Welcome to Litsy!

I finally have some time to read. 😌

Book 102 I was disappointed by The Girl Who Stopped Swimming, which I listened to immediately after Mother May I (by the same author). Touted as a ghost mystery, the resolution was unrelated to the setup, making everything a red herring. ⭐⭐⭐

Thanks @TheSpineView for the invite!

Reading for November Book Club.

I listened to the audiobook, which was beautifully narrated by the author, on a long drive to the Berkshires. It is a nice summer read, albeit a bit uneven, like the story won‘t stick with me for long afterwards. I haven‘t ready any other books by Joshilyn Jackson, but I love Southern authors so will try another one.

More uneven than the other books of hers that I have read, but still quite enjoyable. Jackson narrates the book very well too.

Road trip to Naples to have dinner with @WanderingBookaneer ‘s family

Dinner and a book. Doesn‘t get better!!!!

On to the next one. It‘s supposed to be a mystery thriller @LazyDays I‘ll let you know how it is since I know that‘s your favorite genre

Next audiobook...

One of the many reasons I love visiting home is the local consignment shop where I can always find some good scores on books. This haul was under $60 and is a mix of books for me and xmas presents for my best friend.

It's hard to label this book with one genre. It's a mystery but even more it's a beautiful portrait of family - sisters, spouses, parent/child, and the lengths one goes to to protect what one loves. I loved this book and at times it had me short of breath waiting for the drama to play out. Excellent summer read!

I finally finished this one on vacation in Michigan. While it's my least favorite Jackson novel so far, I really enjoyed it. It lacked the humor of her other novels, but the subject matter was darker. In that way it matched. I brought this with me to two pools along the way and it was commented on both times. 😂😂😂

I wavered on this one. I really liked it but feel it could have used a little more content. And I really disliked the end.

It's time to catch up a little on my Joshilyn Jackson backlog. Love her!!!

Picked these up at the thrift store for $1 😊

This one was for my local (IRL) book club, chosen by another club member. Some of the characters were interesting enough, but there were far too many "and suddenly it was all clear to her, in a flash of understanding" moments for my taste--too neatly tied up in a bow.
