Welcome to Litsy!

Early Christmas present from my boyfriend! I've been jonesing for a Kindle for ages! It's going to be much better for my eyes (and my patience) than my old tablet!
Currently reading (amongst other things) Mammoth by Douglas Perry.

Making friends at my regular pre-work tea and book stop. That's the second time this little guy has dropped by to say hello to me. (Read: steal crumbs from my plate)
In book related news, Mammoth has got off to a pretty good start but other reviews have said this doesn't last. Fingers crossed I have a different experience!

I'm a sucker for multiple characters arcs that all slowly weave together throughout the story.

A solid start and a good ending with occasional moments of brilliance sprinkled throughout, but this didn't quite make up for the rambling jumble of confusing flashbacks in the middle. Some great ideas, but it just didn't do it for me :(

Interesting synopsis but took too long to get anywhere. The characters were hard to keep track of and often spiraled off into a flashback. Despite the back story, found myself not caring and wondering why I'm still reading. From NetGalley.

I don't think anything is more frustrating than a book that starts off well, has a great premise, but then fizzles by the end. The beginning was an earthquake happens, bank robbers get a big robbery, they head off into the mountains, run into a girls camp, with the police unknowingly on their tail. By the end, the police are chasing kidnappers, the girls aren't part of the story, and the robbers are barely talked about. I don't know, almost pan

Picked this up on NetGalley and it is an interesting premise-3 bank robbers with their biggest score, a girl left behind at an all girls camp, and two police are stranded in the mountains after a bomb attack happens. I am still in the everybody getting into the mountains part, but great concept and delivery so far.
