Welcome to Litsy!

I'm on a mission to clear books off my TBR shelf (very slowly) and picked this up but 30 pages in and I'm giving up. There's nothing wrong with the writing - it's definitely a very confident, young voice. Maybe it's just not for me. But after getting through some 30 pages, I realized that I really didn't care for the narrator or her story and that I've got plenty more books to spend my reading time on.

Great news! The wrecked looking home next to us has been bought by someone who has already started the renovation process. Finally the eyesore will be gone.

Ok I was sure I had more than one "V" title but this was all I could find!
I have yet to read:
-The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
- Under Heaven
- Wreck and Order
- The Wildings
- What Lies Between Us
Have you read any of these?

Am I getting old and crotchety? I'm not loving this so far and I'm wondering if it's the millennial narrator. My post-millennial pup is unimpressed so far too. Anyone else read it and willing to weigh in?

First up for the awesome #readathon.We're two hours in and I'm about halfway done and so excited for the rest of the day. Will be posting updates periodically

What a profound quote tucked 90% of the way through a book it seems like many people gave up on.

Thoughts?

I'm on vacation this week! Finally, after being in school all summer. Reading Wreck and Order on my phone while I relax on the beach!

2.5 stars. Elsie is a wreck like a lot of people on their early 20's,but will she ever find the direction her life is supposed my one going on? I thought I was going to like this so much more. Full review at http://whatchatreadin.blogspot.com

Almost done with this book. Not sure how I'm going to rate it. So many different feelings from this book both positive and negative.

What I'm reading!#whatchareadin

A coming of age story with a rather pathetic, self destructive protagonist. The writing is actually very good but, I just couldn't connect with the Elise to make this a more satisfying experience. Has anyone read it?

My personality is ill-suited to my ideals

I'm excited to read this one! I've read some good reviews about it. (And I had to put these pretty flowers in the background! 💐🌺🌹🌸🌼🌷🌻)

For those underwhelmed by Eat,Pray,Love & wanted REAL mess: a really complicated female narrator, real intense examination of sex and addiction behaviors, [TRIGGER WARNING] & escape to a Buddhist country that wasn't based in romanticizing poverty/exotic. This may be for you. Thought provoking. Raw

Only 3 chapters in and this is grabbing me with all sorts of feminist and Buddhist perspectives in the form of a bold & unflinching narrator hellbent on self destruction. I don't know if I like her, but I both relate to her & want to see what she will do next. Compelling and I hope it sustains.

Reading the news alone was less depressing than trying to do something about it.
