Welcome to Litsy!

#Read2025

Finished last night for Feb‘s #ChildrensClassicRead2025 I never really went through a horsey stage as a girl🤷🏻‍♀️but I can see the appeal. This was a good blend of history & the story of a boy who wants to train & ride the beautiful Lipizzaner stallions he sees everyday delivering for his family‘s bakery in Vienna. It has a good moral of hard work & daring to dream. I also learned a lot about horse training & these beautiful horses.

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Reading the tagged book for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 & tonight‘s #HyggeHour Drinking some Sleepytime tea & snacking on a Cara Cara orange.

My mood is not ready for Monday but I took Friday off, so it‘s a short week.

Who knew that adored author Marguerite Henry spent her last 2 decades writing and relaxing in Rancho Santa Fe, a community known for its horse ranches & riding trails—and happens to be in my neighborhood! So off I went to the Historical Society where Henry‘s photo is featured on their wall among RSF‘s most famous residents including Bing Crosby & Howard Hughes! Will be reading this Henry bio next by Susan Friedland.

I thought I had read all of M. Henry, but this was new to me. Hans was precious. Maestoso Borina was a stinker - the way he taught Hans how to ride. What a fabulous pair. #ChildrensClassicRead2025 @TheBookHippie

Hello, Litsy bookish people! This is my first post and it‘s about a brilliant novel imo that I finished last night: Radetzky March by Josep Roth, here shown in my Dutch translation copy. About the dying Habsburg empire, told through the eyes of a father and his son, a reluctant military man, the threat of oncoming war looming constantly. About loss of innocence, withholding emotions and the passage of time.
