Welcome to Litsy!

When I first read the Swallows and Amazons books in 2019/2020, I knew I would want to reread them over and over. I've been working my way through them slowly and enjoying them every bit as much - or even more - as I did the first time. Winter Holiday is adorable, with plenty of wintry adventures to go around. I personally had an idyllic childhood, but I still think I would trade to be a Swallow or Amazon! 😂

Strictly speaking, this is about fellwalking rather than #Hiking, but they‘re two sides of the same coin!

“dance, little baby, dance up high.”

The story is very visually appealing. The father is a fisherman and owns his own boat. He is excited for his child to see their first fish. This is a good family story for all ages.

She's a good writer, a long book but didn't feel so.
Rachel is tasked with wolf reintroduction and thus follows the tale, the relationships she encounters and her own journey in all of this. I like how it all works together, her career path kind of exists with the borders of her family life and the friends she makes within this world. Lots of metaphorical links here, really made me appreciate her thoroughness.

Another enjoyable outing for Washington poe and Till Bradshaw. In this one someone is poisoning reprehensible public figures by unique poisoning while poes favourite pathologist Estelle Doyle is arrested as suspect in a classic locked room murder.
Great storytelling, a page turner.

Great prompts @vivastory

Let me say this... once I've properly started a book, I hardly ever DNF it.

Swallows and Amazons is the exception.

Also, I didn't really "lie" about Harry Potter 5... I read most of it, but didn't finish in time for the film. Then I just... didn't bother with the rest. It's still on my Goodreads "read" shelf though...

Shame on me!!!!! Shame!!!!

Another series I'm rereading this year - absolutely LOVED the Swallows & Amazons books when I first read them, so I'm going through them again. This is the second book in the series, full of exploring, pirates, shipwrecks, mountain climbing, caves, and more! Every page was a delight.
