Welcome to Litsy!

I love #bookspin and #doublespin day! Always look forward to seeing which books from my TBR I will definitely read this month. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks

I'm posting the #BookScavengerHunt prompts in order & today is 'Horns'.

I really enjoyed the film - Angelina Jolie was fantastic in the role This book is the written novelisation.

This was a light hearted magical rom-com with all the best bits — enemies to lovers, forced proximity, humour and silliness and spice. And yet…somehow also managed to be a very insightful look at abusive relationships, self-awareness and working to be a better person, and racial politics. This book was a bit of a ride, but I enjoyed every second of it.

This is so far proving to be more of a read that I can get into. 😚

Rough around the edges & crude, this book follows the lives of a community in small town Montana. It‘s funny, but also sad and depressing. Softball, drugs, alcohol, sex….bad religion, abusive/neglectful parents… friendship. The death at the end hits hard.

What a quietly moving book. Wood has brought these three characters to life in such a real way that it's almost hard to believe I won't run into them in my local bookshop. This book is full of nuance and thoughtfulness and is just a really lovely story.

I have been trying SO HARD to manage my library holds so that they don‘t all come in at once. How is that working out for me, you ask? Well. It‘s a good thing it‘s a long weekend.

Empathy and love are woven through this lovely story. With the world so negative and hateful, this story reminds us of the importance or caring for each other. Even for those that some believe don‘t deserve it. I adored this story🥰.

I did not like this one. The words treacly and twee come to mind. It starts out ok but the blurb makes this sound like a found family story which doesn‘t happen until well past the half way point. There is a very cringey plot point that was unnecessary and creepy. I actually hate finished it.
