Welcome to Litsy!

A bit far fetched but thoroughly entertaining!

The family of Dashwood had long been settled in Sussex.
Their estate was large, and their residence was at Norland Park, in the centre of their property, where, for many generations, they had lived in so respectable a manner as to engage the general good opinion of their surrounding acquaintance.

Vespa Nyx wants nothing more than to work with "Unnaturals", creatures of myths and legends like the Manticore, but a mere girl could never in a society where the saints are Darwin and Tesla and anything magic is punishable by death. When a Tinker boy steals an amulet from her, Vespa finds herself embroiled in the dark underpinnings of her society and fighting for what is right.
Loved the atmospheric world and characters and the heisty elements.

Last night‘s scores from the book swap on the way home from my private ballet lesson. This makes Monday bearable. When I arrive home I have a wine and a stretch then straight to bed. I even had a pretty good night‘s sleep and woke half an hour early this morning to some online shopping bargains.

A very enjoyable return to Widdershins

A fictional take on the real lives of the Brontë sisters (although Branwell features too) from the early tragic death of their mother & older sisters to the dawn of Charlotte's marriage to Arthur Bell Nicholls.

It was an interesting read with some surprisingly strong language in parts. I don't know why but the tragic deaths of these talented women juxtaposed with their writing talents & what more could have been never fails to raise a tear. 4🌟

I‘ve got 11 hours left; I really hope I can finish it by the 12th. I‘m liking this one better than The Moon Sister. #audiowalk
