Welcome to Litsy!

This is a haunted house novella translated from Spanish. This house has been inhabited by 4 generations of women some of who are witches. A granddaughter returns home after spending time in jail after being accused of kidnapping the boy she nannies. This is intergenerational trauma, domestic violence, class warfare. I kept thinking of that Mean Girl‘s quote-I don‘t hate you cause you‘re fat, you‘re fat because I hate you. But instead it‘s- 👇🏼

Um, okay, awesome, haunted house book, first paragraph, come through!!!!!

A masterpiece.
You MUST read this book.

When Netflix announced that one of my favorite book series was getting its own show, I was elated. Then it was announced that there were only going to be 3 seasons (it‘s a 4-book series). I had my doubts, but the author was one of the Executive Producers, so I held on to the hope that they would do a good job…IT WAS A DISASTER!

Fans were not OK with this, and we were very vocal about it…👇🏽

"El ojo que ves no es
ojo porque tú lo veas;
es ojo porque te ve.

Para dialogar,
preguntad, primero:
después...escuchad.

Busca a tu complementario,
que marcha siempre contigo
y suele ser tu contrario."

July 2024 Book #9 last book read this month

Last book in Illumbe trilogy. Each book is developed in Illumbe but they are not direct sequence. In this book the story is about Nerea Arruti, an investigator. She maintained a secret lover, an accident occurred and everything turns complicated with the presence of a gang of criminals. Was her lover related with this gang? ⬇️

Poe hovers over the top of this story of 3 generations of women and their unusual house. There are fantastical elements and perhaps fantastical powers. I wish it had pushed a little more, as I felt it was going somewhere and just didn‘t quite get there.

NBA longlist, translated literature

Second book in the Illumbe trilogy. Story is with different characters but same place. For the trilogy doesn‘t have to read in order but it will make more sense since some characters from first book are mentioned in this story. A singer‘s friend died in a suspicious circumstances and he is receiving notes from an eccentric fan. He and some friends from his former band will try to investigate what really happened to this friend. (Cont) ⬇️

An intriguing hier novella that is part adventure story, part mystery.

A man ends up stranded on a deserted island for with another person. When he returns he does not tell his story for years until he is ill and dying at which point he finally tells his story to be published. Interesting, thought provoking and with a great twist. #europacollective
