Welcome to Litsy!

This book had the most bonkers moments. Not used to seeing "gobshite" or "how things goin'" when reading a book of ancient Athens. I'm telling you, it works. It turned out to be an emotional read. How one person survived a war and imprisonment by knowing Euripedes work.

A bit far fetched but thoroughly entertaining!

So many what ifs when it comes to the Roman conquering of Greece… If it wasn‘t for Rome, who knows what Greece or Europe could have looked like today… #history #europeanhistory #ancientgreece #ancientrome #romanempire #europe #normandavies #greece #syracuse #alternatehistory #moeriscus #Carthage #hannibal

So good. Took me way too long to get into but that was all me and too many freakin‘ mundane things to attend to (like cleaning and j-o-b). Gotta love a book that upon finishing the very last sentence, tears threaten and so I must laugh instead. Pick! Stack it!

Grand so.

“It‘s hope that makes us afraid, and I remind myself that a man should be grateful for his fears, ‘cause it means he has something to lose and to win.”

“Directors without a producer are like a ship without a sail, the medium of wind to endeavors nautical being equivalent to coin in all theatrical,…”

Some really great sentences in this! 🌟 #debut #drama #ToF

What a wonderful book. It does this book a disservice to call it a comedy or a tragedy or any one thing. It is a layered story with interesting and lovable characters. It has a perspective and, yes, it made me laugh. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Using litsy after a while!Also writing reviews after a while, bear with me while I do a reviews dump of books I've loved!Cannot recommend this delightful historical fiction enough.

Another menopause oriented book, a subject I am not really interested in. It‘s an important subject but it mostly isn‘t that interesting to me. I didn‘t like Sandwich much either. All Fours is an exception of course!

Anyhow this one is about a woman who leaves her husband and daughter to get caught up in working out and feminism. And there is the shooting of an innocent black boy of course. And cancer. A lot of subjects. Not much told.
