Welcome to Litsy!

Check out my $3 book haul from my favorite thrift store in Iowa! I can only visit when we‘re picking up my niece from Luther College, so I make sure to peruse it diligently.

The Theater reference is for my theater shelf and Divergent is to try and entice my other nieces into dystopian lit (ages 12 and 16).

Dark Matter, Hell Bent, Robopocalypse, and Robogenesis are all first editions and I couldn‘t leave them behind. Which should I start with?

5 Stars • In The Marriage Act by John Marrs, a dystopian Britain enforces the Sanctity of Marriage Act, promoting "Smart Marriages" with AI surveillance and penalizing singles. Four couples navigate the oppressive system, facing privacy loss, betrayal, and government control. A resistance group fights back in this suspenseful, twist-filled thriller.

This was a thrilling read. It had me on the edge of my seat. The deserted island feels added to the tension. The ending of Natasha Preston books always takes me by surprise. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don‘t read many thrillers anymore but every once in a while one captured me. Redemption Road is a dark, multi-layered slow-burn mystery featuring a rich North Carolina setting and a cast of complex characters seeking justice, revenge, and redemption in their own ways. Hart successfully balances multiple mysteries, ask the hard questions about justice and revenge, and keeps the suspense up to the very end. Excellent!

Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

TODAY‘S PROMPT: DOLL

Lis Woodham's four-year-old sister, Janey, along with her doll disappeared forty years ago and was never found.  There were no clues about what happened then and no clues now.

A good mystery that will keep you guessing.

Every time I pick up a novel by Gregg Hurwitz, I can‘t help but feel confident that it‘s going to be an excellent read. His first novel, “The Tower,” is a fast-paced and suspenseful story that perfectly captures the essence of the genre I love. It features a high-security prison, a sadistic serial killer, and an ex-FBI agent, all elements that make for a thrilling and engaging read.
