Welcome to Litsy!

This book is amazing. While it‘s not the most gripping story I‘ve read—and towards the end I was wondering where the author was going with her plot—the story is so well written. I will definitely have to find more of Stuart‘s books! I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

“But during her search for affection, she had found herself seeking it from the shadiest of hearts. And no matter how often she opened her bedroom window, never once had she been touched by the moonlight of love.”

This author is amazing at her craft.

“His stomach, still bilious from the previous evening‘s hogget, arrived first.” This author has wonderful and unique descriptive style. And I‘m not sure she didn‘t model this character‘s physical description on me. 😉

My heart sank a little when I got this for #bookspin - it‘s been sitting on my shelf for years and whenever I‘ve tried to read it just hasn‘t caught me. I have been missing out. This was a beautiful, sweet book; at times sad, at times funny, but always staying true to its simple message about the importance of love. Like a nice warm hug.

My #bookspinbingo board for this month! Tagged book is my #bookspin book, #doublespin is tagged in the comments. Thanks again @TheAromaofBooks for setting all this up 💚

My #bookspin for January! I‘m determined to knock off a big chunk of my tbr in 2021 so I‘ve dug through some of my back catalogue, in addition to all the ones I didn‘t get to this year. Thanks to @TheAromaofBooks for helping me figure out what to read next 💚

Two of the books I‘m reading this weekend happen to have animals on the cover! The tagged book is one that I enjoyed several years ago.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I adored this book. It was full of quintessentially British charm, whimsy, and wit. I have been to the Tower on several occasions; we always loved visiting there and hearing all the stories. I enjoyed the equally entertaining little world of the London Underground Lost Property Office. I also enjoyed how the author peppered historical facts and lore throughout the book. I definitely recommend this book.

I‘m glad that I had a “read in 2010” shelf on Goodreads to remind me of what I read in 2010. I picked this one to share because I still think about its storyline. I was lucky to be able to read it shortly after I had visited the Tower of London (as a tourist, of course!). #BookIReadin2010 #AuldLangReads

Getting ready for bed after finishing this. Something was off about the writing style and plot which kept me from being fully engaged. Delightful premise though. #humor #animals #anglophilesoflitsy #unstyling

So this is pretty cute. Set in the Tower of London. I don‘t know about continuing with the sequel. Hope to start a Litsy #unstyling trend with photos like this so I don‘t have to bother. #humor #london #anglophilesoflitsy

Now for something light hearted. #sickreads

This isn't an obvious pick for #rain but the protagonist collects different types of rain in miniature bottles. Weird I know. It is well worth reading on past the first chapter where this obsession is the focus.

Very enjoyable read. Sweet, light -and not so light-, funny and well-written. Carrying this book with me on a trip to London made it even more special. It's not my usual fare but it perfectly suited me.

"[..] I have his address. Maybe you could write to him," he added.
"What a good idea," she replied. "I've always thought it such a pity that the art of letter writing is no longer revered. What is it?"
Valerie Jenkins had no intention of wasting time subjecting herself to the vagaries of Royal Mail. As soon as she put down the phone, she reached for her A to Z, and fetched her navy coat from the stand next to the inflatable doll.

This charming little book about the zookeeper at the Tower of London was sweet and touching and would make an adorable movie. #shouldbeamovie #seasonsreadings2016

Ein tolles Buch von einem Ehepaar das nicht redet und dadurch aneinander vorbei lebt.

Sometimes you need a zany, mad-capped book to add to the mix. I've heard mixed reviews of this book but was willing to give it a go. I tend to be more lenient on a book if it's free and from the library. This has a silliness plus fun British facts and is set in London, so it's worth a try.

It's been a while since I read this but I do recall liking it! #augustphotochallenge #underhypedbook
