Welcome to Litsy!

After my current audiobook, this one is next up... library loan only lasts for 5 more days so I‘m going as fast as I can!

This is going to be my about #space book for #LitsyBingo

Full disclosure: it‘s on my tbr because of the cover. 😂

Bill Bryson has been on my TBR list for years, so with a prompt for a book about nature for #booked2018 and a travelogue for #litsybingo, perfect time! I loved it, and now I really want to read notes from a small island. I also want to hike and I hate to hike. Haha

Reads like a book length tabloid with a great research department. I polished this off in 2 days. Fascinating look at the 1936 Olympics, the people of Berlin, and the Third Reich. A nice companion to The Boys in the Boat which my book club will be reading later this year. This ticks off #SetinthePlaceYouwereBorn for #LitsyBingo The bear is the mascot of Berlin. He's a little older than I am.

My commute & clean the basement audiobook last week. I found myself talking to the characters & telling them to do or not do this thing or that. It's hard not to compare it to A Man Called Ove, but I loved this book as a separate entity. I took care of #LitsyBingo #MeantToReadIn2017 and #ReadHarderChallenge2018 #FemaleProtagonistOver60 with this book!

Counting the series as my #litsybingo Trilogy
I love love love this series, why did I wait so long to reread!?

You know how, sometimes you feel blah about a book, but then decide, well, it fits some prompts so you try it? Then You listen to it in 2 days because it's so beautiful and sad and you cry about the death of a character that is simply mentioned by other characters, not even really a character, but still so well written that they feel like one, then you have to stop reading so you don't cry at work?
Yeah, that's this book

I finally read this #chunkster! I was surprised and entertained by Jack‘s journey through the territories to find the talisman in hopes of saving his mother‘s life. Wolf is my favorite character. 👹 #MountTBR #LitsyAtoZ #LitsyBingo

I wasn‘t as impressed with this book as I was hoping to be... while I “figured” out who the culprit was roughly 3/4 of the way through I enjoyed the climactic reveal. Woodstock was self absorbed and I couldn‘t like her, but I am interested to see if her character develops in later books (if any will be written). Overall 3 ⭐️ #litsyatoz #Litsybingo #RHC #LITSYBINGO #popsugarchallenge #placeiveneverbeen #griefordeath

I‘m on my second book for the #botmbingeathon - work has been killing me! Taking up all my reading time 😭

I‘m only a few chapters in, but so far so good for this modern day Romeo and Juliet. Jamey seems like the stereotypical 80s prep boy and Elise seems to be causing his neurons to miss fire in all the ways young love does. Can‘t wait to see what happens to these two! #litsyatoz #rhc #litsybingo #readingwomenchallenge

I tend to grab this book when I‘m in a slump. It has random categories, including but not limited to: join the circus, hope, clean your plate, hit a home run, chills, revenge, mama, revel in art... great for #LRC #readingwomenchallenge #litsybingo #readharder etc etc

My copy is from 2008, so it has a lot of “older classics”... I flipped through it tonight and marked up all the books I‘ve read, and “decorated” (with scribbles) over my favorites.
