Welcome to Litsy!

Two books in my TBR were left in my Little Free Library this week! #bookhaul #serendipity #littlefreelibrary

Bk2 Ch5
"I know that about five days ago he…took out three thousand roubles…packed them into a large envelope with five seals,& tied it across with red silk tape…And on the envelope was written: “For my angel Grushenka, if she decides to come”, scribbled by himself, in quiet, on the sly, and there‘s no one who knows he has the money there except his manservant Smerdyakov, in whose honesty he believes like his very own self."

I‘ve had Haruf on my radar for a while & intended to grab myself a 2nd hand copy of any I come across. The first I found was Our Souls At Night, which I read & loved a couple of years ago.
Then this one turned up in my own little street library. I rarely take books from my own library, because I mainly have it to dispense them!
I see that this was Haruf‘s first novel, & the other I read was his last. 🙏

Finishing this book tonight, and it also completes my #Pantone2022 challenge for this year. Thank you for this fun one @Clwojick

Funny it‘s my last book for this one, happens to be the center square, and wasn‘t picked by me at all but the #SheSaid reading group pick. #Serendipity #Bookendipity

I loved this series as a child:) Apparently there are 70 books in the series now.

My library request for #ReadingAsia21 FINALLY came through 😜😂😜😂which is pretty serendipitous for #AAM 🎧❣️

Helen, this was lovely! @squirrelbrain Kept me occupied while waiting for my mammogram! 🤦‍♀️Thank you for putting it in my hands…. So perfect for me! A humorous romantic little essay, on the joys of picking books you never knew you needed or wanted…. i.e. the total joy of browsing a bookstore. 💕📚

Thanks so much Helen! Lovely notebook and looks like a v interesting essay, not seen this version before, so cute!! Back from the Lakes and pleased to be reunited with my kindle which I had forgotten!! Merry Christmas!
@squirrelbrain

Thank you Helen!
I really enjoyed this little book on the joy of bookshops (and the great sage Donald Rumsfeld!) And I love the idea of bibliomancy with PG Wodehouse 😁.

The notebook is so much fun as well (we‘ve been trying out elephant yoga & cat exercises this week, not to mention reading about dragons doing ballet, so fox dancing is just perfect!)- can‘t wait to find the perfect project for it.

Hope you and yours had a lovely Christmas 😘
