I managed to find my first post for a photo challenge hosted by @Cinfhen . (Took some scrolling!) I've been an occasional participant over the years, but appreciate all that you have done Cindy to make Litsy fun and active. You are #amazing! 💕🙌

merelybookish @Cinfhen It was #bittersweetsymphony 😉. Made me realize as much as we feel we've lost people on Litsy, many of us have been hanging around here for a while! 5y
Cinfhen So true!!!! And #BitterSweetSymphony is my FAVORITE song- I should have guessed that would be the first song I used for my challenge 5y
Cinfhen Wow!! Just scrolled through the 58 posts tagged #BitterSweetSymphony 🥰so fun seeing so many familiar names in those posts!!! And unfortunately a few who are no longer on Litsy. Thanks for the memories 😘 5y

merelybookish @Blaire @readordierachel @batsy Thanks! It would be ALMOST embarassing to admit how long it took to find...but obviously worth it. 😁 5y

A Little Life: A Novel | Hanya Yanagihara

Considering all the back and forth between falling in love with these characters and letting them rip out your heart over and over again, I'd say this novel qualifies as a #BittersweetSymphony. #LyricalApril

Cinfhen I chose the same novel for the same reasons ❤️ 8y

#LyricalApril #day1 #BittersweetSymphony This book was very bittersweet. Two lonely old people who have lost their spouses make an arrangement to spend their nights together, talking & sleeping, just to not be alone. The way their relationship develops is so sweet, but bitter at the end because of family interference. I so wanted the ending to be different, but real life often ends up this way.

Cinfhen I've heard so many good things about this novel 💕stacked!!! (edited) 8y
LeeRHarry Totally agree, great choice! 8y
Bookberry I loved that book. One of the few where I listened to the audiobook - twice in a short time. Great read by Marc Bramhall. Thinking of reading it again. 8y

David Copperfield | Dickens Charles

I've been finding David Copperfield fascinatingly bittersweet, in that he's a sweet kid who encounters many a bitter experience (as well some humorous ones!). I'm going to keep reading this one in April too along with my #AprilTBR, because aside from being behind on reviews (I have 3 from the past 3 days to do!), I'm behind on my reading challenges - also a bittersweet thing. #BittersweetSymphony #LyricalApril @Cinfhen

Cinfhen I've never read this classic....I should probably change that! But I find that I'm also behind in my other reading challenges 😔😬#booknerdproblems 8y
jmtrivera @Cinfhen It's so hard when I keep getting distracted by other books! But I'm pretty determined to use this one for a challenge! 8y

#BitterSweetSymphony for #LyricalApril @Cinfhen

The ending of this book is equal parts beautiful and brutal. She can't remain a human and stay with Lir, so she becomes the only unicorn to know regret.

Bonus points due to the movie's kick-ass soundtrack.

RowReads1 I've got a HB first edition of this one 🦄. 8y
Cinfhen Movie?!? Kick ass soundtrack!?!?! So in!!! Thanks for the post 💗 8y
freyaheart I love this book 🦄❤ 8y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @CrowCAH Jimmy Webb and the songs are performed by 70s folk rockers America. https://youtu.be/fEIXUNKA9NY 8y
