Welcome to Litsy!

Mid-month #BookspinBingo check-in. I have that last book to make a bingo in progress.

This was such a fun coffee table book!

This book is just like the title suggests, good movies as old books. Essentially, movies turned into vintage book covers. The term “good movies” is subjective. The author states in his introduction, “These are films that made me laugh, cry, think, question, and celebrate” (pg. 7).

I‘ve often found spot-on advice from Jackson Galaxy‘s YouTube channel whenever I‘ve had any cat issues. Remember him from TV‘s Cat from Hell? Now I‘m learning so much more from his book: How to better understand Frost‘s natural instincts, how to read Frost‘s body language, how litterbox size does matter…especially with older cats. And the most important lesson of all: To always remember my husband & I are living in Frost‘s home! 😸

I kind of want this to win the Women's Prize. I do think The Safekeep is better and still have no idea why it didn't win the Booker.

How well do you actually know your best friends? Maybe not as good as you think. Three best friends go on a weekend trip to the Hamptons. They put a note on a car, but what happens next they never expected. I thought this was going to be better. It didn't keep my attention like I thought it would. I have been sick, so that could probably be it, bc I usually really like Burke's books.

This duology was quite entertaining. I know it's very popular and I liked it a lot but it didn't like blow my mind. I may need a break from the fantasy books if they're all starting to seem mediocre.

The thing I love about the Kate Burkholder Series is that Catillo always seems to grab me pretty quickly. The way she has developed Kate and John Tomasetti is extraordinarily well. Though she does make me laugh when Kate says how safe her job is. It cracks me up because she's the Police Chief of Planters Mill, Ohio, with a small force. I enjoy that she writes about the Amish, and I get to learn a little something about them. Planters Mill ⬇️

This is a DNF for now. I do hope to come back to it, but I‘m feeling a reading slump and dense fantasy is just not working for me right now. I‘ll probably come back to this in the summer, but off the TBR for now. #hailthebail #bookspinbingo!

I loved the 80s setting…brought back some memories for sure. This is a sad love story, but a really good one too.

This is a cute cozy fantasy. The cover and title got my attention.
