Welcome to Litsy!

3.8/5 🌟

It got bizarre, it got silly… but Vesper kept me hooked — funny, heartfelt, and full of honest thoughts on faith, family, belonging, and identity.

It gets a solid 75%. The third of the four stories (The Body) dragged on and on for no apparent reason, and I could not wait for it to end. The other three were compelling and interesting. Overall, I would recommend.

After finally getting myself to finish this collection after the third story bombed, I actually enjoyed this one. Talk about a trip. I probably won‘t ever use “the breathing method” if I somehow end up having kids after this though. It has a rather interesting description of birth and pregnancy in it that lawmakers should be forced to meditate on. Just saying.

Book roll came up with this next!

Having been a fan of the series with Kenneth Branagh (we didn't have the opportunity to watch more than one episode of the original Swedish series), I was eager to compare the experience of reading one of the books. This did not disappoint. There's a lot happening. Lots of character development for Wallander, who is going through his own stages of grief. My only real complaint is that I wanted more of the catalyst to be involved in the plot.

I didn't think I'd finish, but here we are. I hated this book the first 4 chapters and then boom I'm invested. The story is told through multiple characters, and FYI they're shitty people, as they unravel a tale of lies, deceit and multiple murders...I only finished because it was hard to put down

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ was a expecting where the initial plot was headed, yes. Did I nail all the plot twists? Not even close. Did I hate characters? Absolutely. Page-turner, for sure! Glad I got to clear this from my TBR. Thank you, #HauntedShelf #RestlessSpirits #JustOneMoreChapter #Pumpkaboo

Excellent. I was gripped by this tale. There‘s dependence, creativity, intrigue, class war, what more could you want. I want the miniature painting described here, of the hedgerow. That‘s not all though, the descriptive language is such that you drink in views of wild coastlines in Scotland, ceramic pieces, and a myriad of paintings.

Here is what I'm currently reading:

Fractured Tide by Leslie Lutz - really enjoying it so far. I love that it's told in entries

Fear (Gone #5) by Michael Grant - interesting direction the series has taken the last 2 books
