Welcome to Litsy!

Part of the #Gladstonerds #GladstonesLibrary #ReadingRetreat #BookHaul (quite literally - carried home 13 books)

Thank you especially to @scripturient @Oryx @squirrelbrain @Caroline2 @TrishB 😘😘😘 - also thanks to @RaeLovesToRead for foregoing her prior claim on The Binding and letting me schlepp it home instead.

Miss this view already.

I'm home. Might have a reading party with the offspring now.

The first line of the 1930s part of the tagged book is:

Ken Kourian's eyes, pale green like thirsty grass, bent to the coffee-stained page in front of him.

All of the fabulous books from our Blind Date with a Book swap at Gladstone‘s Library #readingretreat.

Are there any you‘ve read and would recommend?!

Thank you to @julesG ‘s kids for my lovely gifts!

Pingu is very tired after his loooong trip from Germany to North Wales so he‘s having a quick snooze before joining his friends on the #readingretreat.

Unpacked my book pile at our #readingretreat.

I‘ve not had one of the rooms with the posh book wallpaper before!

Ibasho. [...] It means "whereabouts". A place where one feels like home, where they feel like themselves.

Ibasho + picture of Gladstone's Library = perfect ?

Background is a house that caught my eye as I walked around the neighborhood of Gladstone‘s Library.

While there I read the silly cozy mystery and started the MHC. I read more of it during the trip home and hope to make more of a dent while watching baseball today. The Grande is interesting but a bit depressing, so I have to be in the right frame of mind.

I also redid my small bookcase and picked up library holds.
