Welcome to Litsy!

This was an amazing book! Think of Felix and Unger but as monsters. Bella is the messy one and Boris is the neat freak. Can they ever get along as neighbors? Hmmm maybe a Halloween party will bring them together?!?!? The book is so full of monster puns that it is glorious and the artwork of Gris Grimly is just perfect.

Highly recommended by Jaclyn Crupi, for good reason. Leo recounts many decades of his life, his long friendship with Bill and Violet and the relationship between their two sons. From about midway through, I felt quite uneasy, not sure where the story was going but anxious and quite disturbed. For me, this was a psychological thriller.
An exceptional book dealing with the nature of art, mental illness, depression, addiction and marriage

November was a good reading month ❤️

This is a companion novel to The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry which I read many years ago. This is Queenie' story.

Here we meet Queenie in the hospice on the last days of her life as she learns that Harold is walking the length of England to see her.

While I don't think this adds anything to the original novel, it is a cute companion if you are wanting more from the characters.

Love the window displays in my small town.

Started a book about a young chef.

Adichie is one of my all-time favorite authors, but this isn‘t going to be my favorite of her books. I enjoyed it, but I gave it 4⭐️, not 5. It revolves around 4 women, each one has their own story & POV. A lot of reflection for each person, all continuing the events happening but also telling about their past. I especially liked Kadiatu‘s story. TW: Sexual assault

An absolute guilty pleasure read that I loved when it first came out. Rereading it on the beach was both addictive & made me roll my eyes. Obviously the relationships are toxic, but it‘s also incredibly entertaining. It‘s like eating a giant tub of ice cream, not great for you, but it taste good in the moment. Don‘t base your relationship goals off this book, but it‘s perfect teenage yearning vampire drama. I‘m off to read the rest of the series.
