Welcome to Litsy!

“Put something down.
Put something down some day.
Put something down some day in.
Put something down some day in my.
In my hand.
In my hand right.
In my hand writing.
Put something down some day in my hand writing. “

Remembering Gertrude Stein on her birthday.

I decided to throw in a nonfiction read about art. I found this one to be a very good read if you're not a well read art nonfiction reader. Plenty of information. I perhaps loved this read due to the fact I've seen many of these artists works and have visited some of the locations that were inspirational for these people.

I finished The Hidden Palace, a fun read and have started a couple of other books. Hoping to finish Three Lives today and continue slowly working my way through Doctor Thorne, Baba Yaga Laid an Egg, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and as always, Clarissa.

Here‘s my August Reading Report from #Bookly.
My favorite book of the month was The Caretakers, and my least favorite was Gerald‘s Game.

Day 3 of the #20in4 #Readathon went well. I got a lot of reading done today and am now at 155/204 pages toward my goal.
My favorites so far are a short story by Louise Erdrich, also an excerpt from A Train in Winter, a book about the women of the French Resistance sent to Birkenau during WWII, and a photo essay, Un-Possible Retour by Clarisse d‘Arcimoles.
I hope you‘re having fun too @Andrew65 !

The sun has set on day 1 of the #20in4 #readathon.
I read 34/204 pages toward my goal. I need to pick up the pace to get there, but now that the weekend is here I should have more reading time.

My photo is from my outdoor reading session this evening.

📖 It‘s almost time for our next #20in4 #Readathon!

📚 My goal is to read 204 pages, which would
finish the tagged journal, and
start me on another book, either Gerald‘s Game by Stephen King or The Change by Kirsten Miller.

📝 Busy week ahead getting ready to go back to school, so thanks for the push @Andrew65 !

It‘s time for my #JubilantJuly Readathon wrap-up!

My goals:
✅ finish The Ten Thousand Doors of January - 250 pages left
✅ read Less - 261 pages
❌ start Granta 115: The F Word (Feminism), 5 stories and 2 poems - 89 pages
🟰 511/600 pages

🌏 I had fun, and read 2 great books!
Thank you for hosting us again @Andrew65 !

Written for kids, this book is an experience in itself in nonsensical stories.
Reading some out loud is probably fun, but reading the whole book in one sitting led me close to the overdose.
Would be curious about how kids would respond to being read this book... A lot of people say it's actually not for kids, but I don't see why not.
Glad I experienced this book, definitely has to be read out loud.
