Welcome to Litsy!

Embarrassingly silly, but it appeared in my book box and has a #ProperNounInTheTitle. Light fiction about boys' hijinks in a private school, very popular when I was a kid, written by a 14-year-old. I thought of sending it to my nine-year-old nephew in England, but can't bring myself to send him anything that includes a “panty raid,“ even if the girls are the co-planners. Some things don't bear the test of time. #Booked2023

I‘ve been meaning to try a Manga, as it is such a huge seller at work. But nope! This retelling of Doyle‘s villain, with a murderous ‘Robin Hood‘ vibe, was not for me. Lacking the wit of Doyle‘s stories and the characters fell flat. The art style lacks a bit of variety and nuance in the facial expressions for me, making it sometimes difficult to tell characters apart. I tried, and maybe I‘ll try a different manga series….But this one was just meh.

Arthur discovered a charm bracelet that belonged to his wife a year after her death. This is the story of his exploration of where the charms came from, and about Miriam‘s life before they met.

It‘s sweet, but I‘m not sure it‘ll stay with me. A light pick for this light read.

My first audio listen for 2023 from @MallenNC #ALspine list @monalyisha is FANTASTIC 😄
Totally loving it! Using for #Booked2023 #ProperNounInTheTitle #52Books23 #AboutMurder

@Cinfhen Here's the #propernouninthetitle list (without the #cityorcountryintitle prompt, as the list would have been huge). #52bookclub2023 #booked2023. Mrs Dalloway & My Friend Anna may not be of much help, however, as they are quite specific to me.

@Cinfhen here's a list for #acityorcountryinthetitle for #52bookclub2023, as it doubles up with #propernouninthetitle for #booked2023.
