Welcome to Litsy!

I choose this to read as I wanted something short and light after my last read. This was exactly what I was expecting after reading the blurb.

I enjoyed this short and sweet little story. I was familiar with some retellings of it but I don‘t think I‘d ever actually read the original story, so I‘m glad I finally have now. Thanks for a great round ladies! I really liked everyone‘s choices. 😄 This will be on its way home to you soon @bookwormjillk . I‘ll let you know when I send it.

(Thanks for the card @JenlovesJT47 ! Happy late Valentine‘s Day! 😊💕)

My favorite snowman in Gatlinburg TN⛄

Had this book on my shelf at home and decided to read it in memory MHC‘s recent passing. It was a quick read that kept me interested.

This week's blog is all about Gothic Fiction! I use A Christmas Carol as an example to break down the genre and a couple of examples from The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. 👻🧛‍♂️🧟‍♀️💙📚

What do you think of gothic fiction?

I enjoyed this 2nd holiday with the Wongs. This time it was oldest son, Greg‘s turn to feel the full effect of his Mum‘s matchmaking (with lots of encouragement from his Dad and Grandparents & some teasing from his brothers) when she volunteers him to drive his high school girlfriend home for the holidays (they both live in Toronto but haven‘t crossed paths for 15 years) - there‘s a snow storm, a hotel room with only 1 bed & no heating...

1. Yes, it did! Shocking for Oklahoma!
2. I usually go for atmospherics. This week it was The Hazel Wood! Excellent so far! Even bought the sequel, so I‘m ready, Freddy!
3. To all those rising early and heading off to work in the morning - You got this! 🤗

The second section of the book, Second Branch, The Boots was quite an enjoyable story but the parts either side of it wasn't that special. When it was written I expect it was classed as a good story but being written partly in Old English there were bits I couldn't quite understand and it wasn't a patch on today's writers. Although it only consisted of 50 pages I was glad when I reached the end.

The story of A Christmas Carol and how MR Dickens was inspired ~ I hope it‘s true- it‘s interesting

The puzzle I did with my mom that she got for Christmas!
Just finished it today and it was fitting with all the snow we got last night!
This was was so fun to do and had unique pieces! We loved it!
