Welcome to Litsy!

I did not realise this was a series- can totally go in blind though and easily “catch up“. I was intrigued by the cover at the Lib & this is a case where maybe I could've been more discerning. I didn't really feel like the characters made life like choices, particularly Rarity. I also felt the attention to her dog was odd, out of place. Plus the narration annoyed me haha

My copy of Little Women was the last birthday gift from my sister who passed away 8 months later.

It‘s old and fragile. Printed in Glasgow with the original owners name and address inside. 🩷

“But when the Elder appeared on the gallery he began by making straight for the common folk. The crowd was pressed against the small porchway with three steps that connected the low gallery with the field. The Elder stood on the topmost step, put on his epitrachilion1 and began to bless the women who were crowding towards him.”

I surprised myself with a stop at the thrift store today and found a few well-loved copies of old Hitchcock story collections, plus a Grady Hendrix, a copy of Wolf Hall, and a novel by Argueta which will fit nicely for El Salvador in the #readingtheamericas challenge.
I‘m pretty pleased with myself- now to find space for them on the crammed shelves.

We ( me & my granddaughter Sofia) have been reading the tagged book ... so will continue with that 👍💕

Also , listening to Love Songs on my walk , but I‘m thinking of getting the print copy as I imagine it would be a lovely read.

Happy reading friends out there 😘

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I expected this to be pure brain candy, and it often is, but damn, it‘s juicier than a 2000s Playmate in a velour track suit! True to “reality” tv, things are not always how they appear. The girlfriend politics were particularly fascinating. What a bizarre life choice! Holly does not sugarcoat, but of course, this is all through her eyes. Take it as you will. An entertaining memoir for those who vegged on Girls Next Door like I did.

Laughed so loud on the chapter titled Awkwarding / Jenny reads awkward moments people shared with her via Twitter #Priceless sharing a few: “Ate a cookie on display at Anthropologie. Halfway through, I realized it was a decorative soap.” “Nanny job interview, told job would involve light housekeeping. Replied: I‘ve never kept a lighthouse before but willing to try.” “I pulled out a panty liner instead of a $5 bill to pay for my lunch.”

Magic indeed. 🔮✨💕 #booksaremagic #priceless
