Welcome to Litsy!

Been reading a lot that has taxed my brain. It's time to relax with some good history based fiction. I'm pretty sure I own every L'Amour book. I should probably work on reading them.

I liked the characters, I liked the plot, I didn't like the annoyingly obscure writing. And I kept waiting for Shane to say 'Go ahead. Make my day.' 😂

8/80

Finished this delightful short read , set in the v wild Wild West a tale of two forlorn lovers , a hapless young poet a “doper” attracted to the shady side of life but somehow a loveable rogue who you want to seeturn around, falls for the captain of the local towns mine new bride & so they run away with a stolen horse and lots of stolen cash ,the bounty hunters and sheriff close down on them. Would never have picked itup bookclub pick, fantastic!

Little charity shop number. Inspired by a podcast I'm obsessed with and having never seen the film, thought I'd give it a go.
Liked the teenage girl narrator, very nicely done, and how her relationships evolved.

For my book club we read Red Rabbit, which I would characterize as a spaghetti horror western. A ragtag group set off across the plains to collect a bounty on a witch, running into all sorts of horrors along the way. It was a bloody ride! But there‘s more at play than the group realizes. I loved the two cowboys, Ned and Moses. This is a genre I would love to read more of! The cover is also gorgeous.

I don‘t have too many chunksters on my tbr but I pulled these 5 titles, titles I‘ve been most wanting to read, with 500 or more pages to be read this year. I hope to average one book a quarter. Wish me luck!

Read this for my kids. Really cool story, and would definitely recommend!

For years, I was nervous to try this one, as Deadwood is maybe my favorite TV series of all time. But having read Paris Trout and realizing what a great writer Pete Dexter is, I figured I was in safe hands (and after all, the book came first). David Milch may claim his series has nothing to do with the novel; I'm not sure I buy it, but there are major differences in the story structure and characters' personalities. Like with the show, 👇
