Welcome to Litsy!

"Nolite te bastardes carborundorum. Don't let the bastards grind you down"

"Ignoring isn‘t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it"

"I want everything back, the way it was. But there is no point to it, this wanting"

❤️This book and some of Atwood's quotes just gut me. The simplicity of words for such complex emotions/thoughts.

"We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?"

"Last night I thought about all the kerosene I've used in the past ten years. And I thought about books. And for the first time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books. A man had to think them up. A man had to take a long time to put them down on paper"

I started this thinking I'd read it into February.... it got me and I raced through it. Our February book club nominations were books written by an African American female author. Attica Locke was new to me but I'm hoping not for long as I enjoyed her storytelling. A dead migrant worker is found on the antebellum property managed by Caren Gray. The investigation, race relations, and southern politics dive deep.

"Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to,” he replied. “And you‘ve just got too much common sense."

"On her writing table lay the letters which had come for her that morning. A card for a dress-show, a shooting invitation for Clem, two dinner parties, three sherry parties.."

✋?Can I please live in a world where I'd get two written invites to dinner and three invites to sherry parties? How fun!

"Your twisting is done--you have the last thread of my heart. I wonder: when the thread grows slack, will you feel it?" A delightful October book club read. I'm so glad to read this book with a group of ladies. So many themes to discuss! Highly recommend for book club reads. #affinity #bookclub #bookwormbeacons #bookish #octoberread #sarahwaters #riverheadbooks #bookstagram #litsy #pick #recommend #october
