Welcome to Litsy!

I think I bought this on a Daily Deal, so I‘d better read it, right? Poignant is one of the descriptions in the blurb. So far I‘d agree.

When I first started reading the Anita Blake series, I was in love and thought nothing could dissuade me from that love! But each book, from Incubus Dreams on, has #ChangedMyMind a little bit more. I'm in too deep to quit reading now, but it feels more like a morbid fascination mixed with a foolish amount of hope, than true book love...

While I never didn't like this one, my time in the Air Force added new context and #changedmymind about it. After experiencing bureaucracy first hand, I was able to appreciate Heller's farce in a new way. Life experience often gives us new perspectives as readers, and allows us to appreciate stories in new ways. I love rereading my favorites to see what new insights I gain. #feistyfebruary

I didn't like this book while I was reading it- lots of fantasy politics and machinations... not really my speed. I found myself rolling my eyes at the first half, & the majority of the main characters are scheming & manipulative. But! After finishing, I kept reliving scenes, and the central characters had this fantastic relationship that continued to captivate me later, just like what happens for books I love. #changedmymind #feistyfeb

Considering the ridiculous amount of Holmes trivia stored away in my Mind Palace it's strange to think that I wrote Sherlock off after hating A Study in Scarlet and hating the arrogant, officious consulting detective. It was only after watching the marvelous Jeremy Brett that I #changedmymind and devoured the rest of the stories. (I still think the shorter stories are far superior) #FeistyFeb

Day 4 #feistyfeb- I read Outlander in high school and hated it, but I gave it a second chance when I started working with a group of ladies who adored the series. Turns out they were right, it's fantastic. #changedmymind #outlander

I #changedmymind about Harold Pinter. His plays were required reading for modern anglophone literature class. Having read criticism of his work, I realized there is no easy way into Pinter so it's best to just crash-land into his work. This play filled me with dread. The drum beat, fricative verbal tennis matches, everything in this play feels like it's counting down to something. But it left me hungry for more Pinter.

#feistyfebruary #changedmymind. When I first started reading Christie's I hated Miss Marple. I had seen some old movie with a very silly comedic Marple. As an adult I ran out of all the others and "had" to read a "Marple " Now I appreciate and love Aunt Jane ??
