Welcome to Litsy!

This was okay. This woman goes in a journey to find the golden beetle which at the end is a way to discover herself. Characters and situations seem not realistic and situations were ridiculous. You still have some funny parts and quotes to think about but in general not a great story for me. The gifts in this box were neither great or practical. 3⭐️

First book I read by this author and I will say I liked the writing style and the story, at least this one. There is a murder and people in the remote Highlands blame the wolves. Inti knows that this attack was not made by the wolves, then by who. She is working with a team to protect the wolves but this project is not well received by the community. But the story is more than that, is about Inti, who can be seen as unlikable character⬇️

I love bookish plans and goals!❤️📚❤️

This book did not work for me. I know that with Oyeyemi, you just have to let the writing wash over you, and there will be times you have no idea what is "happening" in the plot. This novel was true to form in that regard. I found the use of Shakespearen and Mythical names heavy-handed. I still enjoy her writing, but this novel was a miss. 2 ?

Another slow pace reading, character driven story. Set part in London and part in Ireland. Two time lines. Olivia inherited her grandfather‘s bookshop and there is a photo of two girls and a manuscript that connect these girls with her grandmother who has now Alzheimer. These girls claimed that they saw fairies. Olivia will search the truth behind the photos. Also about family relations/secrets, second chances and what is home for Olivia⬇️

What I enjoyed of this story was the psychological analysis made for almost every single main characters. How well those dysfunctional personalities were described by that time. They were analyzing each other😂 Also I liked that Poirot analyzed the “suspects” from different angles to support or discard his involvement in the crime. I still think the end was a little rushed. But how arrogant, narcissistic Poirot is, what a character☺️3.8⭐️

YEAR IN REVIEW- 2022 Goals
📚I did surpass my #Goodreads book goal : 96 of 70.
📚Read 7 of 12 nonfiction
📚Got about half of the PopSugar Challenge prompts
📚Read 3 books with HOUSE in the title for my #BuzzWord challenge
📚Did not finish the book I‘m reading one chapter a day.
I like the challenge of setting goals but don‘t stress if I don‘t meet them 😉. It‘s all about picking the next book from the #TBR. Time to set next year‘s!

Chloe‘s father is doing time in prison, accused of six murders. Twenty years later, other girls are missing using the same method as her father used in the murders. A copycat maybe? More than one suspect. I suspected of that character but then I focused on another character. The end was maybe predictable but for me was an interesting twist. The author urgently needs accurate information about forensic psychology as a profession😳🤦🏽‍♀️3.8⭐️

Read 5 with summer in the title, saved 5 for next summer. #BuzzWord #Summerinthetitle #TBR

I have mixed feelings with this one. I liked and enjoyed very much the way the story was developed, narrated. A book story within a book story. I liked how Freddie describes the idea to develop her characters and the story. While she is in the library, she observes 3 peoples, their actions, physical appearances and a story is developed. Then, all of them will be connected for the sound of a scream and the story will start from there.⬇️
