Welcome to Litsy!

Currently reading.

I‘m in one of those moods where I really don‘t know what I feel like reading next (which is rare for me). I‘ve had this copy of Gillespie and I sitting on my shelves for years and somehow its time has come. 😆

Took me a full 30 minutes to decide on my next read...this one seems to tick several boxes for me...artists, an independent woman of means, London/Glasgow, tragedy, mystery, a “chilling tale” 📖
One blurb even calls it “literary crack cocaine”☠️

I was having a clear out & came across some old uni notes discussing unreliable narrators. I was obviously in my Wuthering Heights phase as I referenced that A LOT! 🤣

Of more recent times I really enjoyed the unreliable narrator of this novel. And when I say enjoy she made me want to scream & bang my head against the wall! 😡😱😳🤯

Any recs for other good examples of unreliable narrator stories? Tag me your favourites.

My To Be Read list is so long I had #forgotten this was on it. One day, one day....

Well, this had its share of twists and turns! Harriet Baxter tells her story of her friendship with the Gillespies, and the reader sees all is not what it seems...definitely an unreliable narrator. There are parts of this story that seem long and drawn out, but I enjoyed it overall.

This is a little over 500 pages in length. I have about 120 pages to go, so I consider myself in #thefinalcountdown . I hope to finish this up today! #rocktober

I'm nowhere near #chapter20 in this read, but once I reach it, it looks like I have about 100 more pages to go. #autumnreads

Tuesday night...reading and baseball (with #Zeke trying to figure out what #Vladimir is doing). #catsoflitsy

Caturday morning reading. #Zeke #Vladimir #catsoflitsy

I really enjoyed the writing in that the MC was fully developed, as was the setting. Harris did a nice job of hinting at the mystery coming, but but but but, it took exactly half of the novel to get to the tragic event. So much in the first half didn't seem necessary for the novel to work. The trial section was tedious & I skimmed. But the end is a little ambiguous 👍🏾and left me wondering about narrator reliability.

My current bookmark. ☺️ Bought a few of these made out of recycled book spines this summer from a shop that sold only handmade recycled items. Fun place!

A watercolor bookmark that I'm reluctant to take out of the sleeve and actually use. Reminds me of our favorite front range places. 💜 #bookmarks

I love Harriet Baxter's tongue in cheek humor. I'm afraid I'm too busy with novels to have a fern collection...

#lyricalapril The prompt #amIwrong made me think of unreliable narrators. Here's a few I've read with narrators who might be telling you the wrong things...
