Welcome to Litsy!

Finished this on the first day of Fall and it‘s a fitting transitional read. Set in the Texas hill country, a tragedy at a lavish sweet 16 birthday party in a literal glass mansion reveals way more than just the mystery of who fell and how. The party is full of liars, secrets, possible foul play suspects, and maybe a ghost.👻 I was pleasantly surprised that I was questioning what the truth was until the end. 4⭐️s!

The camera did not do a great job of showing the pretty foil #aardvarkbookclub edition of this book. So pretty.

Received #AardvarkBookClub books (*so* impossible to pick just 3 this month!) *and* #FallingforFallSwap #fffs “medium” package (2&2 size) today — @MrsGagnonreads2024 I‘m so intrigued!!

Also sent my own FFFS packages (a 2&2 and a 3-4&3-5) last night! 👏🏼👏🏼

This book is a powerful example of how storytelling can be both transportive and informative - shedding light on the historical and ongoing impacts of systemic racism, offering education and humanization. It was brutal to read at times, but also impactful and important. The ending had me completely hooked. Days later, I‘m still haunted by this brilliant ghost story. #Aardvark #AardvarkBookClub

I have never read a Chuck Tingle before even though all his books sound so interesting (I am not a big fan of any body horror) but I was seduced by this gorgeous special edition and the intriguing premise of the book, that I cracked for my September #aardvarkbookclub pick.
I also checked out some reviews and trigger warnings. I know what scene to skip over and was advised that this one is lighter on the body horror than his others. 🤞

Continuing my birthday month book spree! 😄 #Aardvark #AardvarkBookClub

Original, suspenseful, darkly funny, and just a lot of freaking fun! Lottie Jones is a fantastic, memorable, iconic character who you somehow (?!) want to root for. I‘m not sure I‘m ready to let her go! Cancel all other plans once you start this one - you won‘t want to put it down! #Aardvark #AardvarkBookClub

August will have some mood reads for #bookspin and #doublespin

I'm thinking maybe The Big Four (#bookspin / #christiescapers) and Too Old for This (#doublespin #aardvarkbookclub). Though I might change my mind when the time comes; who knows 🤷.

I knew @AardvarkBookClub wouldn‘t disappoint this month. I am so looking forward to this one! 🔪 😁 #aardvarkbookclub

Three picks for August #aardvarkbookclub.
