Welcome to Litsy!

🎅🏻This tagged book was wonderful!!! Set in Hartford, CT, the city closest to me, and where I lived a few years after my marriage.

🎅🏻 I would say the Three Pines family in Louise Penny‘s
books.

Tagging any littens who want to join in today!

I found this in my TBR pile and don't remember when or where I picked it up, but I am thrilled that I did! This was a riveting read. A memoir of childhood and a true crime story all rolled into one.

When Mickey's classmate is murdered in 5th grade, she doesn't understand what happened and the adults in her life do little to explain. Despite the heavy subject matter, the author is entertaining and often humorous.

This is a definite pick for me!

I‘m starting this nonfiction account of a circus fire today. When the Ringling Brothers circus came to town, no one could guess the tragedy that would unfold when 8,000 people would be trapped in a burning circus tent.

O‘Nan spent eleven years researching the Hartford Circus Fire of 1944. As the big top quickly became engulfed in flames, many people perished trying to escape. Most of the victims were women and children. One victim looked surprisingly peaceful, but for a burn on the side of her face. She was killed after being trampled. She became known as Little Miss 1565 after her body was unclaimed. ⤵️

#bathandbook for Friday night! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I haven‘t started this one but I sounds good and what a cover!

I went to the #Wadsworth Museum in #Hartford, #Connecticut last night for the After Hours Event: #EdwardGorey. I was so ecstatic that I forgot to take any pictures. I saw his iconic fur coats and his jewelry, obviously quite a bit of his art, art by others that he collected, played with his #Tarot cards, drank a couple beers, and watched #Dracula. I didn‘t do a #psychic reading because I basically do one on a daily basis. 😂
