Welcome to Litsy!

What I'm reading for a mystery reading weekend event. It's been on my tbr list, so I'll be taking a break from wicked. Anyone else do weekend type reading events?

⭐⭐⭐

The beginning intrigued me, the middle rather bored me, and the last third did both.

Interesting story, but not necessarily enough that I would recommend it.

Great fun. I was babbling on about this at one point near 40-50% the way through like I was about Poor Things. I did not expect to like it this much.

This book is absolutely devastating. And absolutely necessary. Chapter 52 should carry a huge trigger warning, though. My God. My. God. I‘m nauseous.
Listening to it was awful. It cannot compare to horror those who have had to suffer through these shootings have experienced, but…Jesus.

A fantastic biography of the luxury fashion brand Gucci from the time of inception to its many public battles, it‘s creative processes, and ofcourse the brutal murder of Maurizio Gucci by his ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani.
P.s the back cover sounds like the entire book is on the murder but it‘s not! It‘s primarily a book on the fashion business. If you like books on fashion, business and strategy this makes for a gripping read. Loved it.

Found a stack of unopened #LitsyLove mail that I am hoping to get through by the end of the month. I think my problem is I don‘t open them til I am ready to write back 🤪 #LL

Cool, but also kind of gross. The cicadas are becoming more prevalent each day in Middle Tennessee. #audiowalk

It was an okay True Crime audiobook. I found some of it interesting, but at other times it seemed to drag, at least to me. Patti Hearst was just 18 when she was kidnapped one night by a radical group. She joined the group soon after being kidnapped by them. Though it sounded to me like a good case for Stockholm Syndrome. It had been discussed a few years before her arrest, but it was never brought up during her case.

3.5⭐️/5⭐️

I went to B&N to get Butter but left with these too thrillers instead. 😹
