Welcome to Litsy!

My French Café is done just as Xavier and Elijah arrive in Arras and meet up with some French soldiers who have heard of them #literarycrew

Taken a while to get round to reading this and a few re starts.
However, once id established first names and family names and nicknames, very readable though harrowing in content.
Gorgeous story of banned love, hidden male adoration and the acceptance of others.

Deep sigh 😔

This was written in the 1930s - but switch out some of the words and it sounds remarkably similar to….well, you know.

Started today on my drive to school #ohcanada

While I thought the book itself was a good story about a man named Nick, I unfortunately could not make a connection to Nick Carraway. It's disappointing for me because I love the Great Gatsby - one of my favourite books - and I came to this book excited. I won't go so far as to say this was a bad read though, because if you can separate it from Nick Carraway, I thought it was a good read.

Another 4 books on the National Book Awards longlist. I had no idea the tagged book was such a chunkster until it arrived!

I also have 2 on order from eBay but they‘re not arriving for a few weeks yet.

I‘m reading The Antidote in print - it‘s too early to say what I think yet. I‘m also listening to The Sisters on audio and, goodness me, it‘s long! 😬

ESPIONAGE-EVIL-EPIC
The tumultuous story of spying during WWII intertwined with the romance of Charlie and Finn who you will meet as you read this mesmerizing novel.

Every emotion will be stirred as you turn each page. You will seek revenge along with the characters—
Will you find it????

When you accidentally stumble on a bar named after the book you're reading

Don't know how I managed, but I did.

I finished this one up at the end of August and forgot to post. It was good, but I didn‘t love it. The Summer After the War really worked for me, but neither this one nor Major Pettigrew's Last Stand have lived up to my first experience with Simonson's writing. This was my August #Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
