Welcome to Litsy!

Made quick work of my December #bookspin pick by…not finishing it. I knew this was headed for the DNF pile when I had to look up 10 words in the first few pages, and the unstable mother displayed a penchant for speaking in Shakespeare quotes. I have nothing against learning new words, but it felt very much like a book that was going to prioritize style over story, and I just don‘t have the energy for that kind of thing right now. Next!

My Europa Editions collection. Tagged book in progress. Adding Lambda soon.

First blog in a few weeks is up. Not really book related but I would love it if youd check it out anyways. Link is in my bio.

Hi #jb friends!! I wanted to stop in and say I am so incredibly sorry I haven‘t sent out any recent notes. It‘s been two months!! Since I homeschool, my days are just eaten away by four different kids, plus meals and chores and activities, and by the end of it all I am SO exhausted. I PROMISE I will get back to you all, and will do so soon!! #justbecause #pleasedonthateme

Just finished this book tonight. It wasn‘t at all what I expected. This will stick with me awhile. @arubabookwoman This will be coming back to you in the next couple of days!

Working on this today. Thank you @suvata for the book darts. I‘ve never had any before! @arubabookwoman Thank you for the Quilt bookmark! I love our little #GroupP

“Sorry” is on its way to you, @Laura317

I did not like this book when I started it. To quote one of my fellow #LMPBC Group P readers, it was “raw”. About 55% in, I became fascinated with the story and indigenous people of Australia. There is a lot going on in this novel — snakes, Shakespeare, religion/spirituality, abuse, mental illness, murder, dysfunctional families, and so much more. I now think it was well worth the read but I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone. It‘s too sad.

Look what I received in the mail yesterday. Can‘t wait to sink my teeth into it.

Wow. This book was amazingly written and connected with me emotionally. I‘m so glad you decided to share this with us @arubabookwoman

Super excited to get reading on @arubabookwoman pick for #lmpbc!

Almost finished my #LMPBC book and came across this very apt phrase. @Laura317 @collegecatlady @suvata

Reading my #LMPBC book and enjoying it. It‘s going slowly as I try to think about it and make comments. Since I‘ve never done this before I‘m not sure if I‘m commenting too much or to little. I hope my reading partners are ready to visit Australia! @suvata @Laura317 @collegecatlady
