Welcome to Litsy!

I liked this book from the beginning, thought about DNFing in the middle, and ended up finishing it. I don‘t know what it is about Deb Caletti‘s books, but there is always something missing for me. I liked how honest the discussion around anxiety was, but didn‘t care for the romance or the dramatic second half.

Anybody else just happily going along and then realize it‘s Saturday and you forgot you have a bazillion book discussions on Sunday and you haven‘t touched those books? Oops. In my defense, this week was completely upended with kiddo‘s schedule so I lost track of the days, I was sick early in the week, and it‘s just been a tough time for me mentally.

A useful work read for me. Adding to my toolbox. ✅

This has very subtle ‘Hatchet‘ and ‘Lord of the Flies‘ vibes going for it, but it also does not have any fae like I thought it did lol. It‘s intriguing as it more survival then it is spooky and has a mild pacing that can either bore one or entice them. The idea of the underground civilization was interesting in both good and bad ways.

#7Days7Books - 7 books that made a lasting impression on me

#Day7 - I‘ve never read a book that describes exactly what it‘s like to have a panic attack. As someone who has them, this book made me feel less alone.

It‘s hard for me to critique or review this book. I could easily take away points for not really being a story with a true beginning middle and end. However, living with anxiety there is no end. I have never read a more accurate and relatable account of living with anxiety and panic attacks. I truly recommend this book to anyone living with it but perhaps more importantly to those who don‘t have it but love someone that does ❤️

Started this one on Friday. Also I finished the last book I started gosh I‘ve been litsy slacking. I‘ll post the review for the last one later this evening. Anyways, I‘m adoring this one to bits. It‘s so relatable.

I feel like I need a palate cleanser after all the intense books I‘ve been reading, so I‘m starting this YA! The premise of this is pretty spooky so it might not be a total palate cleanser, but it‘ll be a quick one while I wait for my library holds to come in.

Many of the things that scared me when I was younger no longer do now that I‘m an adult, some of those things I once feared I was forced to face, like the loss of a loved one. With that being said I still have a fear of drowning and of going insane/suffering from Alzheimer‘s or dementia. #TeamStoker #Scarathlon (+1 pt)
