Welcome to Litsy!

Loved Small Things and then have made my way through Keegan's other books. Her writing is so spare and profound. Really love all her stuff.

I think I‘ve finally decided on my last #bookspin list for 2024. Considering how I‘ve struggled to stick with any books this month, I don‘t have high hopes for making a dent on this list next month. We‘ll see.

Thanks for continuing to host this Sarah. I enjoy putting together the graphics even if I don‘t manage to read the books. 😂

My 12th from the #Booker #longlist. One more to go.

A sensitive thriller? A low-level violent drug-deal abduction, that becomes very interested in the sensitive nature of its characters. The pacing is careful but controlled. When we want it to move on, it holds its course. Be patient dear reader. I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this collection of pandemic stories, even though---like the days during lockdown---the stories tend to blend into one another. In these stories, Doyle explores with sensitivity issues of connection, estrangement, vulnerability, mental illness, substance abuse, and grief. I know a lot of people still don't like revisiting that time, but I find it intriguing and therapeutic to look back at those years that have influenced so much.

Solid pick. Rural Ireland crime drama with believable flawed characters; great writing.

4.0 ⭐️

This was a great conclusion to the book installments of this series. It surprised me how much darker this was than the other books and even the series. I loved the amount of #Irish #folklore in this and even the tie in to Chicago‘s St Patty‘s celebrations. I wish there were more in their series but I‘m really happy with how this ended.

See, collar off. 🐕

Starting my 12th from the Booker longlist.
