Welcome to Litsy!

The last two rounds of #LMPBC I've read some happy, lighthearted fiction with the same group. We're continuing on as our own thing because we're enjoying it so much, so I decided I would see if there was interest in a second group!! Basically low-angst, no sex/violence - just some happy fluff along the lines of Wodehouse, Heyer, Nesbit, etc. There are also plenty of other slots open if another type of book tickles your fancy!!

The books I actually brought home from our antique shopping today. Only $7! That cover of S&S is pretty great, love the expressions

13-9 Jul 2022 (audiobook)
Admittedly, these books are blending into each other quite a bit, but in a very enjoyable way. I feel as though I am now quite familiar with Bertie, Jeeves et al and their machinations. And am going to be a little lost when my 60+ hours with them comes to an end. Wodehouse is an author I would have no difficulty recommending via audio - his writing translates perfectly to this medium.

A very unorganized shelfie

Oh, Plum: how you could turn a phrase!!

#bookspinbingo just in the nick of time 😅 I enjoyed this more than Thank you, Jeeves, some good one liners!

"There are moments Jeeves, when one asks oneself, 'Do trousers matter?'"
"The mood will pass sir."

#bookstagram #jeeves #sunday #wodehouse

The Code of the Woosters is “never let a pal down” and somehow Bertie always gets dragged into his friends problems. Thankfully Jeeves is there to fix things when it all goes wrong.

My July #bookspin book and another spot for #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

My #bookspin and #doublespin books for July! I‘m still getting my bingo card together 😊

@TheAromaofBooks

We enjoyed our Saturday with a 5 mile walk, some lunch and a stop at a newly re-opened used bookstore. Then I came home to the tagged in the mail 😁 #bookhaul

1. At this point, my husband & I are both working “essential“ jobs (technically, although they both feel like a stretch 🙄), and we are homebodies under normal circumstances so... basically the same because my life hasn't actually changed hardly at all lol
2. P.G. Wodehouse for the win!! Also love revisiting old favorites, and sometimes binge-read terrible Pride & Prejudice variations on Kindle Unlimited haha

Thanks for the tag @wanderinglynn!!!

1. Wodehouse is so funny & also so clever. The tagged one is an absolute must-read for literally everyone. Also love to reread old favorites - like visiting an old friend.
2. I don't know why, but the Oceans movies (Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen) have become my comfort movies!
3. I tend to go old school. Dick Van Dyke Show, Sanford & Son, Hogan's Heroes, etc. Also have a huge soft spot for Psych.
4. Writing, ⬇

A cozy read featuring the one-and-only Jeeves! 🤩

*There were a couple of misogynistic remarks, but then again, the book is from 1938 🤷‍♀️

Shelter-in-place = Read-from-shelf! 😬

Well, @Lizpixie it has taken me a while to create my entry for your lovely #LizPixies3x3Giveaway because I have had trouble narrowing down to three genres, much less three books! ? But here are three I love. I read a lot of what I call practical nonfiction - love learning how to actually do/make things. Wodehouse is basically his own genre, something like "overbearing aunt humor." And I do love romance that doesn't take itself too seriously. ⬇️

#friyayintro @howjessreads

1. Wodehouse is my go-to if I'm feeling down.
2. Gorgeous weather for bonding time with my mom and sisters!
3. Tough call. Probably Italian because pasta!!
4. Only two first cousins, but plenty of siblings! :-D
5. I don't really know anyone here yet, but I'm interested to see what everyone else has to say.

What can I say? This is utter froth and foolishness from start to finish and, as such, was the perfect pick-me-up.

Some have noted that Bertie is misogynistic. He does indeed make disparaging remarks about the women in the book but then he makes disparaging remarks about pretty much everyone: the one person to bask in his unalloyed approval is Jeeves.

I knew I wouldn't get anywhere near 24 hours, so I'm content with this. I'm glad to have found The Code of the Woosters on Overdrive, for some much-needed silliness.

@TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 I look forward to joining you again next time. 😊

This is a “throwback” read and I still laugh at it. P.G. Wodehouse‘s Jeeves and Wooster series makes great reading. Think Jerome K Jerome, Nick and Nora Charles, or Stella Gibbons. Blackmail and love are at the heart of this one and Bertie is stuck in the middle. Thank goodness for Jeeves! https://cannonballread.com/2018/09/good-old-blackmail-you-just-cant-beat-it/http...

Bertie Wooster is a bit of a #StupidMan (but I still love him so!)

#FolioSociety

Lots of Hindi words sprinkled in this book

Wodehouse is awfully misogynistic is what I‘m realizing. The entire book (up until now at least) has observations like these where women are portrayed as evil or dumb.

Always a great idea to listen to some Bertie and Jeeves!

The perfect antidote to a string of murder mysteries. Love listening to Wodehouse.

The first bit of my Winnipeg/road trip book haul. P.G. Wodehouse!

#FolioSociety
#FolioFreaks

One of my favorite Wooster/Jeeves book!

Day 6: Sir Terry Pratchett and dear old Wodehouse, always. #happyreads #marchintoreading

Yassssss! Bertie is my spirit animal and Jeeves is the voice of reason in my head.🙈 #nopants #jeeves #dailydoseofhumor #comedy #pgw #wooster

I've read the translation of this book. I didn't have any idea about this book it was just a random pick when I went to buy few other books last month. The summary was interesting which actually influenced me to get the book. Last Friday I decided to give it a try n trust me I finished this book by the end of the day. Twist after twist after twist made this book hard not to finish. Loved it. 4.5/5
