Welcome to Litsy!

I just discovered that her given name was Mary Florence Elinor Rainbow and I am delighted! 🌈

Mary Stewart is one of my favourites ❤

It was nice revisiting this. Mary Stewart's biggest strength is that she can invoke such a sense of place -- I don't actually have any visual imagination at all, but I can somehow still almost see the places she describes.

The romance is a bit perfunctory in this one -- sort of inevitable, rather than developed at all.

I read on the treadmill but today it was sooo hard to pick what I was going to read, argh. I have trouble sometimes about wanting to finish books (instead of focusing on the process of reading). I ended up going back to... not exactly a favourite, but one I enjoy revisiting. Reading Mary Stewart's romances made me admit I like reading romance!

This was my first Mary Stewart. I found it ok and agree with fans of Mary Stewart's work. This is not one of her bests. But I liked the setting and the writing was good. Definitely will be reading more of her works. 3 out of 5.

I‘m on a nostalgic reread run these last few days... I‘ve read 17 books already in March. 😂😂 Surgery perks. 😝 #howjessreadsin2019

I love finding things in used books. This letter, postmarked 1987, was in the book I bought at the library book sale yesterday. Judging by the handwriting I‘d say the girls were around 9 or 10 years old. Lauren Talan wrote from NJ to Sarah Buchanan in NC. If either of you is a Litten, I‘ve got your letter. 😀

A splendid mystery, set in Lebanon full of twists and turns. An engrossing, wonderfully written thrilling tale. Occasionally quite scary 😱
