to be prepared for any other outages. (It was NOT FUN trying to find the flashlight while it was pitch black!)
Stay upright, southern Ontario Littens!

#teaquotes

Judging from this comment and the disparaging remarks about two other characters' beards, I suspect that Chesterton feels very strongly about facial hair ?
Quote from "The Duel of Dr. Hirsch", in The Wisdom of Father Brown

Reading in bed by quarter to 9, ohh yeah 😎🤘🏼

I adore Father Brown! I don‘t want it to end so I only allow myself a few episodes a week...yet I‘ve come to the end of season 3 already! I‘ll have to read the short stories. Already own a Kindle copy.

Anyone else a fan?

I‘ve never read these stories, but I remember I‘ve enjoyed watching a few episodes on BBC.

Thinking of a #vicar, I remembered that cover. Holding his hat like that, I must always think of Mr Collins and his attitudes. 🙈

@Bambolina_81 these are the other three editions. 😍🤗

@sarah83 This was a strange one...The Queer Feet. I love that title 🤣 It always amuses me how Father Brown is summoned to all these strange places / situations. He's always in the wrong place at the wrong time...or is he?

I'll be getting on with the fourth story tonight. Sorry for taking so long!

Tonight's #audiocoloring 😁

Coloring while watching #FatherBrown

Some sleepy #Septimus for your enjoyment. 💜 #catsofLitsy

Lazy day. Coloring. Binge watching #FatherBrown with #Septimus

Coloring while watching Father Brown. 👍🏼

I love this tv series so I think it's about time I try the original stories 😊 I'm really looking forward to these short stories.

Snowy Saturday reading. "He had a face as round and dull as a Norfolk dumpling; he had eyes as empty as the North Sea."

"We have found the truth; and the truth makes no sense."

My grandma started me on mysteries she read those Travis McGee books and the Ellery Queen mystery magazine so of course I read them too. The Jackal, The Eye of the Needle, Georgette Heyer, Sherlock Holmes, boy I've read an abundance of mystery stories 🐉#FunFridayPhoto
