Welcome to Litsy!

I had high hopes for this as I loved Black Cake, but I was kind of frustrated with it and coincidences that kept happening.

It‘s not really my kind of book, I prefer heavier literary fiction and science fiction over historical fiction and romantic storylines, but I did enjoy the historical parts more than the modern day parts.

The book is about a jar made by an enslaved potter, a murder, and a wedding that doesn‘t go to plan.

#5 of 2025! #BOTM January 2025
Started: 2/18/25

Low pick. I actually read my #botm the month I got it!

This one could have benefited from being in both MCs head. It got exhausting being in only Ada‘s head.

I had some issues, but overall I did like this one.

Last book I read in January. I‘ve enjoyed all of her novels, this one maybe a bit less than the others. Austin has a special ability to relate vulnerability and despair with such gentleness and humor. A very special writer! Triggers for suicidal ideation. #BOTM

I didn‘t like the twists and turns tbh. By time I got to the 3rd part of the book I was pretty spent. I wanted to relate to the characters more than I did. There was some endearing parts. This book was just OK to me. #botm

Action, adventure, sci-fi, romance… there‘s a little bit for everyone with this! The strength of this book for me was in the found family element - the main characters‘ love for each other tugged at my heartstrings. It‘s not my favorite book from this author, but I still had a good time. #BOTM

The start to my 3 day weekend included starting this book.

Finally got a chance to open my #bookofthemonth box…..I may have gone a bit overboard…..
Bug was very happy to help show them off though!

This is my #BOTM read for February. It‘s “an addictive thriller about a new mother‘s world upended when her husband commits a terrifying crime. How well does she truly know the man she loves? And what danger does she face if her entire life has been built on a lie?”

#BOTM is in!!
