Welcome to Litsy!

Very early morning start- been home due to a bout of bronchitis.In between rest & sleep, I am reading, reading. What do others do when sick at home if not a reader? School is closed this coming Monday & Tuesday for Presidents‘ day,which is a healing bonus. Enjoying this non demanding cozy read. #readyourkindle

I didn‘t expect to get back to #Bath so quickly, but it‘s such a beautiful city with great #bookstores. Persephone prints works by female authors in the 18 & 19th Century who would otherwise be forgotten. I‘ve read the first book by Muir today and really enjoyed all the insights on Jane Austen and the Regency Era (hello Bridgerton!).

I went on a day trip yesterday to Stonehenge. After, our tour visited beautiful #Bath and I finally saw the famous Roman Baths. I‘ve been to Bath last summer but it‘s such a wonderful city. This is a sign in front of the amazing Topping & Company #bookstore close the to the Abbey. Sounds awesome!

“What smell? I don‘t smell anything!”

This story by Mo Willems shows a very stubborn pigeon who refuses to take a bath. The bird tiptoes around taking a bath by saying that he is clean even though he appears very dirty. This is an incredibly fun story and the pigeon is very comical.

Liked it, didn‘t love it and thought it dipped a lot in the middle.
Good historical detail and really interesting storyline.
