Welcome to Litsy!

#WinterWonderland Day 21: #TryToRemember is our theme as girlfriends now that I am in Manila for the Christmas holidays. We have been friends for over 30 years now and counting. We were the original Sex and The City even before the show came out (we are missing another girlfriend based in Jersey City now). And yes, we fight like a girl.

I have yet to read this but look forward to, when my mood strikes. Ishiguro is known to write memorable stories that stays with you long after you‘ve finished the book (Never Let Me Go did that to me). The blurb says the story is about a renowned pianist, arriving in a Central European city he cannot seem to identify, for a concert he cannot remember agreeing to give, who later come to realise he is facing the most crucial performance of his life.

My New Years resolution - #trytoremember that finishing the night with shots is not my best idea. 😂

Feeling super ill today after last night‘s Christmas party- a progressive dinner with our friends in the street. Is that just an antipodean thing or do y‘all do this in the rest of the world too? We had a cocktail and different part of the meal at each house - lots of fun and then the tequila happened 🎅🤶🤢

I‘ve usually got a stack of books by my basement door waiting to be taken down to the shelves we have down there. And with our laundry down there, I make multiple trips a day. But as much as I #trytoremember to take the books down with me, I never do. Now I‘ve just made the problem worse by putting a book basket by the door. 😂 At least they look cuter now and are more contained. #winterwonderland

Loved this book. A regular theme, waking up each morning to have forgotten everything, but this one was very well written. A standout in the field. Great tension! #TryToRemember #WinterWonderland

The joy of reading sometimes is finding words you recognise but still need to look up - vestigial 'forming a very small remnant of something that was once greater or more noticeable' - i am really enjoying this book, and totally absorbed in the story - I was wondering whether i cd think of anything to post today when i happened upon this extract and word. I think it works. I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday.

As always, I'm surprised to discover more new-to-me Christies! And I think #TryToRemember is basically how Poirot and Marple approach everyone they meet 😂 #WinterWonderland

Sitting here, wanting to write reviews. And honestly, as much as I #TryToRemember the plots, some of the books were so bland that I feel like I haven't read them at all.

I‘m going home to my family for Christmas tomorrow, and I #TryToRemember everything, but it is hard to focus when I‘m only 100 pages away from the end of the book!
