Welcome to Litsy!

@CBee if you will permit me a late addition to my #AuldLangSpine list - this book was terrific! I always enjoy the cast of characters in a Liane Moriarty book - she can weave together a collection of storylines in a very satisfying way. I was afraid it would feel stale because, knowing the premise, I assumed (correctly) that the theme would be “enjoy your life while you can, because none of us knows what the future holds.” But she makes it fresh.

It‘s just math. It‘s all just math.

#aussiesecretsanta sorry for my late post. The holidays got hectic @CarolynM @Rissreads but I have started the tagged book in the brief moments I can escape. I got straight into the tea too. Thanks Carolyn for organising and Narissa for wonderful presents yet again. You always nail it. British Rose is one of my favourite Body Shop smells. The fold away bag is perfect for carrying home books from Little Free Libraries on my wanderings. Merry Xmas!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I love Moriarty‘s books they are so entertaining and this one does not disappoint. I was so invested in every character. A wonderful lighter read for the holiday season.

This book was thought-provoking and entertaining. I loved becoming enmeshed in all of the characters' lives. I became addicted to them all, and I was on the edge of my seat.

3.5/5 🌟

This book started off on a strong note, pulling me in with its intriguing premise. However, the sheer number of characters introduced became a significant drawback for me and I didn't really connect with any of them. It‘s the kind of book that‘s entertaining while it lasts but doesn‘t leave a lasting impression. Good for a quick escape, but don‘t expect to be raving about it afterward.

Accidentally got lost in a book this afternoon. Time disappeared and I read 40 chapters. If I didn‘t have to stop to make supper I probably would have finished. Maybe I‘ll read instead of sleeping tonight. lol

This was not a knock out for Liane Moriarty, I felt like it was written to be made into a TV show and that affected the quality of the reading experience. I'll keep reading everything Liane Moriarty writes, but if this is your first intro to her try What Alice Forgot or Nine Perfect Strangers first.

During a delayed and stressful Australian flight, an elderly passenger tells the other passengers how and when they will die. After the flight, some of her “predictions” begin to come true. Is the “Death Lady” a psychic, a fraud, or just a confused old woman? The ride to find the answer is a rollicking one.
