Welcome to Litsy!

Sorry folks, usually I‘m not like that but it‘s really sheer unbelievable to me how my fellow library-readers have rated this with 4,4 of 5 stars.

They must have read a completely different book. I wonder, which.

I. Am. _So_glad_. That. This. Is. Over.‼�
I hope I‘ll have forgotten about it latest by tomorrow. One-dimensional, stereotyped characters – and so many of them that I often didn‘t know whose point of view I‘m reading although every chapter carries a name. The men sounded alike and the women also. 🙄

Plus this unbelievable story that adds up tragedy and drama. 🤮 That‘s not light at all. It‘s a pain to read and it cements traditional role models.

@BayouGirl85 @RamsFan1963 I‘m late to this #TalkAboutItTuesday – crazy how I can‘t tell where exactly this past one and a half weeks have gone to because I‘ve been busy all the time.

📚 – It‘s a firm 🤨 since there a few passages therein I love (always when they meet whales ðŸ�‹ and dolphins ðŸ�¬) but all the rest until now is disappointing. Maybe it‘s not for me.

🎧📚 Oh, I �� it (🇬🇧 “North of Boston�). I love Pirio and how the plot is told.

Not the best photo.

But I badly wanted to share my sunny ☀ï¸�? balcony reading with you. I hope the sunshine and the nice temperatures (22 °C = 71,4 °F) help me to finally be able to appreciate this. ??â€�♀ï¸�

I‘m not yet in far, chapter 4, but it‘s not yet getting me. It feels a bit slow and clumsy … Beginning with the fact that right after the start I thought: “I have outgrown 10 year old protagonistsâ€�. Meanwhile I found out there‘s more personnel – but I‘m still not hooked.

Funny thing: My physiotherapist has recently read it and also felt “meh� about it.

Well, Litsy‘s database says, I did not yet read this book – at least not during the last, don‘t know, 3,5 years – and Litsy _must_ know. 😂 So chances are high that I _really_ don‘t know this story. Even if I do, in case it didn‘t convince me, more than 3 years seem enough to have forgotten about the plot. 😉

So let‘s dive in‼ï¸�

I forgot that I recently have put this on hold. It dropped in this morning.

So my efforts of turning my back on “light entertainmentâ€� aren‘t very successful.

I now remember I wanted to read it because I didn‘t know it. 3 minutes ago, I learned it‘s „🇩🇪 Dem Himmel so nah“ / “🇬🇧 Silver Liningsâ€� published with a new title. Why do they do thatâ�“🤔 Anyway, the old title isn‘t ringing a bell with me, neither, so I‘ll read and see what happens.
