Welcome to Litsy!

[Her father] saves sand from his seaside trips and stores it in the garage....Sometimes he'll give me a starfish in a cellophane bag as a present, but it's always painted some tacky, fluorescent color. In a back room, he has bins of mineral chunks and shells, in the sort of box used for screws in hardware stores. I once picked up a can full of white pumice stone chips that was labeled 'Moon.'

I create, through writing, everything that takes me to that point...

What I did in lockdown! Some of my #BorderlessBookclub stack.

We're crowdfunding for the next stage of the bookclub (attendance remains free - new members welcome)

Online discussions with the book's translator, followed by small group reader discussions. Discounts on the books, too. If you've ever wondered about the #translation process, or want to read more fiction from outside the US/UK....

This week‘s #BookReport. Yay, I read things!! Maybe not what I‘d planned, but...

I finished Minor Detail, for #BorderlessBookClub, but was Zoomed-out so didn‘t actually go. I‘m rubbish at bookclubs! I‘ll review it eventually. A book of two halfs by a Palestinian author - quite hard-hitting, but don‘t bail in the first half.

The Accusation is another tough read about lack of freedom. Short stories from North Korea. Continued with this one.

Up next for #BorderlessBookClub

Why is the cover I haven't got always the one I want?

The original version.

#BorderlessBookclub

I am once again amazed at how much my fellow bookclub members get from the book. Fascinating discussion.

Less of a #weeklyforecast, more of an action plan this week. Time to step up on the challenge-front, and try and complete a few prompts. These are all in my ‘so big it‘s on the verge of toppling over‘ currently reading heap.

#Booked2020 - I think I could actually finish this year, which is amazing as I only started in season 2.
#BorderlessBookclub is on Thursday, and is one of those new things I hope sticks in the new normal. 👇🏻
