Welcome to Litsy!

Cards lay on the table, and a game of durachki had been dealt. On the leather sofa at the other side of the sofa a bed had been made, and on it reclined, in a dressing-gown and a cotton nightcap, Maksimov, plainly ill and enfeebled, though sweetly smiling. On returning with Grushenka from Mokroye that day some two months earlier, the homeless old fellow had stayed with her and had been inseparable from her ever since.

I don't think the marketing copy on this book quite reflects the content. It's much more slice-of-life than I expected, which ultimately wasn't bad, but I kept going "When are they gonna set off and head for Ruthy already??" If you like books that are more character- than plot-driven, this one will give you a lot to absorb. #historicalfiction #sorta #sliceoflife

I was really enjoying this read...until my Kindle broke on me 😔 A new one is on it's way and I usually don't rely on it so much, but I don't like reading ebooks in lit up screens, so can't keep reading atm.

I'm not sure if I'm on vol. 11 as the volumes are published and I'm reading chapter by chapter on my manga app. I'm a huge manga reader and this is one of the best so far ❤❤ #animenerd #manga #mangareader #yona #akatasukinoyona #ipromisetherearedragons #sorta

“That chair” is getting a little out of control these days.🙈

A visiting friend (after I hid all of the clothes in the closet): “That looks like the perfect place to read!”

Me: “Yes, that is absolutely what I do with that chair.” #readingchair #sorta

Am reading, but am also distracted by the Filson catalog. And the puppers. #filson #holes #louissachar #amreading #sorta #catalogs #doesthatcount

I used to read Greek mythology as a kid for fun. The stories of strength, cunning, sabotage, love, and the fickle nature of the gods as they played with the lives of men always entertained. Hades and Persephone always fascinated me. {unsure of who to give photo credit to but I liked this artist's rendition of the pair) 💕🍂🌱💕#aprilbookshowers #mythology #childhoodread #romantic #sorta 🤔

Well, my library is stuffed full of things that needed to be stashed away to make room for the holiday celebrations, so I can't browse my shelves to pick out the red & green books. So, the next best thing is holding my phone at arm's length while leaning over stuff to snap pix of my shelves - and a few other things. Oh, and a screen cap of some recent reads. #SeasonsReadings2016 #RedsandGreens #sorta #missingmylibrary #xmasinvasion
