I feel like I‘ve been away from Litsy for months! We finally moved into our new house a week ago and I‘ve been so busy getting things set up. Happy Monday everyone! 🤗
1. Novelist 📚🤓
2. Hard to pick, I‘d be cool with either! How about a used bookstore? 🤔
3. Inspiration for a character — would be so cool!
4. Ugh! Rip it? Then at least maybe I can upcycle it 😱
#ManicMonday
Thanks for the tag @Eggs ! 🤗
1. Margaret Mitchell/Stephen King (I know, quite the contrast!😱).
2. Definitely a night in! 🤓
3. Anything set in the 1920s during the flapper era is my fave. Also love reading stories set during the Depression in the early 1930s.
4. Anyone who hasn't done it yet! (Sorry, I'm a bit behind). ☺️

pickThe novella Lost Laysen features a love triangle between two men and a fiercely independent young woman. Sounds familiar? Novella itself is a so-so; it's a bit too melodramatic for me. But Mitchell was only 16 when she wrote it and gave it to Henry Love Angel, pictured above w/ her. This volume is an overall pick for GWTW fans, b/c of accompanying photos & letters between the two in the fascinating introduction to the novella. #gwtwreadalong 👇
Margaret Mitchell scandalized society at a dance, just as Scarlett did. #gwtwreadalong
Have any of you #GWTWreadalong peeps read this? I did, when it first came out in 1996 -- published soon after the manuscript was found among Mitchell's old beau's belongings hidden for years. This volume includes the story behind that, several previously unpublished photos, and the very short novella itself. Guess what I'm reading today! Also going crazy trying to find the biography I have of Mitchell that's been in my TBR for years!
