Welcome to Litsy!

I was looking for something light, fluffy, and quick after a couple of heavy reads, and this definitely fit that. It‘s also rather silly. I was heading for a so-so rating when the fat shaming, which was sprinkled lightly through the book, came hard and heavy at a scene toward the end. This book was published in 2014. Can‘t we do better than this?

This book is light and cozy, but it took me a relatively long time to get through it, I even thought of DNFing it. While there was a goal behind the road trip these crazy ladies were taking, it was actually a series of minor adventures with minimum tension and predictable outcomes. The story had its moments and I appreciated the theme of celebrating failures, but I didn't like the characters much.
I'm not interested in continuing with the series.

FYI to all Suzanne Kelman fans. You can preorder her newest book for only 99 cents! Releases Oct. 25th. This time she wrote a heart-wrenching historical novel set in 1941 Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. “An incredible story of love, hope and friendship, and a testament to humanity and courage in history‘s darkest days. Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Lilac Girls, and The Nightingale.”

This is a fun, light, and quick read about a group of middle-aged women writers who want their manuscripts to be rejected. When one of them gets an acceptance letter, hilarity ensues in the form of a disastrous road trip. Some pretty funny scenes! Read for #LLB19 for a book that features a reader or writer.

Trying something a little different! As a writer with my share of rejections, I can use the levity!

Read this last year, cute book

2🌟 This didn't hold my attention well, and when I found out it was part of a series, I was disappointed. I won't be continuing on. There were a couple funny lines in it, which was nice.

This was an amusing story with quirky and wonderful characters! I like tea, fancy teacups, books and book clubs - what's not to like?

I already own this one, but here‘s a fun #KindleDailyDeal today.

This was a sweet story and perfect for the "I want to read, but I don't want to read anything time consuming or serious." It's one of those mindless books we all need once in awhile.

Night time reading.

.99 on kindle?!?! Well, of course I needed to get this cozy. #getcozy

My thoughtful man just brought home a box of donuts to sweeten my weekend #reademandeatathon. Yum-Vanilla French Crullers are my weakness. 😋And this book is a hoot! These quirky women have been bitten by too many rejection letters, so they form a club to support each other's creative writing. The plot thickens when one of them may actually get published and they enlist their local librarian to save the day. Too funny! @Read.Em.And.Eat

Uh oh, between work and my mom's cable going out, I couldn't get to the #reademandeatathon until now. 🙄Can I still catch the tail end of it? Thought I'd grab some El Pollo Loco along with an ebook title I couldn't resist. It's only 7:30 in CA. 👍🏻

I really enjoyed this novel. The ladies of The Rejected Writer's Bookclub are quirky and hilarious.
When the Southlea librarian, Janet, is drawn into their group, hijinks ensue.
The ladies have a series of improbable adventures on a road trip to San Francisco.
I will definitely give the next book in the series a read.

Bought my book and journal for the not-yet-named book club yesterday. Stupid thing says it won't arrive for weeks! Grrrrrrr.... I wish I wasn't so dependent on Amazon Prime. @Soubhiville

The was a fun and entertaining story about a group of women who meet regularly to celebrate they rejected letters from publishers. The characters were well developed and the story was smooth. I great choice for a book club.
