Welcome to Litsy!

You read something and it makes you think about your young adult life transitioning out of high school and the friendships you make in life at that time. This book did this. How as young adults we “feel” like it‘s the end of the world and when we‘re young we‘re so passionate about life. This book was a journey in that sense but that‘s not only what it was about it‘s also about friends “losing” a friend in a tragic death and the truth comes out.

Today finds me in Ancient Greece during the Peloponnesian Wars following the fate of young Alexias, an Athenian noble, as he matures, meets his mentor and lover Lysis, becomes a soldier and sailor… He also encounters Socrates, Plato, and other famous Greek names which have come down to us through history. Slow read, but satisfying.

I‘ve started in on my #10BeforetheEnd pile! I need to ignore the lure of library books! 🤞

I had to start this book a few times to get into it and I‘m glad I did. It was a different approach and I enjoyed the story. A murder mystery of sorts with the narrator being one of the main characters. Worth a read.

Great setting beautifully described, with clunky dialogue and two dimensional characters. The story was okay. But I finished it with an hour to spare before Libby reclaimed it!

Tomorrow I‘ll start Grim Reaper‘s Guide.

Progress was made on the rest.

Fun readathon!

This was a different type of mystery, with elements that confused me (though I‘ve been reading this for a few months with breaks, so I may have forgotten why certain things happen). Truelove reminds me of Amelia Peabody, though I like Peabody a bit more. The ghost of Queen Victoria speaking to Truelove was odd. So-so book for me.

1. Of course not.
2. Tomorrow‘s plane reading?
