Welcome to Litsy!

This book was good, you could tell it was published in 1995. I hate that i cant fully update it on goodreads.

This is the first book I have ever DNF‘d. I understand it was written in a very different time but at page 142/262, I decided I just really don‘t like it. The language is stronger than I anticipated, again understanding this was written in the 30‘s, but almost every other sentence includes some sort of derogatory reference to a person of another race.

I much prefer Hemingway for his love of polydactyl cats. Picture of Hemingway cat included.

I liked the uncertainty the writer gave the reader until the end. I chose this book as I visited Key West, where it is set. The terms of endearment were creepy, but that was not the author's doing but rather a true account within this story.

Heading to the Gulf Coast next week, expecting to see more of these. #Sunset Just finished my first Silas House, and now I want to read everything he's written. #LuckyInLove @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Decided to go through my Litsy TBR to find a #NewYearNewBooks #TitleBeginsWithS. Yikes! Pic above is my list before I gave up trying to get through it all. Thankfully, I have reviews from #Littens to narrow the field. Though #Litten reviews is how my #tbr got so long in the first place. 😀 📚 🤩 Starting with tagged book from Libby. @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I am posting one book a day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are new, some I've had for years and I don't even remember why I bought them.

I forgot how much I enjoy Carl Hiaasen novels! This was a fun and quick read, with all the trademark Hiaasen wit and quirk. I enjoyed all the quirky characters, and especially liked the redemption for the adults.

A toast to Jimmy Buffett. See you in Margaritaville, good man. 🥲

#UnpopularOpinion While I agree that God is in everything this book felt so PREACHY & heavy handed. I found the characters cliche/ one dimensional caricatures and I really didn‘t connect emotionally to either Asher, a southern town preacher or his young son Justin. I also found the narrator‘s voice SO GRATING. Almost everyone else on Litsy LOVED this so it‘s probably more me than the book/ story🤷🏼‍♀️

This is one of the best books I‘ve read this year! It‘s the story of an evangelical preacher in Tennessee who has a change of heart and doesn‘t expel two gay men from his church. A video of him expressing these feelings to his congregation goes viral, and while he receives much support elsewhere, it costs him very dearly near home. It felt so real to me as a person living in a town in the South. He doesn‘t shy away from complications of life here.
