Welcome to Litsy!

In 1848, Captain John Franklin & his crew went missing whilst searching for the Northwest Passage - a route between the Atlantic & the Pacific oceans deep within the Canadian Arctic. If you've ever read 'The Terror' by Dan Simmons, the book was based on that journey. In 2008 comedian & sometime actor, Billy Connolly, completed a 10-week voyage to the area for a TV series & this book is the resulting accompaniment. (continued)

Was struggling to decide whether to DNF this or not. 1/3 through the book and it has no "spark" for me. I am interested in finding out about the tribes in India but this book does not seem to delve too deeply into it so will need to hunt for one that does.

@Tanisha_A and me in our natural habitat! Such a shame that the best people live so far away! My heart will forever remember our weekend in Vienna ❤️ hopefully we‘ll meet again soon! Litsy just has the best people as members🥰

The past weekend I met @Tanisha_A in vienna. We went bookshopping, saw amazing art, ate cake and had great conversations- all thanks to Litsy! I‘m so grateful that an app like this made this friendship possible!

We bought the tagged book and will buddy read it some day 🥰

Welcome! To "Behind the Scenes at the Library".

I'll be your hostess... Ana. And here is my desk... with stacks of Large Print standing orders (on the right), stacks of travel guides to the left (which have been on various forms of backorder status due to the pandemic), and stamp catalogs directly in front.

Oh, and plenty of BTS on my cubicle wall ?

Polish journalist Kapuściński lived and worked in various places in Africa for many years. Here, he chronicles a bit of history, some current events, and personal stories spanning from the 50s to the 90s. It‘s terrific.

Here‘s my latest update for #ReadingAfrica2022! In April, I read books for Libya 🇱🇾 Mali 🇲🇱 Uganda 🇺🇬 Kenya 🇰🇪 Burundi 🇧🇮. I think I‘m on track for the challenge, but there still lots to go. Africa is huge!

I should be going on my #travels to Majorca late May.

After an excellent start in January, I only added three countries to my #ReadingAfrica2022 in February: Senegal, Malawi, and Egypt. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Oh well, hopefully I step it up in March! (And it was only two, but I was able to read a quick one yesterday!)
