Welcome to Litsy!

I finished this story from Different Seasons on my walk. I still like it, but it‘s really too long. I also wasn‘t really rooting for Andy as much as I do when I watch the movie. Up next in this collection is Apt Pupil. #audiowalk

Another Wally Lamb book that breaks the heart from the very first page...

A great story of how simple mistakes can turn into major tragedies. One of the through lines I appreciated most, that hope is always good, but expectations are problematic. An emotional and thoroughly worthwhile journey.

Something happens near the end of this book that I think is highly unbelievable; however, I still liked this story of second chances. I loved the characters and the parrots. Night #audiowalk today.

So close to being done w this book. It is so good. But it‘s a lot right now - it‘s a lot of “wait, is this supposed to be *speculative* fiction??” It‘s intense. And, look, I don‘t 💯 agree w the main character, but I do *know* her. She‘s pretty much my mom…. 😅

Also enjoying (tho struggling w focus) the 🧙🏼‍♀️ book.

And guys! 2 more Holiday swaps!! Wish I could do them all, but I have *done* them all and you should too!! 🎄🎁🤡❤️🖤

I‘ve got about 2 hours left in this book. Troy is a hateful one. It was quite chilly this morning. I even had to wear a jacket! #audiowalk

I'm pretty sure I've bought this from charity shops more than once, having loved (of course) Fingersmith and The Night Watch. This is an early one centred around the women in Millbank women's prison in the 19th century. Is one of the prisoners talking to the spirits?

A bit too miserable for a very wet week!

3.8 ⭐️ I may be a little biased as I work as a therapist in a prison, which led me to wanting to smack the crap out of the FMC 90% of the time. Otherwise, it was a good thriller. Had to second guess myself a lot of times, but I wasn‘t overly surprised by the end. OK, that‘s not completely true. There was one scene that when I found out about and I was like “well damn”. Overall, a fun read, and I will try this author again in the future.

Yes, I loved the new novel from the brilliant Wally Lamb.
