Welcome to Litsy!

Hey #IDLR #BuddyReaders. The second book in the series for February is Glory In Death. We will be having two check points this time instead of the chapter a day. The first 10 chapters on February 15th and the rest on February 29. Remember, this series contains lots of triggers for certain readers. Please join us and let us know if you would like to be added to this #BuddyRead. @StayCurious or me @LiseWorks

I can‘t believe I didn‘t read this book before now; I loved it! Adunni is such a wonderful MC, naïve to the ways of the world (and how evil people can be) but also wise beyond her years.

Like my fellow #buddyreaders I can‘t believe that this kind of treatment of women is still allowed and accepted in this day and age. ? Going to read back through spoiler tags now…!

Daisy Johnson‘s blurb on the front of this book says she was ‘consumed‘ by it, and that‘s exactly how I felt. It is a heartbreaking tale of growing up in a broken, dysfunctional family; very difficult to read but equally as difficult to put down.

Whilst ostensibly a tale about the titular Betty, it reads as a love story to her father Landon. Spoilers below for my fellow #buddyreaders who haven‘t finished yet.

Apologies to my fellow #buddyreaders - I went off piste and I‘ve finished this early.

Looking forward to discussing when others have finished so no spoilers here. I loved how each ‘book‘ was different to the others, and the strong perspective on women throughout.

I think the connection to and interweaving of historical events weakened as the book went on but I particularly enjoyed reading Niza‘s perspective as she‘s the same age as me.

I‘m getting there with The Eighth Life and, apologies to my fellow #buddyreaders, I may read ahead to finish it this week.

The Alienist is my #bookspin book and I might make a start on Tell the Wolves I‘m Home, ready for MayBeNow.

I also have the second half of The Mirror and The Light to tackle on Libby.....

Yes, it‘s Wednesday again already, #buddyreaders!

How did you find Kitty‘s story this week? Is it obvious who her mystery caller is or not? (Put in spoilers just in case!)

I‘m really enjoying the way that the author is able to switch from big, world events to the minutiae of an individual‘s life, but don‘t you wish they would all just TALK to each other?!

This week we read Elene‘s book, which is a slightly longer section - be warned!

I‘m done! First book down for both #24B4Monday and #24in48 ! It‘s not in the database so instead of a review I‘ll just tell my fellow #buddyreaders that I‘m not disappointed, pretty sure I know who Viking‘s woman will be, and now I‘m intrigued with Beau. And Chavez—there‘s a story there. And really hope that racist bastard p.o.s. Governor Ayers comes to a bad end soon.
