Welcome to Litsy!

Another good historical romance that I read for Romance Book Club.

What I like about historical romance is that the women have very few choices but somehow find a way to work around the constraints placed on them by society.

Probably my lowest reading month in 5 years! But there were a few I loved. Really enjoying Rachel Harrison! The other two are novel-in-stories type books that fit my short story theme this year.

The bingo gods were not with me for this month‘s #bookspinbingo! I did get bingo, but look at all those almost ones!!

That‘s what I get for reading my feelings more than ever in February. At least I finished by #bookspin book

Finished this 19th century travelogue by famous German poet Theodor Fontane back in Troon. The routes of the tourists in Scotland did not change that much, we did the same one, only the other way round. It was quite interesting to read Fontane‘s descriptions of the countryside abd the different places and compare it to today - especially Edinburgh. I will definitely take it with me again next year when I am going to do second Scotland trip.

February: Romance

I found this an enjoyable read overall. Of course, I loved the Scottish setting. I'm so glad Josie got what was coming to her in the end.

I was reading this 19th century travelogue by famous German author Theodor Fontane while travelling Scotland.

Not sure what I think of this one. I wasn't expecting the dark turn that it took. It's also much too long.

It's been on my TBR for over a decade so I'm glad I finally check it off.

3✨ Starting this book by the description I was intrigued. I liked that there were ghosts inhabiting this castle and a mother and daughter duo inherited the castle. There was a couple of the ghost characters I really liked that reminded me of Hodor from GOT and a kind girl who cared about him. It did jump around in time so it could unfold what happened to the ghost which is always a challenge for me, and it started and ended with the same scene.

My last post about Robert Burns. This is the Poet‘s Path in Arroway. Can you guess what‘s in the bottom right picture?
