Welcome to Litsy!

Bit of a #haul Some books on my wishlist dropped in price so I hit up my Christmas vouchers. Conan Doyle for the Defence was only Qb!

Great book and a fun escape, although I do wish there were maps to orient me. The art was lovely though! ⚓️

Pretty happy with this free mini haul from a local book swap. I now have 5 books about maps in my tbr pile and will absolutely hang my head in shame if i ever get lost again 🗺 #turnsoutimamapgeek

I had heard a great interview with the author about this book so had it on my TBR. I listened to it on audio and it was pretty exciting, the narration was good and I was certainly interested enough to keep going and finish it pretty quickly. a story of 2 brave young girls on an adventure to save their island. Lots of magic and fantasy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

The images of old maps were beautiful and fascinating. The stories behind how the phantom places were “discovered” (and “undiscovered”) got to be repetitive by the end, but overall it was an enjoyable journey and interesting history lesson. (And yes, I used the same photo with different filters in my reviews for this and the other map book. I have no idea why I only took one picture before returning the books!)

Hello Littens! It‘s been awhile. I had to take a Litsy break to see if a bit of time away could re-spark my interest. I‘m back, at least for the time being, so we‘ll see how it goes 🤞🏻

In the meantime, the pictured book is what I‘m currently reading. I expect to finish later today.

I struggled my way through this book. While it does have some interesting parts, most of the book felt very dry. I picked this book after being recommended it for my interests in geology, but this book is mostly about the life and the downfall of William Smith.
