Welcome to Litsy!

Such a fantastic read about siblings navigating family dynamics, relationships, life‘s purpose, and mental health. Both full of humor and poignant sensitivity. Highly recommended on audio.

1) Resting in Uncertainty (alternate: That Was Fast. What Now?)

2) It's not specifically what I would do at this point in my life (biking solo 10,000+ miles), but I love the way Sara Dykman lives her values.

I could not stop laughing. If you enjoy British mysteries, do read this. The art makes it perfect. Beware the vicar!

I‘ve read Caroline Alexander‘s book about Shackleton‘s expedition, & I have Alfred Lansing‘s on my shelf, so I couldn‘t resist downloading this audio as well. It‘s more straightforward & scientific in a logbook sort of way than Alexander‘s, but I still found most of it fascinating as a more immediate, first person version. The part about the Aurora got long to me, but other than that, I‘m amazed by this survival story every time I read about it.

I am so excited for #CampLitsy24 I had such a great time last year & really enjoyed the 6 books we read! 📚🏕️

Here are my 4 nominations for this year. I confess, they are all from my 2024 #BOTM & #AardvarkBookClub boxes & I need the push 😉 but I think they‘ll be good for discussion!

If you haven‘t done CampLitsy before, check out @BarbaraBB ‘s post for details. The books are great & the hosts are amazing! Barbara, @Megabooks & @squirrelbrain

A look at some of the dark destinations you can visit around the world.

This was an interesting read and some fascinating places. It does focus more heavily on war related sites but there's some natural disasters too. Some I have heard of and others were new. 4*

Happy Saturday! I'm only half way through this book, but it is definitely a pick from me- it has me cackling with laughter!!!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Mary Austin was an American writer and one of the early nature writers of the American Southwest. Her book, The Land of Little Rain, written in 1903, describes the fauna, flora, and people of the region between the High Sierra and the Mojave Desert of southern California. As this area of the country is not far from where we live in Vegas, I decided I would like to go and see these areas and visit her home in Independence, CA.
