Welcome to Litsy!

This is *not* the intergenerational friendship story the blurb promises; I think the marketing dept. had no idea what to do with it. It's pretty dark, but also tender; I was thoroughly engrossed but left going “I don't know how to feel“ by the end. The messages about loving books and the vagaries of fandom are very mixed. (Perhaps inevitable for an book written in these times.)

Good read in the "Who Was" series for kids 9-11 who enjoy books like "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory." Dahl had an adventurous life, made a comment or 2 he rightfully had to apologize for, and lost family members to illness/accidents. This is explained in kid-friendly ways, but too complicated for kids under 9. 4.5 stars. #kidlit #roalddahl

I didn't realize this was a murder mystery. I tried to stick it out, but I just don't care.

The first book I read this year is The Woman in Cabin 10. I had it on my shelf for a long time and finally decided to read it. I was immediately sucked into the story. With every chapter I was more surprised. I really did not see it coming. Especially not this ending. It was really quite a surprise. However, the story is missing a little something to give it a fifth star.

Very quirky book. Hard to follow at times but I think that‘s an intentional perspective of the author. Liked it but didn‘t love it

I soft released a book on Wattpad! It is a poetry collection. A new poem is published every Tuesday and Thursday, until the book is released in full. By then I‘ll be turning it into a physical collection as well. Titled: Saltwater by CordeliaGrey Oriana Allen. You can find it by searching my name or the title and part of my name. Pic is original art by me as well ✨🫶🏼 #poetry #author #grief #loss #love #motherhood
