Welcome to Litsy!

I loved hearing about Ypi‘s connection with her grandmother and her search for the truth of her grandmother‘s past. However, a lot of this read more like historical fiction and not an investigative look into the past. I suppose that should be evident by the word “Reimagined” in the title, but I missed it. Still, I knew so little about Albania and its past, that learned a lot throughout the book.

All Laura wanted was to measure the flat she'd move into in January. All Callum wanted was to avoid trekking home to Scotland for the holidays with his girlfriend. That was before their "meet nude" turned into meet the parents and fake dating.
It's just for a week and Laura has always wanted to see Scotland, it's going to be fun.

Already published.

This is a hard one to rate. On one hand, it‘s one of the slowest books I‘ve read & took me months to finish. I found the lack of dialogue challenging & it‘s hard to know if it was the writing or translation that made it flow the way it did. On the other hand, this book is steeped in so much richness & culture (specifically that of the Mapuche people of Patagonia/Argentina) that I not only learned a lot, I‘m thankful I read this book.

Skye's Inn in a small town near St Andrews isn't doing well. The last thing she needs right now is a rock star hiding from a scandal, especially when this rock star is the man who broke her heart 15 years ago.

Fortunately, the Book-Bitches know exactly how to handle the situation and give Noah and Skye opportunities to spend time together. There might be a second chance for love, the inn, and the music career.

This is a spicy novella. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ The emphasis is on spicy as there is very little plot happening.

But, please, please add this to your TBRs!!!! ❤️

Story centers around 2 families and how everyone‘s lives were affected by a decision made by 2 of the parents.

I think this book is a great example of why own voices are so important. There is such an authenticity in the author‘s writing and even while tackling so many topics, it never felt overdone or too much. I loved following Layla on her journey as a Black choreographer and thirty-something woman.

Medusa has had many roles in many stories. Daughter, sister, mortal, priestess, victim, monster. Here‘s a story that incorporates many aspects of her past to make something new.

A fascinating retelling of Medusa. This Medusa is much younger than other retellings, & that influences a lot. Medusa‘s characterization is deep, but everyone else‘s is shallow. The pacing kept me tense the whole time, & the ending left me feeling a bit sad.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
