OMG! I love Jim Frangione‘s voice and this series of course! My shipper lost my book so I had to reorder it. I couldn‘t wait any longer so I decided to listen to it (thank you #Audible) while I‘m waiting for my physical copy to arrive. Christmas with the Brotherhood ❤️ how delicious! 🧛♂️ 🖤🗡

pickA classic that never gets old. Tim Curry is perfection. I always thoroughly enjoyed this version. It wouldn‘t be Christmas without listening to or watching Ebenezer Scrooge! Bah humbug! 🌲❄️

#Audiodriving this very snowy morning, so this choice seems appropriate! Wishing you all fantastic day Littens! 🌲❄️
‘Tis the season! This comes highly recommended so I‘m tuning in while cross stitching my #Christmas ornaments! Question - anyone know what‘s up with #Litsy today??
#December2019
1. Yes, always! It makes my family and friends crazy 😜 because they think I should want something besides books, I just laugh at them! 🤷♀️
2. Yes, I‘ve given my daughter-in-law a box of books for her birthday and at Christmas every year, ever since my son started dating her - she depends upon it! ❤️
#Two4Tuesday
pickWhat a fascinating Grand Dame! What a fantastically done biography, literally couldn‘t stop listening. Her stoicism certainly carried her through many interesting and tragic historical events. 5🌟+, it really is just that good!

so-soBeing left handed, I can relate and it does shed some light on what feels like to be left handed in a truly right handed world. Growing up in the ‘70‘s there was no left-handed anything to be found. It‘s definitely presented in a humorous fashion as it had me laughing several times but it felt a bit dated.
bailedA 150 pages in and this one is now a pass for me — to much like James Bond - not a fan. The writing is good but the story line it just too over the top with the kind of gadgetry that only the super rich could afford. Hawke‘s character just isn‘t that believable. If you like James Bond this is definitely for you!
pickA vivid and unflinching, well written account of the battle for the ridge. It‘s difficult to understand even while reading the words, what these brave young 🇨🇦 men faced before, during and after that chilly day in April 1917 so many years ago. They fought with the hope that it would truly be the war to end all wars — I wish that had turned out to be true. This was a powerful read and I highly recommend it!
1. Tagged and Vimy
2. Underground Railroad
3. The Last Hours & The Turn Of Midnight

A very unexpected #VintageBook #BookHaul — Rebecca (pub 1946) and Jamaica Inn (pub 1966) — I really like both of these interesting and unusual covers. Sadly the copy of Rebecca has few loose pages but none are missing. The lady who gave them to me said they had been sitting on her bookshelf for over 50 years!
pickAnother excellent de Wolfe story. William de Wolfe is front and centre again in this ongoing saga..he is my very fav! Le Veque manages to credibly resurrect James from the dead. She lures you into her vast medieval world and it feels like you are actually there watching everything unfold right in front of you! All I can say is you can clearly see the end coming -- just make sure you have tissues at the ready! Highly recommend.

The #bookmark thief strikes again ! AKA #Shady! He‘s the sweetest kitten ever but, if I leave a bookmark, a pen, his laser light or my eyeglasses anywhere he can get them, he‘s carting them of to his kitty lair! 😂 As usual the photo is fuzzy because he is in constant motion. #CatsOfLitsy
pickI read this often touted amazing romance when it was new, many years ago. I loved it then and I love it now.. so full of redemption, love, wit and the humorous parts are of the chart brilliant! So curl up and enjoy the journey, you won't regret it! Together Loretta and Kate (the narrator) are unbeatably brilliant! You will come to adore the anti-hero Sebastian, and Jessica is simply marvellous too!
I hope you‘re enjoying it too @nitalibrarian
It‘s been a crazy week! I‘ve been wanting to get to this #buddyread selection all week, so I‘m settling in for a lovely Sunday morning read, in bed. I‘m making every attempt to be ready for today‘s discussion @Librarybelle with the #literarycrew. Having only read the first six pages I‘m already hooked!
It‘s a good thing I‘m reading and not really trying to watch television because my view is being seriously obstructed! #CrazyBelle is putting my TBR pile to good use and is subjecting me to her famous “it‘s feeding time” stare down! Lol #CatsOfLitsy @SquidgetsRoom
pickA remarkably well written book. The subject matter definitely sheds light on a disturbingly dark time in U.S. history. I couldn‘t wrap my mind around some of the more horrific bits. I‘m still processing. Cora certainly had an indomitable spirit. It won the Pulitzer Prize for good reason.

pickThis was the last book I #readinonesitting. I started reading it about 9pm on a Friday and stayed up until 5am ish the next morning. I kept telling myself just one more chapter until there were no more..lol. Somehow I forgot to rate it as a pick 🤷♀️ probably due to a serious lack of sleep. Oh the things we do for a good book! 📖 #TheLastRiders

Today‘s #bookmail @CocoReads Talk about temptation... 😅 but I‘m waiting for all three. Looking forward to our #buddyread! I‘m hoping @LaurenReads and @Daughter-of-words will join us and just maybe @theresidentromantic too!
#TheLastRiders
Taking time this Remembrance Day to finish reading Vimy. So far it‘s tough going - what those young men endured was truly horrific.
...so to all the service men and women out there, past and present - Thank You for your service!
I‘m still working on Vimy and Hawke. Even though I worked Saturday and had a houseful most of the day today I somehow managed to get in 15+ hours in total. I‘m very happy with my results for the #readathon #MrBook1inaMillion #LitsyPartyOfOne #24B4Monday
1. The tagged book
The Serpent by Kathryn LeVeque

Starting this just now, in remembrance, lest we forget. It‘s hard to imagine what these young men faced even with these words that were put to paper. It makes my heart hurt to think of what occurred on that day, in that one battle, so many years ago. #readathon #LitsyPartyOfOne #MrBook1inaMillion #24B4Monday
pickSlade Harris reminded me of Crazy Joe Goldberg, of the book “You' fame. It definitely has the same dark, edgy unapologetic character driven narrative. I enjoyed the bookish and popular culture references they were cleverly interwoven throughout the story. I'm not sure about the ending. 4 ⭐️‘s.
1st book is done.

My #favoritebookishitem (s) are pictured above. I‘m so excited about this authentic Fraser plaid scarf! It was gifted to me today by Barb, one of my most loyal and awesome #bookstore patrons. She went on an Outlander tour in Oct and brought me back the scarf! Readers are the best kind of people! #Gratefulreads. The next time I read/watch anything Outlander I‘ll be sporting my scarf! ❤️❣️❤️📖 @Woodchuc67 @SquidgetsRoom
“At first I didn‘t understand the lucky logic of libraries - books for free as often as you wanted? It defied all I had learned in my five years of being. We could borrow 30 books at a time. We giggled to our getaway car clutching our precious plunder.” Spade Harris

Although I‘m at work today I‘ve managed this so far for #MrBook1inaMillion #readathon #24B4Monday and #LitsyPartyOfOne This book is really good so far .. it kinda reminds me of Crazy Joe of “You” fame. I received a free copy from #AudioBookBoom
Sadly I have to work Saturday and will have a houseful most of Sunday but I‘m going to try to participate as much as possible in the #LitsyPartyOfOne #MrBook1inaMillion and #24B4Monday #readathon. In honour of Remembrance Day I‘ve picked out a couple of WWI books that I‘ve been wanting to read for quite some time.
bailedI checked this one out because of curiosity and the buzz at the local #bookstore about it. It‘s not for me. It‘s a really immature version of Fifty Shades, which I read and liked. The writing, IMO, was just not very good, it‘s simplistic and somewhat repetitive, and the reader was not very engaging.

Well this happened today - cover says western but inside says - romance. 👀 A real printing nightmare. It makes me laugh at how many western readers (mostly men) received this unexpected surprise! A wild west western with a twist! The printers need more practice! 😂
#EpicMisprint
pickA cute simple little story with wonderful illustrations. Another one to go in the grandchildren‘s library, all I need now are grandchildren! Lol! #Shady is photobombing again 😻 #CatOfLitsy
