Welcome to Litsy!

This was beautifully written and heartbreakingly juxtaposed between two timelines. But O M G did Mark make this an excruciating experience to read at times. Just what an absolute tool bag. Team 🐝

Starting this today for personal book club now that my work book club book has been read.

I've said it a number of times, these books in which a character lives multiple lives fascinate me to no end. I can't help to think back on my life and the the pivotal decisions I made which brought me to where I currently am. It all could've been so different!

My Real Children begins and ends with Patricia Cowan in a nursing home in England suffering from dementia while trying to keep straight the memories of two past lives. Really well done.

I had been wanting to read it for a long time and once I started I could not put it down. A great story, with only a little uchrony in it but very nice exploration of what the choices we make can change in our lives.

Such a good list of books with older women protags over at @bookriot, all 50 are good, some are fan-tas-tic, but the compiler forgot Jo Walton's My Real Children, which is egregious. Go read the books on this list and then read My Real Children.

Book recommendations from @tournevis who also encouraged me to go ahead and get the stocking stuffer eight months early! Then we ate yummy pizza, and she tolerated my imperfect knowledge of the city‘s “modified grid” as we took a “windshield tour” of a few of the sights. 📚🍕🚗

I am still trucking along on #24in48. I've read for just under 17 hours at this point.
Serafina Pekkala is here to offer moral support.

These two kids are entertaining themselves and actually letting me read! #thankgodforthebeach

I wanted to love this one. I really did. I want to know the direction of the story but I just can‘t get into the author‘s writing. It has no finesse for me. #dnf

Day 1: January‘s Most Anticipated Read for #janinbooks18 I found this one pretty much on a whim for my #alternativehistory prompt for #aroundtheyearin52books challenge

Having fun choosing what to read next. This looks like it might suit.

Dementia that maybe isn't dementia. I'm looking forward to diving into another Jo Walton.

Next read.

We all have critical decisions in our lives, but we usually don't get to learn what would have happened if we'd made the other choice. This book is all about what if. Very good, even though I think it has a problem with bias.
