Welcome to Litsy!

Just started the book in preparation for leading a group discussion on Goodreads. After spending this year in the library instead of the English classroom, it‘s exciting to have some literary analysis in my life! I‘m already fan-girling over nerdy things like anaphora and personification! 😁#BookNerdandProudofit

My office Secret Santa truly gets me. I also wanted to wish all my fellow bibliophiles a Happy Holidays!

Good morning, Littens!

I have found an oasis of calm this morning to try to power through the behemoth that is Dombey and Son.

I hope you all have a great day! ❤️📚❤️

Each September I read a Dickens novel, and this year‘s selection is Dombey and Son. I was surprised to realise that I only have one more novel left to read after this, so it‘ll be Martin Chuzzlewit next year!

I love how this coffee shop honours those clever goats and that even cleverer Ethiopian goatherd, Kaldi, who discovered coffee.

Thank you, Goats! ❤️🐐❤️☕️❤️

My last of Dickens‘ completed novels and a real high note! Paul Dombey Sr. is crippled by his overweening pride and is jealous of the affection his son and heir shows for his sister. Tragic yes but also classic Dickens with its bright spots of humor and fantastic supporting characters! ❤️ #ClassicsChallenge2020

Another ongoing Librivox listen that I‘ve been doing in bits and pieces for months. Currently in a stretch where I‘m listening a lot (and I‘m sure will add several more hours during the upcoming end of year readathon!) Mil Nicholson is a Librivox treasure—pro-level Reading and she is working her way through all of Dickens! I‘ve been doing Dickens in chronological order for the last couple of years, and this is the halfway book! #librivox

And on to the next #Dickens

This is going to be a re-read of a book I studied at university. I think I enjoyed it originally.

A huge #mtbr 🏔️ at the moment, particularly as I have a full allocation of 10 library books going.

I'm slogging may way through to find out if this awful father will ever except the golden-hearted daughter. I still love dank, dark Dickens the night time observer but lordy be he takes his time serializing in a slower age.

I‘ve always loved Dickens!

This one took some Googley detective work, but it appears #TheGameChicken is a pugilistic sort of character in the novel Dombey and Son. Another one that‘s still TBR for me but I am intrigued by the great character name, definitely worthy of #Spankle #DickensianDecember @jenniferw88 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

"And there, with an aching void in his young heart, and all outside so cold, and bare, and strange, Paul sat as if he had taken life unfurnished, and the upholsterer were never coming."
~Charles Dickens, Dombey and Son

So sorry I haven't been here much cause my sister is visiting and so there were lots of cleaning before hand & then many things to catch up with her ☺️💖
TBH I was not always a Charles Dickens fan especially but liking his writings more as I get older.
Now let's talk about how Gorgeous is this copy of Dombey And Son!!! Love #PenguinEnglishLiterature

#junebookbugs #classicsTBR Just a few I own and am yet to read. The two in the middle which are hard to make out are Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens, and Shirley by Charlotte Bronte.

Interesting read, but I understand why it's not read more often. The plot is bit baggy and round about even compared to other Dickens novels. I thought Paul Dombey (the son) was one of the more interesting version of the angelic dying child.

Making some progress with this and enjoying it. The son is an odd little character.
