Welcome to Litsy!

Does anyone know why these words are underlined? It‘s just a regular paperback version....

I‘m thinking it would normally be italicized, but it‘s not 🤔 - like you would see in a large print book, but I‘m not sure.

There was just so much going on. A part of me wants to try and reread it again because Essex Serpent was so good! The flipping back and forth from the journal and third person I found unnecessary and the part about him using the other gentleman stuff. Felt weird

I'm writing this in a stranger's room on a broken chair at an old school desk.

Trying really hard with this but just not as gripping as #theEssexserpent

I actually enjoyed this one. It wasn‘t a happy book, and there was a lot going on, but it was good.

This Goodreads giveaway win arrived today. I really loved Sarah Perry‘s latest book, Melmoth. I thought it was very different. I‘m looking forward to reading this one, her debut novel. Thank you Goodreads! #Goodreads #giveawaywinner

This book had a lot going on. I don't know if I liked it.

Also I was using this postcard as a bookmark. It came with an awesome movie that I bought.

Watch the movie 🎥. Maybe skip the book 📖.

1. Yes, when I was studying and had no time for extracurricular readings and a few times when I‘ve had bad personal problems

2. Graduating or getting over the personal problems

3. Ooh any city that I don‘t know well - I love London and New York but have read so much set there, I‘d rather explore Lagos or Manila.

4. It took me ages to think but tagged! And I always love American editions more than English ones

1. Love this book and the cover 💖
2. Actual valentines I have an evening class but on the 13th me and Matt are having a movie and pizza night in together (we‘re broke from booking Paris together yesterday 😕) and on the 12th my long distance BFF and I are doing a Netflix date
3. orange makes me look like a Victorian invalid
4. Alexander Francis - I kinda love it, Oxford pimms on the lawn vibes

Nearly forgot to mention I signed up for this the other day! I can‘t get enough of swaps #jolabokaflodswap

I'm not quite sure what to make of this, Sarah Perry's debut novel. It's beautifully written in a lingering, haunting way, but with a protoganist I didn't particularly care for and a random assortment of characters who you only get to know in brief glimpses. There's enough of a mystery to keep me reading to the end, and I can't resist a wonderfully turned-out phrase, which Perry delivers fairly frequently! I much prefer The Essex Serpent, though.

I love The Essex Serpent so much, I went back and bought Perry‘s debut on eBay. It arrived with gummy patches on the covers from price tags. I whipped out my GooGone and buffed this book right up!

Absolutely love the cover of this book, the book not so much, a rare one I bailed on.

I'm a day behind but here are some of my #silhouettesoncovers. I have several others but I've used them in earlier posts. Clearly silhouettes are very popular! #SeasonsReadings2016

Started out really good and creepy. But then it felt like it didn't develop at all and I felt nothing for the characters at all!! Gave up half way through! Still love the cover though.

Next off the tbr pile! I don't even remember buying this, someone must have recommended it! Anyone read it?

Reading raves about this new to me authors books.
