Welcome to Litsy!

I went in with expectations a bit too high because i just gave her last book (tagged below) 5⭐️ in the Fall. This book deals heavily with suicide as about half of it is a woman trying to write the correct suicide note to her friends and family. Some reveals in the second half 🤐 negatively changed the way I saw the characters, and I think that contributed to this being a more mid-range pick. I do want to reread knowing what happens at the end.

Unfortunately, this #ImpulseRead just couldn‘t keep my attention, regardless of the subject. I‘m not opposed to revisiting in the future.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4.25 stars. Another perceptive Emily Austin stunner! This time she offers a different story framework from her previous books, which I think was pulled off beautifully and expanded the dimension of the sisters‘ relationship. Her writing touches my heart and makes it ache in a very particular way. #BOTM

YES! My Book of the Month Box arrived today, which helped with the post holidays depression! 🤭💕 I'm absolutely starting the Austin book first! I love her writing so much! #botm

Read 60 pages of ‘The Swap‘ late last night. A 2019 ARC from a GR giveaway - so long overdue🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ This afternoon is full of #Audiocleaning with ‘Out Came the Sun‘ followed by some colouring & reading for self-care.

First #botm picks of 2025!

#12Booksof2024 December

For most of December I was reading fluffy, light books that weren't too taxing. But there were a few exceptions, and all were stand out reads. In Defence of the Act is an easy pick for best of the month. Unique, thoughtful, memorable.

Honorable mentions: Strong Female Character by Fern Brady, and Rabbit Cake by Annie Hartnett

My January #botm are here already! I'm really excited for all four books. In fact, I'm probably going to have a hard time picking which one to read first. And I got my hammer for finishing the 2024 reading challenge. It's heavy!

I just wrote to @Hooked_on_books that #botm is that good-kisser ex I keep slithering back to and always feel a bit ick about. My main issue with them is the whole main pick versus add-on thing. I thought Rats or Maddy would be a main pick, but I had to rejoin to find out they weren‘t. 😡🙄 But I loved Daniel Black‘s last book, so I rolled with this box. Plus I hate that you have to be a “friend” to get a decent add-on price. Sigh. #botm
