Welcome to Litsy!

Starting in 1982, Simon Winchester traveled to the remaining parts of the UK outside the British Isles, from Tristan da Cunha to #Bermuda to the Falkland Islands (arriving there at a very interesting time). Aspects of this book are super interesting, but the book is ultimately flawed by relying so heavily on the British viewpoint and ignoring that of the locals.

A romantic suspense set in #Bermuda (read for #ReadingTheAmericas2023). A woman is on her way to Bermuda to investigate her brother‘s death, when the plane crashes & she is the only survivor. She is mistaken for another passenger and uses this identity to carry out her investigation. A bit light on the investigation & too heavy on romance side for me. A soft pick. Available free to download if you are a member of Audible.

A super short ebook available for free on Kindle Unlimited, it quickly describes the Triangle, the mysteries that have occurred there, the various theories, and the scientific explanations. It includes photos and illustrations. This book is meant for elementary level students but I really liked reading the very short simple explanations.

Hahahaha! Yes this jives with my memories of the terror of the Bermuda Triangle growing up in the 70s. This is hilarious reading it now. I truly thought it was one of those real-life terrors we‘d all have to face one day. We poor kids were so brainwashed about the Triangle!!

Growing up in the 1970s, I thought dealing with the Bermuda Triangle was going to be one of those big adult things I‘d have to deal with since it was always in the news. Of course, not. But I still find it interesting. This is my next ebook. #Bermuda #readingtheAmericas @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

A mixed reading experience. I‘m impressed by Fox‘s writing style, poetic and dreamy yet informative. However, the format didn‘t always agree with me. Its nonlinear, fragmentary organization made me lose the thread sometimes, especially since I wasn‘t binge reading it. Still, a fascinating, if niche, topic written about beautifully with accompanying illustrations, including Else Bostelmann‘s wonderful paintings.

For #ReadingTheAmericas2023 I selected this title for Bermuda. I can see why back in the day this was considered a creepy yet page-turning read. For me it was a 🌟🌟🌟 1/2 read. Very atmospheric. @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

Another #ReadingAmericas23 audio that I flew through 🥰I thought this would be a mindless listen ( and it was😉) but it was so entertaining and a great escape. Two moneyed Greenwich families fly to #Bermuda for their daughter‘s destination wedding, where of course family secrets explode. Would work for #52BookClub23 #secrets #contemporarysetting #Scribd

Another one for #ReadingTheAmericas23 #Bermuda #Scribd
