Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved being back in Raine‘s world in this second Redwinter book!
There are some familiar story techniques, but McDonald also manages to make it all unique at the same time. I think Raine is a great main character who seems realistic while dealing with extreme situations.
Samara MacLaren is one of my favorite audio narrators, so I recommend listening to this one.
Cannot wait for the next installment!

Quick read, but something was missing for me with this one. #doublespin for May @TheAromaofBooks

From Amor Towles and up, some options for my May #bookspin and #doublespin --- a #BOTM backlist pick (#ds), and a thrifted book (#bs), in this case relating to my current reading mood of 80s/90s private eye/neo-noir novels, Ed McBain is close enough. I'm 97% through Manhunt: The 12-Day Search For Abraham Lincoln's Killer, so naturally a novel about John Wilkes Booth family history would fit as follow up, right? I just started Amor Towles' latest.

Finished this over breakfast at my favorite cafe. I love this story and really never knowing what‘s going to happen next. The final pages were such a flurry of action too! Now the wait for the next volume begins…. #bookspinbingo #doublespin

I‘m still salty about the Death card, but this was a decent mystery novel with a supernatural twist. I thought it would be lighter, but it is just this side of serious to be a Hallmark Mystery Cozy. Still, it‘s a nice change from gory, high-stakes thrillers, and I really liked the characters. It also sets up nicely for a series or at least a sequel.

Up next…something a little lighter! It‘s my April #doublespin (a little late) and it‘s an #unreadbookshelf read!

I wasn‘t sure if I was going to like this one because I didn‘t really enjoy the last couple of Emily Henry books. But I really loved this one! I loved Miles and Daphne. I loved all the exploring of Michigan too! I don‘t know if all the places are real, but I wished they were!

This was my #doublespin for May

Looking forward to my #readyourebooks choice this month as I‘ve shockingly not tried a Jodi Foster bk yet tho they seem right up my alley.
Tagged is #bookspin and #doublespin is Wide Sargasso Sea (which I‘m happy to finally be reading with the #hashtagbrigade)
#aam is giving me the excuse to pick up Station Eleven
So it looks like a game of catch up all round, and not least in #roll100
Hope y‘all having just as much fun this May!

Wow, this was uncanny, uncomfortable and spooky. I loved it. The stories differ quite a lot, which is impressive. It made me shiver. Not only because the author uses the horror elements really good, but also because she writes about feminism without pointing it out. That makes it even more stunning. This book would've slipped my mind if it wasn't for the Translation Prize of the Leipzig Book Fair.
