Welcome to Litsy!

It got a little more interesting right toward the end, but most of the journal entries seem trivial. She also talks way too much about having to hide her diary. The most interesting part of it was the historical facts after the diary entries. Knowing that Queen Victoria did keep a diary starting at the age of 13 makes me want to read that instead! This was the newest book on my TBR.

Thought it would be fun to go from the chunkster to the shortest book on my TBR. The Story of the Saxophone. Excellent story and illustrations, about the inventor of the saxophone, Adolphe Sax.

This one was the chunkster for me! 674 pages. And I‘ve had it for several years. Read it in order, which is probably not its intent. But lots of really useful information! Makes me realize that my parents raised me well and also makes me sad at how little people pay attention to good manners and etiquette these days 😓
