Welcome to Litsy!

This one was a struggle. I probably would have bailed if I didn‘t feel the strongest obligation to finish it for #horrorpost #litsyscreams. I do really wish all books could have the diversity of characters that this one does though. We need more representation of diverse sexuality and mental illnesses. â­�ï¸�â­�ï¸�
I‘ll get this one back to you probably next week @SkeletonKey

Off to a great start with the #8intwo with Jojen sleeping on my stack of reads 😂 #catsoflitsy #bookbed

I hate to say it but overall I just wasn‘t a fan of this book. It had its moments in places but the thoughts of imp were just too all over the place for me to even follow at times. And obviously I understand the mind of someone with schizophrenia is probably not always coherent but I feel like it distracted me too much from Imp telling a story. @collegecatlady this one will be on its way to you Monday #litsyscreams

Guys. I‘d be so much further along with this book if I actually liked it 😭😭😭😭 #litsyscreams

It‘s a rainy day outside but inside the house is clean, candles are burning and I am going to make major progress on this book today. My goal is to have it finished by tomorrow so I can get it sent off for my #litsyscreams #horrorpost group

ITS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!!!! #24in48 #readathon

And next up for my #litsyscreams reading

I have been really bad with reading lately. Im@so sorry ahead of time to my #listyscreams group. I think I bit more then I could chew in regards to all the book swaps im doing BUT I just finished one and im going to demolish little heaven so @SkeletonKey I‘ll be sending that to you this week. And @TheBookAddict I just got the drowning girl. Thank goodness it‘s memorial weekend!

@Callemarie it‘s on its way, I know I said I‘d get it to the post office this past Friday but I kept on forgetting. I remembered to take it with to work today so I could stop at the post office after work. I sent it by media mail, so I‘m crossing my fingers and hoping this time it gets to you. Last time I sent it through media mail it got returned to me. Let me know when it gets there. 😊 #horrorpost #litsyscreams

Ok, so I had a hard time getting into it. I liked the story but had a hard time with the story telling. It was like reading a journal and there was quite a bit of repetition and rambling before getting to the point. I know that the style was meant to show us how Imp‘s mind works, but it was still rough. I am also a bit confused as to what really happened in the end. #horrorpost #litsyscreams
@Callemarie this will be headed to you on Friday 🤞�

I finished this book today at lunch. It left me with a lot of questions. I will have to take some time to store down my thoughts before I can post a review.

You guys! It‘s finally hot up here in northern Illinois (an hour or so away from Wisconsin)... and it‘s also very humid. It‘s been in the 70s and raining on and off since yesterday so my hair has been super frizzy, I have the box fan on, and a 24 oz bottle full of ice and water handy. Anyway, after tomorrow it‘ll be 3 weeks until I‘ll be off for the summer! It‘s my first year having the summer off so I‘m excited!!!

Getting ready to let these two #brats loose in our living room while I read. The stay in their playpen while we have dinner. We don‘t need them wreaking havoc while we eat. They‘re only 4 mos. old, they‘re growing quite fast!

The story is getting better too. #litsyscreams #horrorpost

Getting some reading done while #TookeyToles relaxes on top of me...

“Because she could not stop for me, I kindly stopped for death.�

Yes, yes you are. Please get to the actual story!!! I want to know what happened!

I know that the author is trying to get us inside Imp‘s head and have us experience how Imp processes things and is trying to deal with whatever happened but repeating this sentiment over and over again in different words is getting on my nerves. Ugh! Sorry guys, I‘m struggling here. Liking what I know so far about the story just not liking the style, I guess.

I‘ve got “hungry eyesâ€� just staring me down. #dogsoflitsy #MomoToles #mybrat #puppyeyes #hungryeyes

Hmmm...This one has been kinda hard to get into. It‘s a bit confusing. It‘s written in the first person point of view and it randomly has sentences here and there that are in the third person and it‘s all from the main character‘s point of view. #horrorpost #litsyscreams

“We never went to church, because my mother was a lapsed Roman Catholic, and always said I‘d be better off steering clear of Catholicism, if only because it meant I‘d never have to through the trouble of eventually lapsing.â€�

Made me chuckle...I was raised Catholic and was not allowed to miss a single day of church. I don‘t attend church now. I still believe in God, but I don‘t believe in religion. I guess I‘m a lapsed Catholic as well. 🤷ðŸ�½â€�♀ï¸�

A passage from ‘The Drowning Girl‘. So far, this book is rather interesting. It‘s point of view, through India‘s eyes, is something that I have never seen before in any sort of media.

215 pages in and I'm hating every minute of this read. If it wasn't for book club, I'd throw it aside with great force. PLEASE tell me it gets better. 118 pages to go. ☹�

Day 21 #readingwomenmonth - mental health. The MC in this book has schizophrenia. Also, this is the second time I'm using this book for a prompt/photo challenge. I can't pass up the opportunity to shout about this book and how it is so good and if you haven't read it what are you waiting for. Maybe I'm due for a reread...

I love #unreliablenarrators and this book was the first one that came to mind. This book is so, so, so good, it... I can't really describe it. But I highly recommend it to anyone who likes literary or speculative fiction that is dark, twisty, artistic, with the tendancy to knock your feet right out from under you. In the best way. #maybookflowers

Well this is a great beginning! I love it. #AllHallowsReads

Waiting at the airport for a flight to Lihue, Kauai! Trip is for my mom's sixtieth birthday. This is my in-flight read. It feels Halloween appropriate but perhaps not Hawaii appropriate. We'll see how far I can get on the plane. #AllHallowsReads

This book is amazingly complex and brilliant so far. I've been a fan of her short fiction for years, but it only lately occurred to me to try her novels. I shouldn't have waited.

���������� we keep our ghosts alive and sometimes we invent them altogether, we give them to other people and we pretend we have exorcised them and sometimes a story is not factual but it is true. this book is incredible and you should read it

please read this book, please, I feel like it's resonating through my entire body, it's written so perfectly! it is impossible to describe which is honestly probably the point but it is about ghosts and girls and I can feel it becoming very important to me
