Welcome to Litsy!

Seven challenges down for 2017, four to go! #litsyreadingchallenge #litsyatoz #locationedition #mmdchallenge #ispy #aroundtheworld

Help! I'm on my last letter for this challenge. I read Kubla Khan, a poem set in Xanadu, but I'm not sure if I can count it. I've found one or two other obscure books with an "x" setting, but I'm not willing to pay $10 for a book I'm not really interested in. Any ideas of books set in a place (real or fiction) beginning with X?

My timing in reading The Handmaid's Tale has nothing to do with buzz of the series and everything to do with my library waitlist. As a result, I'm not sure if I was in the right mindset to really fall into the story as I believe I would have if read at a different moment in life. I need time to process. On another note, #litsyatoz #locationedition is coming along nicely. I'm trying to be very precise. #rforrepublicofgilead

I wasn't a fan at the beginning, but I was soon carried away. I'm still not sure how exactly I feel about it which I take as a good sign because it's sticking with me, not discarded after the last page like many books I read. Lemme tell ya, as dirty and fickle as the restaurant world can be, I sure miss it. An uncomfortable nostalgia, I suppose. #mmdchallenge #litsyatoz #locationedition #nyc

It was a joy to read one of my favorite books from childhood as an adult and a mother. I found myself identifying with Marilla quite often. I wonder how my younger self would have felt about that... #mmdchallenge #litsyatoz #locationedition #greengables

"There is nothing, for good or for evil, of which a person is incapable." I knew nothing of this book when I picked it up (that's how I like it) and was carried away. I was surprised that a Burmese love story was written by a German man. I love when generalizations blow up in my face. #litsyatozchallenge #locationedition #mmdchallenge
