Welcome to Litsy!

#rocktober #comfortablynumb
Im having a bit of a spurt at the end of the oct, prob the odd feeling of all the family being home watching the bake off final together with two daughters boyfriends as eldest popped home from Sheffield at half term. So glass of wine and a course for next two days i recalled the patrick melrose second volume in which he collects his dreadful father's ashes and spends two days in a drug addled stupor. Time to rd bk 4.

A woman and her friends go to look for the woman's missing father at his lake cabin in Canada. You get the feeling pretty quickly, that there are some deeper issues, but, unfortunately, I just weren't interested. The MC is just too distanced, and too #comfortablynumb regarding sexism. The writing felt pretentious and too "literary", although there were some beautiful sentences at times. All in all, it added up to a disappointment.

#rocktober #comfortablynumb Ok... so my mind went in this direction! Numb = drugs = crack!
After tasting Crack pie for the first time this weekend, I immediately added this cookbook from the fabulous NYC bakery to my Xmas wish list.... I must have that recipe! And cereal milk ice cream sounds amazing too! 😋
Thanks for another fun month of challenges ladies! 👍💕

#RockTober #comfortablynumb @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB In the series Mr Mercedes, the character Charlotte says of her cousin Olivia : SHE couldn‘t pretend to be happy. So she took the pills....but then she still wasn‘t happy , but she wasn‘t sad either....... -my sense of what anti- depressants/psychotics do. Olivia was #comfortablynumb

So this was #Rocktober. Thank you all so much for joining and all the great bookish associations you had with the prompts 😘!
@Cinfhen thanks for having me as your co-host, I‘ll be back in July (lots of time to come up with a good playlist 😂).
From tomorrow it‘s time to #TuneInToNovember, co-hosted by @Robothugs !
In the meantime I watch the picture above and get #ComfortablyNumb 😍!

I can‘t believe it‘s the last day of #Rocktober ? @BarbaraBB you did an amazing job as cohost & guest DJ ?I loved your musical /bookish prompts & choices?? I haven‘t read this memoir, but my daughter has & she highly recommended it... Girl Walks Out of a Bar is a candid portrait of alcoholism through the lens of gritty New York realism. Beneath the façade of success lies the reality of addiction. **Blurb taken from the publisher **

This #audiobook was a little slow to get into at first- the characters and the chronology make it a confusing listen at times - but ultimately this one ended with me #AudioColoring with anxiety! Very well-written and with complex and developed characters that feel real- and a setting #WhereTheStreetsHaveNoName ! @Cinfhen #Rocktober
