Welcome to Litsy!

My apologies for completely missing last night's #HyggeHour #Readathon it has been a stressful few days. I can't tell you how lovely and cheering it was to hop on Litsy and see all your posts 😊

My second out of three #Roll100 Dec. picks. I really wanted to love this one but it was just OK. I didn‘t actually like any of the friend group, including the one with memory loss after being attacked. The back & forth of time/memories/movie scenes/movie scenes mixed in with memories make it more convoluted than it needed to be & I just sped through the end. There‘s a ⬇️

I‘ve never seen the ballet, and so never really understood why the image of the nutcracker is so entwined with Christmas, but after seeing both E T A Hoffman‘s original and Alexandre Dumas‘ rewrite mentioned in a book earlier this month, I had a desire to read both versions! Not quite what I expected, and I‘m not entirely sure what Dumas was aiming for in his near-identical rewrite, but it‘s a sweet, magical story.

Got in a few more hours today for #20in4 #Readathon Still taking my reading slower than usual, especially considering a large concrete based snow globe fell onto the crown of my head Xmas night. Didn‘t help the brain issues much! Hopefully I‘ll finish this tomorrow 🤞 #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew #YearEnd

This sounded interesting but I neither liked the main characters nor the story. It was #MoreMehThanYeah and definitely not what I've come to like about Caine's writing.

Apparently, I don‘t have work New Year‘s Eve this year! Surprise! 😅

Who wants to join me for a last minute day long #Readathon before we ring in the New Year?

First book finished for the #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew readathon. One of my #Roll100 picks for December & part of my attempt to make my way through the books of T. Kingfisher. I really enjoyed this story of a 14-year-old wizard (Mona) who bakes & needs to use her bread magic to save her city. It was fun & while YA, has adult enough humor & good messages about power & heroes & the need to act to right wrongs.💜

Sometimes the best thing to do is sit in bed under the covers with a kitty and read .

Well, it‘s 8.30am here in Sydney so I think I‘m calling an end to Day 1 of my #20in4 #YearEnd #readathon for now! I‘m about 50-60% through this book & I‘d forgotten how gory she can write deaths, but she‘s also exceptional at writing place too. It feels like wintry London is another character. But I‘m signing off for now, see you in a few hours!🥱 #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew

For the new, I have a #OUABC #UpAllNight box with the Haig book that I‘ll read NYE & Day & my tree-a-day book for #Naturalitsy

Ambitious, but I just have one workday on Monday, I‘m still laying low🤧& several are in progress.
