Welcome to Litsy!

In times of famine everyone with a family becomes a guardian and a thief. That‘s what this book shows the reader by setting a story in a near future India, where Ma is trying to get her father and daughter on a plane to the US while Boomba is trying to take care of his family. It‘s a sad and harsh read and it feels awfully plausible.

The irony of sitting on my patio in beautiful weather, with access to all the snacks and drinks I want while I finish reading this book was not lost on me. It's honestly still incredible what Geldof managed in a very short time period and even more amazing tjat most of tje world has totà‘y forgotten about it in the time since. #33-2025

The fun sequel I‘ve been waiting for. GUP is back and I loved him just as much as before. His humor is on par and his witty rules of life are what I needed. “He was done being sad” 💜Book #33 in 2025

3.5 Stars • "The House of Cross" (Alex Cross #33) by James Patterson follows FBI contractor Alex Cross as he investigates a serial killer targeting Supreme Court candidates amid a president-elect‘s inauguration. When his wife Bree and partner John Sampson vanish while pursuing the murderer, known as "M" or "Maestro," Cross must unravel a conspiracy threatening the judicial system, rescue his loved ones, and survive a deadly trap. ⬇️

This is one of my favorites, if not my most favorite, in the Discworld series. Pratchett hit the nail on the head again. His take on government is spot on. As usual, there are laughs throughout the story. 4.5 ⭐

Possibly the scariest book I read this month. Definitely the scariest cover!

This was okay. This woman goes in a journey to find the golden beetle which at the end is a way to discover herself. Characters and situations seem not realistic and situations were ridiculous. You still have some funny parts and quotes to think about but in general not a great story for me. The gifts in this box were neither great or practical. 3⭐️
