Welcome to Litsy!

Thank you so much, @SomedayAlmost for the fantastic #SummerSantaGoesPostal package! Dunnett and tea, what could be better! The suspense collection you edited looks great. I don‘t have either of these Dunnetts in hardcover. My paperback copy of King Hereafter is mass market so hard to read and very yellow. So glad to have a beautiful edition. Thanks for hosting @BookishMarginalia Happy summer reading, everybody!

My favorite book by one of my favorite authors. Read it for the third time while in Scotland. Every time I read it, I find something new, but it's always emotionally devastating.

#24in48 Hour 42 challenge: Your Actual Bookends.

I chose my historical fiction shelves for this challenge so King Hereafter is the first book on those shelves and The Song of Achilles is the last. These shelves are organized by time period (somewhat 😆).

I have so many #alltimefavorite (s) . Many of them by Dorothy Dunnett. #backtoreading

"It was fashionable nowadays to speak of Brittany as a primitive place, full of unlettered savages. It's only fault that Sulien could see was that, in common with Wales and Alba and Ireland, it fought too hard for its freedom. In resisting Roman conquest, it had forgone Roman civilization."

My favorite book even though (because) it always makes me cry. #macbeth #scotland #orkney

Speaking of incredible places to read, this is Dunrobin Castle in the Scottish Highlands. I was reprimanded by the guard for taking this but I needed a picture of this spectacular library. I mean, I could do without the animal skin rugs but can you even imagine? I'd never leave. #augustphotochallenge
