Welcome to Litsy!

Short novel about a Beijing man who builds stereo systems for a living and his struggles with love, family and money. It was…odd. I‘d give it a pick because it‘s short and strange. #boxwalla

I tried. I really did. But, unlike other Russian novels that I've enjoyed, this goes so deep into the Soviet political and war machines that I just couldn't get into it. It might work for someone else! #boxwalla

It took me a long time to get through this. It wasn‘t my favorite but I did learn a bit about South African politics. 🌻🐝 #boxwalla

Ugliness, secrets and betrayals are the three words I use to describe this story. I didn‘t like the main character but I understood her. Worth a read! #boxwalla

I enjoyed this for the most part but the lengthy story-in-a-story was over the top...which I guess was the point. #boxwalla

I received this adorable pin in my #boxwalla subscription box. 💙

Like other reviewers said, this reminded me of The Great Gatsby. I enjoyed it, but because I read it a few pages at a time over several weeks, I had difficulty remembering each character's storyline. There were so many characters with names beginning in M, E & F. I should have put together a cheat sheet! 😬 #boxwalla

Gatsby like Catalan story of a glamorous home by the sea where lots of wealthy friends come to enjoy the Summer. The story is told through the gardener‘s eyes. Stunning writing by the great Catalan writer, Rodoreda. #boxwalla

Book mail came early today. Was this a #blameitonLitsy purchase? I can‘t remember but I don‘t know how else I would have heard of it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this funny, clever, provocative novel. It‘s richly satirical but also full of complex, humane emotion. Brilliant.
