Welcome to Litsy!

It took me a while to understand. I thought I was to nominate for a vote of best books. I understand now. I nominate Fagin the Thief, Death of the Author (tagged- Author of Binti trilogy and Akata Witch), Snowy Day (translated from Korean, published in US Feb. 2025), and Harlem Rhapsody. #CampLitsy @Megabooks @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB

This was a vivid and luxurious read. The hotel had so much detail and excitement. I loved the characters. This was a much more exciting story than I expected it to be. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rolo and I are reading on the couch in between bouts of changing laundry from the washer to the dryer.

I devoured this book in two sittings only because it was midnight on a work night when I hit 200 pages. Many emotions circled through as I read this story as it completely pulled me under. The power women took back despite the little power they had was a testament to their strength.

I understand why this book is so well received. It deserves all the hype. Well written and totally engaging.

A wonderful, warm and heartfelt story about four friends in NYC, but centering on the main character Artie, a gay man who has turned sixty and doesn‘t know how to pick his life back up again after all his loved ones have passed away. In chapters alternating between the 1980‘s and the present time, written in gentle prose, we learn how he copes.

A car accident that goes nowhere. Exploding oranges meant to be planted “in strategic spots“ at the Kennedy Space Center. 😳 Horrible house hosts at an orange grove farm. A tour-travelogue-like press release of the space center and museum. Tear gas in Nancy and her friend's faces at a photo-op. Ned & Nancy almost drowning in a vat of boiling water. Way. Too. Much. Going. On. And too over-the-top for me. On to book 19!

When Lu, a young photographer struggling to make ends meet,accidentally captures her neighbours' young son falling to his death, she is faced with a huge dilemma...

1. I still can cry over BREAKING THE CHAIN: THE GUARD DOG STORY: a comic book by Patrick McDonnell, the creator of MUTTS. So poignant!
2. The tagged: THE MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO. #ugh I couldn't even get through this one with the #hashtagbrigade! That's really saying something! 🤣
