Welcome to Litsy!

It started slowly ( probably deliberately) and rather conventionally about a dysfunctional family unit - but it soon became engrossing, complex and slightly strange - all of which I liked ! I did get a little lost at times with the plot - switching between time and consciousness but I coped with it and really enjoyed the book .

I pulled out a bunch of random titles from my towering TBR to reacquaint myself. I love reshuffling my stacks from time to time! Are there any titles here I should move to the top of my list?

This throws some twists and turns like Atkinson‘s later work, but is a bit loose in its construction; something like a written version of a Jane Austin-esque Masterpiece Theater sciFi adaptation… thoroughly enjoyed it!

Crazy story! I loved it.
Took a while to get used to her way of writing and narration but totally worth it. 🤗🤗🤗

I've read most of her others so thought I'd try this from our library app.

I own a copy of this Kate Atkinson book, and really do need to read it. #HumanNature #Movember

#AyUpAugust #Human I haven't read this one yet, but it's on my bookshelf- time travel and a 300-year-old family curse sound intriguing!

This is what came to mind with #Human. Own a copy, which had for a number of years, but yet I read it. Has anyone read it?

I‘m excited by my very small #bookhaul from my long weekend in England! Given how many bookstores I wandered into, it‘s a small miracle I had the restraint not to buy more 😊

Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌍🌏 #aprilbookshowers #earthtonecovers

One of my #autobuyauthors is Kate Atkinson. I will buy anything and everything that she writes. Some of them that I own are ebooks that I bought when they were on sale so they aren't pictured here. #marchintoreading

#thiscovermakesnosense #readjanuary. Maybe if I read these books the covers would make sense. My friend is holding my books near her Snowdrops. No rain today 🤞

I want to like Kate Atkinson, and I don't know what makes me bail every time. Meh!

A mini used book haul. Replacement Robbins for nostalgia's sake, some anthologies, and a Kate Atkinson I was missing. Also, this frapp happened. Because, #biblioweekend

This is my pick for #Recommendsday: Atkinson plays wonderful games with place and time. This book is odd, but in a good way. It is full of mystery, suspense, confusing twists, magical language and eerie fairy-tale-like moments. You definitely should read this!
