Welcome to Litsy!

This month‘s #page1 box is totally going to come in handy for #authoramonth later this year!

Now if only the snack they included was vegan...

#Page1 books subscription sent this to me. Otherwise I would never have read it or likely have heard of Claire Tomalin, a notable biographer and literary critic. Here she shares a memoir of her own life filled with an amazing array of literary figures and personal tragedies. More interesting to me is how the social structures of 20th century Britain and Europe allowed her to flourish. Her “ordinary” life would be unlikely for any Millennial now.📚

"Jane woke up and whispered, 'Julie?'" #Page1 This month's BOTM pick!

"Men's bodies brushed mine, hips and hands and God only knows what, lingering on my shoulder and everywhere below. My nerves frayed, and I stumbled. With anything less at stake, I would have fled Joe Mulligan's as if it were on fire. But I needed the money. The money would save me." #page1 #preview
