Welcome to Litsy!

It's telling that one of the oldest books in the world contains so many of the themes that continue being repeated in fiction right through today. Stories, after all, were overheard by man from the gods and quickly spread like a virus, marking the beginning of the age we still live in. Stories invade us, weave themselves into the fabric of our beings, until its hard to know where "we" end and the stories begin. Sophie says, "Whoa!"

At first, I hesitated when I saw this book, because I don‘t like romance. But I saw a good review here, took a second look, and decided to check it out. I loved this book! I would love to see it adapted onto the big screen. Full of dark humor, this is a lighthearted story about grief, family relationships, and death. What would you do when you‘re a ghost writer, and the ghost of your editor suddenly shows up at your door when you‘re⬇️

This is exhausting. All of it. Pretending to be okay while the world changes around you and leaves you behind to sit with whatever loss you found.

Meh. I'm sad as Kelley Armstrong is an auto buy author for me. This was super predictable and underwhelming.

Unfortunately on to my "DNF" list this one goes. I made it almost half through and just never got into the story. For me it had a good beginning and then just seemed all muddled up in a way by the middle. Like the story just lost it's direction and momentum that it started with.

Not for me at all. Reasons:

Every character is vile
Not enough suspense
Written in third person 😭

Not bad for a Monday.

4✨ A very quick read with a cozy autumn feel. There is a young ghost so there is a sad back story. A struggling family trying to keep their business, and naturally a guy trying to take that business from them. I really enjoyed this cute story. It is more of a kids graphic novel so it was easy to predict what would happen. @Littlewolf1

I‘m on a roll, one good book after another! One old black and white photo causes Hannah to return to London from Australia. As we get to know her, we meet past generations of her family, who they were, how they lived. Her boyfriend Max seems so great, but he‘s a ghost from the very beginning, and as we learn about her past, he does as well. It‘s a sad story, but made quite the impression.

It‘s been way too long since I‘ve read a rom-com. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, although I was skeptical of the ghosts. There were a few great plot teista, and it all came together in the end!
