Welcome to Litsy!

I didn't know what to expect from this, but I think that is a good thing. I did enjoy it. Now, I am back to caring for my teenager with the flu. #WinterReadathon

In my usual psychic way 🤯 Netflix is showing a new Lady Chatterly‘s Lover this December … some of us had discussed this book earlier this year as it was mentioned in a book we read. So I planned it for August 2023 as a fun Romance read month pick. 📕

Anyway here‘s your heads up that you can watch the movie then read the book with us!

This was a truly compelling novel. It had me blushing within ten pages. It was definitely an interesting relationship between the characters. Overall it was a very good story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

But a great deal of us is together, and we can but abide by it, and steer our courses to meet soon. John Thomas says good-night to Lady Jane, a little droopingly, but with a hopeful heart.

"Lawrence's frank portrayal of an extramarital affair and the explicit sexual explorations of it's central characters caused this controversial book, now considered a masterpiece, to be banned as pornography until 1960."

Well I can see why this was banned back in the day. Some of the language even now would upset some people‘s sensibilities 🤣

Overall I enjoyed this one. A lady in a sexless marriage begins an affair with her husbands game keeper. I do struggle reading dialect in books, and it shames me to admit this as a Yorkshire lass, but it took some deciphering when the game keeper slipped into that vernacular!

The child in me is loving 🥰 the Bookly app 😀

A damn sight easier to read that the rainbow , without doubt LCL is a classic and the first of its kind , yes it still is quite saucy in places but not so much for our modern sensibilities the Bridgerton books are far more 😆after the first 40 or so pages it does become easier to read and totally understandable why it was so shocking in its day,however the tale of an illicit affair between a man and a woman from different classes is as old as time

How stunning 🤩 is this cloth bound edition ? How mad am I tackling two Lawrence‘s in one month . Must admit abit disappointed 😔 with the rainbow so better luck with this one, I‘m sure (if tv adaptions are semi true ) this one will be far more passionate than the rainbow

I got this from a used bookstore and I think it was a pretty cheap edition in the first place. I managed to finish reading it before it completely fell apart 🤣
I liked it for the most part. I was surprised at how much Lawrence seemed to understand women.

Finished Lady Chattterley's Lover. I have a lot of underdeveloped thoughts on the depiction of race and gender in a book that bangs you over the head with classicism and industrialization.

📘 Absolutely! I hate people telling me what they think is appropriate for me and how to think. Of course, I am going to do exactly what you tell me not to.
📘 Not really.
📘 Tagged. I have a physical copy just haven't got around to reading it yet.

Lawrence's frank portrayal of an extramarital affair and the explicit sexual explorations of its central characters caused this controversial book, now considered a masterpiece, to be banned as pornography until 1960. It is an interesting expose of women and a peek at the politics of the time. I found that it has not much of a story but must issue a warning: explicit language and dragged in parts.

If you‘re gonna post about a banned book why not start with a biggie? #bannedbooksweek2021 #obscenelanguage #smut #obscene

My display for Banned Book week (classics) for work. I think it turned out really well.
The shelf reader have quotes from why it was banned. My personal favorite is for Animal Farm: “Orwell was a Communist”

This one was a bit underwhelming for me although I can see how it was classed as a bit raunchy for it‘s time

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.

"Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen."

This is one of my favorite openings! ??

#bookspinbingo check-in; I just finished my #bookspin (tagged book). I definitely understand why it was banned for so long. There were a few parts that dragged and some of Mellors regional dialect was difficult to make out, but overall I enjoyed it. There are some quote gems and a few laugh out loud bits, including the last line of the book. As always, thank you to @TheAromaofBooks for hosting!

I love the quotes on these Canterbury Classics...and this one is 😍.

Working on my January #bookspin pick. I‘m also using this one as my Smutty Classic in my Catching Up On The Classics Challenge. 🔥

“We‘ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.” - Chapter 1, Lady Chatterley‘s Lover by D.H. Lawrence

Lazy Saturday! I‘m suppose to be doing laundry but cuddles with my lazy cat and reading is what I‘m doing!

Who has read this one? I‘m on a kick about reading all the banned books! Got to know why they were banned.

Money poisons you when you've got it, and starves you when you haven't.

I only want one thing of men, and that is, that they should leave me alone.

I‘ve now read three books by Lawrence, and I think it‘s safe to say he‘s not for me. I‘m not a fan of how he writes women, and it seems like nothing really happens outside of the sex. I will say this book is quite explicit, especially for when it was published, but that of course doesn‘t mean it‘s good. And for me, it‘s really not. 🤷🏻‍♀️

⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was nothing like I thought it would be! I went in thinking, Moulin Rouge, Chicago, even The Reader. With the name Lady Chatterley I thought an older experienced woman. The book was okay, nothing spectacular IMO.

#Reading1001 I had been dreading reading this one mainly because I had the completely wrong idea about what it was about.

I am glad I read it and I did enjoy it for the most part some of the story could have been cut if you ask me and the scene in the rain with the flowers was just silly.

#Reading1001 I put this book in my TBR challenge list hoping that its number wouldn‘t come up. Guess what? It came up for this month. Started reading and at just over the 20% mark my Kindle decided it needed charging to my amazement I am actually disappointed to have to put this down I am really into the story.

#bloominglitsy not gonna run out of fresh sage here

Beautiful #audiowalk today in the sun ☀️ The book isn‘t *as boring* as I imagined it to be, but it‘s not a feast either 🙈

Really enjoyed a day off from the home office, it was much needed.

There's lots of good fish in the sea...maybe...but the vast masses seem to be mackerel or herring, and if you're not mackerel or herring yourself, you are likely to find very few good fish in the sea.

I first read Lady Chatterley‘s Lover when I was 20 - to me, it was one of those Very Important Books. I felt like it really changed my life. Since then, I‘ve held it in such high regard & have always been afraid to pick it up again lest it doesn‘t hold up. A whole decade later I finally did & thank goodness for that - I found it just as intense, powerful, & emotional as I did then. Life has changed, & so have I, but I‘m glad this book didn‘t.
