Welcome to Litsy!

Three gothic tales by R.L. Stevenson on Christmas' Eve 😍
The tales are:
-The body snatchers
-Thrawn Janet
-The Merry men

I'm reading the last one and my favourite one until now is the first ❤
Wanna finish it before going to sleep (wake up call early in the morning, I'll have to work 💪)

I think I've read too much about Burke and Hare, the real life Scottish body snatchers who sold corpses to doctors for research, often increasing their corpse supply through murder. I like Stevenson's writing very much, but the story was pretty much what I expected. There was a twist at the end, but the impact wasn't as great as it might have been otherwise.

In March I read 12 books. I discovered Serial Reader which I used for: The Fall of The House of Usher, The Call of Cthulu and The Body Snatchers. My favorites were The Cottingley Secret and Harry Potter 😺

Litsy, I'm back! And I discovered #SerialReader, very nifty! I thought this title would be perfect to en #spooktober 🎃

Here it is, 2016 reading in review. Here's to another great year of reading in 2017

Read this one with the @SerialReader app. A classic short story. I have to keep reminding myself that this is one of the stories that more modern tales are based on, even though I saw the ending coming I enjoyed the read.

Wake up in the middle of the night, what to do? Read, of course! #litsyafterdark

I like being able to say I've read classics and Serial Reader gives me an easy way to read them without getting over whelmed or bored. I think I like the Serial Reader concept more than some of the stories but reading is reading. And it gives me an easy way to read out of my comfort zone. With this story I found it interesting being based on Burke and Hare but didn't hold me as much as I thought it would.

#serialreader This was really meh, I wanted to give it a pan but how could I??? It's Robert Louis Stevenson...so it must be me🎃I'm just not cut out for the classics👿

A chilling short story of medical students driven to horrifying acts in a need for bodies for dissection. Based on the Burke and Hare murders, in which 16 people were killed over ten months in 1828 and their cadavers sold to surgeon Robert Knox (pictured) for his popular anatomy lectures.
