Welcome to Litsy!

I am all about smut, but I didn‘t expect this to be all sex, all time.

A new day, a new book to read!

The most cohesively cowritten novel I have ever read! Sometimes a cowritten voice can fall flat and lack distinction, but Besser and Feste managed to fuse in a way that felt singular. Dirty Diana is a brilliantly woven patchwork quilt that explores themes of female desire, friendship, marriage, gender, social hierarchy, art, and identity. Who are we and what should we demand of this lifetime? What are we entitled to and what should we tolerate?

I‘m so far behind! Hence the mug ! 😄I want to spend more time reading and on Litsy, I just got my Christmas tree up yesterday! 🎄This week working on these, and one other ,a composite biography of F.Scott Fitzgerald.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Calling all fans of Esther Perel and Couples Therapy! This alluring debut felt so real, raising questions about desire and self-discovery, exploring the line between passion and stability. I‘m intrigued to see where the story goes in the next two installments, and we won‘t have to wait too long - it looks likes they‘re both out next year! #BOTM

#BOTM maybe these will distract me from my general angst. #BookMail is the best mail! The struggle is real trying to downsize book collection while buying more books 📚 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

The comp to “Couples Therapy” in the #BOTM blurb solidified “Dirty Diana” as my pick!

I also had to pick up the sequel to “What the River Knows”. I‘ve been hanging from that cliffhanger for about a year! 😆

I wanted to like this so much more. I spoiled the book for myself by listening to the podcast first…I was most interested in reading the women‘s stories and those are all on the podcast.

The only part I really enjoyed was the flashback for Diana…that‘s not on the podcast.

Overall, it is a good read if you go to it blindly.

Book 100 of 2024!!! 🎉📚🙌🏽

I received this ARC a few weeks ago and I was immediately intrigued! I had never heard of this podcast so I looked it up and started listening, and it‘s so good. Still have about 2 episodes left, but I couldn‘t wait to start the book.

And this cover? Gorgeous ❤️
