Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Chase‘s latest is another solidly entertaining dual timeline/dual perspective story. Siblings Maggie & Kit are especially close—though their small family certainly has more than its share of secrets. In 2019, a phone call from the past has put Maggie in a tailspin, leaving Paris to return to England. Kit, now in antiques, has also been searching through the past & his own fragmented memories of the time when their mother failed to come home.

This started so confusing and after the first 5 chapters I gave up… not used to doing this so idk what to do … sucks

February 2025 Book #3

A contemporary chick lit where Felicia, an unsecured, immature character constantly take bad decisions that jeopardized her marriage, her emotional and physical security…and you, as a reader, will feel frustrated and mad during all this drama. Male figures here are terrible, abusive. Sexual abuse was minimized by family. Maybe the ending was a small step for Felicia start to grow up. Maybe this was the part that I liked⬇️

I love books with a strong sense of place, and this one did not disappoint. The author did a wonderful job of depicting life on a remote island, complete with island traditions, food, and a cast of quirky characters. This setting, along with the growth in confidence of the main character, a bit of romance, and the revelation of some long-buried secrets made for a very enjoyable read.

I did skim parts of the first of the book, so I did miss a few things. I liked one thing that happened, when so many novels would go the other way. I think I liked it because the author made sure that the reader understood, whereas so many other books wouldn‘t go into it. I also liked the ecological slant to the story (though that wasn‘t explored in a lot of detail, but it still appealed to me).

I‘m really looking forward to traveling to the glorious fictional island of Tuga for #FictionalTraveler this month! What will everyone else be reading for the #Island prompt?

Poppy and her family have been on the run for all of her 17 years. But she has no idea why. Her parents are loving but they insist on living by a very strict set of rules. Feeling constrained and longing for more, Poppy bends the rules and sees a world of opportunity. But can she risk her family‘s safety for her own freedom? This was excellent. Really enjoyed it.
