Welcome to Litsy!

I want to say I started this around the first of the year. I‘m about halfway though. My reading has been off the last few months. I couldn‘t get into anything. Maybe I will finish this one this month.
It‘s information packed, not sure if it‘s interesting information or just book filler. I‘m going to keep reading because I want to and I‘m interested.

The eldest daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, Alice was not necessarily #americassweetheart ...her causes and beliefs stirred controversy. I‘ve wanted to read the tagged book. She sounds like she had spunk and refused to be silent! #getmovin

I completely missed the #royalwedding , but I love seeing the pictures everyone is posting!!

Even though Alice Roosevelt Longworth was an intriguing person, parts of this biography were surprisingly dull. The author also had a tendency to analyze and make assumptions about Alice's (and others') feelings that were not backed up by evidence. In spite of that, I enjoyed learning about Alice's life, and even though at times she was not likeable and I disagree with some of her political views, I do admire her.

Well now I want a revolving bookcase for beside my bed!

I'm so glad I have today off work and don't have to go out in the very cold weather! The cat and I are very much enjoying snuggling on the couch and reading all day. I started this biography of Alice Roosevelt Longworth back in October and I'm trying to finish it by the end of the year. Only 4 more chapters to go!

My afternoon reading buddy 😻 She must have missed me while I was gone this weekend 😻

I've had plans to read this since February and I'm finally starting it. It should be interesting.

This has been on my TBR since January. I had it checked out from the library for several months and then just ended up buying a used copy. I'm hoping to get to it this month.

Alice is hanging out on this bookshelf with one of my favorite historical fiction characters: Phryne Fisher. I think the two would get along well 😀

Today's#bookhaul from thriftbooks. I love the picture on the cover of the Alice Roosevelt bio - that look is priceless 😁

I 💕❤️💕political history! This is a representation of what's on my shelves. And if you haven't read it, the book I tagged is a fantastic biography of TR's oldest daughter, Alice Roosevelt Longworth. I highly recommend it. What a fascinating woman she was! #augustbookchallenge #augustofpages #day11 #politicsandbooks
