I think I am also “the sort of thirty-nine year old whose daily consumption of cheese and carbohydrates was more likely to be classified medically as a cry for help rather than a diet.” Except I‘m 42 and he forgot to mention the wine.

I haven‘t read much lately 😢, but I have been crocheting more (when my son lets me). I finished this series last night...confession: I liked it way better than the book. Pic from #IMDb.

rubyslippersreads I agree—it was much better than the book. 5y

Guys...I‘ve only read one book in print this month. ONE. While I‘ve listened to several via audiobook on my commute, I‘ve only finished one in print. This has never happened. And I have several really good books going, books I would normally enjoy, but I simply. Can‘t. Focus. Can‘t concentrate. It‘s killing me!!! #RealLifeLitsy #LitsyConfessions

TheBookgeekFrau I'm having the same problem 😕 5y
cathysaid @C.Perone I‘m sorry. It‘s so frustrating! Seems like I‘m lacking oxygen! 5y
TheBookgeekFrau @cathysaid Extremely frustrating! Hopefully, for both of us, things get back to normal soon 🤞🤞 5y

I have a confession to make:

Yesterday at the library, someone “returned” their school lunch milk in our book drop. It was still cold, & the cap was still sealed, & the date hadn‘t passed, & I *needed* milk for my coffee, so... I used it.

Lcsmcat 🤷🏻‍♀️ you needed milk. I get it. 6y
monalyisha @Lcsmcat It seemed like...the universe provideth. 6y

8little_paws Why on earth would they put milk in a book drop is my question. 6y
cobwebmoth This just makes me like you more. 6y
monalyisha @8little_paws People think it‘s a trash receptacle. A very pretty, wooden, strangely-shaped trash receptacle — with a clearly-worded, colorful sign, calling it a “Book Return.” It‘s obviously very confusing. (edited) 6y
xicanti This is the only logical response to free milk. 6y
WhatWouldJaneDo Waste not, want not! 6y
monalyisha @cobwebmoth Thanks! 😂😂😂 6y

monalyisha @lahousewyfe S/he has the strangest ways of communicating! Burning bushes, angelic messengers from on high, abandoned/questionable milk cartons... like, learn to text, God! 😆 6y
lahousewyfe @monalyisha Yes!!!! 😂😂😂 6y
Billypar Lol- I read this too quickly the first time and missed the phrases 'still sealed' and 'still cold' 😆 6y
monalyisha @Billypar It was an educated risk. 🙈 6y
Johanna414 I‘ve definitely done that before... although in my defense, it‘s just my kids who have homeroom in the library so I know the milk/juice or whatever just came from the school cafeteria so it‘s not much of a risk 6y

I enjoyed this story of a young Latin teacher who rides her bicycle into Sussex to begin her new position, before the outbreak of World War I. Hailed as a book for lovers of Downton Abbey, I confess my agreement. #musicalnewyear #summernights

SamanthaMarie OOOO! Added this to my TBR. Sounds so good. 6y
Cinfhen I really love this cover🤩 6y
DivineDiana @SamanthaMarie It is a perfect Summer read! 6y

I'm just crazy, aren't I? #alltheeyerolls #litsyconfessions

SilversReviews I have only had one narrator in mine so far, but that would get a bit confusing with more than one. (edited) 6y
Zelma I don‘t care for it nor do I like music or sound effects. As a result, I only listen to non-fiction on audio, as I don‘t like a performative aspect to it. 6y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Confession!! I‘ve never listened to one!! 🤣🤣 6y

DGRachel It really depends on the book. Some books with multiple narrators are enjoyable, but most drive me batty. 6y
JamieArc It sounds like you aren‘t crazy, though I do like multiple narrators, and the music at the very start always sets the tone for me. I have always loved radio theater though. 6y
Bookzombie There have been books that I liked with multiple narrators. However, my preference would be one narrator who does a bunch of voices really well. 6y

😳 @Caroline2 I‘m so sorry! I‘ve not had much time to read this week - lots of boring stuff has got in the way. I‘m only on chapter 5 😱

However I‘ve got some time this morning so will try and catch up. How are you getting on?

Caroline2 No worries! 😉 I had some time to read this morning so I‘m on chapter 17 now! It‘s starting get a bit interesting now, must admit I was finding it quite slow going in the beginning!! 6y
Bookworm-Bobbie @Caroline2 yeah it was, I swear there was three pages to describe snow and then when Fitz went off on an ‘errand‘ there was only a paragraph! It‘s getting good now through! 😁👍 6y
Caroline2 Yeah, it such a great writing style and I love the characters but I just wish there was a bit more plot! It‘s starting get more interesting!! 6y

@maich #MarchInBooks day 1 - currently reading

I completely forgot to post yesterday because of all the snow. These are my current reads, that I‘m slowly working my way through.

Also #Litsyconfessions I wanted to take a pic in the snow, but didn‘t want to ruin my books so wrapped the bottom one in clingfilm - genius 😂😂

So it may be sacrilege to post this on a reading site 😳 but I am almost finished with the last of the first seasons episodes and have to say I am loving the Tv show better than I liked the book. The book was good but the TV show is really excellent. #litsyconfessions #thisusuallydoesnthappen #needseasontwonow

MicrobeMom I agree! The show is haunting. I often could not sleep after watching episodes. Still love the book but an excellent show. 7y
T.ballin I completely agree!! The TV show was amazing!! It gave the characters so much more depth. 7y
