Welcome to Litsy!

Finally, finally finished this one... overall, it‘s not the worst book I‘ve ever read, but IMHO, it is very boring with a weak plot. The character are mostly uninteresting, and at times the time skips feel like a crutch. However, the last 60 pages actually make the book worth reading and has some really beautiful lines and imagery. I give it 🌟🌟.. the ending is its saving grace... #pbc #genrebending @Wife

I finished last month, but mailing today. So, Becky, you will have it soon. I don‘t want to give any spoilers, but just say I‘m happy to have read it. Only a so-so because it had a couple slow spots. 3/5 ⭐️s
I‘m nervous about a couple of my reads coming from the group, but I‘m brave and determined. 😬
Background is the puzzle my grandson and I worked on last night.

A somewhat disappointing so-so read. Confusing timeline, too many twists and lack of finesse in storytelling making this such a frustrating read. However, I appreciate that one of the main characters was based on the true historical character Anna Swan.

2. Started The Frankenstein Chronicles on Netflix. Interesting show. 🎬

3. The Thunder of Giants by Joel Fishbane. Just started today and so far so good! Yes, would recommend it to those who like circus themed books and historical fiction fans. This story is a blend of fact and fiction. Love it! 🎪🎡🎈

🌟 Thanks @MinDea for the fun #HumpDayPost ! 🌟

Snow this afternoon meant I got to finish this. The historical story of Anna Swan is interwoven with the fictional story of Andorra Kelsey. It is beautifully written with strong well formed characters. I enjoyed it.
