Welcome to Litsy!

So the other day, I was anticipating The Repeat Room would be on the long list and so I used 1 credit and then I found out it‘s not on the list so I was able to return it. Yay! (I find Jesse Ball a little bit perplexing.)

Another one I listened to over the summer. I love GUPs adventures with his niece & nephew. This time he‘s helping them prepare for their dad getting remarried. The audio is narrated by the author.

Really enjoyed this one! There were several times I laughed out loud. (Spoiler free) summary: Meddelin is a wedding photographer with her family‘s business. When she accidentally kills her blind date, her mother & aunts help her take care of the body - during a wedding they are working. The generational, cultural and language barriers of the characters create a hilarious story! If you need something lighthearted & fun, this is a great choice!

Great premise, complicated characters, delightfully delicious romance! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #romantsy

Very similar to Backman‘s Ove, but from the POV of a middle aged woman. Phoebe is not as boring as she presents, she‘s very witty and very likeable . Heavy content, but many comedic moments that make it an easy read. Book #100 in 2024

1. I love both, but would probably go with spots if forced to choose.

2. My daughter & I are doing a read-aloud of the tagged book, which we borrowed from the library. ❤️ the Vanderbeekers ~ we‘re sad it‘s the final book in this series.

Watched the Netflix series first then I heard that the author allowed them to change a few things. Usually never watch then read but I did like the ending better on the series. Also loved the beach line dance at the beginning credits after episode one…watched it every time!

Finished reading this before the election. I was trying to read an easy breezy novel and this fit the bill. A woman goes to a hotel to end her life and quickly becomes unexpectedly enmeshed in a week-long wedding party. This was funnier than I expected and had a great trajectory for the main character. A pleasant read with an abysmal cover.
