Welcome to Litsy!

This library sale find had some amusing moments, but the plot is already fading from memory. 💯 #MoreMehThanYeah

Hurricane Sandy hits the NYC area, and in the Hudson Valley, a family patriarch dies. His oldest is a sex addict trying to juggle two girlfriends while pining for his ex-wife. Middle sis lives in LA, has a wild 5 year old, and works for a whiny celebrity. The youngest can‘t seem to fly the nest. Chaos erupts when they all meet.

This book has a lot of odd light fictionalization, including this

Glaxo + Wellcome + SmithKline Beecham = GSK or GlaxoSmithKline, which is the maker of a number of anti-depressants 🤣🤣

I LOVE book mail!

Finished The Antiques today. I'm usually 100% here for dysfunctional family drama, but this one was just so-so. I found the characters a little flat and generic. The asshole brother was there just to be the asshole brother, the caring sister was there to do the emotional labor for everyone else... it was basically family drama bingo.

I love me some dysfunctional family drama. I'm diving into The Antiques tonight.

Almost done with this one. It won't prove to be memorable. Still, I'm finishing it.

It's hard to have a #LitsyPartyOfOne when the house is full.

(Parenthetical writing isn't so annoying on audio.) I didn't find the characters likable and their arcs are slight, BUT I did have a journey so that by the end I accepted them. That's pretty much how some family relationships go, right?

I love a tale of a dysfunctional family, dark yet still funny. This book is that, but it didn't really work for me. Two and a half stars.

Deconstructed fish tacos and my two current reads. It's unfortunate for The Antiques that I'm reading it alongside Sweet Lamb. Millet's writing is just so beautiful. And not a single parenthetical (yet 😛) #bookanddinner

Not surprisingly, it's very Nest-y (and kinda funny that the authors of both have *D'* in their names) but I'm trying not to let that influence my opinion. I will say that the author's liberal use of parentheticals is driving me a bit crazy-a little ironic because I am a liberal user (abuser?) of the parenthetical myself 😳😂

All ready for my #LitsyPartyofOne: Fire ✅ Comfy clothes ✅ Little dish of chocolate chips ✅ New book from the library ✅Wine...uh....not quite ready to pour because I put it in the freezer to chill last night and I totally forgot about it 😂😂😂I'll just make some tea....😛

#TBRtemptation post! For fans of Emma Straub & Karen Jay Fowler, a fast-paced comedic drama! A dysfunctional family's patriarch is on his death bed, and his estranged grown kids gather at his upstate NY home from Hollywood, Manhattan, & the basement...during a powerful hurricane that damages his antique shop. He insists they must sell a priceless painting. Go figure. Let the dysfunctional hilarity ensue! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
