Two Can Keep a Secret | Karen M. Mcmanus

Just started today and already two hours in. Really needed a can‘t-put-down kind of mystery and this is the right level of attention I can give at this point in the semester. I‘m drowning in grading! #teachersoflitsy #professorsoflitsy

Soiled Doves: Prostitution in the Early West | Anne Seagraves

Diving in to some fun research! I spent the afternoon sifting though primary documents at the historical society and I‘m looking forward to these this evening. #research #professorsoflitsy #historian

Erinsuereads Soiled doves is one of my favorites! (edited) 5y

tpixie Fun research! Good luck! It‘s great when you can combine work with reading 📖 📚 👩‍🏫 (edited) 5y

Hollie @tpixie going back for more books today and more research looking into the brothels at Old Fort Hays! 5y

tpixie @Hollie awesome! I find it interesting that that‘s about the only job women could have back then - to be independent 5y

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society | Annie Barrows, Mary Ann Shaffer

I‘ve been MIA from Litsy because I‘ve had zero time to read. But, my students are taking an exam and it is almost spring break so hopefully I‘ll get to finish this book soon and rejoin the lovely Litsy community. I‘ve got a conference this weekend (Mennonites and the Holocaust) so I‘m tucking some books in my bag to read during the boring parts and avoid any and all people-y activity! #teachersoflitsy #professorsoflitsy

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Missed you!!! 6y

Hollie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I missed you too! I‘ll shoot you an email soon and update you on all the life that has kept me from Litsy. I got your card, it made my day! ♥️ 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Hollie ok great!! I look forward to hearing from you!! Yay! I‘m so glad it did! 💗 6y

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards When I returned to grad school and had to give away my classroom library, I swear my students emptied it out in 15 minutes. Gotta love those teen readers! 6y

Ready Player One: A Novel | Ernest Cline

Exam invigilation can be fun: the students are sweating, I‘m enjoying my book. 😋 #teachersoflitsy #professorsoflitsy

GatheringBooks i find invigilation to be so stressful - esp here in Singapore. But yes, I do bring my book too!!!! :) 6y

BkClubCare New word for me! “Invigilation”. 😎 6y

Lcsmcat @BkClubCare New to me too. In the US we call it “proctoring.” 6y

BkClubCare @Lcsmcat - yep; thought of that right after I hit the SEND button. 🤓🤪 6y

Mdargusch Ha! How fun! 6y

scripturient @GatheringBooks It can be - yes. These students here were a bit high maintenance. Can you close the window? Can you tell this guy to stop fidgeting? etc. 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️ @BkClubCare @Lcsmcat 😁👍🏻😂 6y

GatheringBooks @scripturient well at least you have your chocolate bar (plus your book) to keep you company. :) 6y

Gezemice Nice. 👍 I love that book. 6y

Diary of Mary Berg: Growing Up in the Warsaw Ghetto | Mary Berg

I‘m doing some research this morning and trying to talk myself into taking down the tree. I also need to clean the house. I have so much to do I don‘t quite know where to start except for that I need another cup of coffee before I can tackle any of it! #professorsoflitsy #historiansoflitsy

TK421 Coffee always helps! 6y

Hollie @TK421 I may need to switch to something stronger when it comes to actually writing up this research! (Whiskey should do it!) 6y

TK421 Whiskey fueled research. What could go wrong!? 😁 6y

ValerieAndBooks I have the Americans in Paris in my TBR! What are you researching now? 6y

Hollie @ValerieAndBooks I‘m writing an article on Drue Leyton Tartiere (an American actress who married a Frenchman and then joined the resistance, saving downed British and American flyers near occupied Paris- one of whom was my grandfather). This is the beginning of the research pile, but hopefully it will get me a start! 6y

ValerieAndBooks Sounds fascinating. Maybe you can share the final article when you‘re finished? 6y

Hollie @ValerieAndBooks I‘ll see what I can do! The Americans in Paris was a good read, she‘s featured in that book. She faked uterine cancer to escape Nazi internment so she could get back to resistance work! 6y

DivineDiana Sounds like a very interesting woman! 6y

Hollie @DivineDiana yes, she was badass! 6y
