Definitely a #blameitonlitsy purchase, but one that‘s useful/appropriate for our times. Maybe Montaigne is the way to help us find our way back to each other. #litsyatoz #letterM

This is a historical crime novel based on an actual event…and it‘s so well written and intriguing!
Life isn‘t easy for Greek grandma Zina. Especially now that she‘s been accused of a crime in London where she does not speak the language. Enter Eva into Zina‘s life. It‘s the 1950s and translating for the accused was an afterthought. That age-old mother in law vs daughter in law relationship
Another #blameitonlitsy book, @TheKidUpstairs

TheKidUpstairs Glad you liked it! It was a total #BlameitonLitsy read for me, too. I think it was @squirrelbrain 's review that got me 😁 6h
squirrelbrain It was such a great book wasn‘t it @TheKidUpstairs ? Glad you liked it too, Chelsea. I have an ARC of her new one - due out on 8th May in the UK. I want to get to it soon, but I have so many other ARCs that I‘m trying to read in pub order. 4h
TheKidUpstairs @squirrelbrain ooh, that one sounds good too! It releases digitally here in May, and is a cheap pre-order, might just have to do that! Have you read her debit? 4h
TheKidUpstairs @squirrelbrain that should, of course, say debut 🤦‍♀️ 4h
squirrelbrain I knew what you meant! 🤪 @TheKidUpstairs And no, I must have assumed Unspeakable Acts was her debut so didn‘t know there was another. I *may* have just ordered a copy from Amazon. (Well, when you‘ve got a Xmas voucher burning a hole in your pocket..🤷‍♀️). 4h

Every so often I have a graphic novel fixation, and I‘m back on it. Bonus points if it is nonfiction or a memoir and this one is! The author grew up in Turkey and takes the reader along from the time she‘s a child, too young to be in school—though she yearns to join her sister there—through college and young adulthood. Her changes are depicted right alongside changes to her country and therefore family. A #blameitonlitsy read thanks to @JamieArc

JamieArc This came from the #ALSpine list from @yourfavouritemixtape I love when not well known books make their way around Litsy to find new people who love them ❤️. So glad you picked it up and enjoyed it! 9h

Completed this book for #BookedinTime (Tudor England). I enjoyed the writing style and the story. Although I‘m not sure if I‘m invested enough in the character of Shardlake to continue on with the series. Maybe I‘m a bit curious to see how he fares now that his rose-colored glasses about Cromwell and the Reformation have been removed.

@Cuilin @dabbe

TiredLibrarian I'd try the next one, but I'm biased because I loved this series! 4d
Andrew65 I feel this series only gets better after the first one. Like you I wasn‘t sure about continuing, in fact was a few years before I did. It became a favourite series. 4d
Cuilin I‘ll try the next one if you do. 😆 4d

Butterfinger I really enjoyed the adaptation. 4d
Ruthiella I am with @TiredLibrarian and @Andrew65 . The series is well worth continuing. 4d
dabbe Like everyone said the books only get better. Shardlake's character grows in such complexity, and Henry VIII actually comes into the books as well as other royals. 🩶🖤🩶 4d
Amiable @TiredLibrarian @andrew65 @ruthiella @dabbe If you say the series gets better, then I‘ll give the next one a go! I thought Louise Penny‘s 1st book was an okay read, and I‘m very glad I continued on with that series. 4d
Amiable @Butterfinger What was that on? I‘m not aware of the adaptation. 4d
Amiable @Cuilin I think they all convinced me to proceed! The peer pressure of fellow Litsy readers is too much to resist. 😀 #blameitonLitsy 4d
Daisey I‘ll add to the list of people saying the series gets better! I think the second book is actually my favorite. 4d
Cuilin @Amiable Let‘s go. (I blame most of my reading habits on Litsy, Lol). 4d
Cuilin @dabbe 💜 4d
Andrew65 @dabbe Not seen that but no doubt good if Sean Bean is in it. 4d
Andrew65 @Amiable Sometimes it takes series 2 or 3 books to really get going then you are totally hooked. 4d
Amiable @Cuilin I need to get through “Anna Karenina” before I embark on a series. I just reached Part 6. I‘m getting there! Slowly. 4d
Amiable @dabbe Interesting! I will put it on my list of shows-to-watch. My husband and I are making our way through “The Sopranos” —we never watched it when it originally aired. Now we‘re halfway through season 5. 4d
dabbe @Amiable 🤩🤩🤩 4d
Cuilin @Amiable oh no worries. I know you‘ve been busy lately. Just let me know when you‘re good to start and we can do it together. 4d
Amiable @Cuilin ❤️ 4d

TheBookgeekFrau @Rachel.Rencher That seems to be the consensus ☺️ 4d
DogMomIrene Ohhh, such a good cozy choice for a polar vortex! 4d

I forgot to post this yesterday 🤪, but there‘s just no way I can pick one favorite book from last year! I picked this book as a standout because it was a total #blameitonlitsy read (I‘m not much of a fantasy kinda girl) and I ended up loving it. Going outside my comfort zone paid off in this case!

Enjoying this short book about a woman ‘sandwiched‘ between her grown children & her parents. A great read with great characters, family secrets, & family dynamics.
I can‘t remember which Litten love this book and triggered me to read it, but thank you!
