Welcome to Litsy!

First off, Happy Mother's Day to all the USA mommas! Hope you feel loved on today. 🌷

I adored this quirky book. It does get a bit repetitive, but that is literally the premise. When faced with a seemingly endless supply of husbands and different life outcomes, who/what will she pick? How does one even decide? I chuckled through much of this and thoroughly enjoyed it!

I enjoyed this, but not as much as I wanted to. I think it's a victim of high expectations. A fun concept, with some delightful moments. But it gets a bit repetitive, and I'm not totally sold on the ending. I wanted more growth, more introspection maybe? A low pick.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The premise of this book was such an intriguing mental chew toy! In practice, it got repetitive and didn‘t have the depth I had hoped for. Some of the husband situations stressed me out. Still a fun, light read! #BOTM

Just starting this one today. I am very intrigued by the premise and can't wait to see how it pans out!

Not sure, yet, which one I will read.

Light, entertaining. Got a bit repetitive and I didn‘t love the ending, but overall a fun read. #BOTM

I really loved this book and the concept of Monsters Inc. for husbands. It was nice to see a lighthearted take on dating and relationships while also acknowledging that we all have quirks and will inevitably not love everything about our person. I highly recommend this for anyone who needs a light read filled with delight and a little magic.

4.5 ⭐️

This was delightful and unpredictable at every turn! I especially enjoyed the overall “tongue-in-cheek” tone, which is reminiscent of Bridget Jones‘ Diary and other contemporary British literature.

This is hands down one of the best books I have read so far this year. The premise is unique and will make you laugh out loud and maybe cry a bit. Thanks to Penguin and NetGalley for the ARC.

Lauren arrives home one night to a strange man in her house. Turns out he‘s her husband, only she‘s been very single. Then, he goes into the attic and a different husband emerges. This is a fun premise and a very enjoyable book, only the ending is quite weak with a much better ending offered earlier in the book. Low pick for me.

I couldn't put this one down! The concept of a magic attic spawning husbands like a dating app was intriguing. However, it grew repetitive as we barely connected with the many characters. The ending felt rushed, lacking closure. The message about finding happiness within was solid, but the pacing at the end could've been slower to enrich the experience.

A really entertaining book centered around the idea that if Lauren can get her husband to climb up into the attic, a new husband climbs back down. Her world instantly shifts with each new husband. Her job changes, the decor in her house changes, her bank account changes. Her relationships with family and friends changes. Sometimes she lives with the husband for a few days, a few weeks, or sometimes it's minutes. A good 3.5 star read.

Loved the crazy premise of this book. Clever and ultimately sweet despite some good and bad husbands. Highly recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyable!! I raced through this one, laughing all the way. I found it quite suspenseful at times and heard myself shouting “Get in the attic!!!!!“ more than once. 🤣 Adored the ending and the audiobook narration, too.

Noodle and I are under the weather, but at least that gave us some time to read and cuddle on the couch.

I really liked "The Husbands."

A unique concept that was well executed.

Lauren has an attic that, once she sends a husband up, a different one comes down.

This was a fun story, and I couldn't wait to see how it would be resolved.

One night Lauren returns home to find a strange man in her flat - only he claims to be her husband. Strangely, everything around her backs him up but when he climbs up into the attic & a different man emerges, also claiming to be her husband, Lauren slowly realises that her attic is creating an endless supply of different husbands. As one is exchanged for another over & over, Lauren begins to wonder 'how do you know when you have the right one?'

My birthday was Wednesday and I picked up this hold from the library on Thursday. Coincidence? I think not… 👵🏻👵🏻

THe concept of this was so interesting and it carried it off for the most part. Its kind of a slow build despite the rapid changing husbands. The ending whilst not quite what I wanted, I think actually worked really well for the book. It was a dramatic but perfect conclusion. This book at times had me laughing and others wanting to tear my hair out. One minute i was thinking Lauren you need help and yet I still wanted her to succeed with her plans

I rarely give 5⭐️ to lighthearted books, but Gramazio won me over with the perfect mix of humor and emotion! The ending was just perfect, and I didn‘t see it coming.

Lauren has returned from a hen-do to a husband she doesn‘t know in her house. She discovers she can change husbands by sending them up to the attic. As she cycles through these lives, she learns a lot about herself and has hilarious adventures! ⬇️

#BOTM wow, that was fast !

I had 6(!) library holds come in in the past 24 hours. Exciting!

Husbands was the only one tempting me from #botm, so I was glad to get it as a loan. Toxic sounded cool because I inhaled way too many tabloids in the 00s. Yesterdays is a Lady Macbeth book that piqued my interest. I didn‘t care for Girl A, but I decided to try the author again with Day One. Bookshop is set in 🇰🇷 and the other is a memoir, my top genre this year!

Welp, I did it. 🥸 #botm #bookofthemonth

Also, did you know these cookies existed?! 💜🤍

@AardvarkBookClub #aardvarkbookclub #aardvark picks: easy… there was even 1 more I was seriously considering! 🎉

#botm #bookofthemonth not as much… anyone read this? Thoughts? Nothing else really spoke to any desire to acquire immediately/in hardback… 🤔

I‘m looking forward to this #BOTM pick, which I hear will also be the Read With Jenna pick for this month! 🥰
