Welcome to Litsy!

This is a famous photograph of Princess Margaret taken by her husband Tony Armstrong-Jones, a professional photographer. Her love shines through her eyes. Also her boldness, bohemian nature and sense of humor. This biography combined interviews, parodies,dreams,lists,catalogs,diaries and essays. Glamorous,beautiful but never found her way in this world.Sad. Helena Bonham-Carter was excellent in “The Crown” as Margaret.#booked2022 #aboutarealroyal

New audiobook!

Visited an adorable independent bookstore today! I found two books that I heard recommended on podcasts lately!

Spending my weekend with royalty 👑 🐝

I was not sure what to expect going into this book, but it was not what I got. I knew, generally, about her life going in. In stories and article and some quotes, I learned more. I also got tricked by a few of the fake sections (it talked about someone who wanted to marry her and then there was a fake press article about their married life).

This one has been on my TBR for way too long! Maybe this month I will finally get my hands on it. #royalty #LiteraryLuck

And because I can‘t go to bed before making sure I like my next book...

Reading with the hubby tonight! He's reading a real book, not listening to an audiobook!

I'm using my book bean because baby does not like it when I rest a book on my belly! 💙

After watching The Crown I have become obsessed with Princess Margaret. Starting this Christmas gift from my mom.

This book had me through the first third or so. The short chapters in a variety of styles, including what-if (what if Margaret had become queen instead of Elizabeth?), worked well. However, the second half was not very good, and it became increasingly difficult not to see each chapter as an anecdote lifted from someone else‘s diary, memoir, or letter. I think 49 glimpses would have been more than enough. ⭐️⭐️-1/2

Fun and gossipy book about the royal family.

I'm not particularly keen on reading about royalty, but I'd heard so much about this that I wanted to give it a go. She really was quite the, er, character.

Celebrating #nationalbookloversday introvert style. Took a solo trip to the bookstore and having dinner with my books :)
