#litsylove #litsyloveblitz My oldest letter to respond to is about 3 months back, but I have decided once again to send every LitsyLove member a postcard, so my letter writing will be further delayed. I'm happy with the idea, though, so hopefully this goes smoothly 😜

Thank you so much @quietjenn I am so looking forward to curling up with a blanket and this chunkster this winter! Thank you for the yummy chocolate which is at home because my Dad is not to be trusted around chocolate. 🤣 #JolabokaflodSwap
Thank you for organizing this again @MaleficentBookDragon
pickHow to you summarize a book that 1500+ p? Without spoiling anything? I went into this not knowing anything and I think that‘s a good idea.
One thing that‘s for sure, is that I won‘t look at a rake in the same way again. In romance novels/ movies that have this romantic air about them. After reading this, I know there‘s nothing romantic about them
And also, your true friends are the ones that stay with you in the hardest of times

I've had an idea! Because we're doing Don Quixote (DQ) at the beginning of next year, it might be good to read this alongside/just after it? It's 464 pages - 559 pages shorter than DQ, so it could start in the second month of the DQ buddy read. It would be a good comparison piece to both DQ and Jane Austen - and I don't mind hosting it if you think it's a good idea!
September 20 #IdiomInsight Cool as a cucumber 🥒 😎 This was first used in a poem by John Gay In 1732.. And really, cucumbers are always cooler on the inside, even in hot weather. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
so-so(1722) Aubin recycles the plot of Count De Vinevil for this novella about rich Europeans who get captured and enslaved by evil "Mahometans" and how they escape. This one cranks up the bizarro, tho: STG there's a scene where the evil emperor is about to ravish a character and she *removes*her*eyeballs* and throws them at him. So that's the ride you're in for. Not so much a thumbs-up or -down as a WTAF!?!
