Welcome to Litsy!

That was a flora and fauna snooze fest, but I got another bingo 😁

This just did not flow as well Ehrenreich's other books. Her attempt to show death's inevitability, and explain why it's not in our nature to accept it nearly bored me to death. But I did get two bingos!

The writing was a little too stream of consciousness for me, but the breadth of history was fascinating.

I don't know how I feel about this. I was interested, touched, horrified, bored. It was too much war story for me, but I learned a lot. Overall, I liked the two MCs too much to DNF. Also, it gave me a whole new perspective on the cartoon Stop That Pigeon 😂

After a bit of a slow I had a hard time putting this down. Adoption has some shady ass roots thanks to Georgia Tann. Both a heartbreaking and heartwarming story.

It was nice to hear Andy talk about his family instead of all the gossip and partying in his other two diaries.

As soon as I started this I remembered why I have zero memory of A Visit From The Goon Squad--I had no idea what the hell I had read. After 70 pages of an incoherent jumble of story elements I decided to #HailTheBail

My second DNF of the month and it's only the 3rd 😆 But that also means two more TBRs off the shelf so Yay!

Barely made through the intro without falling asleep! The writing style is not for me.
