Welcome to Litsy!

Catching up on my reviews. This is so funny and has such a great premise. A woman‘s attic keeps sending her new husbands, one at a time, but in a steady stream. How is it happening? Should she keep one or keep sending them back to the attic? I don‘t want to say much but this one made me think about why, or why not, do we decide to spend our lives with one person? #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Wow!! What a debut novel!! Magical realism doesn‘t always work for me, but Lang executes this brilliantly here! Even with the male performer getting on my nerves (the female one was great, though!), I couldn‘t stop listening to this blend of a feral child story, romance, magical weather & fantastic characters! Everyone really sprang to life! I didn‘t want Waylon‘s story to end! So well-written— I can‘t wait to read more from this talented author!

DNF for now I think

I do want to possibly come back to this one but listen to it by audiobook instead next year.. possibly, it‘s just kind of weird and not going anywhere..

Sweet

I liked the audio narration for this one. It‘s definitely a different book type for me. I thought it was an interesting & different type of story. I wasn‘t crazy about how the book kind of just ended. I‘m not sure if there‘s some kind of message about marriage or finding the right person.

1) A dark damp weekend day at the lake in my reading corner; or a cool bright day on the back patio at the lake—my two “awesomest” reading spots

2) I was excited about our #authoramonth author, and so far I‘ve enjoyed the tagged book by her the most

Finished my first November #Roll100 pick (#39 Any Subscription Book) & I quite enjoyed this unusual story about a young couple Lewis & Wren.who find out shortly after their marriage that Lewis has an animal mutation & his body will turn into a great white shark. It‘s sounds odd but it becomes believable & is beautifully written too. The story moves back-&-forth in time & also tells Wren‘s story before the marriage & her mother‘s ⬇️

The past few weeks have been filled with more medical stuff and other disappointments so even though things are improving, I have been having a really hard time reading. It was lovely to have the #authoramonth excuse to pick up a cozy reread. This was exactly what I needed, a feel good read filled with magic and charm.

Josey waits on her mother hand and foot, until one day a woman in town starts hiding out in her closet, and discovering Josey‘s secret stash of junk food. Della Lee, the closet lady hiding from her abusive boyfriend, encourages Josey to discover herself and love. Meanwhile Josey befriends Chloe—whose unusual magic means books appear from nowhere, giving her their own advice on her decisions (who doesn‘t want to be Chloe!). So much magic, ⬇️

Mullaby is a town with secrets and regrets. It pushes people away and pulls them back. When Dulcie's daughter Emily arrives in Mullaby looking to understand where she came from, she tries to piece together the mysteries of the town.

Sarah Addison Allen is one of my favorite authors!
