Welcome to Litsy!

I pulled the tagged book off my shelf recently and thought I should read this, it‘s been here for years. Then I realized it reminded me of something, two other books I loved! #covertrend

Between a pick and a so-so. Good story, but like most Victorian novels, it‘s long and bogged down with excessive details. I did like it, but wish it had been shorter.

An incredible amount of depth and detail. Suspense and uncertainty carried the story until the bitter, bitter end.

“Faces in the flames; the smell of a September morning; death and desire: impressions and remembrances floated before my eyes, coalesced, and separated again, a multitude of ghosts in an eternal dance.”

“After nearly nine years of wandering, I lay down that night in my own bed again, and closed my eyes once more to the eternal music of sea meeting shore.”

Longest book of the year so far, who knew murder could take quite so long?

My 4 year old has been carrying this around. He says it's about hats.

First person narrator to the nth degree: as he‘s carefully plotting the demise of his arch nemesis. I feel like I‘ve read this book before...but that won‘t stop me from reading it again! #litsyreads #uncannyoctober @RealLifeReading

Thank you @Amandajoy for my #cupidgoespostal goodies!! I love them!! The Meaning of Night is new to me and sounds wonderful. Sharp Objects has been on my radar for a while. My sister just passed her copy of Dark Places to me last weekend. I am so excited to read some of your favorites. Oh and dark chocolate is the best! Thanks @BookishMarginalia I had so much fun with this exchange. Happy Valentines Day!

Latest #bookhaul!! I felt great about this one. 1) proceeds from the used book shop go back to the library and 2) I've never heard of any of these! I tend to gravitate to books that are on one of my various #tbr lists or that I'm in some way familiar with. These are all new to me! Fingers crossed I picked up a gem or two.

Going nowhere with Great Expectations...Maybe I'll read this instead...??

I don't know what attracted me to this novel, but it was a great read. Slowly you learn the secrets, and find yourself invested, unable to imagine what happens next. At one point, I yelled out, NO! You will know what I mean when you get there.
