The Absent Heart by Ali Bacon

In 1870, Frances Sitwell, beautiful, intelligent and trapped in an abusive marriage, is grateful for the chaste affection offered by rising literary star, Sidney Colvin. They make a perfect couple until the young Robert Louis Stevenson bursts into their lives to captivate them with his wild, mercurial spirit and startlingly original talent.

Reviewing for #TBC on Facebook.

This is my TBR pile is bare....mainly due to my need to escape this insane American reality whenever I can. So please ,would love recommendations of your favorite or last great book.
Please no recommendations for books of authoritarianism, delusional billionaires destroying society, theocracy replacing democracy, the nazi /white supremacy, or any stories pertaining to cheeto hitler

This is from a small book published by Obvious State, titled Women Writers Collected Works & Poems, illustrated by Evan Robertson.
Appropriate for today,given the airplane/helicopter tragedy & our illustrious leader‘s response- not mourning with the families,but blaming DEI for the crash.

Not in Litsy database: I got this on a Stuff Your Kindle Day.
Soft Pick
It was pretty cute. I‘m a big wrestling fan so I liked picking out all the inspo. At first Elle was driving me crazy, Logan wasn‘t much of a grump for a “grumpy bartender” but as they got a better read on eachother it was really sweet and the 3rd act conflict was so fun.

There are a smattering of misspellings/typos, so fair warning.

Meet Augustus…..my eldest found him outside very emaciated. So we have taken him in, set him up a nice home and are feeding him yummy crickets. He is easily handled too and very friendly.

Butterfinger Wow!!!! I'm the only one in my family who is not afraid of spiders. 1mo
Texreader Awww. Spiders are our friends. I don‘t think I could be nearly as friendly as you but I‘ve always tried to save them from people who‘d rather do otherwise. They do so much good. Way to go! 1mo
Darklunarose @Butterfinger until recently I had serious arachnophobia after I was bitten bad many years ago. My daughter is the spood whisperer and is holding auggie here! (edited) 1mo

LiseWorks Eewwwwe, I knew there was skin under there. Spiders bite me all the time, unknown and unseen. Thank God I live in a country where there are no poison ones. 1mo

Darklunarose @LiseWorks I used to be the same. These guys dint tend to bite.they are pretty friendly. The are highly intelligent too. A concept of numbers like a toddler, they dream and they recognise their owners voice vibrations. They are also highly curious. But yeah, I used to have severe arachnophobia after being bitten by some kind of spood many years ago. It‘s sometimes hard to get over, auggie is also less them 1cm. 1mo

We are having a hard 24 hours here. Yesterday we lost this baby girl, Midnight. She was our last rat. We have had rats non stop pretty much for 19 years. We are not getting any more as with my husband unwell everyone is taking on so much. Then when my husband was cleaning our ladies out (mice) we noticed our Sage who was 2 had passed. She was fine the day before. It‘s the end of our rattie era. I‘m going to miss them

I truely loved reading this book by Densey Clyne. It was published one year before she passed and reading her words you can feel the enthusiasm she had for the life of the macro all around her. I had not realised she has passed, she was part of my childhood being on tv a bit and she made a lasting impression on me.

I might have developed an appreciation for entomology but this guy was not welcome in the car today! We believe it‘s a hawk wasp (huntsman hawk) and apparently can be aggressive. With a sting the most painful of wasps (so he can immobilise huntsman) He was not welcome to buzz at my head!

KAO Yikes!! 2mo
TEArificbooks Nope, I‘m out 2mo
ImperfectCJ My friend's son had a goal of being stung by one of these (we called them tarantula hawks in Utah), just so he could see what it felt like. He was about 10 at the time. We had cicada-killer wasps in Massachusetts. They're supposed to be mostly docile, but I still kept my distance. I would be very anxious if either of these approached me. 2mo

Darklunarose @ImperfectCJ I admit to not being impressed it was buzzing round my head. I saw the tarantula wasps when someone online thought this might be one. Very very similar 2mo

It‘s the end of the year and I‘m finally feeling like I can sit down and read a book. This year has been so busy with finishing school, going on a month long trip to Scotland, getting a classroom, having to leave my class due to being sick, best friend having my god daughter and I‘m sure I‘m missing some key events 😂
With that being said I‘m excited to be back and participating in one of my fav litsy traditions! Here‘s my #bookspin Dec list 🥰

109/150 I didn't like this one as much as the first book, the humor was pulled back in favor of a more mainstream kind of sci-fi adventure. Isaac learns more about his past while looking for the person who stole the best idea in the universe, while also dealing with an intergalactic war, the destruction of his robot partner/lover, and the return of a villain thought despatched in the first book. The book does commit one unpardonable sin, ⬇️

RamsFan1963 ⬆️ it ends on a major cliffhanger, a catastrophic event that changes the entire universe of the storyline, and there is no book 3 to discover how things turn out!! I hope the author is planning a third book soon because you can't drop a bombshell like that and not finish the story. 3.5/5 3mo

Help! I‘ve been in a reading slump for over 2 months. I miss reading but I also don‘t have any motivation to pick up a book. Every book I‘ve tried to pick up either didn‘t sound interesting, it was predictable, flat out boring, or I just couldn‘t focus. What did you do to get over your reading slump? Also, any book recommendations are always appreciated ❤️
