Welcome to Litsy!

6th book read from the Women‘s Prize for fiction-long list
😬Sorry this one didn‘t work for me. I‘m not a fan of novels about sport even though the story has other topics. I wasn‘t interested in the story and I couldn‘t believe so decision made. 2.5/3⭐️

Interesting HF inspired by true event where a woman was sentenced to be executed in the maiden, a guillotine used at that time. The story fictionalized the life, affair and sentence this woman. Interesting but also a sad story. Trigger point, sexual and physical abuse. However I thought, why this novel was in the Women‘s Prize fiction long list? I‘m not an expert but author describes so well each character giving them an unique/different voice⬇️

Not a bad book to listen to...listened to better ones

I love Robert Munsch. We found a bunch at Walmart the other day, and I'm loving reading my way through this little stack of treasure. #18-2024

This is the “books that have been neglected on my tbr shelf for a long-ass time” edition. I think #18 has been on there for 20 years. 😂

#18 The third book in the Stormlight Archive series, this is the best of Sanderson‘s Cosmere series so far IMO, but was a long read at 1242 pages. Some humorous moments, some edge of the seat moments, and lots of flawed characters acting honorably at critical moments. 4.0⭐️ #2024

We finally finished this one! My husband and I started listening to this last July and will only listen to it during road trips.

Andy Serkis did a fantastic job but it's not easy to listen to this in a long sitting. We found ourselves constantly drifting with this one, which is not good for those who are driving. It was best to listen little by little.

This was a re-read for me but the hubby's first.

More than I ever thought I wanted to know about tennis, but through a great story about a fictional tennis star from the 70s-90s. Full of heart and wonderful. Carrie is def a b, as noted throughout, and hard to like but given her upbringing I get it. A tribute to all female athletes who blazed the hard fought trail!!! Book #18 in 2024

Now this is the Riley Sager I LOVE. His earlier stuff is definitely my favorite - this was no exception. Loved it! #readyourkindle #18

Here are my #ReadYourKindle books for February:

12 Selling Hope
14 Mrs. Narwhal‘s Diary
17 The Secret Keeper
18 When Franny Stands Up

I previously said I was going to read #12 first, but I‘ve decided to switch to #18 (the tagged book) instead, in an effort to kill two birds with one stone. 😄 #NetgalleyBacklog
