Welcome to Litsy!

What an exciting political thriller!

The best part of the book were the characters. I loved the two main characters, Kostas and Jessica. Sometimes in thrillers characters can take a backseat to the action of the story, but not here. They were well developed and I loved their bond.

The story was well crafted. It was fast paced and had short chapters.

The three rating choices are just not sufficient for my feelings about this book. Will try to say more later. Right now I'm rereading the ending, because I read it on Ambien. 😂

Currently listening to this on audio…it took a hot second to get used to the format. It‘s our December book club pick.

#10BeforeTheEnd

4 more weeks for the #10BeforeTheEnd challenge and I‘m actually feeling pretty good about it.

Currently reading 10 pages a day in Catherine The Great and should be done around the 18th.

And, I‘m about 20% into Americanah

Hoping to finish strong! @ChaoticMissAdventures

While this uplifting,gem of a novel is about the effect of books on people,mostly it is about the friendship that blossoms between Carl, an elderly book walker book walker a Schascha, a precocious 10-year-old girl. Together, they walk the streets at night to deliver books curated by Carl to shut-ins.Themes include the magic of reading,the power books to unite people & form friendships, & the power of books to create community.#10BeforetheEnd

Just starting this one. I love the cover 😍

I read Amazing Grace Adams a little while ago and it was a low pick for me, although it has stuck in my head so obviously memorable! I‘ve been looking forward to reading this. #10beforetheend

I‘m joining all the fun things late!
