Welcome to Litsy!

Rather boring.

Next read and I‘m hoping for no cheese

Made a rough draft of my #bookishmonopoly board at work the other night, and I couldn‘t wait to try it today since I‘m ready for my next read! I landed on ‘person on cover‘, so The Surgeon it is! 🤩

I feel like I've been reading this book for months. It's never going to end.

ETA: Okay, you're right! The last part was very good. It was enough to make me happy I stuck with this. But it was a JOURNEY. ⭐⭐⭐

A historical fiction set during the 1930s Chicago World‘s Fair, where a performer is seeking revenge on a man who wronged her family in Italy when her estranged cousin shows up, on the run from mobsters and begging for help.

This was SO intriguing. But that cliffhanger has left me raging!

Themes: Wealthy Black Debutantes, 1920‘s Chicago (mobsters, prohibition, class warfare), Undercover investigative journalism, “Chunkster” reads (this is 508 pages)

I initially really liked this read, but I found myself skimming and losing interest with 100 pages still left 🫠 I‘d put it between a “Pick” and “So-So”. It‘s not one I would need to re-read again, and would suggest as a #BorrowDontBuy

#BookMail is the best mail! Did I read last month‘s selections , no , I did not. 📚📚📚📚📚
