Welcome to Litsy!

I have lots of friends who LOVE her books and have been encouraging me to try one. So I did. This is not for me.

This past week I was on vacation and it rained for 4 days so what else was there to do but kick back and read! #28of2025

Ruth‘s memoir of her mother was a sad one. Feminist in nature, we get a glimpse into a life where choices for education, career, and marriage were not allowed. Miriam wanted more for her daughter than what she had; it wasn‘t until late in her life that she finally had some joy and the liberation she‘d always dreamed of. Only then did Ruth begin to understand her nature. I find it funny that Miriam was such an awful cook, and Ruth ended up⬇️

I read this solely because I was being lazy - it ticked off three prompts on the Goodreads reading challenges
Note to self: choose books because they genuinely interest you, not to satisfy a prompt.
This was repetitive, unintentionally funny in places, and I didn‘t like the writing style. The best review of it I‘ve seen is “if Temu wrote Misery”…

The story begins with a car accident that leaves the main character, Teagan, stranded in a remote forest with an injured foot when a huge nightmare of a man Hank rescues her and takes her home with him. But is Hank scary and evil? As the tension builds, layers of deception unravel, revealing that not everyone is who they seem. I was shocked by it all!

love the ending on this one…typical freida mcfadden plot twist #audiophile #readinglife #readinggoal

I'm still missing my friends after a weekend of fun. It's always hard to say good-bye, but there is always another visit to look forward to!

I would love to see this book used as a mentor text! I think students could enjoy writing through the POV of a random object in their life. For instance, an object in a thrift store like the type writer, or even their own pencil!
