so-so

This book was okay. I had a hard time liking the main couple. Their 'issues' seemed very contrived and I started to get really irritated by them. The case they were working on was a bit on the confusing side too. Not the best I've read by Jamie Mcguire, but at least she's the same age as me, so I'm able to use this for the #LitsyReadingChallenge #LRC16

Six-Gun Snow White | Catherynne M. Valente

pick

This was a gritty and fascinating retelling of Snow White in the Wild West.

Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body | Kate Hudson

Thanks, Goldie Hawn, for giving birth to your daughter in 1979. I‘ve been working with incorrect information all year as to Owen King‘s age. Since he‘s 40, he won‘t fit into the “someone your age” spot after all! Fortunately, I had this backup read in March!

Challenge Accepted: A Finnish Immigrant Response to Industrial America in Michigan's Copper Country | Gary Kaunonen

Doing some #challengechecking for the first time in a while. I haven't hit bingo yet in my #LitsyReadingChallenge, but I just filled out what matched with what I read.

I do need some help with #LRC16 - do any of you have any recommendations for books published when the author was 24/25 years old? I have tried googling, but I would love some more recommendations if any of you got some 🙏

Martta I found this list: http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2013/01/25-best-novels-written-by-writers-und... 7y

Kalalalatja @Martta Yay! There's some good ones on it, so thank you! 7y

jenniferw88 Or you could interpret it as a book that was published in the year of your birth - for example I'm doing this for 1990

Martta I have been thinking about the same problem and I found couple of good choises for myself as well from there. 7y

Cinfhen Like how you checked your boxes! 7y

jfalkens Where do you get the Litsy bingo sheet? 7y

Kalalalatja @jfalkens if you go to @jessica there's a link for the goodreads page where you can download it 👍 7y

jfalkens @Kalalalatja thank you 😊 7y

minkyb Great list @Martta !👏🏻 7y

dylanisreading I think Taran Matharu's first book was traditionally published when he was 24 (!).

The Novice: Summoner: Book One

Moray_Reads I think this was written when Helen Oyeyemi was 25

White is for Witching

Moray_Reads And Michael Chabon's first when he was 25

Mysteries of Pittsburgh

Kalalalatja @Cinfhen pic-collage all the way! And glad you liked it, because it took me soooo long 😄😄 7y

Kalalalatja @Martta 👍👍 @Bianca sounds good! @Moray_Reads thanks for all the food recommendations! They all sound amazing 👏 7y

Salt Houses | Hala Alyan

Guys, I'd already been so excited to read Alyan's novel and then I learned (courtesy of @thereadingwomen ) that she's my age! She's also stunningly gorgeous, but there isn't a reading challenge prompt for "written by an author you find attractive". I've digressed...

Yay, reading challenges!

#LitsyReadingChallenge #LRC16

RealLifeReading Ok I might just use that as a prompt for next month... 😀 7y

saresmoore @RealLifeReading I think that would be a lot of fun, actually! 7y

Suet624 Just had to laugh when I read this. 😂😂 7y

KVanRead @saresmoore @RealLifeReading that would be an awesome prompt 😍 7y

saresmoore @Suet624 I just knew you'd understand. 😂 7y

saresmoore @KVanRead I think it might reveal some interesting tastes! 7y

shawnmooney I am really curious about this one too! But I've got this classic of Palestinian lit on my pile and will probably read it first:

Gate of the Sun

saresmoore @shawnmooney Well, that sounds like a must-read! Still, Elias Khoury is not nearly as pretty as Hala Alyan. Just saying. 😉 7y

I have many, many thoughts about this book, the only postable of which is: I did NOT enjoy it at all.
