Welcome to Litsy!

I had no idea when I requested this audiobook from the library it was nearly 19 hours long. I probably would‘ve skipped it, but I‘m really loving it 🥰 Narration is SUPERB🎧🙌🏻 Chose for #IspyBingo curtain and #52Books September mini challenge #BookBeginsWithProperNoun

#Booked2023 #AfroFuturism #52Books #OctaviaButler I was worried about these prompts as I don‘t really enjoy Sci-Fi or fantasy but this Graphic Novel adaptation was really wonderful. I thought the artwork and story boards were beautifully done. It was so eerie to see how intuitive Octavia But.er was regarding the “future” (2024) of the world, specifically the United States. So glad I was able to borrow via #Hoopla.

I was so close to bailing when a very unexpected twist occurred that made me want to see this book through to the end. It does read a bit YA which I hadn‘t found in previous books from Jennifer Weiner but she managed to pull off a fun and interesting 🐥 lit mystery🩷Good choice if you‘re looking for a beach read🏖️ A plus size influencer gets drawn back into a toxic friendship with her HS nemesis when she asks her to be in her wedding party.

I really enjoyed this multi cast audio book about the disappearance of a teenage girl during a family Caribbean vacation. Told mostly through the voice of her younger sister we also hear from other‘s who were on the island at the time. #Booked23 # SunshineNoir #52Books #publishedbyMacMillan

This was no more and no less than what I expected. An entertaining romp with a small side of historical facts about Britain‘s Married Women‘s Property Act. It is a gentle reminder of the women who came before who paved the way.

I enjoyed this book about Cuba‘s struggle for independence from Spain told from the prospective of 3 different woman. My only criticism is there was jumping around on the timeline that took me out of the story a couple of times. #TitlesandTunes I LOVE the Island Vibe playlist! My 31/52 book for #52books #SetduringawarnotWWIorII

It took me a long time to finish this audio book. My commute is only 20 minutes each way and I wasn‘t interested in listening at any other time. It is my first Ware and likely my last. I did like the MC Hal but it felt too long to get to the big finish. It does ticks some challenge boxes.

Grief is so very personal. Adichie writes her personal story about losing her father and the grief that followed. It‘s a very intimate story. Maybe I was looking for consolation or similarities because I lost my father too, but I didn‘t really find them. That doesn‘t make the book less good. Adichie‘s recount is very touching and I still ended up a little teary. Like her, I still am “my father‘s daughter”.

This is such a cool book. A family moves to a deserted house where a murder took place years before. A sex obsessed father, a mother who tries to save their marriage and their smart lovely kid, who is intrigued by the murder. More characters are introduced as is the sleepy town of Broken River, almost ghost town like. The setting, the atmosphere, the characters, the plot, the genre bending: it‘s all so good!!
