Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve been using Libro.fm solely for this year and partially for a few more, and I‘ve hit a point of having the same number of finished and unfinished books. 😁🎉 Still not anywhere close to the 900+ I own on Audible, but I love supporting my local bookstore.

I‘m really enjoying Run for the Hills! Fun fact: Marin Ireland narrates both it and My Friends. I like her as a narrator. She‘s one that will swing me to the audio side.

This was a messy family road trip novel. These complex characters filled the pages with sadness, determination, anger, and regret. However, as the trip progressed, they made room for love. The resolution was a bit quick and frustratingly incomplete. Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for an ARC.

I never cease to be amazed by the creative mind of Kevin Wilson. He nailed magical realism in Nothing To See Here, and coming-of-age in Now Is Not The Time To Panic, and now he can add the road trip novel to his trophy shelf.

In true Kevin Wilson style, this book deals with dysfunctional families. A group of strangers who discover they share the same father set out on a road trip to find their dad.

Although this isn't my favorite by him, it was still a good read. At times, scenarios felt too easily resolved, but I enjoyed seeing the relationships between the characters grow as the story progressed.

I‘ve been a Jojo Moyes fan since Me Before You. She is great at writing characters & stories that are very true to life & relatable. Loved Lila & her highly dysfunctional hilarious family. Excellent narrator. 4⭐️

Not a story for the ages, but def a story my age. Lila is 42 and her life is chaos. I don‘t have her issues, but can relate to some of how she feels. Beautiful character development about people who make mistakes and learn how to work through them. Book #28 in 2025

Overall 4.5 stars! I really enjoyed Lila and her extended & blended family. There were a few cliches thrown in so that detracted from a 5 star rating. I thought the grandads were the best & am glad characters grew the way they needed to. I really enjoy Moyes‘ writing! The narrator did a fantastic job!

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I didn‘t want it to end and I was certainly immersed in this family‘s world. It‘s character rather than plot driven. I found it quite relatable, totally engaging and humorous. I even liked Gene, the errant father, by the end of the book. He endeared himself! 🙂

The Wyrmling‘s first official library haul!! He picked out Tickle because we have Potty by the same author. He recognized the artwork immediately. 🥰

He chose all but the Eric Carle book (tagged because pic cut off title), that was a nostalgic mama pick. 😅
