Welcome to Litsy!

We do not care if it is Thursday: We've been busy and missed #wdncw, and it's our favorite. We also do not care that it is 9:20 am and we're now certain our 9 am meeting is a no-show. We really weren't excited about another meeting anyways. And we can try to catch up on litsy while we wait.

Predictable, easy, light read. A grandmother and granddaughter switch places for a few months. One moves to London and the other moves to the Yorkshire Dales. Fun and light.

Reread this book- perfectly captures the idea of a woman trying to find love in the different phases of life. I found myself laughing out loud and crying because I‘ve truly been there. I love the series of interconnected short stories. A book that I and a lot of women can relate to, from not being taken seriously, to seeking approval, to giving your all to someone who just isn‘t right

I'm shocked that I enjoyed this as much as I did. There were places where I giggled. It was truly funny. The serious parts were written without banter. Touching, charming, a good read. I only chose it for the prompt. I would never have picked it up on my own. Good gravy, I love reading challenges. Seven sins in title ##SPNBOOKBINGO2025 @OutsmartYourShelf

Spotify keeps trying to push the new Geese album on me, but I've been grooving to Olivia Dean recently. At 26, she is definitely a talent to keep an eye on. I love her breezy R&B sound, and she was just announced as an upcoming musical guest on SNL.
