Welcome to Litsy!

Just stopped at Barnes & Noble for a browse and these Percival Everett books left with me. What could I do? They needed a home. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This book belongs to my grandmother and I really did enjoyed reading this book. I loved the characters so much. The plot of the book was great. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

I finished the KC Davis book in February but it took till July to read Kilrone.

So, my February #BookSpinBingo is done! 😂

I'll either get caught up by December or just start fresh in 2026!

I usually love the Sackett family novels by L'Amour. This one, though, didn't do it for me. I rated this a 2.5 across multiple platforms but rounded up for the graphic.

I've got one more by L'Amour in my pressing pile but now I don't know. I'll give it a shot. If it's a mediocre as this one, I may just circle back to it at a later date.

Shout out to Moffat Library, Midwestern State University, Wichita Falls, TX for the copy of the book from ILL!

It has been a while since I have read a Western novel. I loved it, the characters were believable. l loved the plot of the book also. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

Finished today for #AuthorAMonth May. I loved James & wanted to read more Everett & ended up with this one because it was available from my library. I don‘t read a lot of Westerns it‘s just not a genre I gravitate to, but Everett drew me in with his sly wit & dark humor that had me laughing while also wincing at the racism & ignorance of the MC, Curt Marder & other characters in the book. I did not love the ending.

Streets of Laredo reminded me of McMurtry‘s exceptional writing skills. It‘s remarkable how he brings characters to life through his words. His vivid descriptions of the scenery and the way of life in the early 1890s effortlessly immersed me in the story. Despite its challenging nature, with its share of grief, hardship, and brutality, it‘s also a beautiful story.

Got myself a western spoof! 🤠👏🏾 Everette is such a fantastic satirist that I‘m looking forward to it when I get there.

Enjoyed it.

Bought a used book this weekend!
