Welcome to Litsy!

Have YOU read this book yet?

If you have, how about that ending? Were you puzzled?

The book focused on the lives of the two main characters, Rose and Odalie, with Odalie being “the other typist.”

The author was exploring relationships and human interaction....something we all have in our lives and need to deal with.

The ending is incredible and will have you re-thinking all that happened.

Two of my recent favs #setin1920s #MarchMagic

Thanks so much for sending this back and for the spices @DanaManiac I can‘t wait to experiment with them.

I really enjoyed reading all of your notes. I‘m glad to see you all were as confused as I was 🤣 #LMPBC

3.5 ⭐️

The story is well written and I didn't mind the slow build at all. However, considering how many little hints were dropped throughout the book, I would have preferred a clearer ending. The theories are numerous and confusing. I just wish I knew what actually happened... I can‘t believe Round 11 of #LMPBC has come to and end!!

This book has been on my TBR since it was published in 2013. At the time, it got a lot of positive buzz from several bloggers that I follow. Since then, I've read one of Rindell's later books (this one was her debut), Eagle & Crane, and loved it. All that to say, I was anticipating something a little creepy & intriguing, but ended up honestly being bored most of the time. Hardly anything happens for long swaths of book, other than the narrator ⬇️

I‘ll be honest here: I have no idea what I just read, but it‘s a pick anyway because I loved the writing, the time period, and the characters. I was fascinated with the fact that I was fascinated by not knowing wth was really going in. This was an #LMPBC selection so I won‘t say much more, but I would truly love to chat after the last person has read it

There is a fair amount of love for this book on Litsy, and Kiera Knightly is producing a series for Hulu based on it...but...🤷🏼‍♀️ I‘m not going to put spoilers out for my #LMPBC group, though I‘m not sure I could if I tried. 2/5🤷🏼‍♀️s

Mailing to Christine today🌹

This was my #LMPBC pick this month, so I won‘t say too much except WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED??

I put this in the mail this morning. I can‘t wait to hear what the rest of you think!

I am excited to keep our group going. We should pick a new name.
Here's a mish mosh of books for my pick. Anything strike your fancy?

Can‘t remember if I already posted a review of this one. Cool story about a typist in New York in the 1920s for a police station.

Pick - mostly

I liked the story, but it was a long climb for a short slide. I have a soft spot for an unreliable narrator, and it‘s a book with an ambiguous ending that makes you think. 👍

Next up

This book did not sit well with me, left more unanswered questions than I prefer. Not sure I would compare this to Gone Girl, which what I am seeing on the cover.

This book is for book club next week. I must start now.

This is the best book I‘ve read this year. Surprised it wasn‘t on my radar when it came out in 2013. Told from the viewpoint of a grown orphan desperate to have a “bosom buddy,” the narrator‘s inability to tell the story from beginning without letting hints of the future slip in gives this tale a certain mystique. Every character is lovable even when s/he might not be likable. Perfect start to my St Pat‘s Day!

Finally getting around to this one 5 years late. Four pages in and loving the writing!

Please please please talk about the ending with me. I am desperate to discuss

These are the two books that came to mind for #9to5. Rose and Katey are separated by a decade, but they both work secretarial jobs. Something about this setting a hundred years ago really works for me. Now, being a legal assistant in 2018, I realize there nothing interesting or sexy about the job. 🤣🤣🤣 #fiercefeb

Gonna dive into this one tonight. 🤓

This has been fun finding words that match books.

Thanks @Libby1 for the list. LOVED IT.

Today's Word: WORSHIPFUL

THE OTHER TYPIST by Suzanne Rindell showed a worshipful friendship that was also not a good friendship.

This book was terrific, but still has me confused. Have you read it?

Getting some reading in while my husband is out fishing

#anditsaugust Day 17: addiction
Litsy is definitely one of my current addictions lol

Catching up on #backtoreading : Day 10, reading buddies
If you can't tell, that's teenaged Gin Eyre reading with her bestie, Maggie

Finally starting this one. I've been threatening to read it for months in my TBR photos. I know some would never lay a book down like this, or fold back one side of the paperback but I like to be comfortable with my books! #currentrread #riotgrams

I was traveling for work, so I just got to open my #summersantagoespostal today! Oh man! Thank you so so so much @BookFreakOut ! Everything looks so amazing. I haven't read any of the books yet, but they do seem right up my alley. Great job curating! And I am so in love with my new yarn Lizzie Bennet. Lizzie is one of my favorites and it means so much that you made me something.

HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE 🌞 I have been waiting all day and rushed home to discover that I am LEGIT the most spoiled Litten! What an amazing package @TheKidUpstairs Thank you SO much!!! Complete with recipes related to the books and a super cool HP puzzle that I am taking to the cottage with me this weekend! Haven't read any of these books either 😍 @BookishMarginalia #summersantagoespostal #summersolsticebookexchange

I thoroughly enjoyed this book with it's unreliable narrator and watching how the righteous fall. The 1920s setting was well crafted and was a wonderful escape. With all its twist and turns it was entertaining and left you wondering what was the truth at the end of the novel #unreliablenarrator

#unreliablenarrators it took me a while to catch on to the fact that she was unreliable and it made for a great twist!

Didn't get to this on in April so now it's #maysmostanticipated #maybookflowers

This book! I really, really enjoyed the armchair travel and distraction it provided, but I was really confused about the ending. It didn't make any sense at all. I can see how this would make a great book club read for this very reason. I like my endings for the most part, neat and tidy. No loose ends. So I'm giving this 3.5 stars for the glitz, glamor and opulence. 🍸🍸🍸

Started this little number last night. So far so good! Loving the 1920s setting. #currentlyreading

Kitty kneading action shot! I have to have this finished for book club Wednesday - luckily it's good so far because I only started reading this afternoon so I have to spend all my free time on it. #catsoflitsy

#marchintoreading #setinthe1920s
Trying to go beyond Fitzgerald for this prompt. I've read Geisha and Gatsby, but the other two are TBR!

I didn't quite know what to expect with this choice. What I found was a great story with some fun twists! I listened to the audio and am putting it on my TBR to read again in paper. #LitsyAtoZ

Long drive = time to hear another good book 😀 #LitsyAtoZ

I'm behind on my #readjanuary posts.
Here are a few of my books with fun fonts.

Deciding if the lady is one person or multiple personalities...you decide.

It's weird to think I want to be Odalie.

Wow that was a head scratcher! I would love to hear other readers' takes on that ending - talk about an unreliable narrator. The audiobook narrator was excellent as well.

The reviews for this one reference Patricia Highsmith, Notes on a Scandal, Hitchcock, The Great Gatsby ... I'M IN!

Was on my TBR list for a long time! Bought a 5 dollar copy in the bargain bin at Chapters. Glad I didn't pay full price. It was an okay book. Love the 1920s setting, the atmosphere, and most of the story...It really lost me near the end.

Not as good as her newest but still solid. I kept seeing this as a movie with sexy 1920s clothing and dark speakeasies. She does immerse you in the time period.

As recommended by Miss Liberty and since I really enjoyed her second book "THREE MARTINI LUNCH"
