Welcome to Litsy!

Very good. Loved seeing how the characters are getting on. Easy to read and get involved in the story.

My history-loving son has walking pneumonia, so I suggested we spend some time watching this book-adjacent series together while he waits for the antibiotics to do their work. He said, "Mom, that looks like the kind of show a middle-aged woman would watch."

I argued that, while I am, in fact, a middle-aged woman, that doesn't mean teenaged history buffs wouldn't like the show, too.

And then I left him to his Discord and his D&D YouTube videos.

Found this at the library sale recently and had a severe case of insta #CoverLove

Current read on my oasis while awaiting new scribe to come

Patrick Gale excels in beautifully understated writing with such kindness and gentleness. My heart broke for Charles through his unpopularity at school and awkwardness in life, whilst still being able to dislike his at times acerbic sharpness and intellectual superiority as he tries to find himself. My heart broke again for his mother as he pushes her away then yearns for her when sent to war. Despite some brutal elements this was a lovely read.

Lazy days and nights of Twixmas. I'm spending much of my time by the fire. Tea in the mornings, whisky in the evenings and lots of books.

Tonight I finished reading Christmas with Rosamunde Pilcher. It begins with recollections on RP's Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary Party. Then it's Christmas traditions and recipes. Ends with a short story Miss Cameron at Christmas. Delightful.🥃📖🔥

1. Tie between Jamaica Inn, very atmospheric Gothic romance/adventure/suspense by Grande Dame Daphne du Maurier
and
Spirits Abroad, short mythical/ghostly tales by Malaysian author Zen Cho. Blends contemporary & fantasy with a fresh viewpiont. So surprising, so good!
2. no clue. I'm really excited for the numbers of #Bookspin and #Doublespin to be revealed, as I have a few options for mood picks and Gothic reads on my list that I'm excited for!
