Welcome to Litsy!

Since I didn't read many books last month, I only had to fill in a few selections for December. I'm still late. 😆 #StoryOfMyLife

We are having CRAZY awesome warm weather 🙏🏻🙏🏻 so I have been racing home to move my raised garden beds across my patio. The awful part will be recreating the interlocking brick back on the other side 🤣🤣 my tomatoes are going to be contenders this year 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍅🥬🥒🌶️

This has been on my TBR list since it was recommended to me several years ago. Glad I finally got to it! Present day America…except the Civil War never happened. It was a slow start, but picked up after about 10% and only got better and better. Severals twists and turns that kept me guessing what would happen next. Great world building by the author and excellent choice in narrator, William DeMerritt. I‘ll be thinking about this one for awhile.

Rearranging my bookshelves 🥰 It looks like I'm down to only 6 Japanese mysteries and thrillers...

I loved this ♥️ I loved the authors first book (Augusta Hope) and this is similar in the sense that it deals with loss, love, families and friends. There are a lot of sad themes here but all dealt with in a way that‘s not too depressing. There was one sad bit where I had to not cry on the train!
She also didn‘t go for the neat ending which I liked.

A much more successful book club read though very heavy for the month we‘ve just had in the U.S. More than a little disconcerting to read about civil war and a coup when...well you know. Still, Adichie‘s writing is so skillful it transports you completely to Nigeria. And all of the central characters are so richly developed. 4⭐️

#JamminJune Day 11: So I bought the Little #Paris Bookshop in 2017 but have yet to read it. #StoryOfMyLife. Here is my other book loot in that warehouse sale: https://wp.me/pDlzr-giE - for the record, I miss book sales.

And I've already changed my mind about prompt number 4 for #Booked2020.

A group of students from a private girls‘ school near Melbourne have a picnic near Hanging Rock. A few go to explore the rocks on their own. Three of the girls and one of their teachers go #missing in unusual circumstances. A fascinating story.
