Welcome to Litsy!

All the descriptions of the women were so sexist and the author went out of his way to describe women in that way too much and too often. Bailed after 2 chapters. Would not recommend. Too bad as the premise was interesting and it‘s rare to find a book with literary aspirations written in the first person.

I think I‘ve had this book for twenty years and finally read it. I don‘t always think the book is better than the movie, but this story needs text to be fully realized. If it seems like the characters are explaining too much it‘s probably because the author wants to familiarize his readers with the books he mentions, mostly The Three Musketeers which I haven‘t read. I love books about books and meta fiction. I loved the puzzle in this mystery 👇

#Recommended by a friend. Starts off fast so pay attention! LOL #EstherAssisting

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely loved this audiobook. It was right up my alley. Detective work mixed with the occult, travel, sex, discussion of other classic literature and so much more. Shout out to @TheAromaofBooks for the #bookspin challenge.

When in Missouri, you visit a tavern with books!

Work colleagues have gone home. Finally some time to enjoy Seattle today. Starting with bookish breakfast.

“A cross between Umberto Eco and Anne Rice”. SOLD!

Found a nice little indie bookshop near Pike Place Market. I wish I had more time to browse but they were closing.

I finished this book a couple of weeks ago and I‘m still digesting it. It was fantastic. There is an old movie loosely based on this book: “The Ninth Gate” with Johnny Depp, and it‘s not nearly as good as the book. Now I want to get my hands on a Spanish copy since the author is from Spain.

Took a walk to my local Little Library to drop off a copy of The Woman In The Window by AJ Finn, and I was able to pick up The Club Dumas! Bookish fortune is in my favor today, it seems 🤗

Just finished this book - I couldn't put it down. Mystery, feuilleton and unexpected villain(s?). #mystery #spanishreads

When I started the book I did not realize that the movie “The Ninth Gate” was based of the book. The book is good I liked the literary detective work that was done in story. I like the movie but the book is better and more interesting.

Haul1 from the scrapyard bookshed, they're all in pretty good condition, My Brilliant Career & The Club Dumas look like they've never been read! All for $1 each. #ThriftstoreBookHaul

It is an easy to read mystery story centered around The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas (which I haven't read yet). A hand written chapter of this book sets in motion a lot of action mixed with occult aspects and satan worshipping. I read it almost in one go, wanted the mystery to be solved. So that is good.
Now I know I am a bit disappointed and guess that I won't remember this book for long. #1001books

Loved this quote to set up this chapter 🖤

Skulduggery surrounds the rare handwritten chapter of The Three Musketeers held by rare book man Corso - and it closely resembles some of the action therein. Corso is also investigating the remaining three copies of the Book of the Nine Doors of the Kingdom of Shadows, a purported manual for summoning the devil. Of course, it's possible that the devil may be far closer than he thinks. #currently reading

Really super meh.

My pick for character who is better in the movie is Corso, from The Club Dumas. The first hour of this movie is genius! It kind of falls apart after that, but Johnny Depp was amazing as Corso #octphotochallenge

Loved The Club Dumas by Arturo Pérez-Reverte
