Welcome to Litsy!

We moved from Omaha to Des Moines in August, and I‘ve still barely unpacked. Every day I look at this shelf and feel some peace because at least I have one tiny corner of my new life organized! These are my physical “to reads”. My niece helped color code them for the shelf@.

My copy arrived. Yea!

All the votes are in & Hughes' "Expendable Man" barely wins, with 2 more votes than Modiano's "In the Cafe of Lost Youth". I loved "In a Lonely Place" & I'm looking forward to reading this one. Join fellow 1,001 Books enthusiast @Liz_M & myself for the December #NYRBBookClub readalong & monthly discussion.

I‘ve got a bit of reading to do to catch up on my #goodreadschallenge so... along with my already planned #TBR for various book clubs this month-
Hoping to knock some titles off my #mttbr for #nonfictionnovember 😁

I just received the #Persephone Biannually, always a pleasant surprise. But in it I read that they consider to stop publishing if/when Brexit continues. That would be such a shame!

Great idea @monalyisha and thanks for the tag @kspenmoll 🙌

I‘m not in a book club, and some days I wish I were, while other days make me glad I‘m not 😅 However, if I got to decide the reading list for a book club for a year, this would be my list. All of them are super high on my tbr, and I‘m thinking a mix of different things is the way to go

Book 2 finished for #DeweysReadathon #Deweys24HrReadathon #DeweyOct @DeweysReadathon

Another retelling of the myth of Hades kidnapping Persephone. This one was slightly more in keeping with the traditional story.

Loved the art!

Moving on to book two. #Deweys24HrReadathon #deweysreadathon #DeweyOct @DeweysReadathon

A retelling of the myth in which Hades kidnaps Persephone and how we got winter. Told from Hades' point of view, of course.

I really enjoy this series. They are quick, cute reads. I'll be reading the one about Medusa next. Thanks again to @ravenlee for putting them on my radar.

Now, for the first time since she'd come down to the Underworld, Demeter smiled. "I'm going to get myself a little bungalow someplace warm. I won't work too hard, just hard enough to make sure it's never winter there. I shall call this place... Florida."
