Welcome to Litsy!

⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️
Don‘t read this book. I just read it in an afternoon. It‘s the most horribly wonderful awful book I have read in a long time. It has all the triggers. Well, maybe it‘s missing one or two, but it‘s just easier to say it has all of them. It has A LOT. And I loved it. It‘s seriously dark and depraved and deviant. But I have a thing for splatterpunk. I do not in anyway recommend this book. But it‘s really good.

Fin is back in her hometown for the summer, nearly choking with anger over the disappearance and presumed death of her best friend, Betty. Especially since the town seems to have moved on. I felt like there was potential here, but there are too many things wrong with it to live up to that.

Argh! #unpopularopinion time... I finished it for a book club otherwise would have dnf‘d. I didn‘t care about any of the characters. The dude is married with a kid and disappears...to go be with a girl from his past? The premise didn‘t work for me. The all knowing narrator didn‘t work for me either. The story itself was, well, boring. Lots of eye rolling. I am reading another book with a blind MC which is a million times better.

Oh man. I think I just picked the wrong book for this prompt for #booked2019. It was so slow! I also felt like it came across as a bit pedantic and needed to be cut down a lot. This was my first experience with “cli-fi”, but I‘m not giving up because there were elements that I found interesting, such as the unique idea of a the city under water and the description, but overall, this was a rough book to get through. #cli-fi

What a disappointment. On Goodreads a lot of users marked it as a thriller but I feel like that‘s not true. If anything, the book should be categorized under boring.

It was about a women‘s obsession over her neighbor.

This book was BLEAK. All the trigger warnings I can think of, it is the semi-autobiographical story of a young gay boy coming of age in an extremely LGBTQ-unfriendly, poor village in northern France. This is my book for the author who is new to you category for #booked2019 and #LetterL for #LitsyAtoZ (in translation)

I didn‘t love this one. 😬 600 pages is a lot to invest and I found this one over written and clunky.

Celia is feuding with her husband Richard in 1968 when she goes into a catatonic state and revisits their original love affair in 1550s Tudor England. Most of the book was spent in the 1500s and the “modern day” scenario and time travel almost seemed like an after thought.

Not sure what the heck I just read. Several meandering storylines that don‘t seem to have anything to do with one another and one very bleak, lifeless MC. I suppose the writing was pretty at times but that doesn‘t mean I want to read 200+ pages describing the lake and surrounding woods 😑 I finished this only because I was somewhat interested in seeing the train-wreck of a family reach their final demise.

Arrgghhh! A scene of animal cruelty...I just can't!! And it's audio, so it's hard to know how far to skip ahead. 😢

What is this "imperative of youth", this critically important thing that Mae MUST do, because she's 24 and it's now or never? Have sex in a work bathroom stall ?? And as soon as it was over the guy had one word: "bye".
