Welcome to Litsy!

Lovely days reading and finished this one 😁
I‘m working my way through Moss‘s back catalogue that I haven‘t read.
There‘s not much of a plot, but beautiful, insightful writing as always.

I‘m on a day reading retreat in a hotel in Liverpool 😁

This book was ponderous and annoying. I picked it for my book club and was almost immediately sorry. But I persisted and finished it!

The Wild Inside doesn‘t make a lot of sense and contains animal abuse that isn‘t contained just to “the wild.”

Burn had an interesting premise but didn‘t really live up to it, and I‘m probably done with Peter Heller.

The Darkness was great until the ending, and that‘s all I can really say. 🤬

After an attempt to kidnap a student at Miles Flint's daughter's school, the principal asks him to find out who the would-be kidnappers were and to beef up the security system at the school.

For a novella, this story keeps the reader on their toes with shifting sympathies all the way through.

A husband decides to buy a boat and sail around the world with his wife and two small children. He‘s a bit of a jerk, and she‘s a hot mess. Throw in some storms, trouble with the boat, and a mysterious bad thing that‘s referenced in the current timeline…and you get a long winded ride to nowhere. Sometimes a dual timeline is fine, and sometimes you just want someone to get to the point. Also the last chapter is a total needle scratch.

Marriages have failure points, just like boats. . . . If you would rather not know the failure points, do not go sailing.
