Welcome to Litsy!

Cute 500 piece puzzle 🍰🧁🥧🍧 while listening to the tagged book. It‘s a long listen, but really good so far. After reading Knife, my first Rushdie, I wanted this to be my second. The Satanic Versus will likely be my third.

This varied collection of essays is a great mix.I enjoyed reading Rushdie's insight into literature, writing and creativity so much. I wasn't so keen on the individual author appraisals, but that was more mood than dislike of content. I will go back and finish those at a later date.

#20in4 roundup

* SQPR - 4 chapters
* Can you forgive her? - 11 chapters
* Tagged for #AAM - Almost finished, highly recommend @Soubhiville
* 2 graphic novels by Brenna Thummler - 3.5 ⭐️
* 1 poetry collection by Andrew Shaffer - 3.5 ⭐️

Safe to say, I'm well over 20 hours reading and a super relaxing weekend. Thanks for hosting @Andrew65

I have a few unread books by Rushdie on my shelves and for #authoramonth I dutifully pulled one off and bailed after 100 pages. Before trying a second I checked this essay collection out from the library to ensure I would finish something. Covering literature and art but also featuring pieces on his friendship with Carrie Fisher and Covid I enjoyed this deeper glimpse into the undeniably brilliant mind of an author whose books aren‘t all for me.

Current audio combined with the actual book. #authoramonth #salmanrushdie

The remainder of my #14books14weeks pile alongside my library holds should keep me busy through August's #Rushathon
I also have the tagged for my Salman Rushdie #AuthorAMonth selection.

Started reading this book to get a jump on August‘s #AuthorAMonth and stumbled upon this line. For Pete‘s sake. I can‘t get away from #Clarissa even when I try. 😖
