Welcome to Litsy!

I obviously needed to see a second ballet this month. 😂

Even though interviews are definitely not my favouritw kind of text type I enjoyed the interviews with Judi Dench very much. She is a very witty person and her insight on the different characters were very interesting. I‘m going to use excerpts of this book in my English lessons for sure. 💪💪💪

“Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene”

La casa di Giulietta a Verona.
Juliet‘s home, at least the one featured in the movie Letters to Juliet, in Verona.

#LiteraryCrew : I apologize for the late post of this, but our June book is all about the Chelsea in NYC, the MacCarthy era, and friendship.

Discussion on June 30th. Read at your own pace throughout the month of June. I‘ll post periodic checkins during the month. All are welcome to join.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the tag list! #BuddyRead

I love that Judi Dench‘s own drawings were used. 😍😍😍

There were some interesting and enlightening moments, but it didn‘t feel very profound to me. It‘s about a mom, son, and daughter. The son works at a warehouse but his head is in the movies and poetry and the clouds. The daughter is debilitatingly shy, has uneven legs, and only cares for her glass menagerie and Victrola. The mom is overly ambitious for the both of them.

Sunday theatre with Daisy-May, who‘s decided she‘s tired of being upright and would like to sprawl on her awful couch for a few hours, thanks.

(The STORIES I could tell you about this couch! It‘s an atrocity. Those leather couches people leave by the curb as freebies and nobody ever actually picks up because they‘re AWFUL are nicer than this late Victorian piece to which my aunt is hopelessly attached.)

More accessible than I expected and with moments of humor that reminded me of Shakespeare. Mephistopheles as a poodle is an image I won‘t soon forget! I knew the story from the opera, but I‘m glad I read the play. #readYourKobo @CBee

I didn‘t think I would like a YA romance, but I did. Good writing and I even didn‘t mind the fake dating troupe.
When a drama 🎭 obsessed teen is forced to work in her fathers gaming store as part of her punishment, she learns that D&D and games can be fun and fit in with her need to sing and be noticed. Fake dating, confused feelings, and development of father daughter relationship round out this book.
3/5 read for good relationship development
