Welcome to Litsy!

This was my #bookspin for January, and I was able to make it work for an older #TBRTarot prompt(June 2023–book that begins with a prologue).
Per the synopsis on the back: “On a fateful summer morning in 1986, two 11 year old girls meet for the first time. By the end of the day, they will both be charged with murder.”
I found this to be a dark, twisty and at times sad book.

First line: “Martin checks his watch.”

Having fun with this one ...

Meh. It was fine. 🤷🏻

I have the blahs. Maybe finishing this will help?

Meh. I skimmed a lot. I wanted to know the end, but not so much that I wanted to read every word.

Took a reading break to bake a low carb coffee cake, with cinnamon whipped cream. Back to the book now. I‘m determined to finish it today.

It‘s cold. But I don‘t have to go anywhere. So I‘m under a gazillion blankets. I put this book down awhile ago and forgot about it. It didn‘t really grab me. Maybe I‘ll finish it today.

I spent the afternoon audio-cleaning my kitchen. Even the inside of the freezer is sparkling. Taking a break from the audiobook, to charge my phone, and diving into this one.

Thanks to #TeamDracula, I bumped this audiobook up on my TBR! I enjoyed it but I think I would recommend the print version because some of the transitions between perspectives were a little confusing here... but the story itself is fascinating and I think will lead to good discussion! And, as always, it‘s great background for #AudioColoring

Set the deck up today, so I finally get to enjoy sitting outside! A little homemade strawberry ‘ice cream‘ and a book makes for such a relaxing afternoon.

I wasn‘t sure if I was going to like this book in the beginning. I was a bit confused about the characters from the past and present of the story. I got the hang of it and I‘m glad I stuck with it. I liked the 2 main characters and really enjoyed the ending. It was pretty moving for me considering it‘s a thriller.

Holy moly guys. ?
They just put out this "Witches Brew" blend in my building's coffee shop for the fall made of maple, brown sugar and walnuts.
It's freaking AMAZING!! ?
I'm in love❣

Waiting in line at the movie theatre for my bestie- we're going to see a free advanced screening of 'Home Again tonight.
So I figured I'd start my book club selection while she arrives. 🤓

You never know when you'll be able to squeeze in a little reading time! 😉
Happy marginal #ReadABookDay 🤗📖❤

Very pleased with my Labor Day weekend library haul which includes my book club's latest read, 'The Wicked Girls.'

But the one I've been anticipating the most of these has to be Nicci French's latest psychological thriller- her Freida Klein series is one of my top 5 favorite thriller series.

#augustgrrrl #badgirls
This book immediately sprang to mind as a really good thriller based on a crime committed by two young girls and what happens to them as adults- i must read more by the author as it was definitely a page turner.
I was also going to give a shout out for Alex by Pierre lemaitre who is a really exceptional heroine with a nasty side.

Update: Comma splices have added to the hardship.

I've been trying to read the book for three days. There are so many fragments that it hinders the reader from enjoying the book. I'm trying not to bail but lord it's hard.

Audiobook for my day full of running around doing errands. Storms are closer than they appear

My Timehop today was from our FL vacation three years ago and features Genevieve trying to read like her Aunt Emmy.

Just finished this one for a book club, and it was mediocre at best. It was fine, but not especially gripping. I didn't care about any of the characters, and none of them developed at all. I also saw the ending coming a mile away which was disappointing.

Slowly listening to Wicked Girls. So strange that this may be one of the last of the year! Anyone listen/read this book? What did you think?

Nope. Not doing a thing for me. Back to the bookshelves.

9 day weekend. Truevine isn't doing anything for me. I'm going to give this a try. I need something to pull me in.

I have only finished one book since school started. I'm in for a reading weekend. #HelloOctober

Traveling to DC for the National Book Festival. This is my travel reading material.

This is one of those stories that plays with you. And yes, it is set by the sea.

The book I'm currently reading takes place by the sea. It's like the line from Morrissey's song, "It's the costal town they forgot to close down." It takes place around an aging fun fair.

I'm in the mood for a disturbing little ditty.
