Welcome to Litsy!

Twenty-five scary stays where ghosts check in, but don‘t check out.

This was interesting. Historical backgrounds and paranormal accounts of different hotels around the world.

A lovely roundup of several lesser known figures from American history set alongside a few names you‘ll recognize. It could get a tad confusing as to who was being highlighted at times - there were some meandering tangents to follow - but good to remember those who helped settle, educate, and work to improve our country. It‘s a light read, with lots of personal asides from the author. Almost feels like YA nonfiction.

Starting next, with a slice of pumpkin roll. 🎃

Interesting and informative. Lots of fascinating details. I read this slowly over the course of several months, one State at a time. Now I know that the shapes of the States are not nearly as random as they seem!

I took this yesterday after a rain during supper time. Not very often to see a full circle rainbow. From my window. #BeautyBreak

Serhii Plokhy is Professor of History at Harvard University and a leading authority on Eastern Europe. Published in 2021, this gripping book draws on then recently released KGB files to analyse the Cuban Missile Crisis from both the US and Russian perspective, drawing out how badly Kruschev and Kennedy misread and misunderstood each others positions and how nuclear war was averted by fear and accident more than negotiation and decision.

Great collection of Christmas related stories/facts from yesteryear!

from Annie Hall to
Annie Banks‘ mom, we will
miss you Ms. Keaton.

Always loved her, she was a great actress and had such a beautiful smile. She reminds me of my aunt. 💔

I learned much and feel more hopeful about peoples‘ ability & willingness to do good things when needed. I also loved Sharon‘s periodic cheeky commentary. 😉

Just stopped at Barnes & Noble for a browse and these Percival Everett books left with me. What could I do? They needed a home. 🤷🏻‍♀️
