Welcome to Litsy!

It's a f%£#@ teardrop, asshole! A m@#£f!@#£% tear from your cousin who's dead and you living it up in Barcelona knocking back a vermouth with olives! So the least you can do now is help me, or are you going to back out now?, have some respect for the dead, asshole, you owe me that, don't think just because I'm dead I'm not gonna find out, I can assure you I'll find out, little cuz, even if I'm a f@#£% ghost.

Letters beyond the grave...

Another book that was just okay for me. I liked the beginning a lot more!

I really enjoyed Six of Crows but was less a fan of Ninth House so I'd been undecided on picking this one up before getting it on my #AuldLangSpine list from @Laughterhp . It took me a moment to get into it but once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The setting of the Spanish Inquisition was great for a historical fantasy book, and I really loved the character of Santangel. @monalyisha

A novella about a woman who goes along with her partner‘s desire to have a child even though she doesn‘t want to be a mother. Her intentions are good but of course everything changes in their lives. Powerful emotions run throughout these pages, from isolation to desire and back again. An undeniably strong story that I liked but didn‘t quite love.

Starting this for #auldlangspine

#25Alive!

For today‘s prompt #1stBk25 this was my first finished book for this year.

This is my second Matt Haig book. The fantastical nature of this book is lighter and more hopeful than the twists and turns of the Midnight Library. It‘s always fun to read a septuagenarian find a new lease on life.

Well written. Fast paced. Not too cliched. Overall not too bad. Just the ticket for a beach or plane read. Liz Nugents Lying in wait is a similar theme and I would highly recommend that.

My top 3 children's books from the list:

1. The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf
2. Matilda by Roald Dahl
3. Harry Potter by JK Rowling

So many memories here! My score was 56.

My favourites:
Anne of Green Gables
Narnia books
A Wrinkle in Time

Should have been on the list:
The Paperbag Princess
Stand in the Wind
Alligator Pie
Honourable mention: The Devil in Vienna is one of my favourite books of all time but maybe more a pre-teen book.
