Excited to talk about the details with #CampLitsy25

Overall this is a low pick for me. I found all of the characters super irritating (and a bit stupid). I have mixed feelings about most of this. Not my favorite Cosby.
Positives - it was quick paced and kept you reading. The writing was fine ( sometimes a bit too cheesy)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow I loved this #CampLitsy25 read and will definitely be reading some of Crosby‘s other books!

Even Willow wanted to grab it 😂 #catsoflitsy

I can see it being too violent for some people but I enjoyed it a lot. Fast and lots of action.

🔥Everything burns🔥

Megabooks Glad you enjoyed it! All the Sinners Bleed won the 2024 Litsy ToB and is a great book, too! 2d
Kitta @Megabooks I think I have a copy of Razorblade tears but I‘ll check that one out too! 2d

#CharacterCharm Day 20: Torrent and Tranquil definitely strike me as borderline #Psychotic - one more than the other, ummm, sort-of. A #CampLitsy25 winner, no doubt. Looking forward to the final discussion this weekend hosted by the ever fab @BarbaraBB

I enjoyed this book, but it was gritty and intense. Roman goes back home when he hears that his father is in a coma. There, he gets mixed up in crime thanks to his brother while his sister is still trying to solve the mystery of their Mother's disappearance 🔥

So Jefferson Run is a fictional place in Virginia (I think), but there is a Jefferson Run Rd! 😂

Megabooks @Reggie I could say I felt affection for them in a weird way... Glad you enjoyed it @jenniferw88! 2d
jenniferw88 @Reggie @Megabooks I liked Jealousy and Dante... Neaveh grew on me, as I didn't like her at the start. 2d

Coffee out for this #weeklyforecast I cannot believe August is almost over. Life has been super busy so I have been very distracted but hopefully will get some good reading done soon.

3 library books to get through -tagged Slanting Towards the Sea and Twilight of Empire (history for my rapidly approaching trip)

Then - #camplitsy25 SA Cosby and #womensprize Elizabeth Strout

This novel is violent, but not gratuitously so. It's the story of the evolution of one family's fortune (with a side story about another family as well). This is a novel with momentum, almost like Cosby set the story up at the top of a hill and then gave it a nudge and watched it roll. It was interesting to watch the characters follow paths shaped by history, secrets, ambition, and their own and others' choices. #camplitsy25

Megabooks Great review! It's weird how his novels are spectacularly violent, but it never feels gratuitous. 2d
