Welcome to Litsy!

Man the light in this part of my apartment is TERRIBLE. I hope you enjoy awful pictures, friends. Not as awful as this book. This is marketed as a romance but the blurb on the back of the book of VERY misleading and very spoiler-y. I only finished because it's set in Nashville. Ugh I hated this so much.

This was riveting but very dark. I listened to the audiobook and liked the full cast. But I couldn‘t connect with any of the characters and was left feeling sad by the end.

I don‘t know if everyone would see this dysfunctional family drama / mystery as a tribute to unconventional mothering, but I did. The main characters are motherless sisters raised by their grandma. The more responsible sister mothers the other, plus is a single mom to a 4-year-old. It‘s full of heart but also a gripping thriller.

Here‘s my #booked2021 first quarter wrap up! I skipped around, as usual, and managed to get through more prompts than I expected, so I‘m quite pleased. 😊 I enjoyed all of them too, except Boca Raton, but at least that one was short. 😅

Bk11 of March &Bk1 of #20in4 This has to be one of the best audiobook series I‘ve ever listened to, not only is the story fantastic, the narrator is fabulous. Every character is distinctive & the words just flow without stutter or hesitation at all. And there‘s some large, unfamiliar words! Bk2 of The Expanse & Jim & Co are caught up in the destruction of Ganymede by rogue elements with the protomolecule. #Booked2021 #HearHere #SeriesRead2021👇👇

I recently “met” Jesmyn Ward when she agreed to speak to a group of creative writers at The University of Southern Mississippi. She is talented and genuinely human. Sing, Unburied, Sing is her third novel, and her best. And amazing example of Southern Gothic literature.
