Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve never heard of any of these books and don‘t know if they‘re good, but I can‘t resist $1 books. With most of these, I judged the book by its pretty cover.

#localauthor the author and main character comes from the city i grew up in. Better, the main character comes from the same neighbourhood. Although the author describes it as the dutch bronx (which is not true)

Finally sinking my teeth into a friend's recommendation. The translation is a little funny at times but mostly the prose is crackling and the characters enormously flawed and complex. Great fun all around! At this rate, I think I might be able to finish this one around three or four this afternoon. So far I have about 200 pages left! Luckily, my beloved makes excellent coffee, so I'm properly caffeinated ☕️ #24in48 #amreading 📚 @Litsy @24in48 🙃

Let the reading marathon commence! I don't expect to finish all of these, but it's always good to be prepared! The top two might come with me on my trip out West but I'm hoping to get through at least two out of the other five. I'm optimistic, since I've been training all week. Whoever thought up a reading marathon is an absolute genius. I can't imagine a better excuse to sit around and do nothing but read all day. Thanks, universe! #readharder 📚

This story about a family falling apart is great , intense. Probably one of the best books I have read in the last years.

Loved this book and really has an unsettling ending. Comparisons to a Dutch Franzen are apt in terms of weaving multiple family members' stories together.
