Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ June‘s #DoubleSpin

Leah‘s daughter returns home after being gone for 5 years living on a cultish commune with her batshit father.

I think this book‘s WTF-am-I-reading-page-turn-ability helps to gloss over some of the flaws of this book. Ex: The daughter in this book reads like a 13 year old during a time where she is written to be 18, plotholes, flat writing at times, etc.

I‘ve decided to listen to this audiobook while also listening to Dickens‘ Little Dorrit audiobook depending on my mood. This one is short and I miss Italy. I also need to read another #Italy book for #foodandlit as we celebrate #Jubilee all year long! @Catsandbooks I also need a #letterF for #litsyatoz

A slow meander through a fictional look at the start of Hollywood, with a sprinkling of nostalgia for the silent film industry. Doreen O‘Dare is the fictionalized portrayal of Colleen Moore, a silent film actress and the creator of the Fairy Castle. Reading this book makes me want to watch silent films! A good choice for #SundayBuddyRead .

Loved this slow burn hockey romance. Nothing like a tortured hero. The plot really worked for me and I loved both of the main characters. Looking forward to reading the next book in this series. 4 ⭐

This is the last book I completed in 2024. It is a soft pick for me. While I liked the characters, the plot felt forced. I also wanted more development. A fluff read for sure with a bit of steam. I was in the mood for a quick easy read and this fit the bill. 3.5 ⭐ #20in4 @Andrew65 #ReadOutThe Old @thearomaofBooks #ChristmasAtoZ @Texreader #LetterF #SugarRush @BookwormJillk

With only one mystery to solve, most of this book 5 in the series is about Mma Ramotswe‘s feelings about her fiance Mr JLB Matekoni‘s failing to set a wedding date and his inability to stand up for himself. He faces the biggest fear of his life when he fails to say no when the orphan farm manager Mma Potokwane tells him he must jump from a plane with a parachute for a fundraiser. And it makes headline news in the Gabarone newspaper! ⬇️

It really wasn‘t as good as the first 1 which had a lot of world building & character development. This one now didn‘t need to set that up there could have been more action, trials, conflict, etc ESPECIALLY being written as a duology -I expected more. It‘s wasn‘t bad, but just kind of meandered.
