Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m not sure how I feel about this https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/specialfeatures/a-new-forsyte-saga-is-comin...

I‘ve watched the Masterpiece series a few times and loved it. This book is a big long read but I really want to tackle it.

Such a heart-wrencher

Because why not? 😊

I ❤️ the old black-and-white Masterpiece version of the tagged book (although this picture of the cast is too early in the series to include the adorable Susan Hampshire as Fleur). #tvadaption #tvadaptation #maylovesclassics #litsyclassicshost

My favorite #saga. #oldcoolbooks

What little animal is made into Turkish Delight? I‘m a bit worried about that part but otherwise the quote is hilarious. This entire book is hilarious. What a treat.

Okay, I‘m diving into this. 900 pages, here I come! #classics

Every time I pick this one up I get intimidated and put it back down 😳

Got this giant book puzzle done yesterday while watching Forsyte Saga.

My current read on the left. The first volume in an epic fantasy series by Janny Wurts (Curse of the Mistwraith) and the first read for 2018. The Forsyte Saga! It‘s 900 pages and I don‘t dare and try to pull it into this year because I don‘t like dragging semi-finished books across the finish line 😜 also my Cocker Spaniel Lola is terrible on photos because she‘s just a black blob.

Always lots of rumors flying around the Forsyte family. #iheardarumor #augustgrrrl #foliofriday #foliofreaks #foliosociety

A #familyaffair saga published in several volumes between 1906 and 1921 that is simply one of the best! A compelling work of fiction that shows how everything was starting to change vis-a-vis marriage, sexuality and gender in the early part of the twentieth century. Unputdownable.

The first #saga that came to mind. These are the family tree endpapers from my vintage #FolioSociety set. #FolioFreaks. #jubilantjuly

This is the great story of the Forsytes. Their story contains wars, money, feuds, marriages and deaths, all centered in one way or another around Soames Forsyte and his (ex) wife Irene. I really did not know at times whose side I was on. No one is either good or bad, everyone is painfully human. Except for the beautiful Irene, whose thoughts we never know although her role is so important to the story and the people surrounding her. #1001books

Rotary book sale take 2 part 3. My small fiction haul! The theme here is #1001books that are slow and long and thus hard to get through library copies of!

This is Balthasar. He's named after the dog in the Forsyte Saga. He likes to sleep while I read. #dogsoflitsy @lemonlime799

I love Fleur from The Forsyte Saga, especially as portrayed by Susan Hampshire. #classiccharacter #octphotochallenge

I have so many favorite classics, and the word "classic" is a loaded term that you or I could define most any way we want. Anyway, I read this multi-volume novel (published between 1906 and 1921) on my teeny-tiny iPhone 4 about four or five years ago and was completely and utterly enthralled.

Not re-reading during the marathon, but this is my favorite dysfunctional family! #24in48 #readathon

A behemoth of a book I'm currently reading, well, more like picked it back up. School is keeping me so busy but I needed a mental and visual break from my computer and device screens. I'm not very far in this book but I am throughly enjoying it. The slower pace is a nice change.

If you love Downton Abbey and you're jonesing for a juicy British saga, this one's for you.
