Welcome to Litsy!

#BookReport

I finished both The Wreath #DoorstopKristin #KLBR and Lamentation #ShardlakeBR

I read Bloddråpetall (Blood Drops Numbers)

I continued my yearlong reads on the right

I‘ve started both Little Dorrit #WhatTheDickens, and Evenings and Weekends

#DoorstopKristin check-in! How‘s your reading going? I‘m moving along steadily—I finished part 2 this week and am finding it so readable. I have to admit that although I feel for her, I‘ve been a little frustrated with Kristin. And I‘m not a fan of Erlend! What are your thoughts on Kristin and Erlend? And Simon? #KLBR

I‘ve started the first book in the Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy, The Wreath #KLBR #DoorstopKristin

I've read roughly a third of The Wreath and am absolutely loving it. It was admittedly a little slow to start, but then it grabbed me all at once and I flew through several chapters in a row. I love the descriptions of the landscape and the colorful, vivid characters. I'm DYING to know more about Kristin's mother and I can't get enough of Åashild Gautesdatter. I've made myself put it aside for now so that I stay eager to pick it up again tomorrow.

"It's good when you don't dare do something that doesn't seem right," said Fru Aashild with a little laugh. "But it's not so good if you think something isn't right because you don't dare do it."

Quick check-in for #KLBR! How is your reading going? What do you think of the story so far?

I've read up through the end of Part 1. I found the first two chapters slow going (though I loved Kristin's interactions with Brother Edvin), but when I got to Chapter 3, I had a hard time putting it down!

And this is indeed #DoorstopKristin--I've been using my reading pillow to prop the huge thing up as I read 😆

#BookSpinBingo has spoken! From the fiction half of my list, my #BookSpin is Kristin Lavransdatter: The Wreath, and from the nonfiction half of my list, my #DoubleSpin is The Risk It Takes to Bloom: On Life and Liberation. Really looking forward to both of these! 😊

June is almost here, so I‘ve pulled out #DoorstopKristin and am gearing up to dive in on Sunday for #KLBR. I‘ve got my emotional support dumpster fire on hand just in case. Looking forward to reading along with all of you! What editions are you all reading? Single volume or individual books?

Hi friends! I can‘t believe we‘re already over a week into May, and I‘m looking at my summer reading! I‘m still planning to read the Kristin Lavransdatter series in June, July, and August. I‘m tagging those who were interested in a buddy read, but all are welcome—please comment if you‘re not tagged and you‘d like to be (or vice versa if you‘re not interested anymore 😁) Also I suppose we need a hashtag—any suggestions?!
