Welcome to Litsy!

I left work early and hit the movies,JoAnn Fabric, and B&N. Ahhhh…….

This book strikes me as an update of a certain type of second wave feminist novel - shades of Cat‘s Eye or one of Marge Piercy‘s realistic novels. Kate flees NY in the wake of a #metoo situation for a job cataloging the papers of Miranda Brand, a celebrated photographer of the 1980s. A women‘s novel about living in a misogynist world,married to a domestic thriller. It doesn‘t all quite work but was still thought-provoking & well-written.

Definitely more than meets the eye here - on the surface it‘s a mystery but it proves to be more if a psychological thriller. TW: depression, r*pe, s*icide.

I got new AirPods so I did some #audiowalking and dropped off these past reads at my local Little Free Library.

Not sure why the tagged has such a negative % on here - it‘s pretty intriguing so far!

While this book was intriguing & kept me turning the pages, it never really won me over. Kate has fled her NYC life as a journalist to take a summer job archiving the personal papers, diaries & creative materials that once belonged to Miranda Brand, a photographer who is believed to have committed suicide at the height of her career. As Kate begins sorting through the journals, she soon discovers there might be a deeper story. Exactly how I felt😉

Hoping to knock out my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin over Thanksgiving weekend, especially since I‘m in mandatory quarantine 🤪I will probably add an audio too🎧♥️

Last night‘s situation. About to happen again tonight even though it‘s super early. Didn‘t sleep well and I‘m cold!! 🥶

This book is slow-going, for some reason. I feel like I‘ve been reading it forever.

8-21-20: I really like these lines. 📖💖

Picked this one up on a limb and it was pretty good! Reminds me of Big Lies in a Small Town, but it always makes for an interesting read when there are diary snippets. I didn‘t care for her character development of the main character - it was missing too much, but overall, a good book!

I don‘t know why I didn‘t get to this yesterday 🤷🏻‍♀️, but here‘s my #JulyTBR ! Not pictured: my BOTM picks and whatever NetGalley reads I hopefully get through! #flyhighjuly

Going to start this one next!

You guys! This was such a fun ride. Though this novel has just the right shades of Verity and Where‘d You Go Bernadette, it also stands on its own as a mystery/drama. I found myself slowing down and savoring the chapters at certain parts.

Take Me Apart is a slow mystery that unravels itself until almost the last page. It is what I would call a Literary Mystery. The story is narrated by Kate who has come to catalog the personal notes of Miranda Brand a famous artist who people question how she died. Alternately you will get to read Miranda‘s journal‘s, letters and even see receipts that she methodically saved.
