Welcome to Litsy!

Thank Goodness For Books. As some of you might not know, my dad spent the majority of the month of June in the hospital. So I spent my time whilst keeping him company reading. As a result I completed my board! Dad is finally home! And if any of my reader friends are nurses THANK YOU for all you do. Our nurses rocked! Nurses put the “care” in healthcare. At least ours did. @TheAromaofBooks

This is what my last year has been about. Haven‘t really had the time to start, let alone finish any of my own books. But he‘s been enjoying mommy reading to him his books. His favorite at the moment is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Plus we‘ve moved again and most of my books are still in storage. Can‘t wait to get them out and organize my bookshelves when I order new ones.

Today was a long day of work, but I did fit in a few pages of Tolkien‘s letters this morning while I was filling the overhead bin with corn. I was intrigued reading Letter 210 with Tolkien‘s comments about a possible film adaptation in the late 1950s. I often wonder what authors think about adaptations, so it‘s interesting to actually get some of his unsatisfied perspective.

I think #FurrowedMiddlebrow brought this to my attention and I just loved it -- more than D.E. Stevenson's similar “Mrs. Tim,“ books, to be honest. Narrator Henrietta would be a huge hit on Twitter.

I won't be able to read any of the other books I put in my #bookspinbingo for June (and that includes my #bookspin and #doublespin) because I got arcs that have a priority for the month... I so hope July goes better :/
How is your bingo going?

Here is my July #bookspin list. This will get me all caught up with my bookshelves! This of course only means I get to hit the bookstores again and amass a TBR pile again! WHOOT! @TheAromaofBooks

#Roll100 for July tells me it is time to finally read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society!

This has been on my tbr for AGES!
I caught a bit of the film recently but not all of it. Just enough to bring it back to the forefront 🤣
So I am looking forward to this one!

My #LitsyLoveSummerSwap package arrived safe and sound!! Super excited to open it - thanks so much @Hazel2019 !!
