Welcome to Litsy!

This book accompanied with a good bowl of Haft Mewa (7 different nuts soaked together on the occasion of Afghan New Year to make a tempting snack) makes a perfect afternoon read. It has so far given me some mind-boggling slangs & phrases to ponder upon. 😉🤨

I just couldn't get into it... Part of it was that this was based on an actual historical figure I knew nothing about, so I kinda want to read about the facts first. It wasn't bad, I just realized I had no interest in reading any further. I might try it again at a later date.

There is a lot to recommend this book: the plot moves and some of the writing is quite dynamic. But ultimately, it falls short. This story cries out to be a character piece, but the author can't quite take the time to fully invest in Pat Crowe. The setting of Omaha at the turn of the 20th century held great promise, but the story as told could've been set anywhere.

#TBRtemptation post! This just-released historical Western debut is like "True Grit" meeting "Catch Me If You Can". Pat Crowe was once America's most wanted man. His story is fictionalized in this book. In 1900, an unemployed butcher kidnapped an Omaha tycoon's son for a $25,000 gold ransom. Then he burgled & bond-jumped across the country, inciting a sensational nation-wide manhunt. Meanwhile, he looks for his lady. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

Just got this, and really wish I could start reading NOW. ❤ the cover! #noir #debutnovel #antihero

@24in48 #readathon update: I'm in a lot of pain (I got dry socket! 😰) so I'm reading very slowly, but I'm still so happy because yay, readathon! and yay, marches! My heart is so full. 💗

I'm off to take more meds, so if I don't check in again tonight because 😴, have a wonderful evening, Littens, and I'll see you in the morning. 😘

For #signed Sunday, a book I am looking forward to about a frontier Robin Hood- type hero. So many books, so very little time.

Something refreshingly different. Full review here:

Thank you First to Read for this awesome book! I already have four people in mind to gift copies to once it comes out.
Pat Crowe: kidnapper, robber, fugitive, and (some would say) folk hero. One of the first to successfully kidnap a kid, get the ransom and escape made him pretty well known. This is a fictional account of his life- friends, loves and exploits. Five stars! My full review is on my blog: www.garabrandtreviews.wordpress.com
