Welcome to Litsy!

Super late in posting but my BOTM from April!! 🥰
I love getting new books, especially books that come in wrapping paper and are complete surprises! 😍

Listening to this thriller right now.

I love a book that pulls emotions and thoughts out of me. OMG! This book did that on so many levels. I loved it so much. I didn‘t know who to cheer for. This book left me with all the feels. I needed a recovery period and frequent breaks to process. That‘s all the signs of a good book to me. #blacklitsy #blitsy

It was a really interesting book. I listened to the audiobook , it was pretty sad to listen since it‘s about a type of revenge against slavery. It was a bold book to write. There will probably be a sequel.

Forty acres sounds like a great book. I hope I won‘t be disappointed 😬

I'm going to be caught up in this thriller for a long time. It keeps popping into my mind. Black men seek absolute "in kind" revenge for the atrocities of slavery. Their logic is eerily sensible but the consequences of that logic are frightening.

Sucked right in!

I picked up this book because Rincy and Katie recommended this on the Read or Dead podcast @bookriot . It wasn‘t horrible, in fact it was OK, it just wasn‘t for me. It started out quite slow and it did not pick up until about half way through the book when everything came together.

I can't say I enjoyed this but it certainly was thought provoking.

Walking to the library to return my book so that I could finish off my audio was a bad idea, what a miserable day for a walk. But this book was fascinating - I don‘t want to say much because it takes a long time for the plot to really start unfolding but man, totally compelling. Just be warned, it‘s very slow in the beginning with more detail than necessary but totally worth it.

Started my long weekend off right with a puzzle and this audio that both Rincey and Katie have been raving about on the @bookriot Read or Dead podcast.

I'm trying again with this book. I had to take a break because while I am intrigued by the plot the writing style is a bit much. I understand what a pregnancy test is. I don't need a lengthy description of it. But I am hoping I get used to it.

Yes, I think this is a great book to read. But it made me so mad for so many reasons. So many different feelings going on while making my way through this book. Semi satisfied with the ending. But when you get invested in the lives of people, you want to see it through to the very end. I listened to this on audio through Hoopla.

Gym and an audiobook

Started listening to this today after hearing about it on @bookriot podcast #readordead. So far so good

Just heard about this on #Readordead podcast so I downloaded from Hoopla

If you loved GET OUT go read this social thriller! And if you don't need TW (rape/suicide) don't look anything up about the book just read it. Super smart, well done-- I felt every single layer of this book like a punch.

"I‘ll be the first to admit that the majority of my reading choices don‘t lean towards the very deep or especially thought-provoking. This one was a complete departure from that typical experience." Reviewed by Thalia https://goo.gl/dLfPxK

I own few physical books these days, but this autographed copy is one of my favorites.

I still think about this one more than two years after reading it. I've heard rumors (hopes?!?) of a sequel...
