Welcome to Litsy!

I don‘t agree with Baldacci that she‘s the “Agatha Christie of our generation” but this was a competent thriller and I enjoyed it more than her last two. Golden girl, April Clarke-Clivedon was murdered while a student at Oxford. It was her roommate, Hannah Jones‘s testimony that convicts a smarmy college porter of the crime. Protesting his innocence to the last, he dies in prison and now Hannah is questioning her memories of the crime.

3rd book read during #SuperSeptember Readathon @Andrew65
I liked this one but not loved it. I liked the mystery, how it was developed and some parts of the end. I was not connected in that relationship between Hannah and Will. Sometimes I couldn‘t stand Hannah and her irresponsible decisions during her pregnancy. Maybe who did it was for me an old cliché used in thrillers. But I like this author writing style. I enjoyed the audiobook. 3.7/3.8⭐️

I enjoyed this one! It took me a bit to get into it, but once I did I could scarcely put it down. I will continue to order Ruth Ware‘s books cold.

All my holds came in at the same time. Hopefully I get this book read soon. Work puts a crimp in my reading 📖 🤣💚🐉

I‘ve been painfully distracted lately. This is the longest book “rut” I‘ve been in, in years. Not for want of excellent / enjoyable books!!

Listening to The It Girl… unfortunately bc of my inability to focus on reading lately, I‘m about to lose it to the list of holds, and I‘m only about 20% done. Enjoying it so far though!

This brilliant memoir, however, has really captured my attention, and I‘m almost done… review to come. #RealLifeBookGroup

I added a Buy Me A Coffee link to my blog. Some people use it to fundraise, but I'd like you to actually buy me a coffee lol. Include your favorite coffee drink and where it's from and I'll use the money you send to get the drink or try to make it myself.

I thought it's a cute idea haha.

Set at Oxford this book follows Hannah, a shy bookish girl and her “IT GIRL” roommate, April. The format is dual timelines; their first semester at Oxford (2012) ending in Murder and 2022 - 10 years past the murder.
My issue with this book was it‘s length. It dragged on FOREVER. Last 100 pages were engaging but ultimately couldn‘t save this book for me. A low pick.

VERY slow going!!! The buildup is dragging- if not for a review, I would probably set this aside for now 🤷🏼‍♀️ #SoManyBooksSoLittleTime

#UpNext I‘m a big fan of Imogen Church 🎧I won a physical copy through GoodReads but my book got lost in the mail so I was happy to find the audio available on #Scribd

I had the privilege of meeting Ruth Ware last week during her book tour for her book, It Girl. She was positively amazing. ❤️📚✨

This week's #bookhaul
Got my #BOTM books I read the tagged as an arc and had to have it for my Ware collection! So good!
Excited to dig into the rest as soon as I get through these library books that are staring at me.

Starting this one today. So excited!
