Welcome to Litsy!

Book #48 of my year and I‘m going to finish up this duology and see how it fares for Zebby. I love him so much, he‘s not a “good” guy but I mean he tries and that‘s good enough for me lol

The Zebulon Finch duology are my favorite under-the-radar books. Listening to Vol. 2 was one of my best audiobook experiences ever, and I have no one to discuss with.🤷🏻‍♀️

Love the style:

'Go ahead now. Set down this page. Do not worry, it is not abandonment. Another reader will pick it up before long, and somehow, through the shared enchantment of the human heart, it will still be you, dearest reader, and it will still be me.'

Those of you who have been Litsy friends with me since 2016 may be thinking ‘OMG here she goes again‘ but I can‘t pass up an opportunity to enthuse about these books. 😃

Fledgling gangster Zebulon Finch was murdered in 1896 when he was 17 years old, and resurrected shortly after. #clocks don‘t have a lot of meaning for Zebulon, as we follow him through the next 100+ years. I highly recommend experiencing these on audio. ❤️

Definitely Zebulon.

Oh, how I love Zebulon... still sad this series is over. ❤️

The book was so deep it was like nothing i'd ever seen before. It didn't sugar coat the worlds history.

I'm going with the literal interpretation... Zebulon Finch spent some time training at NASA, and even went to space. 🚀

I probably talk about these books too much, but gosh I love Zebulon.

So far this month, I've had these 5-star reads (HP was actually a reread). I think I may just finish two more tonight, though, and I am loving both of them! 😍

Oh my-so sad this series is over. I highly recommend the audio version at least for Vol 2, if only for the mindf*ck that is the 'Curtain Call.' Kirby Heyborne's narration is brilliant.

❤️this: 'Go ahead now. Set down this page. Do not worry, it is not abandonment. Another reader will pick it up before long, and somehow, through the shared enchantment of the human heart, it will still be you, dearest reader, and it will still be me.'

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My current audiobook.

I loved Volume 1, and so far Volume 2 is not disappointing me. 😃

What do you expect? Her life was hard. I suppose she was loving sometimes, but she was hateful more often. It's just like I said. We're all the same. We're all hateful.

I heard the ash-whisper of the Millennialist, urging me to look more closely. It was as if I'd donned Junior's 3-D glasses. See Mr. Shoemaker showing off his Diners Club card? His docility was cover for a career of unrepentant backstabbing. See how Mr. Schaefer couldn't keep his eyes off little Franny? He fought against the blackest of desires. See how Mrs. Brandt looked at Mr. DeWitt and how Mr. DeWitt looked at Mrs. Mitchell?

America was sick.
Our empire had begun to decay.

I just finished this one and this book rocked my world as much as the first one did and now I'm actually kind of in mourning.
This book is graphic and gritty and will probably offend and horrify and I loved every glorious moment of it! Zebulon Finch is completely epic and a beautiful tribute to life.
I would highly recommend this duology to anyone who has loved Anne Rice's vampires or Mayfair Witches.
Beautiful work, Daniel Kraus!

Drawing closer to the end of this epic 😢I am enjoying every second with Zebulon and am reading slower than normal just to savour Daniel Kraus's beautiful, disgusting, amazing, gut wrenching, and bittersweet narrative .

I bought this today and I am super excited about it!! ❤️❤️
