Welcome to Litsy!

My first Anne Brontë novel. I liked the headstrong main character and could understand how she made her disastrous first marriage...but I never warmed up to Mr. Markham. I can see how this very forward thinking book would have made waves in its time. Definitely interesting to read and recognize what has and what has not changed in our expectations in the behavior of men and women. #ClassicsChallenge2020

"It is foolish to wish for beauty. Sensible people never either desire it for themselves or care about it in others. If the mind be but well cultivated, and the heart well disposed, no one ever cares for the exterior."

Here's a pretty #DeckleEdge on an old copy of Agnes Grey that I bought at an antique shop in Haworth. Check out that glorious old bookplate! #FeistyFeb

Dec was an almost non reading month for me!! Well except for maybe recipes and nutrition labels on foods!! My grown Kids have been in town for 1/2 Dec. Only 2 serial readers and 1 & 1/2 audio & 1/2 hardback!! But it's been a great month for family.

So so great!
Loved every minute of it!
Very nerve wrecking too
