Welcome to Litsy!

I've bailed on both my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin books for this month already. @TheAromaofBooks

I'd started both of them before and put them back on the shelf for another time. This time, I'm not putting them back on the bookshelf. I really wanted to like them, but alas it was not to be. #hailthebail

Here are my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin books, which will also serve for #ReadOrDonate
@TheAromaofBooks @julieclair

Rachel and Drew are dealing with the care of their aging mom who has Alzheimers and often doesn't recognize them. On one of Rachel's visits, her mom tells her about a book she wants her to find. The sisters find the book hidden in their mom's sewing room, a book about a woman named Tomoe Gozen who was a samurai warrior in Japan in the 1100s. They wonder what it has to do with their mom, and why she wanted to make sure they had it.

#BookSpin & #DoubleSpin picks for February! I've started both of these at some point and then put them back on my bookshelf, so I'm looking forward to giving them both another try. @TheAromaofBooks

These are also the first #ReadOrDonate books for the month. @julieclair

Pack Darling is also my #readordonate and the Bell Jar is the next #hashtagbrigade book! @TheAromaofBooks

I only read 4 books in January. I admit I wasn't really in the mood. In the beginning of January, I was sick, on the 18th I attended a funeral of a cousin that I had never met, & on the 21st it snowed. Lukey loved the snow.
My favorite book this month was The Shining 🖤
My #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin books: The Teller of Small Fortunes & You Might Be A Zombie were both dnfed. They will also be donated for #ReadOrDonate

I can see why this is such a popular book club pick. There is so much going on - the theme of right vs. wrong vs. morally gray being played out in numerous scenarios involving various combinations of characters. I didn't like any of the characters, which normally would make me dislike a book, but this was an exception. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and the way it challenged me to see all sides of several difficult issues.

January's #ReadOrDonate and #OffTheShelf

Read and Liked:
📚 The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy
📚 Fresh Brewed Murder

January was a very slow reading month for some reason. Maybe if I put these back on my bookshelf I'd like them more another time, but I just couldn't stick with these books:
📚 Hocus Pocus
📚 Far from the Madding Crowd
📚 Dorothy Must Die
📚 Flying Too High
