Welcome to Litsy!

#RedRoseSeptember Another book from my virtual #TBR ~ Im not really good at #mathematics but I believe my virtual TBR + my physical TBR = 4861 books or something like that 😉

My current read is not about math thankfully 😄, but includes quite a few eccentric mathematicians. For a book I thought I'd bail on I'm really enjoying it.

I thought this was going to be a mystery but it was the story of a female math prodigy from Russian. It was an unusual read but I think the subject matter would only appeal to a limited audience.

A quirky read

A nice shady spot by the pool to read - I'm on a cruise this week!

I'm enjoying this book, but it's slow reading.

Reading and sewing on this slow summer morning. The book is getting good.

Afternoon with my daughter - cold coffee drinks and our current reads.

Breakfast + reading = perfect morning ☀️

I really enjoyed this! Such interesting and genuine characters. I also found this page quite interesting. (Published in 2014)

I realized I'm holding my paper book really close to my face. I usually read paper books during he day and kindle books at night.

I had no idea this was a subgenre, sounds like my kind of subgenre

Want to take your mind off the election? Rojstaczer presents a family dramedy during the depths of a Madison, WI winter - a batch of batty emigré mathematicians decide to complete Sasha's mother's theorem to a Millenium Problem during her shiva. But a solution isn't the only thing that comes to light that week.

Buy this and put it in your eyeballs. (And even if math is not your bag, don't worry. The main draw is the family stuff)

This has been sitting on my TBR for a while and my library doesn't have it! Yay #kindledeals

Actual block of model for the shiva house. The book cover illustrator, from Italy, somehow came up with something uncannily similar to the real thing.

I'm almost done this interesting, touching, and funny novel. One of my 4-year olds looked at the cover and said, "I like that the penguin is following the people into the house." It took me a minute. ?

This was a departure from the sci-fi/fantasy that I normally read. It's a book in which not much seems to happen but you can't put it down and come away contemplative and with a book hangover.

I feel like there are some books that you know will be for you, but won't be for everybody, just by the title.You like scientific puzzles? Pure reason versus religious tradition? A death reveals long buried secrets? Do you already know what a Shiva is? If so, give it a try. If not, don't.
