My goal in 2025 is to be a little less lurky and actually participate in the buddy reads on Litsy. Many thanks to all the hosts and organizers that keep me on the tag lists!
That said, here are the books I plan to read for the #LiteraryCrew. I already own them. Some have been gathering dust on my shelves forever so there‘s no excuse for not reading them
Hey @Librarybelle one of the #LiteraryCrew 2025 selections is on sale for $1.99! 🎉

I would be remiss not to mention the relations between British men and Indian women. As detailed by de Courcy, while the initial British occupation had looser laws and regulations, by the mid-nineteenth century, the British strictly forbade couplings.
However, we all know what can happen...
The lasting legacy of Anglo-Indian descendants is complicated. Article from the Royal Historical Society linked below. #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
4. de Courcy details the climate, vegetation, and bugs (shudders!) that faced the British women upon arrival. Moldy shoes within 24 hours! I cannot imagine (I am not a fan of the heat and humidity).
Victorian social mores also restricted women from adopting cooler clothing. The part about flannel was shocking.
de Courcy also mentions coping mechanisms used. Any stand outs for you? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
3. de Courcy uses diaries and letters from women who made the journey to India as well as military and government men stationed in India. Did any story stand out to you? Anything surprise you? #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
