Welcome to Litsy!

Sunday morning reading. Starting this travelogue in preparation for my Seine River cruise in just under 3 weeks! ❤️📚🇫🇷

This is a total love letter to this river. The history, the meaning of the river from its start to the end. You travel through words through some amazing country. Total fan #readingchallenge2022

soulful journey along the grand river of romance. Companion to her previous The Only Street in Paris --enticing reads for would-be flaneurs #SavvySettings #River

Here‘s my progress on #theunreadshelfproject2021. I didn‘t have a book for this month‘s challenge so I decided to read another book I won from a Goodreads giveaway.

Here‘s my review for another book I just finished. I finally got around to reading this one. I read this book for #theunreadshelfproject2021 challenge A Book I Bought At A Used Book Store. I didn‘t have a book for this prompt so I decided to just read whatever I want. I also read this book for #tbrknockout and the prompt is to read something with water on the cover or in the title. This book has water on the cover and in the title.

Thanks for the tag, @DaveGreen7777 !

I wanted to take the concept of enthusiasm to a different level; instead of a character, I thought about infectious writing, writing that is beautiful and the enthusiasm for the subject is contagious.

The tagged book made me want to hop on a plane (I‘m not a fan of flying) and visit France (I read this pre-COVID). Sciolino writes a love letter to the River Seine. Francophiles - a must read! #LitFortuneCookie

I got spoiled this Christmas... he just gets me

This is a beautiful love letter to the Seine. Part travelogue, part history, with a dash of memoir, Sciolino takes readers on a journey on the Seine, from its beginning to its end, with a long pause in Paris. Every facet imaginable is discussed, and I loved every minute of this. Highly recommended!

Thanks to #NetGalley and W.W. Norton for a copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

Calling it a night...considering the various non-bookish things I had to do today, this is not a bad time. I‘m nearly halfway through the tagged book (it‘s an arc, and it‘s a good one!). A little over 6 hours for #24B4Monday and 4.5 hours for #Deweys24HourReadathon .
