Welcome to Litsy!

Who knew?! I‘m so glad someone is keeping track of this for me! Thanks y‘all! Litsy has made these past three years truly unforgettable! ❤️😫📚

Today is my 3rd #Litsyversary 🥳🎈🎉! I love this community more than words can say. Thank you for a wonderful 3 years and here's to many more to come! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

(Btw the tagged book is a wonderful story, it was the first Moriarty book I read.)

Not my favourite Moriarty, but it was still a good listen. It‘s hard for an audiobook to keep my attention, but I had no problems with this one. It‘s cute and quirky.

Audio cooking. I usually have a hard time focusing on audiobooks, but this one is really good. I‘m having no problem paying attention.

A quirky mystery, a full cast of eccentric characters and a storyline full of drama, secrets with a good dose of humor speckled throughout, The Anniversary was a fun read that kept my attention. After having read several books by this author, it is clear that this is one of her earlier works, but enjoyable none the less.

When Sophie‘s ex-boyfriend‘s Great Aunt Connie leaves her something in her will, Sophie is just as surprised as Connie‘s family. When she decides to accept the inheritance, she begins a new life surrounded by an old family secret. What a fun, quirky, flawed group of characters. They come together perfectly, as I imagine Aunt Connie‘s marble cake did. I enjoyed my time with them, flaws and all, and appreciated the closing of the story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

My exciting Saturday night! We had so much fun celebrating hubby‘s bday last night with friends (thanks to our oldest taxiing us there and an Uber home). Tonight we had hubby‘s bday dinner with the kids: steamed crabs (it‘s a MD thing - no one does it like we do), grilled shrimp, roasted brussel sprouts, and of course beer to go with the crabs! Reading this book until my eyes close, with my constant companion. #hamiltonsighting #dogsoflitsy

Hubby and I took a long walk with the pup. Now I am relaxing and he‘s photobombed my background. Hamilton‘s making his bed in my reading chair. Oh, how I love that dog! ❤️🐩📚 #amreading #dogsoflitsy #poodlesoflitsy #hamiltonsighting

Walked for 45 minutes, now I‘m reading in the car during soccer practice. #momlife #soccermom ❤️📚⚽️

I‘m outside enjoying my porch again today. It‘s warm, but I love reading outside. Now if these mosquitoes would just leave me alone...

Lots of characters to keep straight from early on in this book. I had to sketch out a family tree cheat sheet! I think I‘ve got them all down, and I‘m quite curious as to how this will all play out.

Up next! There are 30 minutes left in the #reversereadathon and I am soaking up every last minute! @DeweysReadathon

This is one of my favorite books, & I decided to listen to the audiobook this time around. It holds up well and I once again had a huge smile on my face at the end of the book. I love all of the characters and the setting of the fictional Scribbly Gum Island in Australia. Bonus points for the awesome Australian accent in the audiobook. 5⭐️

I overuse the word cute too often, but it has to be said! This book is so cute! I loved every minute.

I love Moriarty‘s books and the way she tells stories! While this wasn‘t her best book, I still enjoyed her cast of varied characters and how she spun the mystery at the core of this story.

Afternoon snack while reading!

It was another fun read.

Definitely enjoyed it, but can't say I loved it. (Part of me just likes listening to the Australian accent on the#audiobook) 😁

Current #audiobook I get pulled into her stories so quickly!

I think I'm only a fan of half of Liane Moriarty's books. I devoured her most recent titles and started reading her older books. This is the second one I'm bailing on. Super disappointed, but got stick to my rules. Hook me by page 100 (read 159 of this one) or move along.

📚Book - The Last Anniversary

A decent family story with realistic varied characters, I found that “The Last Anniversary” couldn‘t impress me with its mystery, but kept me interested with its relationships & family dramas. I‘m intrigued by Liane Moriarty‘s writing and will keep her in mind for future reads, but this book was just too long & the predictable reveal of the Munro baby means this book is only getting three stars from me.

Find my full review on my blog 📚

This was her 2nd book. It was light , fluffy and very well written. Would be a perfect holiday read. It was a bit predictable but had an ending that I loved. Just a couple of her earlier books to catch up on. @MrsMalaprop

Fun, quick read after the last few sad picks. This is my second Moriarty, the other being Big Little Lies obvi, and I really enjoy her writing style. Will have to go back and find other titles!

Sitting here at jiffy lube trying to get ready for this long weekend

Reading this on my way home from my brothers law school graduation, a long and proud and emotional weekend!

Moriarty develops her characters with such raw and honest flaws but adds a touch of humor. This is a mystery of a couple that disappears from their island home leaving their newborn behind with the teakettle boiling and a warm cake on the counter. There is a crazy climax that clears up the mystery as all the other residents on the island come to terms with their part in the mystery. 4 1/2⭐️ #freakyfriday

Every tour there must be a freshly baked marble cake.

This teetered between a pick and a soso. So many characters to track-need a map ?! The mysteries and memories abound! This is my first LM book. Not my favorite but still good ? , with some lovely surprises.
"Love is a decision."

Good story.. the characters weren‘t as engaging as some of her other books and I was hoping for a bit more from the ending, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Not much of an ebook reader but the power has been out for nearly 12 hours, so glad I can read on my phone in the dark.

Let me begin by saying I highly enjoyed the author‘s books The Husband‘s Secret and Big Little Lies. This was only a so-so. I read part and listened to part and skimmed to the end. Just too sappy and irritating , for lack of a better term. Just get on with it. Too much babbling. Maybe it‘s my mood but this just wasn‘t doing much for me. On to the next. 3⭐️

Loved this! I don't think it started out as strongly as it finished, but I do so adore the Moriarty "formula." That is: wide cast of interconnected characters, each with their own intricate story, bound together by some domestic mystery, that comes to fruition at some big event. I will be sad when I'm done with her books!

Next up ?

Two books I have to buy today for Kindle. They are both on sale today only for Kindle and iBooks. 👍 #BookHaul #BookSale

Heads up! My absolute favorite Liane Moriarty book is on sale today for $1.99! If you haven't read this yet, I would highly recommend it. It has a great cast of quirky characters and is set in the fictional Australian town of Scribbly Gum Island (great name, huh?). The ending had me laughing like an idiot for 10 minutes straight! 😂🤣😅

A friend at work was having a clear out of her shelves, so I got first dibs to have a root through and picked these 5 to bring home. I have loved every Liane Moriarty book I have come across, and John Grisham can usually be relied upon. I‘ve never heard of the others though, but their subject matter caught my attention. Have any of you Littens out there read any of these? I‘d love to hear about it!

Not my favorite of Liane Moriarty's books, but an enjoyable one nonetheless.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ this was really so-so for me. While the writing was great, I didn't feel the story moved at a pace that held my attention. A lot of characters in this book, and unfortunately I didn't connect with any of them. I also found the mystery to be lacking and slightly predictable. #thelastanniversary #review

Listening while I work on this snowy morning

This is an earlier book of hers. I can see her writing style developing. Not her strongest but I do enjoy her characters and how their humanity with all its flaws is portrayed.

"Love is a decision"
I always say it's about what you can and can't live with! #thelastanniversary #Saturday

There was a moment, during the first half of the book, where I thought this was going to be my first disappointing book by LM - but, fortunately, that thought didn't last very long! This ended up being another fun, funny, enjoyable & suspenseful book by ML. Love her!!!

Love her sense of humour.

My trip is booked! 🤣
