Welcome to Litsy!

1) tagged book
2) A Time for Defiance - too much military/fighting WWII & rather pathetic sister left behind in England. Probably others but this was a recent DNF

1. There were 2 I read that I think are unforgettable: Piranesi and The Starless Sea. I never understood what was going on in either of them. It felt like I was in a dream the whole time while reading both of them but I liked that about both of them too.

2. Unholy Obsessions by CM Radcliff. This book is a dark romance. The 2 main characters in the book didn‘t have romantic chemistry and I didn‘t like the sex scenes at all.

📗 I loved The Briar Club (tagged) so much! It features my favorite trope of found family and a wide array of strong, female characters. So good!

📕 I couldn‘t get through Anxious People. I just couldn‘t get into it🤷🏻‍♀️

1. Well I loved book 3 and 5 of the ACOTAR series but tagged might take the lead!
2. None so far this year!

1) Beautyland (tagged) was amazing. Felt like a hug in book form.
2) Hard Times by Dickens. Just couldn‘t do it.

1. I have had 5 5🌟 reads so far in 2025, which is amazing! I finished the tagged today on audio and was absolutely drawn in.

2. I moved Orbital back to my to-read, I was excited by others on my TBR, but I do think I‘ll get back to Orbital at some point. No absolute DNF for 2025 yet - that‘s a win!

Thank you for the tag @Kshakal

🩵 I've already read so many great books this year, but Now in November by Josephine Winslow Johnson is one that I still think about.
🩵 I haven't had to DNF a book yet! I did pause Somewhere Beyond the Sea because I've had trouble concentrating on audiobooks, but that was a me problem.

@Eggs (thanks for the tag! 😍)

1. I still can cry over BREAKING THE CHAIN: THE GUARD DOG STORY: a comic book by Patrick McDonnell, the creator of MUTTS. So poignant!
2. The tagged: THE MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO. #ugh I couldn't even get through this one with the #hashtagbrigade! That's really saying something! 🤣

1) For many this book was nothing new but I recognized that voice in Ciara‘s head and became of that I couldn‘t help but root for her.
2) Meet Cute Diary - way too YA for me; Night & Day - short stories, my nemesis; I also DNF‘d Hester but I might try again. I think it was not the right time for it.

1. Recursion by Blake Crouch was an engaging story expertly executed. Top-tier sci-fi.

2. Several, unfortunately, (People Love Dead Jews (poor narration), At 30 I Realized I Had No Gender (not what I expected)), and at least one that I wish I had (Sailor Twain)
