Welcome to Litsy!

This is a very unhinged and gory horror novella. There is a mix of horrors of the Victorian age and actual gruesome murder - written in extreme detail. Both entertaining and disgusting. This would make a great movie - my recent watch of The Ugly Stepsister on Shudder made me want more historical horror. 5⭐️

This. Was . Hilarious!!!!! This was Otessa Moshfegh and all her gruesomeness but with humor. Miss Notty is hired to be the governess at the Pound estate and nothing will ever be same again. She has a darkness inside her that is just itching to get out. One would be afraid for the family of the Pound estate until you meet them. Then, maybe, you‘re rooting for Miss Notty. Litsy this was great but for a lot of you it might not be. Take care. Pick!!!

Thanks to StoryGraph, I see that The Count of Monte Cristo is my answer, at about 1,276 pages. I read it in 2015. I loved the 2011- 2015 TV show Revenge. I learned it was based on this classic. I had put it off due to the length, but really enjoyed it and was happy I dove in. #SundayFunday

I have read and enjoyed a lot of 1000+ page books! Highly HIGHLY recommend The Count here for fun and adventure. 🌟 🏔️ 📚

I listened to this on audiobook, and while I really enjoyed the story, boy this sucker is long! 😂

#SundayFunday Have a marvelous day, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

Such a powerful book. I haven't read the graphic novel version yet but it's on my list

Sometimes a girl just needs to read a boy book and a good ol‘ western fits that bill. (This is not a story where the indigenous people‘s perspective is considered -so there is that). I saw this movie years back with Leonardo DiCaprio playing the part of Hugh Glass as he‘s viciously mauled by a grizzly bear. But I gotta say, reading an account of that attack might have been even more visceral.

I‘ve read and really liked David Copperfield. I expect to read Dickens‘ other books this year for #whattheDickens and I‘ll probably read Mansfield Park someday

I recently bought The Three Musketeers so I‘m looking forward to that one

Not a huge fan of the books I read in high school and college: The Scarlet Letter and Candide
