Welcome to Litsy!

I inhaled this on audio! I wasn‘t expecting to get it so fast for June‘s #literarycrew but here we are. I loved it. Please note I am a total grudge holder just like Hazel! It‘s a ♋️ 🦀thing. Also my vendetta against rabbits continues. I planted 2 cucumbers in my garden instead of my raised beds and I thought one had succumbed to cooler than usual temps BUT NO, it‘s the goddamn rabbits. This was was so healthy and alive this morning 🤬🤬🤬

Despite having a house to clean and an unending to do list in the garden, I just want to build Lego a bit so I started Sunflowers to take a break from cleaning and gardening and not from this book for #literarycrew

repost for @Librarybelle:

#literarycrew #April
Post WWII 1950s. Quinn‘s novel opens with a scene of a dead body in a DC women‘s boarding house.How did this happen?Who committed the deadly deed?The house became a home for a found family when Grace March moved into the top floor.She initiated Thursday night shared pot-luck dinners & overtime these eclectic women became a bonded,tight-knit group.The house was a character in itself,coming alive when the women move in.

I'm behind on posting. Finished this for #AuthorAMonth over a week ago. It was quite good. The author pulls together a broad mix of themes centered around DC in the 1950s.

I‘m catching up on my April reviews this weekend & I loved this book! A good thing as it was a trifecta of challenge prompts: #AuthorAMonth #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead & one of the books from @JacqMac ‘s #AuldLangSpine list. This is my third Kate Quinn book & maybe my favorite. The audiobook was stellar & I finished & listened to the author notes twice + an interview with the author & narrator who really brought the characters to life. ⬇️

I‘m a day late for #literarycrew it started with a murder and a cast of characters I mainly abhorrd. 100 pages in and I wondered if I‘d keep going. Almost immediately I started liking it more and cared who died and what was going to happen to them all. The politics of the day aren‘t too far off today‘s

It's been years since I've read Kate Quinn, so I'm very glad #authoramonth had her listed for April. This book had me hooked from the first chapter. I couldn't stop reading. Pixel and I went on extra long dog walks all to give me more time with this audiobook. The ending did not disappoint. Highly recommend to anyone who loves historical fiction.
