Welcome to Litsy!

Finally reading some of my books that I‘ve collected for free over the years but never read because I always found something more exciting at the library. This book was just ok for me, the storyline was different so that made it a bit better but it was a little too slow for me at the start and never really picked up. Not sure why it was reviewed so highly....

I originally read this because the author is a friend of a friend. And I loved it. I went on to read her next two books. Wish she‘d come out with another one! #Tuneintonovember #shine

I love it when my books get their #shine on 😍😍

I was good with this quirky story up until three last few pages. Maybe it was how the author alluded to future. I got a little confused on if it was really going to happen or if it was just a hallucination. A more clearly defined ending would have made this a pick for me. #meh #2017christyread #bookclub

Found this beauty at the dollar store and man was it lovely! The story of a relationship between two flawed people against the background of one of them going to the moon. Considering I had a dream the other night that I was going to the moon, I decided this was a timely pick 🤓

Netzer beautifully explores the struggle between acceptance and individuality. The struggle is not only to be accepted by society, but also the battle to accept yourself as a flawed human being. This book reminded me of a saying from St. Francis De Sales - "Be who you are, and be that well."

Loving this book so far...not loving how my cat sits on it every time I put it down 💛🐾

I won this in a giveaway from the lovely podcast Adventures with Words ages ago. I don't know why I have taken so long to read it. So far, So good.

This one is going to be kind of a reach for today's prompt. I'm going with this book because diamonds shine. 💎 💎 💎

Still need to read this one... I feel like I'm saying that constantly. 😂

Chilling in the hotel room, starting a new read. #hopeipackedenoughbooks

I've been really getting into the bookish podcasts the last couple of days, All the Books, what should I read next, Get booked and Reading Envy to name a few. The only issue is my rapidly growing TBR list, of which Shine, Shine, Shine (from Get Booked) is just one!! I've also been getting stuck into the garden while listening and thought I'd share my magnificent new rhubarb plant. Let's hope he survives!

I haven't been doing the photo challenge this month, but I had to jump in today after seeing everyone's blue books. Blue is my favorite color, and the main color in our living room (decided upon after I found this amazing mirror). Yay blue! 💙

It was really well written, an interesting story, just hard to follow as an audiobook for me, which made it a challenge to come back to.
Worth the time, but I think that's important to say.

House sitting for the weekend, and it's a million degrees outside. Internet is down so instead of Netflix and knitting, it is snuggling a slightly annoyed kitty and starting this book. Good thing print books are still a thing because my phone is about to die!

I liked this book but I got very lost at the end, which left me wanting more. Father and son on the autism spectrum are fascinating characters. The wife/mother's main quirk is that she has no hair, on her head or her body. Their lives are fascinating. I only wish the ending had been better.

Everyone is so weird and refreshingly human.
