Welcome to Litsy!

25-28 Apr 24 (audiobook)
I am not sure why so many authors seem to think that abusive relationships are romantic. I do not find Alexander likeable - he is violent, controlling and seems to be addicted to sex. Both characters say such awful things to each other and really behave quite badly at times. And the lack of communication is infuriating. No marriage would survive it.
Again, the parts about the Vietnamese War were interesting.

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.

Day 76th

Join the fun if you want!

"Se lo tirò vicino. Ma era già il più vicino possibile. Due scodelle di metallo incastrate l'una nell'altra.
'Ordo amoris, Alexander.'
'Ordo amoris, Tatiana'

Oh, this hurts.

I hate to pan the last book of one of my favorite series, but I can‘t get past how a character that I have LOVED so much took a complete 180 into something unrecognizable. I will rant about that in a spoilery comment for those interested.

Amazingly lovely writing, and there were parts I loved, but there seems to be no plot other than to take us through 60 years of a marriage.

Read book 1, consider book 2, but skip this.☹️

I really wanted to love it. But I just couldn‘t. It was just... boring? It kept jumping back and forth and the best part was when they were overseas. Which made up a tiny part of the 748 pages.

Liked the ending though, don‘t know if I‘d read it again. I probably will, but not for a while. On a positive note, this was my 20th book this year!! 🥳

Onto the final part of the trilogy 😥

I love, love, love this trilogy. Yes, it is a love story, but neither one is perfect. They fought, they both had stubborn pride, but they loved each other through so much. On the minus - there was a lot of pornography.

Aahh! The finale of the most wonderful heart-stopping trilogy. Leave me alone for the next few days. 1 to read. 1 to reread favorite parts over and over again. And 1 to savor in my dreams (night and day).

This is the third book in The Bronze Horseman series. I have read the first two but not this one.

If I didn‘t “lightly” read this, it would‘ve ruined my favorite book of all time- the bronze horseman. What was Simons thinking? This was horribly depressing and awful

#TBRtemptation post 4! This is the 3rd installment in The Bronze Horseman series. And a thick one too. Tatiana and Alexander suffered through years of war and devastation. Now they're reunited in America and have a son, Anthony. They find a way to love through post-war America as a Cold War heats up. Dark forces attempt to end their hard-fought peace, and the struggles begin again. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

My first thought for a summer book... I love Tatiana and Alexander so much. ❤️❤️

Thanks for the opportunity, Liberty!

Started this and soon went on a binge. Took me long to get to this one as it is such a heartbreaking story.
The audiobook could be a lot better! Especially Alexandre 's voice is very uneven.

Hey everyone! So I really love this trilogy the first book is of course the best. However I love how we get to see their relationship develop and transform.

"When Tatiana looked up from her ice cream, she saw a soldier staring at her from across the street."

Happy June 22nd to my loves, Tatiana and Alexander

The power you have over someone who loves you is greater than any other power you'll ever have.

Because I ❤️ Tatiana and Alexander.

Fun Friday Photo a day late!! This is the final book in the Bronze Horseman trilogy and after the intense emotional roller coaster they put me on, the simple, quiet ending that brought it all back to the beginning was just perfect and I reread it like 5 times in a row. 😭💕 #ReadWomen

Perfect end to a beautiful series. I know plenty of people didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. I can understand the frustration. This book was at times heartbreaking, but it managed to rip me apart and put me back together again. Perfect.
