Welcome to Litsy!

I chose this for the top spot for The #BookTubePrize round 1 group F. I recognized the great writing. It was engaging but violent with drug references. All in all it ISN‘T my kind of book. Others liked it enough so it‘s moving on to round 2.

2. The Man Who Saw Everything 🚫
3. Dominicana 🚫
4. The Starless Sea 🚫
5. Middle England ✨
6. Patsy ✨

The 3 starred books are moving into the next round of judging.

Dominicana I placed third on my #BookTubePrize list. While this was well written, it was an immigrant story similar to Patsy of which I am growing weary. I was, however, able to sink into it comfortably. Unfortunately it didn‘t move on to the next round.
The list so far:
3. Dominicana 🚫
4. The Starless Sea 🚫
5. Middle England ✨

The Starless Sea was placed 4th out of 6 on my #BookTubePrize judging list.* While I saw Morgenstern‘s writing talent along with imaginative ideas I became weary with its length and its endless reference to doors. “Enough with the doors already” I think I actually shouted out. While I did enjoy some aspects of this book I DNFd Night Circus and will probably not pick up another by this author.

My choice for Fifth place out of the six books I read for the #BookTubePrize was Middle England. It wasn‘t a bad book. Others liked it and it‘s moving on to the next round.

My notes: Brexit info - family & love relationships- humor- boring.

So far : 5. Middle England✨

Now that the #BookTubePrize 1st round is over I am free to publicize my opinion. Of the six books I was assigned Patsy was at the bottom of my ranking. Well written, I found it uninspiring and I quickly got bored with Patsy‘s decisions and actions. Others, many others liked this book. It was not for me. Reviews of the remaining five books to follow. Patsy is moving along to round 2.

Now I want to read all the #Kingsolver.
