Welcome to Litsy!

Just landed back in Australia and I've hit 9999!

Happy Friday, team #DeadSerious! Just letting y‘all know that I‘m traveling today and tomorrow (going to see Billie Eilish with my youngest 😃) so I won‘t be able to check in as much, but I‘ll do the best I can. I will reply to all my tags when I can! Have a good weekend!

#storysettings #AirportOrPlane Huge bestseller back in the day, and a major motion picture!

#StorySettings Day 3: #AirportOrPlane - posting in advance because will be in an airport and plane (3 in total) tomorrow as we travel Abu Dhabi ➡️ Doha ➡️ Oslo ➡️ Bodø just like tomorrow‘s prompt. Over and above this picturebook providing a detailed description of what to expect in airports, the “diverse” element is a given rather than explicitly articulated or pounded over the head of the reader. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-dfD

In this anthology exploring Asian American families in interwoven stories set in a Chicago airport, you will be baffled by the stupid things uttered by TSA agents, airline personnel and other passengers; toward these families; and how they are singled out and put in humiliating situations 🙄😓

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!) Feel free to join in!

I really wanted to like this one but the heroine gets to the point she‘s almost unlikeable which is sad. There were some laugh out loud moments but overall a bland read.

I thank this book for breaking my reading slump; am looking forward to seeing the movie again. #LitFlicks #BooktoMovie #PieinLit #SweetPotatoPie 🥧 #DogsofLitsy #EstherAssisting #whpg #WhatsinaName

It was the bestselling book in the U.S. the year I was born. Having seen the film, I was surprised at how little space was given to the disaster plot -- instead the narrative is looser, a soap opera with monologs on sundry topics in aviation industry (and, awkwardly, abortion). Then in the final quarter the disaster subplot delivers a rousing conclusion. Engaging, interesting and ends in thrills -- which you can't say about *some* bestsellers.
