Welcome to Litsy!

#Read2025

Finished last Sunday for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 & one of my #Roll100 May picks (#70: Any Children‘s Book). Written in 1906, is a sweet story about a unique group of dolls & their dollhouse. While I didn‘t love it, I liked it well enough for it to be a pick.

I love finding these wacky foreign covers! I guess that's supposed to be Queen Crosspatch? Who's so obviously a sexy minx! 😂

This was cute but a little sappy for my tastes. Burnett was better at writing for older children, I think. I did wonder if this inspired Rumer Godden's wonderful doll stories.

So sorry my month has been a little busy!!! But here is next months read!!!

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending my #HyggeHour reading the tagged book for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 on my phone from the Internet Archive. My reading snack is a decadent brownie purchased from the craft fair I stopped by this weekend along with some coconut tea..

My mood is relieved that while I do need to get some work done tomorrow, I don‘t have to go to or be at work & I can sleep in a bit.

Starting late on my #ChildrensClassicRead2025

I was able to get this & next month‘s Firebird from my library!
