Welcome to Litsy!

This book has so many fascinating titbits! I feel like like I want to incorporate elements of these ‘surplus women‘s‘ stories into characters in SO many stories...
Maybe some #ValentinesDay #flashfiction is in order??

Where are all the #singleladies for your boy Mike? He needs to get over his ex but is letting his obsessive stalker tendencies get the best of him 😳 this book is nutty, but I'm into it!
Glad I have my boyfriend Khufu with me while I read 😻

#Aprella #CruelWorld #SingleLadies After my catch up trifecta of ?prompts, I'm just combining 2 today. (Busy week!)?Bridget Jones is the ultimate single lady in book & movie & she knew what a cruel world it was for a singleton to be surrounded by so many smug married couples. Luckily she had some great single 'ladies' as friends since it took a while for Mark Darcy to put a? on it even if he did say he liked her, "very much, just as you are."?

Been thinking what to do all day- then this jumped out at me 😁

No one quite writes about the #SingleLadies like Barbara Pym. Thank you to @BarbaraBB , whose post about Excellent Women reminded me that I need to move these other novels up my TBR!

Trying to think of a book for #singleladies and looked at some books from the past weekend‘s church sale still in my car. There it was! Vow of celibacy.🙏🏻 @Librarybelle Found a substitute! #aprella

Some #singleladies get stuff done.I admire Jane Addams in her efforts to improve the life of immigrants in Chicago.With a particular focus on education and recreation for women and girls.She founded Hull house , and while giving people skills they need to make it in The U.S. ,she held ethnic nights where people could gather to showcase dance and stories from their native countries.If you visit Chicago, there‘s a museum on S. Halsted. #aprella

“Don‘t ever get yourself stuck like this.” Advice from Nora‘s mother to her daughter about marriage. The protagonist is an angry frustrated single lady. Felt mixed about this book, it did lead to an interesting convo about likeability of characters vs enjoying a book and the difft standards for female characters. #aprella #singleladies (photo credit nyt book review).
