Welcome to Litsy!

Well, that was one depressing and thought-provoking Christmas-adjacent book! I did like it though. It got a little repetitive and long-winded in some places; at a couple of places, I actually said out loud, “Will you just get to the point?!” Willis‘ take on pandemic behavior is absolutely right. #ClassicLSFBC #audiowalk

I‘ve got about 3 hours left in this book, and I‘m holding out for a happyish ending. Probably not realistic, but I sure wouldn‘t mind one. It got up to 79° here today, so I was walking in shorts again. #ClassicLSFBC #audiowalk

Hi Everyone!! I'm trying to be better with my mid-month check-in for #ClassicLSFBC. I hope everyone was able to find a copy of Doomsday Book by Connie Willis, either in print, ebook or audiobook. Now is the time to make nominations for January's #ClassicLSFBC selection. As usually, the book with the most votes will be January pick and the runner up will be for February. With it being a new year, with a new presidential administration, ⬇️

Well, something happened in this book that I wasn‘t expecting, but when I look back, it‘s not surprising. A friend and I went on a historic homes and churches tour, and it was such a beautiful day, I went for another walk when we were done. #audiowalk #ClassicLSFBC

#weekendreads

My weekend is booked with these three works:

The Whispering Statue is for #NancyDrewBR and #ChristmasCrimeChallenge

The Doomsday Book is for #ClassicLSFBC

Mystery in White is for #ChristmasCrimeChallenge

I‘m predicting that someone Kivrin meets in the past is not who we and Kivrin are lead to think he is. I‘m not that great with figuring things out, so we‘ll see if my prediction is right. #ClassicLSFBC #audiowalk

In a time travel accident Kivrin Engle ends up just before Christmas 1348, when the Black Death arrived in Oxford and the surrounding countryside. Can she survive until rescue comes from 2055 Oxford? ⬇

I‘m glad this is the December book for #ClassicLSFBC because I‘m not sure I would‘ve picked it up again after multiple attempts to read it. I‘m about half way through and really like it. I got home before the rain started. It was 75° today; tomorrow, it‘s supposed to be in the 40s. #audiowalk
