Welcome to Litsy!

3 women move into an old house that Larry inherited from his aunt and converted into apartments. They receive a letter one day that they don‘t know who it is for asking to meet them at a coffee shop. It turns out they‘ve each been ghosted by someone in their lives so they start going to the coffee shop together each hoping the person who ghosted them will show up. They also start hearing strange noises coming from the attic. 👻👻/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘m paying better attention to who I am as a reader, and it is becoming clear that I am drawn to (and most enjoy)character-driven novels. For about a third of the book, this one seemed to check a lot of my boxes in that regard…but then it felt to me like it wanted to be plot-driven? I never truly connected to the characters and it felt like there were a lot of underdeveloped plot lines, so I never invested there either. Not bad, not great.

Started this convinced it was "not my thing" & ended up really enjoying it. It's quirky, hilarious, poignant, surprisingly deep and it has ghosts. And 3 fabulous MCs that on their own are great - well drawn, distinct, convincing back stories, satisfying journeys. But together they are just wonderful - they spring to life with all their flaws & hurt & hopes. The dialogue between them is done so well. And as for "the ghosts" .... ????

Starting this one tonight. Although my eyes are so sore from studying on a screen today, they feel like they've been pickled and I really should let them rest.

But to misquote Bon Jovi, I'll read while I'm alive and sleep when I'm dead 😉

Okay. I got impatient & decided to start this whether or not there‘s declared interest. 😅

Here‘s a stack of books I‘m willing to part with! See something you like? Post your own stack (using #BookTrade @monalyisha ) & I‘ll see if there‘s anything I‘d be interested in trading you for.

I hope others will post their own stacks & play, too, whether you like my books or are hoping to browse other people‘s posts & have them browse yours!

I read this for a book club with friends. I ended up liking it more than I expected to based on the synopsis & the first few chapters. It‘s actually very sweet & the characters grow on you as they learn how to become better friends to one another & to themselves. I also laughed out loud quite a few times! There‘s some wit in there! The mysteries aren‘t very mysterious, however. And I don‘t think it‘s a story that will stay with me.

3 strangers who have been ghosted in their lives, live under one roof, coming together to solve the mystery of who left them a note they all think is for them. Fun light read. #bookspinbingo free spot! #litsyatoz

Hoping to finish this book for my first #bookspinbingo and quality #20in4. @Andrew65

Three women who have been “ghosted” rent apartments in an old, renovated home. They become unlikely friends and allies in solving the mystery of some strange happenings that occur after they move in. The last few chapters of the book have some insightful thoughts about “ghosting” that I will think about for a while. I read this book because my teenage daughter loved it and wanted me to give it a try. I‘m glad I did!

Finished my #bookspin book for October! @TheAromaofBooks

This novel is light, and fast. The story follows three very different women who have all been “ghosted.” They all move into a rental property, that the owner inherited from his aunt. Framed as a mystery, this unlikely trio grow to become friends as they attempt to get closure and discover who is making all of those strange noises! ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Beginning my #bookspin book for October and my first book for the #OutstandingOctober #readathon!

Quirky book with a satisfying conclusion. Read it if you know what it‘s like to be ghosted-the book‘s message is strangely therapeutic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#QuarantineRead 11: Such a fun and quirky read. Every character made me smile. Though this is written as a mystery, it‘s more about the individuals telling the story.
