Welcome to Litsy!

I'm not normally a fan of war related books but something about this drew me in and I'm glad it did. Its a really touching read. It takes you throw so many emotions, pain, sadness, hope, joy. You see it all in different ways. Its also showed an interesting look at life in France during those times. There is a couple of really tragic bits that were hard going but there's a thread of hope and love running through it. #Netgalley 4*

An author arrives for his appointment with an independent literary agent based in the Acheron Estate. The agency is run by one man & he seems rather eccentric, while the office itself is rather rundown & grubby. Still one shouldn't judge on first impressions......should one?

OOh what a twisted web this was to read. I'm definitely becoming a fan of the author. I think her first might be my favourite so far but this was still good. Its quite a simple plot at heart but filled with clever twists and secrets to keep you hooked. The ending was so good and I loved how it all came together. I figured out some bits but not all and was impressed by the end. #Netgalley 4*

I am pretty sure the last time I read a Grisham novel was when the movie with Susan Sarandon came out (The Client?). #netgalley gave me the incentive I needed to try another during last week‘s sick day. It felt uneven to me. The first half was pretty gripping and I wanted Simon to run screaming from the widow. Then things took a pivot with the court case and I was way less interested. It was like two different books. 5/10

Medusa has had many roles in many stories. Daughter, sister, mortal, priestess, victim, monster. Here‘s a story that incorporates many aspects of her past to make something new.

A fascinating retelling of Medusa. This Medusa is much younger than other retellings, & that influences a lot. Medusa‘s characterization is deep, but everyone else‘s is shallow. The pacing kept me tense the whole time, & the ending left me feeling a bit sad.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
