Welcome to Litsy!

“If you've never read Little Dorrit before, you might want to save this Introduction for an Afterword. There's no way to dance around all of Dickens's secrets and revelations and still make myself intelligible; three sentences from here, I'm going to start letting stuff slip, so if you want to bail, bail now.”

As a compulsively responsible reader who always feels obligated to read the intro, I SO appreciate this spoiler alert! #WhattheDickens

My #BookSpinBingo board for June is ready

My #BookSpin is a Norwegian nonfiction
My #DoubleSpin is the first quarter of Little Dorrit #WhatTheDickens

Hoping for another great reading month

#WhatTheDickens

Ugh, I don‘t care for Mr Flintwinch at all also I‘m highly suspicious of Arthur‘s mother 🤨 I love the little drawings in a Dickens novel, wouldn‘t it be nice if novels had little drawings in them? I guess the costs for an illustrator and printing would be astronomical. @Texreader

Whoa! I think I know where the idea of the DOGE came from!! Read this chapter fall! It is ominously prescient!

I‘m very excited to have found this at HPB‘s Memorial Day sale today. #whattheDickens @Cuilin

#5joysFriday

1) son and I visited my parents (always lovely)
2) Mom, Dad, son and I had a couple of uproarious games of dominoes (I won both) 😁
3) saw loads of cardinals at their house
4) son and I went for a late late night walk at my parents‘ place to enjoy the stars (photo courtesy of the internet) in a sky mostly absent of light pollution
5) upcoming Memorial Day to remember real heroes
Bonus: starting #whattheDickens early!

repost for @@Cuilin and I are so excited to start up #whattheDickens again in June! Read the tagged book in June and July and share the joy of one of the best authors in human history. (I‘m biased, I‘ve started already and loving his prose as always.) We look forward to sharing your thoughts about the book.
