Welcome to Litsy!

#StorySettings #Office 5 young women who want to live & work in New York working in a publishing house typing pool. Published in 1958 , filled with office politics & sexist men doing what they do in such a setting. One young woman has set her standards high, she wants to become an editor. A novel I really enjoyed when I read it awhile back. Made me think of The TV series Mad Men at times.

#StorySettings #Skyscraper one of my favorite books of New York City photos. It was a WPA project, many of the structures photographed no longer exist.

A truly fascinating account of Chinese-American history as traced through the writer‘s family, through five generations, many who lived in a building in NYC‘s Mott Street. I was in awe with the amount of research that Ava Chin dug up about. She manages to track down their Chinese Exclusion files on both sides of her family. “They call it exclusion…but it is not exclusion, it is extermination.”

I'm going for a long weekend to NYC soon and would like to visit a bookstore. As many times as I have been to NYC, I've only been to the Strand, so I welcome some input. What are your favorite NYC bookstores?

Honestly, what were the freaking odds of finding this book.

It has no reviews on Litsy. It isn‘t mentioned in any of the other “also by this author.”

But there it was on a to be shelved used books trolley.

I‘m so excited. Talk about beshert!

I really liked this one. I thought it was a really fun time. It's just super chatoic the whole time. I liked the game ascpet and the action just kept coming. This isn't like a hard-hitting crazy thriller. It's just a fun time. 4/5

I‘ve been waiting excitedly for Spin Day!!!! #bookspin sent me running to my Living Room Bookshelves to find a new title and I decided on Frida‘s Bed, and #doublespin is something from an ongoing series and it‘s been way too many months since I picked up a Miss Marple. Happy reading everyone, thanks @TheAromaofBooks !!!
