Welcome to Litsy!

Yay! My last read of the month was SOOOO GOOD! I absolutely LOVED this one! After a bit of a reading slump this audio just hooked me instantly! I couldn‘t stop listening 😊❣️Margo is living a quiet existence since she began working in a small town library but her past is about to catch up to her. It‘s a game of cat and mouse and I was ALL IN! Dual audio narration was excellent - really raising the intensity and fury of librarian Margo.

I can‘t say I enjoyed this book - it‘s bleak, meandering and intentionally confusing. However the writing is really thoughtful and the prose paints a visually disturbing portrait of trauma and sorrow. Heavy topic of sexual abuse by clergy adds to this already dark story of a retired police officer who‘s living out an isolated existence. #BookerLongList23

A book within a book, a blending of fact & fiction, an alternate United States, cool photos and yet by the final 50 pages, I had enough😬 A mysterious artist known by the symbol “X” dies leaving her widowed wife to realize how little she really knew of the woman she was married to. When an unauthorized biography is released she sets out to set the record straight.
This leads her on a quest to discover who was X??? Super glad I went print!

I read a free kindle version of this while listening to the audio read by Juliet Stevenson who does a fabulous job of making each member of the large cast of characters sound distinct without resorting to doing “voices”. The pictured cover is not on either of the editions I read from, but as I quite dislike both of those cover images I‘m imagining they had the cover from my favorite paperback edition 😉

This was my #doublespin back in April ⬇️

#rightbookrighttime I‘ve been a bit blue, too many worries, this book helped me lighten up! When senior citizens in a charming retirement village team up for their murder club, little did they know they would soon go from cold cases to murder in their own backyard. Funny , witty,& warm.I need to get to the second one!

#julyjourneys #dance Powers first novel .He always engages with ideas.Technology is examined, how it brings out democratization of art through photography, & brings modern weaponry that makes WWI more horrifying.I‘ve never reread it , it moved me on every level .I can‘t say it‘s absolutely a great read for everyone but for me it was #rightbookrighttime

Thanks for gifting me this audio @squirrelbrain
It‘s just what I needed 🥰

Hi friends!! A few photos of what I‘ve been up to since the kids arrived. Mostly beach days, playing lots of backgammon (board painted by my son‘s girlfriend), a trip to Levinsky Market in Jaffa with a famous gazoz drink by Benny Briga and a beautiful sunset at Gazebo Beach, Herzliya ♥️Nearly finished with this audio.

I can only do audiobooks for a few days and I am so glad I chose this one. The very first chapter is about Jimmy Stewart. I'm pretty vocal about how much I adore him. #RightBookRightTime
