Welcome to Litsy!

I had an appointment this morning and spent most of the afternoon working on a puzzle, so I‘m a little late to #two4tuesday

1. No, but I realized that I need to revamp my wishlist.
2. Maybe? I ordered a book for my brother-in-law but haven‘t heard from the bookstore. I‘d rather get it from them than from the big company.

Not my type. Going nowhere kind of book.

I find that for quite a few years now I can't listen to a lot of Lennon's songs. This is one of them. There's an underlined dark tone to some of them that makes me so uncomfortable as a woman. YMMV
Desires, jealousy often go hand in hand so I chose this really popular book that I didn't really enjoyed in its original French language. #marchintothe70s @Cinfhen @Lizpixie

1. The Trouble with Goats and Sheep - Joanna Cannon, The Cabin at the End of the World - Paul Tremblay, Locke & Key box set - Joe Hill
2. Pens, coffee mugs, literary t-shirts that I can wear to work
3. Oct 5
4. Horror, historical mysteries/thrillers, history/biographies, true crime. It depends on the mood I‘m in 🙃

Oh, Audible, you‘re so naïve. As if I could purchase my Wish List for $300.

Hi! I want to share this awesome wish list with you :) all the books I don't own and would love too. Plus the funko pops I am looking for.

There are 76 books on my Goodreads #wishlist.

There are a lot of items on that mental #wishlist I've been compiling for years. Some things I'll never get, like a fully functioning time turner, but I'm still allowed to dream of getting one, right?

1. The Book of Dust by Philip Pullman
2. The Dog Stars by Peter Heller

I'm just going to leave this here for any book swap matches who may be Litsy stalking, lol. 😆😆😆 I have a wish list shelf on Goodreads that I tend to keep updated.

Still reading in French. I'm reading past bestsellers that were very popular with the patrons at my library. I bought at least 10 copies of Delacourt's novel back in 2013. I read in the original version if possible of a book. That's my preference. Translated english books in French are usually pretty awful. Delacourt's book didn't live up the hype. I found it boring. Short and boring. Onward to the next one.#readinginfrench

A little pre-bed wishlist making; it is better than circling the toys I wanted in the Toys R Us catalog as a kid!....Goodnight Littens! Sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you! 😴

I ❤️ the idea by @julesG and I have cleaned up my TBR list (at least the first 100 books or so!) to include only books I don't own. My Amazon wish list is another good place to check. But feel free to surprise me too!! #summersantagoespostal Background photo from our beautiful backyard at the lake. Was a lovely surprise when we got there this weekend.

Dear #SummerSantaGoesPostal stalker, I will spend some time today, to update my Goodreads lists, so you can see, which books on my TBR I already own. 😉

What would you do if you won the lottery? A short read with a big impact!

Here's wishing for lots of bookish goodies for Littens celebrating Christmas! 🎄🎁📚

What would you do if you won the lottery? A 47-yr old housewife/business owner suddenly finds she wins the jackpot lottery of 18 million euros; but before cashing it, she tells no one and begins to evaluate her life. Does she wants her life to change? A well written novella that makes you think about dreams and fears; happiness and lies. Melancholy and easy to relate to, I came away with mixed emotions.

'I‘d like to have the chance to decide what my life will be like, I think that‘s the best present anyone can get. The chance to decide what your life will be like.' My Sunday brunch companion.

This was an odd, short read. It was not what I expected from the blurb, however I did really enjoy it. The stream of consciousness style writing worked really well here. And despite it not being a literary read, it had some powerful things to say about contentment, joy, wealth, and love.

"...our needs are our little daily dreams. The little things to be done that project us into tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the future. Trivial things that we plan to buy next week, allowing us to think that next week we'll still be alive."

After three books in a row that somehow involved parents losing a child, it was time for a lighter read... Excited to dig into these library grabs from today :)

I really enjoyed this book. It would make for a great beach read. It's small but surprisingly had me talking about it at length with my husband. I think it would make for a great book club discussion.

"Being rich means seeing all that's ugly and having the arrogance to think you can change things. All you have to do is pay for it." This little boom is surprising me with little gems of wisdom that never occurred to me when I daydream about winning the lottery,

I need something light after reading, "When the Emperor was Divine".
