Welcome to Litsy!

#IllRemember #MOvember
Just read the Orwell essay 'Such, Such Were the Joys' about the horrors of attending an English boarding school before the first World War. The living conditions were deplorable, but he also talks about the importance of remembering how children see the world to put the psychological impact of the authority his teachers wielded, and other aspects of the class divide into context.

Have been a little stumped on these lately, including today's. And meanwhile, I'm in an audiobook desert where I'm weeks away from my next audio hold. Listening to the last @ReadingEnvy episode solved both problems when @Bianca reminded me I've waited far too long to read a book about one of my favorite bands of all-time. And somehow it was available wait-free on Overdrive- which never happens! @Lizpixie @Cinfhen

There‘s a lot of #sympathy and a pursuit of justice in this #nordicnoir about a woman found dead in a lake in Sweden. She had been raped and strangled, and her identity is unknown.

This one sounds like a wild ride and I need to read it this month for #pop18

Im only 60 pages into my 23rd in the challenge and already am sympathising with Anne Catherick the woman in white who having escaped an asylum scares walter on a moonlit Road - later with goggle eyes mooning over Laura he notices her resemblance to anne ' de de der '
Was a bit shocked by 'The lady is ugly' when he 1st meets miss Halcombe.
If i finish this chunkster i shd finish the challenge 😀

DAY 30: Missy is not the type of person that wants #sympathy. She‘s much stronger than most. But the fact is 21 years ago tomorrow, she became paralyzed from the chest down after a classmate shot several students at our rural Kentucky high school. We were sophomores. Three girls died that day, 5 others injured. Tagging her first book in comments. 👇🏻

This book taught me so much about women who are suffering and fighting for acceptance in many parts of the world. I felt a tremendous amount of #sympathy for these women, and I was so happy that the book detailed methods to help. #nofemmeber #nonfiction

Thank you dear fellow #phillycrew members for hosting!

These books provoked #sympathy and anger in equal measures. And are unforgettable. There are women making unbearable decisions behind all- I think of the mothers... and grandmothers. FYI one of my all time favorite songs is I Am Woman - Helen Reddy. #nofemmeber

For the young ballerinas depicted in Degas‘ works, real life is anything but colorful and happy. This historical fiction looks at Marie van Goethem, who modeled for Degas. I felt much #sympathy for her and her sisters, as they struggled to get out of poverty. #NoFemmeber

By the way, the author is amazing! She Skyped with my historical fiction group, a truly wonderful experience.

Thanks @Cinfhen and @Billypar for a fun month!

I didn‘t think it was possible to feel #sympathy with the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. But then I read this retelling changed my mind about her, and made her more relatable 👏

Thanks for a great month @Billypar and @Cinfhen 👌 #NoFemmeber

I've read the book. I've seen the film.

I have no #sympathy for Briony. Not a tiny bit.
