Welcome to Litsy!

13 squares filled for my August #BookSpinBingo

Unfortunately no, BINGO this time.

I did however finish both my #BookSpin [The Pearl Sister] and my #DoubleSpin [The Collide]

4½✨

I was a bit sceptical about CeCe. Out of all the sisters she's the one I didn't like, nor cared for. But in the end she's redeemed in my eyes. My heart went out to her and in the end she grew and changed so much, I couldn't help but love her.
That combined with Kitty's totally submersive story (I absolutely loved her from the get go) this was another excellent edition to the Seven Sisters.

And I'm on to the 4th book in my re-read journey of The Seven Sisters series. I can't wait to get to Pa Salt's story, but I'm really enjoying re-reading every single book again.

Started listening to The Pearl Sister by Lucinda Riley this morning. Two hours later…I really should do something else, but I love these stories and the narrators are always wonderful. Working my way through to Pa Salt. I hope to get there before the end of the year. #SeriesLove2023

These books are so comforting and easy to read. I always enjoy getting lost in them and they‘re such a welcome break from demanding literature. This one (book4) could have done with some editing tho! It‘s a massive book but I loved the Australian history and it just whizzed by. 👍

I may have got a little excited in the charity shop yesterday! But I was caffeine depleted and running on the excitement you get when go shopping without the kids!! 😆 #bookhaul

Day 1: beach 🏝

This book is partially set in Thailand 🇹🇭. Love this series!

I'm a true fan of Riley's writing and this installment of the Seven Sisters series was really enjoyable, although for some reason it took me longer to warm to the central character and her story. The historical and cultural aspects of life in Australia was truly fascinating and has ignited a spark in me to know more. It also had some moments of true drama and emotion that were wonderful.

I am truly loving this series by Lucinda Riley. This was the 4th book in the series. In this book, we traveled to historic Australia and the mystery surrounding the pearl diving trade. A truly magical journey 💜

Jumping straight into the 4th book in this wonderful series 😍

I really like this Seven Sisters series. The Pearl Sister was no exception. The historical part of this book was about the pearl industry in Australia - which I knew nothing about. The modern part was about sister CeCe finding her way in the world and discovering her ancestry.

I don't think it's a spoiler to say that I suspect young Eddie is more than just a supporting character...

Early days yet but it is nice to be back in this world #audio

Again a wonderful book couldn't put it down

One more book - massive in size, but surprisingly quick to read. The author through this series takes her readers to different remote places across the globe and teach them something about these places while they‘re there.
I had some issues with style and character portrayal... For example CeCe being dyslexic doesn't mean she should be lacking general knowledge!
Although I am looking forward to the next sister's story!

I got my new kindle paperwhite! And I'm reading this book, the 4th in the Seven Sisters series. I mostly like real books in my hands, but since I started using overdrive from my library, I decided a kindle was justified! I had one of the very first ones, used some, but it died, so hence my new one!

Another captivating story in the Seven Sisters series. A very enjoyable read on a rainy Sunday! Great storytelling...

Another awesome book in an amazing series!!! The only bad thing is having to wait for the next one!!!

‘We shall cross oceans together with a sense of adventure.‘

I finally have it!! None of my local bookstores carries it when it was released and then the post office lost my delivery when I ordered it. Took a few weeks, but it‘s finally in my hand!!! 💙

#3 for 2018
Fourth book in this series and the best one yet.
Fans of Joy Dettman's Woody Creek Series and Kate Morton will enjoy.

😍 I LOVED this! This is definitely my second-favorite in the series, after Book 1. An EPIC story that takes you to the beaches of Thailand and to the land of Australia generations ago. I really liked seeing Aboriginal characters celebrated. The female protagonists, Kitty and CeCe, were an absolute delight to read about.

At 682 pages, I'm declaring this my first chunkster of the year!
Bring on Book 5, I hope it'll be another 5⭐ read.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I remember I could never put down my book when I was younger, not even for family meals. While I don't do that anymore during family meals, I'm happy that I've been using my phone less when eating alone and picking up my book again instead. 💙📚

(Really enjoying this one - it's a chunkster and I can't stop!)

Loved it ❤️ This book made me see a new side to CeCe & she grew on me more as the book progressed as did the story! Some emotional ups and downs in this one, some sad stories and some happy stories. This book had me so hooked it kept me reading until gone 3am two days running & finished 704 pages in around 27 hours! Couldn‘t put it down in the second half, and think I picked some clues up on the underlying theme in the series. Now need to wait👇

Finally! Let's do this - 😍
