Welcome to Litsy!

When Netflix announced that one of my favorite book series was getting its own show, I was elated. Then it was announced that there were only going to be 3 seasons (it‘s a 4-book series). I had my doubts, but the author was one of the Executive Producers, so I held on to the hope that they would do a good job…IT WAS A DISASTER!

Fans were not OK with this, and we were very vocal about it…👇🏽

"El ojo que ves no es
ojo porque tú lo veas;
es ojo porque te ve.

Para dialogar,
preguntad, primero:
después...escuchad.

Busca a tu complementario,
que marcha siempre contigo
y suele ser tu contrario."

Poe hovers over the top of this story of 3 generations of women and their unusual house. There are fantastical elements and perhaps fantastical powers. I wish it had pushed a little more, as I felt it was going somewhere and just didn‘t quite get there.

NBA longlist, translated literature

Second book in the Illumbe trilogy. Story is with different characters but same place. For the trilogy doesn‘t have to read in order but it will make more sense since some characters from first book are mentioned in this story. A singer‘s friend died in a suspicious circumstances and he is receiving notes from an eccentric fan. He and some friends from his former band will try to investigate what really happened to this friend. (Cont) ⬇️

An intriguing hier novella that is part adventure story, part mystery.

A man ends up stranded on a deserted island for with another person. When he returns he does not tell his story for years until he is ill and dying at which point he finally tells his story to be published. Interesting, thought provoking and with a great twist. #europacollective

I'm not sure how I feel about this book. the writing is very descriptive and eerie, but not a lot happens. The disappearance of the boy referenced in the description happened in the past. I was hoping this would be more of a mystery story, but it was not. There is a lot of talk about the divide between the rich and the poor. It was hard to know if there were real spirits haunting the house, or if the women were mentally ill.

Just finished up this one. I was not sure I was going to like it but it captured me.
