Welcome to Litsy!

Books. Friends. Relationships built around a love of books. That‘s what Litsy means to me. I know Litfluence is just a number, but this one jumped out at me. The last almost 3 years have been special because so many of you have become part of my life and my family. I love you all 😘

Also! A dear, dear friend of mine sent me these candles for my birthday (which is in a couple of weeks) and they are beautiful and smell divine. 😻

I love old books, especially when I can justify my purchases as research. Here‘s one of my latest, picked up on a trip to Boston. It‘s full of illustrations of the region that is the setting for the book I‘m currently writing. The binding is so beautiful, even if a little worn. #rarebooks

#riotgrams Someone else‘s books. Here‘s a shelf from the historic house where my brother is getting married tomorrow.

Two ladies who were friends well into their #GoldenYears and shared an enthusiasm for old books #Septembowie

Did some use bookstore browsing today and found this: Bookends: Two Women, One Enduring Friendship. (Not in database.) It's a sequel to Old Books, Rare Friends. Anyone read these? They're about women who worked in the rare book business. Thought it might be a bit like 84, Charing Cross Rd.
Cover is very faint. Resorted to the bathroom for decent light. 😐

#bookhaul 2 All the #Gaiman and a book I've been wanting for awhile... Amazon gift cards are the best!

I just want to welcome my friend, the awesome @rivergirl314 to Litsy! She has been listening to me sing the praises of this community and now that it is open to Android she has come to join us!! 👏🏻🎉

Just curious. What were you favorite books from the 80s and 90s? Authors? Book covers?

Here's my author collaboration choice; a story of an amazing, lifelong friendship between two antiquarian book dealers and scholars. They were the discoverers of Louisa May Alcott's pseudonym, under which she wrote her "sensational" tales. #augustofpages #bookphotochallenge @TheSpinecrackersBookClub #booksaboutbooks
