Welcome to Litsy!

Now for our Friday evening read📚

Have had this arc for years and finally picked it up. Not bad, some parts that could have been edited down, and polished, but overall an easy read

Delighted to receive my #Jolabokaflodswap today. Thank you @StellarDoc - I've been wanting to read this one for a while!

The landscape of memory was like that. Sometimes the near seemed far, far away and the faraway was right beneath your feet 🍿🎟🧠

#WinterWonderland For some reason my brain went to this title for today‘s prompt #GoneAway. I honestly only remember the premise not the resolution 🙄😬which is probably why I gave the book a so-so rating. I recall being underwhelmed but I‘ve seen plenty of glowing reviews. 25 years ago, as a teenager Wyatt survived a movie theatre shooting, now a girl from his past, who also experienced trauma that summer has contacted him with new information.

A crime story set in Oklahoma City in the summer of 1986, when two tragedies shake up the community. Six movie-theater employees were killed in an armed robbery, while one inexplicably survived. Then, a teenage girl vanishes from the annual State Fair. Neither crime was ever solved. Twenty-five years later, the impact of those unsolved cases echo through survivors‘ lives. I was engrossed all the way through.

Life kept getting in the way of me finishing this one, but it really was excellent. Loved the connection of past and present, and I actually did not see the ending coming at all. Looking forward to his next book, which is out this fall! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Starting this one next. I‘ve read positive reviews, and it sounds right up my alley!

This is a melancholy story that is hard to shake. It‘s one of my favorite reads so far this year.

I took my first sick day today in my seven years of teaching due to the most gnarly sore throat I've ever had in my life. Working my way through this one with my good boy serving as sweet company. #teachersoflitsy

This book grabbed almost from the first page. Loss and sadness just permeates this story. I‘m so glad I read it. #mypagehabit #quarterlybox #bookbox #mystery #crime #readmyowndamnbooks

An entertaining, fast-paced book about two cold cases. Some plot holes and everything kind of conveniently resolved a little bit too quickly; however, like I said, entertaining--good "mind candy."

Although the two main storylines connected only superficially, I enjoyed the read.

Morning reading. 📚

3$ 👏👏👏📖📚❤️

I really enjoyed the tapestry this author wove, using a current case of harassment and two cold murder cases to tell a complex story of two people trying to get answers and solve the mysteries surrounding the crimes that touched their lives. Top notch storytelling and unforgettable characters make this one a keeper.

I tried to start this book a couple of times on Kindle, then bought the audiobook and couldn't stop listening!!! Two cold cases, a current mystery all in Oklahoma City. Cool how the colors on the cover match the Internet OKC cityscape.

Cold cases! Any and All. #17booklove #asubjectilove

This was a decent read, not sure if it was the book or me, but I had a difficult time connecting with the pages. Wanted to love it, but I didn't. Not so sure I would read this author again 😁my breakfast was delish and so was my company☕️💙 Hoping my next read will be more satisfying

#BookandBrew #photoadaynov16 Needed a jolt of caffeine, so my brew is coffee, nice and cold because the temperature is hot😰 Book is starting to pick up, although I admit to some #readingADD today

I looooved it but I'm a sucker for a cold case mystery. This book had two old cases and one new. There was something about it that reminded me of Case Histories. The one sort of strange thing was how many times the characters went to Whole Foods!

#PhotoadayNov16 #NovemberTBR These are my fiction picks for the month! I also have 5 #NonfictionNovember picks as well 🙄I might be biting off more than I can chew...b/c I'm having houseguests for a week + in mid November. Time will tell...Happy Readings everyone 💕I'm already in the middle of We Need To Talk About Kevin, so that saves me some 300 pages 😻

Surprisingly good!

Can't shake this one. And don't want to let it go.

I recommended this to at least a dozen people last year because it was just. that. good. The best first chapter I've read in I don't know how long -- it's a first chapter that demands to be read again as soon as you finish the book.

Berney just won an Edgar for this one! It's a fantastic mystery and one of my favorite reads of 2015.
