Welcome to Litsy!

This book didn‘t work at all for me. I just don‘t like adventurous books I think. And it was sloooow. So I am glad I gave it a try after many years on my shelves but now I must put it aside 🤷🏻‍♀️

There is a tiger 🐅 that features prominently in the beginning of the book but the only thin ice is metaphorical. This is a historical adventure about a boy who escapes the slums of 19th century London to travel the world collecting animals to satisfy the Victorian public demands and ends up on a whaling vessel where things go very wrong... not a book for the squeamish!

I just had to share my literary themed hen-do with you all. I‘m getting married in 5 weeks and my wonderful bridesmaids created a unique day full of literature. We had a literary themed quiz, treasure hunt and taste test, followed by an outside production of Little Women. Plus a surprise book gift for all attendees. @EmmaPlum ❤️❤️

#readingwomenmonth historical fiction that is once again on my tbr on my kindle. Based on some real life events and this just sounds really fun.

Jaffy and Tim, friends and rivals growing up in 19th century London, embark on an ill-fated overseas adventure hoping to capture an elusive "dragon" for their employer. It is surprisingly intense. Somewhere along the way it morphs into Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors out on the open water.

This book started out strong but it turned out to be way more boat related than I expected. I was hoping for an adventerous book about the collection of exotic animals, turned out that was not what it is about. Besides that I found the characters to be quite flat and unreal. The ending was lovely though so I am glad I stuck with it. 🌟🌟

Tonight's read is one that has been on my TBR stack for ages. Finaly going to dive in.

I have not been on Litsy much lately as my thesis has taken over my life 😂 But tomorrow the first version goes out the door and then I wait, revise and I am finished! It's so close now guys! Excited and scared!!!

My #firsteverlitsypost was only two weeks ago. It feels like I have been part of this community for months! Thanks all for the warm welcome. This was a #bookhaul in september. I have finished The Song of Achilles and am now reading Robin Hobbs Dragon books. So many books have jumped the queue on my TBR pile 😄 #booktober @RealLifeReading
