Welcome to Litsy!

Two excellent books completed in December!

I loved my journey through classical music—many composers highlighted in this volume are modern day—and spent my evenings listening to each piece.

The Flight Portfolio was so wonderfully written, and it took me months after #SundayBuddyRead discussed it to read the book. This is not a fast-paced novel but rather one that deserves lots of time to slowly read. #12BooksOf2024

Please do yourself a favor and find this companion to The Year of Wonder, a daily encounter with classical music. Once again Burton-Hill takes the reader on a daily journey through classical music, with many composers in this collection from contemporary times. I loved every minute of this collection.

When you read the intro, Burton-Hill‘s persistence in writing this while overcoming a medical emergency is remarkable.

A wonderful collection!

For #TuesdayTunes , I‘d like to highlight one of my current reads, which is a follow up to Burton-Hill‘s amazing Year of Wonder. Burton-Hill focuses on a classical music piece each day of the year…you can find playlists of each month on Spotify. In this volume, she has so far showcased quite a number of contemporary classical composers, which has been so fun to listen to and just shows classical music has not gone away.
