Welcome to Litsy!

A bit clunky and clumsy, and far fetched. Page turner though.

I‘m nominating The Farm by Tom Rob Smith. His latest book was such a disappointment I had to talk about how much I liked this one. The descriptions of the snow and the cold made me feel it right in my lungs. Here‘s what I wrote in 2020:

This book was spooky and menacing. A London couple who should be retiring instead have to take their meager savings and try to make a living on a rural farm in Sweden. Things don‘t go well.

Starting my next read.

It‘s (unintentional) ancient ARC month here at Chez Megan, and The Farm finally made its way off the shelf. I enjoyed this mystery of a mother caught in a conspiracy…or is she? Son, Daniel, has the uneasy duty of determining whether his mother has fallen suddenly and dramatically ill or whether she is, indeed, caught up in a web of wrong-doing. The storytelling has an urgent, breathless quality to it that is perfectly pitched. Recommended.

Fast pace book that keeps you hooked from the very start.

Hello, lovely #PaperbackSwap books! I don‘t when I‘ll read you, but I‘m excited to see you!

A very strange story about a woman either losing her mind or pursuing a dangerous conspiracy. You really won‘t have any answers until the end. It was compelling and, yet, I don‘t really like it. You‘ll have to read it to decide for yourself.

Bk3 of my #Scarathlon2020 #Screamathon2020 #Pageathon #Thrilloween #Sbooktober #Gothtober #RockyHorrorathon & #CYOReadathon is done! It covers the prompts of #HorrorOrThrillerByNewToYouAuthor #DevilsFoodCake #ForeignCountry & #FrankNFurter It definitely wasn‘t what I was expecting, but it was a very good read. Has you questioning what the truth is the whole time & the ending was a huge surprise. Highly recommend. 896pts for #TeamSlaughter🥳

At the end of day2 of my #Scarathlon2020 #Screamathon2020 #CYOReadathon #Gothtober #Thrilloween #RockyHorrorathon #Pageathon etc(😱) I‘m halfway through Bk3 and just over 19hrs of reading done. So far, this thriller is everything it should be, unsettling, strange & full of hidden motives. Which means I‘m enjoying it immensely. How‘s your ‘thons going? How many are you doing, if any? 1pt. #TeamSlaughter

That is my daughter‘s name! And the way we spell it also! I was so excited, it‘s not very popular.

I am also very much enjoying this one, and will be adding to my tally for Mount TBR.

1) This meme is killing me

2) Starting today, in a holding pattern on some others

3) Puzzles, knitting, limiting social media, reading, a lot of horror movies

4) Dark!

Now that's an image.😂

Greetings from Montana, where the current wind chill as I scribble this is a balmy twenty-six degrees below zero. A good night to scroll through Litsy and bond with my fuzzy blanket and a book.

I should be focusing on school work. But INSTEAD, my boss let me borrow this book and I can not put it down!! The story just sucks you in, and has you hanging off every word. The suspense is perfectly written.

I managed to get this read in about 48hrs - just in time to discuss in book club. It is a quick book because you don't want to put it down. It puts a unique spin on the unreliable narrator that had become popular in psychological thrillers. There are some twists that I didn't see coming. Also, I read that the author created this story based on his real life experience with his mom, who suffered from mental illness. Just made me love it more. 4/5

Just started this book for a book club that meets tomorrow. Why do I always wait until the last minute?!!! Hope no one sees me reading at my desk today (or cares).

1. Reading the tagged book for a mystery book club next week and then I move on to The Remains of the Day for a classics book club. #bookclubaddict
2. I wouldn't change my name. Just too use to this one I guess.
3. I'm behind on current music so the last one I enjoyed was "Don't let me down" by the Chainsmokers

Sunday morning reading with my best buddy. ❤️❤️❤️ #catsoflitsy

Definitely a must read lent of my friend so no picture but was hooked from the start, really had me guessing until the end. Ending was really strange hoping there's a sequel.

Lmao @WordWaller I'm reading this and *sinew* shows up! I couldn't help it , I just burst out laughing and thought of you 😂😂😂

The Farm and veggie tacos on a rainy day!

Thanks @Texreader for the audio recommendation! This was equal parts infuriating and tragic and I didn't see at all where the story was leading. 👍🏻

This kind of weather, plus crazy traffic, means I got lots of listening time this morning during my commute. Thanks @Texreader for the suggestion!

My #bookhaul yesterday from McKay's in Nashville. Haven't been to that particular location before, but I love that store so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

I finished the audible version of this book today. The narrators were spot on. The story had a nice twist I didn't see coming. I'd have a hard time imagining reading it rather than listening. I think it could get boring. But the man and woman narrating it were terrific. This Swedish book felt very Scandinavian too in multiple ways my having a Scandinavian family and watching/reading this genre. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 of 5. Thanks @SoniaC for recommending it!

Listened to this during my long drive home for work today, thanks to @SoniaC 's recommendation. I'm on chapter 5 of 12 in part 1. So far so good! With male and female narrators it is a lot easier to imagine what is going on.

This book just blew me away. The story is engaging with some great twists I just didn't see coming. The narrators are terrific and really complemented the story. This is my new favorite audiobook! A touching, intelligent, compelling story skillfully told.

I am loving this audiobook so far. The narrators both have the best accents. I swear when I hear the mom I picture Angela Lansbury. Is the mom crazy? Is the dad a villain?? Will they discover Daniel's secret??? Oh my!

"What do you mean, there's no more story?" ?
Great book ???
