Welcome to Litsy!

Now ranked as one of my top ten favorites. Anne Bronte puts the 19th c. male chauvinistic society on notice that she is sick and tired of it (as evidenced in her preface). One of the first “feminist” novels of its time, a woman dares to leave an abusive situation created by the men around her and it apparently drew heavy criticism, but I‘m so glad she stood by her work (see above). An amazing 19th c. novel. 5 million ⭐️ #CathysCatchUpPosts

Homegrown terrorist cells are the focus of the latest crime novel set in Atlanta. Slaughter is one of my go-to crime/brain candy authors and she doesn‘t disappoint. After a CDC doctor is kidnapped and a bombing occurs at Emory university, the GBI & FBI investigate. Occasionally long winded, edge-of-your seat action makes up for it. There‘s something engaging about reading novels set in your own town, isn‘t there? 3.5/5 ⭐️ #CathysCatchUpPosts
