Welcome to Litsy!

Another book that took me longer to finish than it should have. These are older stories as Csath was writing in the early 1900s. The stories themselves were quite oppressive. Csath was an opium addict who eventually murdered his wife before committing suicide and many of his stories reflect the noise in his head. CW for animal abuse, etc. One of the few Europa that wasn‘t really for me. #europacollective

Some of my favorite spooky reads for the Fall.
The year of the witching, dracula, and not good for maidens are a few others I really enjoy.

3✨ It‘s really hard to discuss and review this book without spoilers. This book is read in two POVs one of them has a lot of political information until they have to go in hiding, and the other is pretty packed with adventure. I liked the adventure side and my jaw dropped when I read who I was going to get to read as the second POV. #SeriesLove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

My third stop was #Vienna, a beautiful city, where I visited lots of fantastic museums and palaces. Inspired by Schloss Schönbrunn, I also read this massive biography about Kaiserin Sisi. I highly recommend it.

One of the best book I have read in my life.

Beautiful weather today so I spent the afternoon reading on the front porch 🌞

Beautiful adaption with Helen Mirren! Streaming on Amazon.

I appreciate the complicated & raw relationship between the two women.

Joanna was an amazing woman and was one of the only women to inherit her kingdom in her own right. She brought as much peace and prosperity as her horrible husbands would allow and her kingdom flourished into a power under her strong rule after her horrible husbands died.
The book gets deep into papel politics as Joanna played a surprisingly big role in the history of the Catholic Church.
3.5/5 fascinating but bogged in church politics

This book was a trip. The narrator is a social worker who mostly works with children (I think). I enjoyed this behind-the-scenes look, the disjointed nature of the narrator‘s thoughts. Social work, work with the public in general, can you leave you feeling jaded and cynical, and maybe even a little deadened to things that should shock you. I look forward to reading more by Konrad. 241/1,001 #1001Books
