Welcome to Litsy!

I had 2 of those carts piled with my TBR book stacks and I started thinking this bookcase I‘d pulled out of my son‘s room might be a better idea. I feel better emotionally with a lot of physical books in my TBR pile 🤷🏻‍♀️ So I painted this bookshelf to match my walls ( kind of a cheater built in ) I‘m still working on a system but I do love glancing over at it while I read and when I go to sleep

The story is told in two timelines, 1950 and 2014. The latter is told by Fiona, a journalist trying to get to the bottom of her sisters murder and the role a girls boarding school had in it. The 1950 storyline is based at the school and centres around the lives of four friends coming to terms with their misplaced roles in society.
Running through both stories is a ghostly presence tying them together.

This was just, SO good. I loved Sun Down Motel, but this is my favorite of hers so far. Just everything sewn up into a quilt of intrigue, devoted friendship, love, loss, and a hell of a ghost story. 👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻 Oh and this was my #bookspin pick (no way I‘m getting a bingo lol)

Just posted a new review. I was hoping to love this since I loved The Sun Down Motel. I ended up only giving it three stars. I was disappointed that the ghost story and murder mystery didn‘t connect.

I finally got my March Wrap Up video up! Let‘s talk about our March reads! https://youtu.be/rjnOBzrOxCk

Also, please don‘t mind my inability to speak properly. When I say, “The ship shrunk,” I, of course, mean that it sunk. 😂😂😂

The Broken Girls tells the story of a haunted boarding school in the 1950s, a missing student, and a present day journalist, a woman still traumatized by the murder of her sister. She is drawn into the story behind the restoration of Idlewild Hall, the boarding school grounds where her sister‘s body had been found 20 years earlier.

There is no denying it. I am a book hog.

I received an email the other day about a new Goodwill bookstore in a town that‘s roughly a 30 minute drive from us so I had to go to the grand opening sale.

I did follow the rule I set for myself when buying secondhand books. I knew what all of these were without reading the synopsis and knew they were all on my “want to read” list.

#gratefulreads Day 7 my kindles are my #favouritebookishitem. Or #favoritebookishitem if you choose the other spelling 😁😁
While I do prefer print books ebooks are great for convenience, cost and checking out samples
