Welcome to Litsy!

Re read for my book club & enjoyed it more this time around apart from the political themes of the 30s spookily now being played out ☹️the Mitfords all I‘m sure were neuro divergent , unity especially, annoying , spoilt , privileged & definitely a way of life now long gone , aside from their strange political leanings not sure why everyone was obsessed with these horrible women . Nancy the most famous for the right reasons barely gets a look in ;

This series was unique and so lovely too!

Come on now, it‘s show and tell time…

I think Nancy Mitford‘s life and family are fascinating, and I wanted to read this book because it upset her family when it was published, especially the Nazi sympathizer members. She refused to let it be reprinted in her lifetime, partly because of the mediocre sales numbers and reviews, but mainly because she wanted to keep the peace within her family. I bailed. She‘s a good writer but the story and characters just didn‘t keep me interested.

Traveling south always makes me nostalgic for this sweet series about a Episcopalian priest in North Carolina. Since we were in the Georgia islands last week I returned to this one which has our preacher filling in on the coast.

My wild Friday night continued

Friday in the couch with a warm blanket and a cat.

A good way to relax as we peek into the lives of Jan Karon‘s Mitford people. Lacey and Dooley are finally getting married! They plan to have an old-fashioned country wedding, but a few surprises are on their way.
