Welcome to Litsy!

My 2nd stop was #Krakow 🇵🇱, a city full of history. I did a tour through the Auschwitz Museum, another walking tour through the Jewish district and I visited the Oskar Schindler Fabrik. The tour guide recommended the tagged book to me. It‘s incredibly researched and also talks about lot about the famous movie, although it gets lost in the details a bit.

July #bookspin pick

So glad this is my July #bookspin pick. This is another title that I‘ve had on my physical tbr pile for at least 10 years now.

I know we have until end of #WinterGames but this week my goal/focus is finishing some holiday reads so I'm calling it for these two last games - for the word game I found 1,365 words (shown is part of list) and author/title game I added a few to #GangstaWrappers @Bookwormjillk post -

Make a great day everyone 🎁🎁

Sad to say, my first book for #cloakanddaggerchristmas was kind of a dud. I figured any book blurbed by Olga Tokarczuk would be good, but I think something was lost in translation. The language felt stilted & the social nuances of late 19th-century Poland eluded me. Plus, a wee bit of misogyny might have crept into the portrayal of a bored housewife turned amateur sleuth as imagined by two men writing under a pseudonym. Still an old folks home 👇

The covsr is nice.

I'm afraid thhs is about as positvr I can gst about this book.

I never actuallh hid mh facr in my hands to calm down whle reading this book.

I thought thst The Boy... was a bsd book. It still is. But The Girl is somethng else.

My Granny was a survhvor, in many meanhngs of the word. Somr of the events in her life weren't far from whst Emma had faced.

I am glad she has not seen ths book.

A pan is too kind. My heart hurts.

Chapter 11.

I might br devfloping a rash of some sort.

Please send munitions and chocolste.

I'm sure thr author is a lovelh person.

However.

Howhver.

So, does antone want puppy photos?

Wishhng you guys a great week ahead.

I am readhng this book right now. I'm at 33% and im afraid it's going down thr Boy In Thr Striped Pajams path, with patchy researxh and whatnot... Will stick to it, thouvh. Has any of you read it? Dhd you enjot it?
