Welcome to Litsy!

This has been one of my go-to trip planning books for years. It explores places around the globe that have literary significance. It gives recommendations of places to visit, dine at, stay at, and more. I love seeing the detail of authors lives, and the significance of different spots I may have missed. Highly recommended and perfect for planning my upcoming trip to Concord, Mass.

There‘s a cottage industry around visiting the sites that inspired authors & the places they lived / worked. IDK what causes the fevered interest to get into their minds through what they saw, where they sat, what pens they used. But it‘s a real affliction & one that is salved by this guidebook. No need to review this: you already know whether you want to read it. I also suggest the travel essays “In the Footsteps”. Yes, I am one of the afflicted.

#3books #thatmademewanttotravel

I‘ve read and enjoyed all 3 titles and all 3 gave me the travel bug.

I got this today and have barely skimmed it yet my bucket list is exploding. 📚🌍📚🌎📚🌏

This is a #blameitonlitsy buy. #bookmail 😁

A fun look at literary places of classic authors, this book includes bookish museums, hotels, restaurants, and even literary festivals. It also takes a deeper dive into the regions inhabited by a handful of the greats. A fun way to find inspiration for your next trip!

No chance I will get to attend any of these.
BUT if someone gets to go to "A Little Women Christmas" at Alcott's home in Concord, MA or The Enchanted Garden at the Poe Museum in Richmond, VA, please do post pics! ?

#TBRtemptation post 8! This is the bibliophile's ultimate travel guide!!! Over 500 destinations & landmarks across the US & Europe, pointing to where authors lived & were inspired. Sit at the Venice cafe table where Hemingway read his obituary. Enter Washington Irving's house where the Van Tassel family stayed. Visit the stone tower that inspired Ulysses' opening scene. Stroll across The House of the 7 Gables' lawn. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Here's one of my #HappyReads ... because it comes off the shelf when a holiday is being planned. 🙂 #MarchIntoReading

Just a couple of titles about one of my favorite non-fiction subjects, books!

#FunFridayPhoto Here is another type of revolving bookcase (for @Leniverse ). This one is for travel books and I keep a big honking atlas on top. #shelfie

This wonderful book from the national geographic society is perfect for anyone seeking out literary destinations ... And I'm sure you would find yourself using planes, trains & automobiles to get there! (Plus a few boats, bicycles & balloons too!!)

This is one of my favorite books to reference when I'm planning a trip. It covers literary landmarks all over the place. From New York City to Harper Lee's Monroeville, it highlights what bibliophiles should check out while on the road.
