Welcome to Litsy!

#3books #thatmadememad or at least really irritated me!
-800 grapes, the main character was SO obnoxious, self-centered and interfering, but I felt like the author wants us to like her!😡
- Still Life with breadcrumbs, again I felt like the author wants readers to root for the MC, but she is SO condescending and pompous!😡
- Searching for Grace Kelly, the author seems to be SO judgmental of his female characters, and punishes them accordingly! 😡

I picked this one up at a second hand store and took it away with me on holiday. It was a nice read, set in New York in 1955. It tells the story for three young women who have moved to city to start their news lives! #bookcover

Day 9 - Cozy from #fallisbooked challenge, this was last night in a restaurant. Funnily enough the restaurant was called Cozy!

1. ⬆️ I hated how the author made simplistic moral judgements about his own (female) characters and appeared to punish them accordingly! 😡
2. Qi and Jonathan Creek (I love Alan Davies💕!)
3. Marmite on whole grain toast
4. Eastern (US)
5. Red Bird Bewildered! 🤟😂 (I have a patterned dress on!)

3 star read and I am pretty sure I've read this before on Kindle.

Set in 1950s NYC three women meet in a hotel for ladies of a certain social standing. Each are in the city to follow their own dreams, be it to be a writer, to escape the Midwest or to escape a strict unloving upbringing. This is a tale of friendship, love, self-development...an easy read for a winter evening.

I'm sure I've read this book before...or it's a case of deja vu ... 🤔

#day5 #photoadaynov16 #threwitacrosstheroom .. not literally (read it as ebook!) but this was an infuriating book. High expectations... was hoping for Peggy Olsen-esque characters 'making it' in NYC... got an insipid protagonist and an author who seemed to give happy endings to chaste characters and punish the 'less moral' characters with awful endings! I can't stand it when a male author seems to judge his female characters like that! Grrrrrr 😬

Really really enjoyed it. It radiates 1950s glamour throughout. Romantic yet tragic. Adorable yet also made of stronger stern stuff. A wonderful tale of fashion, love, betrayal, glamour but above all it focuses on the unforgettable bonds of friendship. Must-read. 5 out of 5.

Now that #summer is almost officially over... I would like to celebrate my favourite place in the world i.e. on the #beach with a #book *sigh* This was last Monday.

P.S: Loving #listy :) Thank you for adding it on Android!
