Welcome to Litsy!

Oops. I was searching for something else at the library (don‘t remember what) and this came up in the search results. I thought it sounded like fun so I put it on hold. Today I took it out to start reading and noticed the “author of” a book with a suspiciously similar name on the cover. Sure enough, this is book 2 in a series. Why don‘t they just say that in the cover/subtitle? 🙄 Thankfully my library does have book 1 so I have it on hold now!

This author wrote The Glass Castle, a book that stayed with me a long time. I thought this one would be good, it was. Set in the South when families ruled small communities, the story tells of Sallie Kincaid's life as the daughter of the town 'boss'. An engrossing story of how everyone lives were mixed up together in unexpected ways. This is a story of sometimes taking the law into your hands, when laws are unjust.
Recommend!

Has anyone taken advantage of this sale!?!?

Lots of great ones!

Couldn‘t finish it, the storyline is not for me personally.

This was a really interesting historical fiction story. I really liked how the story progressed from Sallie‘s childhood onward and the relationships she had throughout the book as her life changed. Very well written and an interesting read.

Bedtime reading. Good-night.

I picked this up because i loved Daryl Gregory‘s Spoonbenders. This is so much darker - but i loved it. I think it counts as Horror but compared to what @Reggie reads, its probably Rainbow Magic Fairies level 😂😂. But for anyone else - this is a dark twisty tale of Stella, an Appalachian moonshiner in 1948 who is drawn back to her childhood home for a funeral. Her family practiced their own secret religion out in the woods… ⬇️

This was good and kept my attention but there was a lot going on. Not my favorite of hers but still a pick.

This was a low pick. I love historical fiction and books about found families, but this story line just had too much going on.
