Welcome to Litsy!

3.5⭐Light Pick
•An engagingly diabolical story where you‘re left trying to figure out who was the unreliable one. Unfortunately, I did have a few issues. 1. I‘m pretty sure the covid stuff was a turn-off for me. I lived through it, don‘t want to read about it. 2. The MC's meddling ways were overly annoying, & 3, I saw the end coming, although I didn't see that extreme, because wow, it was unhinged.
•Maggi Meg-Reed brought her A-game with this one.

Reading with a sprinkle of ☕😜

#WeeklyForecast 16/25

I don‘t want to get too crazy yet about all CampLitsy nominations that are calling my name, and stick to my plan! I‘ll read the tagged one, by a favorite author, gifted to me by the wonderful @CarolynM . Where the Forest Meets the River is my #Roll100 book and Small Rain is the last one I wanted to read from the #ToB25 longlist.

But first I have to finish Moon Road that‘s not in the photo but that I am reading now.

So my normal bookclub which took place yesterday had to read a Kate Atkinson. I just feel she‘s way above me. We read another book by her and I didn‘t know how to feel. A guy next to me might as well have given his doctoral thesis on it and I just sat there thinking-am I stupid? So instead of reading another Atkinson I went with this book for a mashed up horror scifi group. I didn‘t care for it or the bookclub. The grass isn‘t always greener 👇🏼

It is so wonderful to log in after celebrating my mom‘s 80th birthday with family to see all these #CampLitsy25 nominations!! Wow!! I probably won‘t be able to get to the all before tomorrow, but I wanted to quickly share my nominations. I am so excited to be doing this with @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain again!!

Let us know if you‘d like to join us this summer for reading and discussing six amazing books!

This thriller has one of my favourite set ups...the locked room. There are a lot of characters and POVs and the author did a great job of differentiating most of them. I also found the story entertaining. Unfortunately, it didn‘t quite hold together as much as I would have liked. It was the reveal at the end that seemed to be lacking a little for me, although the last couple of lines were great. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the digital ARC. 3.5/5

A sweet book about grief and family members moving through tragedy in their own ways and dealing with their different feelings of guilt. The multiple points of view made it harder for me to get into the story and at times it felt too sterile, but overall a light pick.
