Welcome to Litsy!

Look what those lovely folks at #panmacmillan #picador sent me for Christmas - a veritable feast of #netgalley digital ARCs all coming out next year between February and August.

I already had Fair Play on NG, although not read it yet, and I‘ve seen Thirst Trap on at least one ‘2025 books‘ list, but the others are all new to me.

I also recently got Tilt and Audition on NG too, from a 2025 list posted by a Litten (I can‘t recall who!).

Good. Follows on from The Miniaturist. Enjoyable story about family and how secrets can affect them.

Good. Even though at times the writing was a bit disjointed and rushed I felt immersed in Victorian London and that made the story so interesting.

Very good. Even though this is a reread for me it still makes me laugh out loud. At this point in my life I can relate to her life struggles especially the dating struggles. Love how this edition has the back story of Bridget Jones and also how Bridget Jones has coped with Brexit and the coronavirus lockdown. Adds another layer to her story.

Very good. Love how this author can take you on a magical journey that will stay with you for a long time afterward. The main setting of this book is Rome and the way that the author describes the place it makes you feel you are in the heart of Rome. As much as at the heart of story is a beautiful love story it also deals with heavier issues such as Rape and mental health.

Very good. Love how this author can make you believe that you have been following around these characters in their life, celebrating, commiserating with them. You go through a rollercoaster of emotions during this book so you can this book will stay with you for a long time. Thank you @TrishB for this book as you bought it for my birthday last year.

Good. It was an interesting concept and even though you thought you knew what was coming it suddenly ripped the story from underneath you and took you on a different way. Loved how misdirection was used to guide the story.
