Welcome to Litsy!

Well, she made it to another book 💕 we celebrate the little things now #dogsoflitsy #grammaslibrary

This book…..heartbreaking, inventive, nuanced, poetically written. I loved it. Your heart will shatter for Rory Dawn but you will also find her extremely intelligent and resilient. The amount of dysfunction this child suffers is soul crushing but she persists. I really would love to see a follow up on this book. #Reno

Conceptually, this book is fantastic, and the fact that it highlights young women boxers is exceptional. I bear some responsibility for my somewhat “meh“ reaction to the book as I have very little interest in boxing, and I'm sure that sullied my reaction a bit. #TOB2025 #TOB25 Full review: https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/3934124522060211942/278442361882261270

3.5⭐(Light Pick)
This had interesting characters and a compelling premise. It started strong but then dragged in the middle, and while the action eventually picked up, some elements became too over-the-top for my taste.
🎙️Even though my interest waned when this story got a little wonky, I‘m still all in on Graphic Audio doing thrillers. Please do more of them.

This weekend was my bookclub's second annual retreat. We stay in a beautiful old farmhouse that has a huge kitchen with couches and a fireplace. Its a wonderful weekend filled with reading, laughter and great company
I devoured the tagged book this weekend. Great storyline!

It was good, but didn't quite live up to the author‘s Crimson Lake books. Maybe because those books are about a specific duo, with other characters in their orbit, and while this one also has what I would consider to be two main characters, the focus constantly shifted to other characters. Or maybe the characters in this one just weren't as appealing. Still worth reading though.

By far my favorite Donlea book

Dr. Sloan Hastings, a forensic pathology fellow whose personal DNA project turns her life upside down. When her test results reveal she‘s actually “Baby Charlotte” — the child at the center of a decades-old Nevada disappearance — Sloan is pulled into a web of family secrets, murder, and small-town corruption.
