St George's Day

I just stumbled across this incredible essay, Damsels Undistressed, from Samantha Shannon. She wrote this while researching for her book, The Priory of the Orange Tree. (Book 1 of The Chaos Series)

The Summer Book | Tove Jansson

#LitSolace #NaturaLitsy

#MidsummerSolace #buddyread 2nd choice is Tove Jansson's 1972 novel.
The non-fiction choice is unavailable in US until late June. So, with that in mind, I will run a relaxed fiction (tagged) and non-fiction (A Wilder Way) #buddyread
for those wishing to participate.
All welcome. Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

@TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @LitsyEvents

Librarybelle Thanks so much! I‘ll keep the nonfiction on my radar. 😁 23h

Librarybelle This does not come out until late June in the US, so I‘ll check with my library in June to see if it‘s on order! 24h
AllDebooks @Librarybelle thanks for letting me know. I could always run an alternative for US. Something like 23h
Librarybelle That‘s easier to get in the US. Completely up to you! 23h
AllDebooks @Librarybelle I'm happy to run a fiction and non-fiction read 📚 😀 23h
Cuilin @AllDebooks @Librarybelle it‘s out in 18 hours on Spotify and Audible. Strange that the audiobook is out before the hardback 🤔 (edited) 23h
AllDebooks @Cuilin yay 😀 23h
AllDebooks *** Please refer to 2nd post re a fiction #buddyread for those who can't access A Wilder Way. 😀📚🌞 23h
Librarybelle @Cuilin That is odd. Maybe because it‘s the UK version that is offered through Spotify and Audible??? 23h
Cuilin @Librarybelle Possibly. Spotify even have a countdown clock lol 23h
CatLass007 Thanks so much for the tag. I‘m going to have to sit this one out. My library doesn‘t have either book and I‘m really trying to get control of my spending. I hope everyone enjoys whichever book they choose!! 22h
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks the summer book is in my TBR if you switch it. 😊 22h
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I'm going to host both. 😀📚 21h
TheBookHippie @Cuilin @librarybelle kindle says April 24 hardback June 😵‍💫😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 21h
Librarybelle @TheBookHippie So bizarre! I have this thing of buying ebooks at a hefty price (I only buy them on discount and am now avoiding Amazon as much as possible). I actually forgot to look at ebooks! 😂 But, this is good to know! 21h
TheBookHippie @Librarybelle I‘m hoping it‘ll come other places and I too am not paying Amazon ten bucks 😂😵‍💫 20h

Happy Easter to all of you celebrating. 🐣

Another Sunday evening approaches, so it's time for our weekly #HyggeHour readathon. Are you joining us for a weekly reset?
8-9 pm your time zone.

My plan is a gin and tonic, blankets, candles, garden fire and kiddos, chitchatting about our week.

@TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

TheBookHippie ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 4d
Chrissyreadit I LOVE gin and tonic - one of my favorites (mojito is the other one) 4d

Working through a backlog of Sunday newspaper supplements, I came across this great article, Is Dickens better than Shakespeare? 🤔

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/mar/02/is-dickens-better-than-shakespeare...

#WhatTheDickens @Cuilin

Cuilin That is such a good read, and there‘s definitely a case to be made. I think Dickens lived in a more free society and could write and be a little bit more on the nose than Shakespeare could during his time. Plus, I think modern readers can recognize/understand a Victorian time period more than an Elizabethan/Jacobean one perhaps 🤔 I would love to see one of those Oxbridge debates on this subject!! (edited) 4d
AllDebooks @Cuilin I don't think they are so comparable, due to the different time periods. I think Dickens characters are more defined between good and villainous. Shakespeare's characters are more nuanced, with both virtues and flaws. I love them both and wouldn't put one over the other. 4d
Ruthiella I definitely prefer Dickens because he‘s more accessible to me. Interesting article, thanks! 4d
Cuilin @AllDebooks True, I like both but for different reasons. 4d

AllDebooks Again, my apologies for missing last week. https://litsy.com/p/cWNXNzY0WDRn 5d
Librarybelle Good morning! It‘s almost 7am on the US East Coast, and I‘ll soon make the trek to the grocery store for weekly groceries, in hopes to beat the crowds. Today marks the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the US Revolutionary War, and I enjoyed reading Heather Cox Richardson‘s remarks about the events leading up to it. They reminded me that ordinary people can do amazing tiny things. I‘m also enjoying the Golden Girls cozy mystery: 5d
TheBookHippie @Librarybelle loved Heathers words today!!! 5d

TheBookHippie Off to protest… ✊🏼 5d
AllDebooks @Librarybelle Her speech was so good. She is an inspiration. 5d
AllDebooks I have been enraged by the Supreme Courts definition of a woman this week. Yet another backwards step and attack on marginalised people. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/16/a-huge-reset-trans-rights-campaign... 5d
AllDebooks The upside is the outpouring of love and support for the trans community. 🏳️‍⚧️ I am a trans ally and will do all I can to support them through this latest sh*tshow. 5d
quietlycuriouskate Oh, you know, the usual (which is not necessarily a bad thing): groceries, housework, setting up my planner for next week, brief local walk. Now I've shut the door behind me and I'm actually going to READ until it's time to get the tea on. 5d
AllDebooks @quietlycuriouskate A bit of routine followed by a reading session. Perfect ☕️📚☕️ 5d
AllDebooks I was completely enamoured with this month's #RiseUpRead ❤️ It's in my top 10 poetry books of all time. Such a beautiful, important book. I'm thrilled to have found this author. 5d

dabbe Thanks for the tag, m'dear! 😍 Phoenix is enjoying UNBELIEVABLE weather this week! We had a big rain last night, and the high today is only supposed to be 75º F (24º C). I actually cried tears of joy. So, we're taking a LONG walk with the pups and currently have the windows open and no AC. We're thinking a lazy day of (you guessed it) reading. Happy Saturday, EVERYONE! 🌈 5d
DebinHawaii Thanks for the tag! I‘m having a slow start to the weekend & am mostly catching up from a busy workweek. I got home from the airport last night after all day meetings & crashed. Woke up late & just made it to the coffee shop, then errands & maybe a nap later. 5d

The best thing about reading is learning new things 🙌

Librarybelle Have a great day! I‘m hoping for a lot of rest—Zeke took another bad turn yesterday, after several good days, so hanging with kitties and rest are on my agenda. 3w

Cuilin Thankfully I‘m feeling so much better as my husband bought me and my daughters tickets to see Snow Patrol in Boston. He‘s our chauffeur so we have a ride to and from MGM Fenway. I‘ll probably spend most of tomorrow sleeping. Lol 3w
Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle sorry Zeke is having a bad day 3w
Deblovestoread @LibraryBelle Sorry to hear Zeke had a bad day. Hope both of you are able to rest. @Cuilin. Love Snow Patrol so much! Enjoy! Glad you are feeling better, too. (edited) 3w

AllDebooks @Cuilin Yay, I'm so glad you're feeling better. Enjoy Snow Patrol 😊 3w
Deblovestoread I‘m getting caffeinated under my heated throw with Pippin in my lap. Once I log off Litsy I‘ll read a bit and then get ready to go to a local Hands Off protest. I‘m a bit nervous as I‘ve always used my voice and protested from the safety of my home but I can‘t ignore this call to action. 3w

Having a relaxing day to recover from the week & gear up for the next one. 3w

ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread Your day sounded so great! Did you end up going to the #HandsOff Protest? My husband and I flaked on the time. WE thought it started around 1 not ended around 1 :( 3w
ElizaMarie @Cuilin It was!!! I ended up cleaning my mudroom. I am determined that Winter is over (I know it's not quite there yet, but soonish), So I started to clean my mittens, scarves, and hats and put a lot of that stuff away. Still gotta keep some winter-sh stuff out. But my mudroom was a dumping ground - so there was a ton to go through. 3w
ElizaMarie @dabbe We got a lot done - organizing-wise. Not what we had planned. We wanted to go to the protest but flaked on the time. We ended up going to lunch, and then finishing our mudroom cleanout. 3w
ElizaMarie @dabbe Awe - I hope Matt feels better soon. 3w
Cuilin @ElizaMarie There‘s nothing like a little spring clean up. Just don‘t look at the weather forecasted for the next 10 days 🙈 and all will be well. 3w
Deblovestoread @ElizaMarie I did go with two friends and it was amazing. Brought me to tears a couple of times. We were lucky to have a gorgeous day. One of the best things I‘ve ever done. 3w
Deblovestoread @ElizaMarie I LOVE a good clean up day especially putting away winter stuff. 3w
TheBookHippie Out protesting yesterday!!! As one does. @Deblovestoread YAAAAAS!!! As a decades -holy shit FOUR DECADES- protestor … welcome to the resistance. 3w
TheBookHippie @Cuilin the snow forecasted 😵‍💫 3w
TheBookHippie @Cuilin omg!!! Snow Patrol!! 3w
ElizaMarie @Cuilin It make me so mad!!! Also, I need to get my studs off my tires, which I think it would be “safe“ to set up an appointment in a week or two. 3w
ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread I am so happy that you ended up going. I wish we were better at the timing, I saw pics of our town and the neighboring towns and it looks beautiful to see all the support out there. (It was rainy and ugly but there was a good turn out) 3w

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

I'm a day late, but I wanted to join in. The last few months have been awful. However, the last few days, I've started feeling so much better. 🤞I'm out of the cycle of constant asthma flare-ups and chest infections.
My 5 joys are
1) 🌞📚☕️🐞🦋🐦‍⬛🦉
2) The dawn chorus
3) Gloria
4) It's Mother's Day tomorrow, thinking about my beautiful mum, gone for 22 years but never forgotten.
5) My aunt's gorgeous yellow magnolia

How is everyone today?

Bookwormjillk Happy Saturday! I'm so glad to hear you're feeling well. What a winter for you!

You might have heard of this tv show that has gone viral. It is a MUST watch if you wish to understand how our contemporary society emerged with all its subsequent issues around masculinity, bullying, aggression, etc.

We watched this as a family (4 teens) at the weekend and had a very productive conversation about the subject, themes, and their experiences.

Cont. ⬇️

AllDebooks It is a phenomenal piece of television, one of those defining tv moments that encapsulate a time and place for each generation.

AllDebooks @Alora I found it very harrowing to watch as a parent, particularly that last episode showing the impact on his family. 1mo
AllDebooks @AmyG We finished it yesterday. I haven't stopped thinking about it all night. 💔 1mo
AllDebooks @Lesliereadsalot absolutely. It's such a valuable piece of work, extraordinarily well done. 1mo
Lesliereadsalot Did you see where they shot each episode in one take? And the guy who played the dad is one of the producers. @AmyG 1mo
AllDebooks @Lesliereadsalot Stephen Graham also co-wrote it. The one take shot makes it even more remarkable, certainly gave it the feeling of theatrical drama. 1mo
AmyG @Lesliereadsalot Yes! I‘ve been reading about it on social media. So good I had to binge it. 1mo

Schnoebs Finally got around to finishing this! I honestly had a lot of fun listening to this got a little something knew from each bird. The second half I think was a lot more culturally impactful and politically focused compared to the first half which was more nature based. Honestly the bald eagle chapter and the tree swallows really caught my attention. 4w
