Welcome to Litsy!

Day 20 - #3Books #IReadSolelyBasedOnTheirCovers

1. #Sister - The wording on the cover made me curious.

2. #WinterGarden - Gorgeous winter scene.

3. #112263 - Wanted to find out what Stephen King had written about JFK‘s death.

Engrossing. But a dumb ending.

Emilio‘s wife came out of the house, interrupting my silent solo. A security light switched on illuminating her path toward me. I imagined she was coming to appease the madwoman in the garden before I started boiling up the bunnies.

The premise of this psychological thriller is great - a woman flies to London when her younger sister is reported missing. The book reveals that the sisters know very little about one another, but through her hunt, the older sister comes to recognize the importance of family and trust. The idea was great but the plot lagged at times. Good if you don‘t mind a mystery that moves slowly from time-to-time.

A very interesting crime story so far...last pick pick from my British book club

Family relationships - between sisters, between daughter and mother, absent father. Was she murdered, was it a suicide? I really enjoyed this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5

Just started this book this afternoon, pretty good so far.

Overall I liked this, the style it was written in was interesting and done well, in my opinion. And it was a neat trick that the resolution to the main mystery was not super shocking ... because that wasn't actually where the big twist came in. The plot was a bit "Um what??" at times though, and the characters felt not very fleshed out. But it was enjoyable! 3/5 ⭐️

Like you, she has the gift of finding happiness in small things. She pans life for gold and finds it daily.

Maybe terror and dread, once experienced, embed themselves into you even when the cause has gone, leaving behind a sleeping horror, which is to easily awakened.

I've literally never heard or seen anyone mention this book, and I don't even remember how I first heard about it, so this will be interesting!

This book is dark and chilling and shows how far siblings will go for each other.

Between the superslow pace, writing style I couldn‘t connect to and characters I never warmed up to, it was quite hard to actually enjoy reading this story. It was a very slow ride and it took me a whole month to reach the final page. The last part did improve considerably and the final twist was a huge surprise that will make you reconsider everything you read before. I don‘t think that made up for the rest of the story though.

2,5/5 stars

I am going to beat you, Dutch book! Made it to chapter 15 and about 125 pages left... I can't say I like the story, but I'm going to make it to the end just so I can say I've read a book in Dutch this year. 😆😂

Blogging done for the night, so now it's back to Sister and try to struggle through a few pages in Dutch! 😂 Lila doesn't even want to try and decided to snooze instead. 😉😻

My god!!!! I've finished this book in 7 hours, I couldn't put it down! It was amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone

I'm getting through my #tbr pile 👍💁

That's it: I'm finally going to keep the promise I made to myself to read at least one Dutch book this year. I need to finish I few ARCs first with upcoming deadlines, but then Sister (Zusje) it is... Boy this is going to be a struggle, because my Dutch is preeeeetty rusty. 😂😂

This was...weird. But not in a "wowzer!" sort of way, unfortunately. By the time it wrapped up, I felt a little like I'd spent a lot of time with someone who went out of their way to make our time together kind of exhausting. I do appreciate that the format of the story was unique and that the suspense was purposefully structured, but I just can't muster love for this one.

Well, my sweet girl loves the book...will I? Just getting started ~ don't you love that feeling?! I never read the blurbs on the jackets or the details in reviews, so it is always an adventure! #catsoflitsy

The description really caught my attention. Cant wait to get started

Tense and well-plotted. Didn't come close to figuring it out until almost the very end. (This pug is my official "this book was great!" picture and I am totally not sorry about it.)
