Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this book! There aren‘t any historical sources for what happened to Boudicca‘s daughters after her death. But I loved this tale for potential. I love anything to do with Boudicca, but always have a little cry for her demise. And always remember, history is written by the winners- how can she be a rebel in her own country. ♥️

4,5/5 ⭐

My weekend remains with me: Sunday began watching Ken Burn‘s The American Revolution as family; Poe kept me up last night into the wee morning hours snugging me with his head -beyond worth the lack of sleep- Saturday I visited my local Indie store to pick my October pre-ordered books& then some…Tonight more Ken Burns. My mood is happy & engaged for the most part- sadness mixes in with thoughts of losing Poe…work today was wonderful.

So good, travel through Venetian history and Murano glassmaking with Orsola and her familia. If you are going to Venice or have been there you need to read this. Gives a whole other meaning to the history of glassmaking sold in Venice. Loved this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4⭐️ While it was slow during the first two parts, I really enjoyed the book. #2025 #bookclub #historicalfiction #fantasy #fiction #historicalfantasy

The eerie cover of this book sets the stage for the haunting pages within - are the eyes blacked out to symbolize the loss of identity when conforming to the ideal suburban woman role? Or not feeling seen, heard, or understood? Not knowing if she is seeing reality? Feeling trapped and suffocated? One thing is for sure - Lulu‘s carefully crafted 1950‘s housewife facade is jiggling as much as one of her perfect jello salads. ⬇️

Up next for #BookedInTime #BookedInTimeNovember2025 . It's set a little outside the guilded age years but I think 1905 is considered guilded age still to some - close enough anyways. I've heard good things about this book and even the librarian commented on it when I checked it out so looking forward to this read! Hoping to start it later this evening.

This was too bleak. The good parts did not make this story worth it for me.

This was my #DoubleSpin for November, and I'm glad I finally read it. I'm now caught up on the #Outlander books and am only awaiting the final season of the show and the final book in the series. Perhaps I'll try something from the “Methadone List.“ But first, I need to read my #BookSpin book for the month.

French noblewoman Marguerite de la Rocque de Roberval (1515--1542) has always led a quiet life, but her guardian spends her fortune and sells her home. His plan is another prosperous voyage to “New France.” This time he takes Marguerite with him. After he discovers Marguerite‘s rebellion he strands her with a lover and her nurse. Although slow to start her tale is thrilling and satisfying. It is a 4/5 ⭐️ read and a 2025 favorite.
