Welcome to Litsy!

Catching up on some reviews.

I‘ve been following Jen Campbell on her YouTube channel for years. This is one of her favorite books, and when I saw it in the bookstore I knew that I had to read it.

This book was different from what I expected and there was more than one surprise here.

How I love listening to this series! In the 3rd installment of the Midsomer Murders series, Barnaby and Troy are called to investigate a suspicious death at the home of a religious group/cult. Graham really dives into the psyche of her characters in this one - it‘s a wild ride! #192025 #1992

Just finished rereading this one for an upcoming book discussion at the library. I appreciate the snarky humor interlaced with the slow build of the story. I‘m looking forward to reading this series with my library‘s book discussion group!

For the #AwesomeAugust #Readathon , I‘m aiming for my usual goal of 20 hours.

This could be best described as a 'Quantum Romance". From the book jacket:

"Jeremy Bremen has a secret. All his life he has been cursed with the unwanted ability to read minds...his wife, Gail, has served as a shield between Jeremy and the intrusive thoughts of those around him...but now Gail is dying...and Jeremy comes face-to-face with the horror of his own omniscience"

One of the first #science-fiction novels I read as a #teenager when this came out in #1992 Now nearly #27 years later we are only a few years from making this #science-fact

In any case, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel when I read a few times as a teenager and young adult. Let's see if I still find it enjoyable and how accurate Bova's novel is compared with the real thing.

One more February group read done! This book is short, but not quick. The story weaves in and out of the past and present of husband and wife Joe and Violet Trace of NYC, formerly of rural...Virginia? The present being in the 1920s. My big question: who is the narrator of the last chapter? I‘m confused. Good, but certainly not my favorite by Morrison. #1001books #192019 #1992

Like jazz this is sometimes so frank and visceral then takes off on dreamlike trips rising and falling all over the place but it's always provocative and engaging and moving and the writing well nobody else does it like Toni. #birthdaychallenge #1992

Glad I finally read her first novel. It's sad and strange with maybe just a tad too much Catholic mystery for this lapsed Catholic. The writing and characters are very good, and the plot is initially extremely engrossing but gets increasingly uneven through the three sections. The ending was the weakest part for me, but still for every bit that screams rookie, there are bits that cut right through you and sing of all the brilliant books to come.

Sticking with Patchett since I enjoyed Commonwealth so much. I hated coming to the end of it and then I remembered this one has been waiting patiently on #TBRMountain for quite some time. Yay! Really liking it so far. #BirthdayChallenge #1992

As with all Lynley Dodd book, this was an absolute delight to read out loud! I loved finding out what Slinki Malinki did to find himself in DEEP DISGRACE! 🤣 Cat owners can probably easily relate. #1992
