I‘m getting pretty excited about the #LitsyAtoZ challenge that @Texreader is hosting. I decided to make a place for it in my 2025 reading journal. Some of the books I‘m reading for buddy reads (such as the #LiteraryCrew, #AuthorAMonth and #HitchToScreen) will give me a boost for few letters like Q and W.
pick3.5/4⭐️ (between very good and excellent)
The best thing about my impulsive nature and Litsy buddy reads is that I read books I probably wouldn‘t have. I‘m glad I read this for #HitchToScreen. Thanks for organizing @JenlovesJT47 !
I don‘t know if this is considered a thriller. It‘s definitely psychological and creepy.
Character and Plot received the highest scores on my C. A. P. E. rating system.
pickGuy and Bruno meet on a train. Bruno decides to kill someone for Guy, then Guy is supposed to kill someone for Bruno. Excellently written examination of descent in alcoholism, manipulation, guilt and murder. Overall, a very good read.
Looking forward to reading what others thought #HitchtoScreen @JenlovesJT47
Make a great day everyone 😊
Starting next.

I am so glad I finally read this one (actually listened to it)!
It was moody, atmospheric, riveting, fast paced, emotional. It had me second guessing who was “good” and “evil.” Like Mary I shouldn‘t doubt myself.
The ending was super touching ❤️ As persons we long for a human connection, not just ties to the land.
This is my third du Maurier story and I‘ve loved them all!!! (Rebecca and Frenchman‘s Creek)
pick‘The coachman tried to warn young Mary Yellan away from the ruined, forbidding place on the rainswept Cornish coast..‘
A nice gothic tale, this was dark and atmospheric. I enjoyed it. Good writing and details.

pick3.25/4 ⭐️
I finished it a day late but I enjoyed this one. I went back and forth between audio and kindle. It‘s very melodramatic with strong Perils of Pauline vibes. Perfect escapist and atmospheric read. Like others have said, it was extra fun to be reading it at the same time of year as in the book. My winter break is coming up and I‘m going to try to talk hubby into watching the 1939 movie with me.

pickI read Rebecca a couple years ago and was happy to read another by Du Maurier. I liked this dark tale, extra enjoyment reading it the same time of year it is set. #HitchToScreen
pickThe first #HitchToScreen book made for a quick (& surprisingly seasonal!) listen that was really well performed (despite the book being read by a man, when I would have expected a lady since the book is from Mary Ellen‘s POV!). After the death of her mother, she travels to the Cornish coast to live with her aunt & uncle at the titular inn. But she quickly realizes that the inn has a dark reputation & soon she strives to unmask its secrets!
