Welcome to Litsy!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

Yep! She's become a new favorite. Maybe a bit predictable, but a page turner nonetheless.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A novel of family secrets, creativity,identity,heartbreak,loss & hope, set on the idyllic Mediterranean island of Corsica.The setting both informs & forms the characters & their responses to the world.Corsica‘s wild beauty encompasses various terrains:mountains,cliffs,valleys,tidal pools,forests.The arts:painting,architecture,photography,music,drive the plot.While The novel might seem slow to some,for me the pace & lyrical writing are perfect.

Starting this today on a whim. #moodbook #porchlife #ocean

This book covers a lot: love, lost, grief, separation, family secrets, but the story is very slow, a little cliché and unconvincing. It's an OK book, but just OK.

This was an okay read for me; I wasn‘t pulled in from the onset, but did want to know how it all came together. This was a quite different from The Guest List, which introduced me to the author.

This book definitely got better as I went, but it was slow to get started. I couldn‘t help thinking most people probably would have jumped ship. And it‘s probably not fair to compare & contrast, but this was much slower than The Guest List. After finishing that, I decided to look into Foley‘s other books.

This was in the free box so thought I had to rescue it. I found it hard to get into. Once I did I found the jumping from one time setting to another plus the different “ voices” sometimes hard to follow. It was an okay read. @MrsMalaprop

My book outlet #bookhaul. I realize now I may have gone slightly crazy. Plus I bought a couple for my tiny human. What I should have got was a new bookshelf...
