Welcome to Litsy!

An important work of rationality and debunkery that runs the risk of alienating a wider readership with it's convoluted, heavy-going writing style.

Voodoo histories made me feel a lot saner, but I did really have to concentrate. The author's train of thought wasn't always immediately clear.

⭐⭐⭐ A high 3 stars.

And that's my #pickleschallenge complete 😁💅
I will, however, be attempting Infinite Jest before the year is out 🙃

Happy Friday, Litsy friends! ?

It's been on my shelf for about 12 years. I've read the introduction several times already. This time I'm going to finish it! (Pickles isn't convinced.)

Fellow Pickles challengers - keep us posted! You've got plenty of time to read your chosen book. Just tag me when you're done or tag #pickleschallenge and I'll do you a Pickles post to celebrate 💕

Inspired by #two4tuesday

I'm challenging myself to read the book that's been on my TBR longest.

I'm sure a lot of you have that book you keep saying you're going to read, but never seem to have got round to... War & Peace? Great Expectations? Vanity Fair?

Pickles can see what you're up to!

So far, tackling the bane of our bookshelves we have @LiteraryinLawrence @Branwen @Nutmegnc and @BookNAround

1. BA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA *cough*...... 😬 *looks guiltily at TBR*
Maybe.

2. I think the tagged has been on my shelf for about 15 years. I got it from Blackwells at the start of my reading career... in fact, this question gives me an idea for a reading challenge....

Status: I own this one on audiobook, it however is still lingering in TBR purgatory. Maybe 2020 will be its year!🤣

Snatching a couple of chapters on my way home from the post run! 😇 #newtsreadathon2019 #24b4monday #summersendreadathon ( @Clwojick )

Having a #duvetday and working through these two for #24b4monday , #SummersEndReadathon and #newtsreadathon2019
( @Clwojick )

Catching an hour in the park, before the predicted rain. #newts2019 #newtsreadathon2019 #outdoorreading #parklife

Settled in the park, waiting for BIL‘s set. Hope the rain stays off.

Today I‘ve finished “Cheer Up Love”, and “I‘ll Be Gone in the Dark”, and started “The Hanging Tree”, and this one. On a bit of a tear.

I‘ve completed Auror, and Ministry Worker: Law Enforcement. Once I‘ve finished “The Hanging Tree”, I‘ll have the NEWTs for Prof of DADA, and adding this one completes Healer.

It seems my instinct to prep for sudden career changes transcends reality, lol #newts2019 #newtsreadathon2019 #magicalreadingchallenge
