Welcome to Litsy!

These books are highly entertaining, tense and adventurous. This is the second in this part of the series.

Not my favorite Conroy. The descriptions of Charleston were long-winded and boring; and quite frankly, annoying. But the story, oh man, what a story! It was compelling, ugly, thought provoking, gripping, and worth reading.

I read the first three volumes of The Girl from the Other Side. It‘s still early in the story, but I‘m intrigued and picked up the next three installments from my local library. The general plot involves a curse that is passed by touch and which turns typical humans into huge, dark, antelope-like creatures. Which would cool for death-metal bands, but the “insiders” seem to want to avoid such a transformation at all costs

This author has some interesting ideas. Def worth a listen. This gorgeous cover caught my attention and this was a book club pick.

I liked this one. It captured me from the beginning. Fun & quick read. Friends to enemies to lovers.

This was an odd book but it did pack a punch! It‘s for sure a huge metaphor for how much moms give to their children, as well as what they‘re expected to give. It‘s so well written and Baker does a great job writing suburban thrillers!

This was just okay, nothing special, but it was repetitive in places.

Picture a small town in the American west in the year 1912. A Lutheran pastor is visited by a mysterious Piegan man, who claims to be a monster who has committed unforgivable acts and requests to give his confession. The reader learns of how this man transforms into a monster and of his subsequent deeds, which are interwoven with the tale of the Piegan people and of the buffalo they depend on. It is a dark tale of suffering, brutality, and revenge

I found this protagonist super annoying and probably should have given up at the halfway mark but it does get somewhat better.

The book follows James Flynn, a man who is a long-term patient at a mental health facility who believes he is a Bond-like spy. For me, the premise grows stale pretty quickly. The book has great reviews overall, which made me think this book was going to have more depth or at least be more unique than just following the shenanigans of an escaped psychiatric patient and his two friends. To me it was mostly forgettable with a few cute moments.
