Welcome to Litsy!

I chose this one to fulfill “Set in India” for the B&N Book Challenge; it‘s so brilliantly written, with characters who are so vibrant (and whom I just want to HUG), and I just…I‘m really glad I chose it. It is, however, a no-holds-barred representation of the poor and outcast in India, and the justice system‘s treatment of them, which is difficult to stomach. #aburning #meghamajumdar #bnbookchallenge #setinindia

My final #Booked2020 round up. I didn‘t finish all the prompts this year, but considering I didn‘t plan my reading very much, I‘m happy that I got as many as I did 🙌

#SetInIndia: Burnt Sugar
#ParentChildMemoir: Braving It
#GothicHorror: Tha Haunting of Hill House
#EccentricMC: Mit Arbejde

Didn‘t get to Tartan Noir and Set in Hollywood 🤷‍♀️

Now I‘m ready for #Booked2021!

I read all 24 books again this year. Yay!

Thanks for hosting, ladies... looking forward to #Booked2021. 🥳

I don‘t know what I expected from this, but I was pleasantly surprised! In a delicate, but unflinching way, Doshi tells the story of a mother-daughter relationship that is filled with displeasure, longing for something different, jealousy and fear. I felt the book was strongest, when the focus was on the relationship between mother and daughter, but the throw backs through Antara‘s and Tara‘s lives where interesting, too.

Finished my #booked2020 #SetInIndia prompt! I will have to reread this later because I didn‘t really feel like I got it all through audiobook while doing other things. But I got the prompt done! #read2020

This is between pick and so-so for me. The writing was beautiful at times but at others it was a bit much. Too flowery?... maybe. I‘m probably not describing that right. Anyway, I did like several of the stories, at least until their endings. I felt like too many of the stories ended right as they were really getting started, and the abruptness of their endings frustrated me.

Thanks friends 😁❤️ looking forward to next year.

This book about a group of nine year olds in India that are trying to play detective and find some missing children. The story is interesting but it's really hard to connected with the characters.

What a delightful book. I loved the setting, beautiful writing, and characters. The audiobook, narrated by Sneha Marthan, made me feel like I was part of the story.

I couldn‘t connect to this writing as well as the plot. Most of the places I felt the writing is incoherent & the details were frustrating. At few places I felt the repetition of phrases ( e.g description of rickshaws). The story oscillates between past & present, first person narration are the good part. But I am disappointed with the MC Antara. You won‘t feel for her. May beI did not like the character at all it made me irritated. Cont..👇🏻
