Welcome to Litsy!

June 2025 Book #5 last book read this month, not much reading ☹️

I think I read this book out of order 🙄so that‘s why at the beginning I was confused with the original story because this novel is about one of the characters in the first novel. I still liked the twist in this novel. It was a sad twist. Not much to say because is part of a series. I will continue with the series 3.5/3.7⭐️

May 2025 Book #1

I really wanted to like this book but it was a little disappointed to me. It has mixed reviews, people love it or not. Well, I‘m one of those who didn‘t like it much. That beginning was just unrealistic and then even when it has creepy scenes, it didn‘t make any sense unless you “imagine” what you want to happen. For me was more like a mental health situation. No, it wasn‘t for me 2.5/3⭐️

May 2026 Book #6 (last one read this month, see I didn‘t read much this year)

My intention to read this book was to understand better James by Percival Everett who was the author on May. But it didn‘t happen, I haven‘t read James yet. Wow, this is a controversial story due to its racist content. You can read in GR a lot of comments in favor or con. So interesting in that way. But I try to read these type of books within the time frame ⬇️

#ToB26 #16

Two men have become friends at college. Turning 50, they still are. And so are their wives and daughters. During a weekend that the two families spend together something happens that changes everything. All of them have to decide what‘s true and what isn‘t and how to go on from here.

An interesting premise but the author needs way too many words to tell the story. That makes it
an okayish read but not a ToB-worthy one.

Here‘s my list, playing for the first time now that I may have figured it out. Not sure if the number has been picked yet. #BookSpin

Book #16 of 2025: “Spider Woman‘s Granddaughters”, edited by Paula Gunn Allen

I loved this book. Even the preface—especially the preface. I picked it up at a record store, of all places. A beautifully put together collection of stories by and about Indigenous women across North America. Do recommend.

I went to write my review of book 17 for #BobWhiteBuddies & realized I never reviewed #16 last month. Book 16 is a favorite of mine, I liked the mystery (even though it was pretty easy to solve) & how everyone got involved with determining poor “Janey‘s” identity. And any time we get to visit with Mrs. Vanderpoel, I‘m happy & want her to make me cookies.🍪This book marks the end of my hardback Trixie books so a bit sad.

I decided to read this Novella and liked the characters. My first book for #FoodandLitGreenland @Catsandbooks @Texreader #Read2025 @DieAReader #SeriesLove25 @TheSpineView @Andrew65 it's #16 of the series but it didn't matter. The story was interesting. #ISpyBingoMay gave me 1 bingo spot. @TheAromaofBooks
