Welcome to Litsy!

This was an interesting but often tedious short book written by an English journalist in the 1990s—the height of the Balkan crises. In a way it is dated, much has changed, but this book chronicles why & how this region split into a myriad of small countries. I read it for #readingeurope2020 #Montenegro and I certainly learned more about that country than I would have thought. The book is peppered with references, plus a chapter devoted to it & ⬇️

It‘s the last week and I‘m finally doing a better job of tracking the books/short stories I read each day rather than relying on my Litsy posts to help me remember. But I guess the week is still young! 😬 #scarathlon #teamslaughter #screamathon #sbooktober #gothtober #ripreadathon #trickortreadathon #nameinthetitle #ghostathon #gothicreadathon #slaughterthon @Clwojick @4thhouseontheleft

I‘m collecting the votes and it‘s assembly (and coloring) night while I listen to the tagged book. #readingeurope2020 #Montenegro #scarathlon #teamslaughter #screamathon #sbooktober #gothtober #ripreadathon #trickortreadathon #nameinthetitle #ghostathon #gothicreadathon #slaughterthon @Clwojick @4thhouseontheleft

Back to audiocrafting. I‘m still hoping y‘all will keep picking your fave cards from my previous posts but it‘s clear this was a favorite so I‘m working on those right now. #scarathlon #teamslaughter

Ok last one (I think). I‘m audiocrafting and need to make some decisions and hope to get Littens‘ help. With limited supplies I need to pick which cards to make. Which do you prefer, card A or card B?

If A, what should I color the gnome?

Bought this audiobook today for #readingeurope2020 #Montenegro and will use it for readathons for #scarathlon #teamslaughter

In 1999, Simon Winchester traveled through the Balkans as a foreign correspondent while the area was still actively fracturing. He presents here a mashup of travel narrative, history, politics, current (circa 1999) events, and local color. I found it really interesting and now want to learn more of the local history. I‘m using this for #Montenegro, but it could be used for any of the Balkan countries.
