Welcome to Litsy!

#Read2025

Finished this morning for #SundayBuddyRead this is not a book that I normally would choose or even knew anything about but I found myself caught up in it. The writing is bleak & beautiful & a lot unfolds in 160 pages. I found myself both frustrated with & rooting for our unnamed narrator, a young Native American man, living on the res in Montana. Of course the usual careful research & discussions led by Christine made it come to life.

#sundaybuddyread I had never heard of this author and I‘m quite grateful for being pointed in his direction by our fearless and tireless buddy read leader @TheBookHippie this story is heartbreaking and in the last chapter/section I really thought it was going to fully break my heart but thank goodness it ended with a smidge of hope

Arrived on my porch in the snow 😄. ❄️ ❄️ #bookmail #blameitonlitsy #sundaybuddyread #porchlife

My favorite book of January was The Girl From the Grand Hotel, read for the #sundaybuddyread

It's the summer of 1939 at the Côte d'Azur. Celebrities are at the Grand Hotel for the first Cannes Film Festival. Add in some Nazis and espionage, and we get an interesting story.

At first, I thought I hadn‘t read enough nonfiction this year to play the nonfiction round. Then, going through my fiction books, I realized I‘d read a ton of great nonfiction too (many thanks to @TheBookHippie for all the great #SundayBuddyRead nonfiction picks)! Yes, the last one is fiction but felt like non due to the extensive research.

After listening to the last sectioning and not absorbing anything and realizing after this weeks discussion that I‘m completely missing things, I‘m gonna bail. It seems my group is really “enjoying” it so I would feel bad giving this a bad rating when the problem may be either myself or the means in which I‘ve decided to read this. Maybe next time #sundaybuddyread
