Welcome to Litsy!

I‘d read mysteries. There‘s a lot of room for a variety of stories, settings, characters, etc. #sundayfunday

Selling books at another fair. I decided to start The Beautiful Mystery because I figured I could dip in and out .... I think I was mistaken

So an American Pope in Rome. And he has a degree in science. Interesting #worldreligion #conclave2025

An interesting historical fictional novel set in the 18th century in China. The characters were quite interesting. The explanations of many different aspects of life, such as religion. I liked the main character Li Du, was a librarian and very intelligent. He has wisdom to share. 4/5⭐️

📖 Sun Dancing: A Vision of Medieval Ireland by Geoffrey Moorhouse

I so get the varied opinions on this one. Not a book for everyone. I, however, seem to be drawn to books lately about living in isolation (side effect of reading the news I am sure) and found that I really enjoyed this book about three monks who set out to find the island envisioned in a dream. It is slow but anxiety filled as you see them struggle with the elements and the requires blind obedience to a leader who does not deserve it.
