Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this one. A very honest, brutal story of a suffering family.

Some of my favorites right here 🥰

I really enjoyed this book, I do like Lucy a lot. It was easy to read and short. This is only the second book from the Booker Prize I have read. Not reading the whole list only what I can get my hands on from the library.

My daughter was reading this for summer reading in middle school and needless to say I read it in an hour. Sooo good, haunting and brought me back to that horrific day.

Seventh grader, Jane Brannen, wants nothing more than to become a famous author like Jane Austen — she just needs to figure out the key to literary success!

This was a cute, little middle-grade story that I would recommend to any young reader.

I sliced my right thumb with a very sharp knife- all taken care of; steri stripped, etc. I cannot get it wet. Not a drop.
It‘s a challenge! I am grateful for my family who are picking up the slack.

This book. I adore it.

I really enjoyed this book. It opens with Maya, the third wife, walking in front of a bus and dying. Was it an accident or intentional? What is really going on with this family? And the rest of the book explores those questions. We meet the two ex-wives and the five kids. We flashback to when Maya was alive. Great ending!
