Welcome to Litsy!

This narration is well done, I was on the edge of my seat often following along this tense adventure of mofos (humans) catching the end-of-times virus and morphing into zombies 🧟‍♀️ and worse! ALL TOLD by a crow 🐦‍⬛ who goes on a mission with his bloodhound sidekick. I may have shed a tear 😢 or two. #LitPie #PieinLiterature #iLovePie 🥧 #May2024 Book47

“The flesh of this particular pear 🍐 is soft and sweet and infused with a certain spiciness that lends itself to jams and pies.” #pieinliterature #LitPie #iLovePie #CaresPieShow

I am NOT enjoying the Anna parts - the going-backwards-in-time ain‘t working for me. But I am already heartbroken for the Anastasia storyline. I am about 75% in.

Hoping to finish tonight so I can devour True Biz tomorrow.

“… tweezing forkfuls of turkey or PECAN PIE through a rectangular mouth slot.” #PieinLiterature #ILovePie

The word play! I am astounded that this is a translated work (and thrilled that I know the bookstore that is owned by translator Emma Ramadan.) I would love to hear more about the entire project to create this. #tob2022
#PieinLiterature #PieLit “easy as pie”
(I am reading this on western KS getaway trip)

Blueberry 🫐 🥧 Pie! Sliced into 3 pieces and piled with ice cream. Oh yea! (Being audio, I don‘t have the *exact* words) #PieinLiterature #LitPie
I think this is an Audible freebie and yes, it didn‘t hurt that Ann Patchett blurbed it… yes, I might have a crush on AP… #WiaN2022 category Seasons
Go Chiefs! 🏈 #DogsofLitsy #EsthertheGriff

Again, I look to my goodreads booklists for inspiration. #Haunted #Scarathlon #PhotoChallenge
Another favorite author 🏚👻 I read Hill House last year; saw the movie forever ago. There is a pie quote in the book: Eleanor says, “I like apple pie with sour cream.” #PieinLiterature #LitPie #iLovePie 🥧

Pastelitos are Cuban meat pies! So this counts for my #PieinLiterature tag. #iLovePie

#bookclub Enjoyed this one to my great relief. I haven‘t been having the best of times with my club's choices so far. A couple of maybe minor quibbles: I didn‘t understand the use of “Ya” in the dialogue, and was not impressed with the flippant mention of a child murder case that, to me, is very sad and shouldn‘t be a joke. Also, I hate wearing yoga pants! 1/2 ⬇️

If the TOB had been around in 1980 (81?), this would have been selected. What a weird odd story!! Not what I expected; cannot wait to watch the movie 🎥
I can‘t give it 5 slices of pie because it just confounded me at the last page but now, as I think about it, (and I realize she hd some very worthy pie mentions, ahem), I just may bump it up to a FIVE. Definitely a PICK 👏 But what WAS this? Mental health in families? Living on your own terms?!

I have read 7 novels by Elizabeth Taylor, 3 by Anita Brookner, & 1 by Barbara Pym, & I love Brookner‘s style the most.

I shifted my rating for the tagged book to 5⭐️ because I just can‘t stop thinking about it. I pick up the book now and then to reread some parts because it‘s just brilliant! Yes, I‘m nursing book hangover now 😅 It‘s truly the gold standard for spinster lit!

Thank God she wrote a lot. I have 21 more titles to explore 🎉
