Welcome to Litsy!

I finished my final book of 2021 right before the stroke of midnight! A perfect book for the end of year -Angela Gillespie writes an annual Christmas letter but this year decides to write the brutal truth instead of the happy, glossy version - perfect story right? Happy endings for all and a nice way to end another challenging, pandemic-filled year.

Angela Gillespie writes her annual end-of-the-year letter but this time pens the truth. Said to be in the way of Maeve Binchy, I think this is what I‘m looking for right now. 🤞

December was great with 44 read books, 5 of them audio books. Finished all challenges I attented.

It was a great reading year and I hope the next one will be just as great!

A beautifully christmas-y story set in maybe for an European rather un-christmas-y Australia. But since the story spreads from one Christmas to another it still counts as a Christmas book for me. And one worth reading. I at least enjoyed the time spent with the Gillespies very much. Which is only because I read it during Christmas season when I can read emotional books without going crazy 😉

A nice story, if a bit predictable. I enjoyed reading it, there were no great surprises or OMG moments but a lovely insight into a large family facing more than the usual challenges that life throws up.

Look what my awesome twin sister just gave me❣️

Sitting here reading, ignoring the fact that my Christmas tree is still decorated and waiting to be dismantled. I like my twinkle lights all year round!

Mostly good family drama about the ups and downs of an Australian family. Could've been edited down at least 100 pages.
