Welcome to Litsy!

I haven‘t seen so many Judith Krantz books since the 1980s…till today.

Prompt: Judith Krantz

I was young when this book came out and I remember all the buzz about it.

This one has been on my TBR forever… I‘ll get there eventually… maybe 😬

#WeRemember day 7: Not familiar with #JudithKrantz but these seem to be her popular novels. 📚📚📚

This was like dynasty and Real Housewives rolled into one book! Published in 1978 this has all the drama, back biting and crazy you‘d expect. The characters here are over the top but it‘s amazing. First time reading this author. I understand why she was so popular! #weremember @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

✨ ICYMI ✨ Last week‘s episode was all about SCRUPLES by Judith Krantz, a classic in the bonkbuster genre. You know it‘s important because I used page flags to mark the line “she had the disposition of a woman who had lived her whole life in pants” and the words “tumid lips.”
You can check out our thoughts and other great insights about this wild book wherever you get your podcasts.

Judith Krantz was one of my guilty pleasure reads in the 80s. I remember sitting in the common room, (Collingwood Comprehensive) giggling at the naughty bits in Princess Daisy. I named my cat Mistral after her book Mistral‘s Daughter. I gave away my books years ago but feel sad that she‘s gone.

When she was hot she was everywhere.😢

This is my current read. I have never read Judith Krantz's writing and this was published the year I was born (1978). The book was recommended to me and I started into it, not really having any expectations whatsoever.
I'm loving it. This is SO different than anything else I have been reading. I look forward to getting back to it every night.

One of my favorite part of the challenges is putting together a stack of possibilities. I love that the #booked2018 challenge is broken down into quarters, because it makes it so much more manageable.

From top to bottom:
Beach read
Japanese thriller
LGBQT
Blame it on Litsy
Takes place at school
Diverse NF

Anyone have a pick for the prompts that they‘re particularly excited about?

For those of you that saw my #thriftbooks saga a few weeks ago regarding the poor quality book that I received from them, here is a comparison. Thrift Books refunded my money, no questions asked, but made sure to tell me that they go by ISBN and not covers. So with my refund I found the same book at #betterworldbooks. It was listed in good condition and shipping was free, despite only ordering one book. The price of the book was 30-40 cents more.

Ok, so here is my beef with #thriftbooks. I actually stopped ordering from them in February of this year because I wasn‘t impressed with the spine stickers and overall quality of the books. I decided after a recent order though to give them another chance, as I wanted quite a few books for the upcoming challenges that I couldn‘t find for a reasonable price. I placed a large order last Friday and got the first package of my shipment today—⬇️⬇️

#FunFridayPhoto This my first "adult" adult book. I'll bet I was about 14, and massively sheltered. So when I found this in the library, I was all about it. And when my mom found it in my room she confiscated it. I'm 99% sure she read it herself before returning it. But she was pissed I'd read all the sex parts. I didn't tell her I read them over and over.

The trashiest trash you'll ever love. How can you prepare yourself? I'd suggest wrapping yourself in a leopard print robe, donning large clip-on diamond earrings, knocking back a couple of strong martinis, and having a well-muscled pool boy nearby couldn't hurt. 💖🍸
