Welcome to Litsy!

Hm. Not sure I would recommend this book even though I liked it. I tend to read for writing, and this writing is very clean & readable. I was drawn in by the cover art, and I tend to like dark stories. The main character is very likable but the story is just.. I don't know. It starts out seeming like a tragic comedy, then it gets weird, then it just gets more and more sad and way less funny. Ending was kind of satisfying, but not really.

My usual spot with the usual ladies... but this was not the usual read for me. It seemed like it was going to be quirky (and it was to some extent) but it was taking me a lot of time to really get invested/engaged.
By the end I was shocked by how different I felt about it vs. what I went in thinking. I was left a little drained.
A quick, easy read that packed a lot of emotion. I‘ll definitely read more by this author.

Greatly enjoying this so far! Happy President‘s Day—maybe I‘ll start a JFK or Obama book to celebrate.

Can‘t stop reading this! Owen Egerton is one of my favorite authors and he‘s a Texan too. Each book has such a feeling of wonder but reality too.

Saved this one from the returns cart today & very glad I did!

This was the least reviewed books of the year by Goodreads, so I wanted to take the time to give it some more credit. This book was wonderful. It talks about the loss of a son and a father loosing grip with reality. It is raw and a great book. Give it some love on Goodreads

4/5👽. Oliver Bonds grieves for his son following his sudden death. As a professor of religious studies Oliver needs to come to terms with his sons death and his own mortality. He finds solace in a society that believes that the earth is hollow. There are many beautiful passages, thought provoking language, and moments of poetry. Would highly recommend

So true........

My current read. Super pumped. 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

Evening reading. Really enjoying it so far. 📚
