Welcome to Litsy!

Hey @bookandbedandtea I mailed this book to you last week but never posted because I'm bad about that 😂 @Jerdencon The Nature of Disappearing arrived safe and sound as well!! @robinb just keeping you in the loop haha

Thoughts on another round after this one?

A marriage is a private business, even for people who leave behind them such a vast litter of diaries, letters and third-party gossip. What occurs at its centre, what bonds maintain it, are not always visible, or even guessable, to the outsider's greedy eye. The sense that arises from this residue of words is of an abiding love, comprised in equal parts of affection and intellectual stimulation. My inviolable centre, Virginia called Leonard...

Just adding to my wishlist...

I liked Harbinder! I also appreciated diverse characters.

I really love gothic atmosphere, this reminded me of that. I loved the mixture of darkness and common police work. The setting was amazing!

The murderer was a bit too easy to guess beforehand but this was really enjoyable to read.

Needed something different, this had been on my TBR for a long time. I went in not remembering anything about it. I enjoyed the story and the different povs.

A charming, reflective story about a loving middle class family enjoying their annual seaside holiday. Nothing very important happens, but we find ourselves fully immersed in the importance of every moment in daily life, and the restorative power of the sea. Just lovely. This was my #ReadOrDonate selection for September.

Finished this last night in bed. A republished, somewhat old fashioned book. I found it very soothing. Very slow paced, but peaceful, clean writing. Recommended for anyone who needs a book to fall asleep to 😴

The 2nd book about the Cazalet‘s and we jump forward a year as Britain declares war on Germany. Food rations and food cards are the new normal as is bombs being dropped and the Blitz in London, but at the same time life goes on. This book focuses more on three of the kids in their teens trying to find out what to do with their life. And even when you don‘t like them because they‘re so self centered there‘s something oddly familiar about that as

Soft pick for me. I didn't care for the multiple POV's. I give it a soft pick, bc I never expected the culprit of the murder. I consider it a Gothic vibe mystery.

I would do it just to find out what it was like. If you‘re interested in things, it doesn‘t matter too much if you turn out to be any good at them. It‘s doing it that‘s fun.

( talking about acting, but applicable to other hobbies too)
