Welcome to Litsy!

Oh boy, did I ever struggle through this. It seems like the type of book I would like, but nope. There was a lot going on in this novel and some of it I could relate to but the main character was a man with seemingly no emotional connection to anything and I have had enough of those guys. 😀 At least it‘s off my TBR pile.

Omg love at first sight😍 page one made me swoon and it was only uphill from there. Beautifully written, tragic, and gripping.

I like books with books on the cover.😂😂 #booknerd

“In a few minutes I heard the books' voices: a low, steady, unsupressible hum. I'd heard it many times before. I've always had a finely tuned ear for a library's accumulations of echo and desire. Libraries are anything but hushed.”

Loved this book when I read it ages ago!

The very first book club I started seemed to inadvertently end up with themes running through several book club picks. There was a season where we unintentionally read a whole set of books about librarians or libraries. I also read Possession somewhere around that time, and it fits right in. I guess this is really a double book pairing. Or book quadrupling?! #bookpairings #fallintobooks

I have SO many books to choose from for #setinalibrary, but I'll go with this one since I haven't seen it mentioned yet! Central to the plot is a sealed cache of T.S. Eliot's letters, not to be read until a date decades in the future. It explores fascinating ideas about public vs. private writings, and what readers should or shouldn't have access to. Pair with a read of Possession by A.S. Byatt... also #setinalibrary. #seasonsreadings2016
