Welcome to Litsy!

I always enjoy spending some time in the world of Murakami. I didn‘t love this one quite as much as a few of his other books, but the idea of living in a library or in the woods sounds pretty great right now. One more from my #10BeforeTheEnd pile.

This was a cute little story. I‘ll have to see about getting the next book in the series, to see what happens next. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4⭐️ I read this due to Libby doing a big read and my home library having a challenge related to this book. I was pleasantly surprised with this book and quite enjoyed it. #2025 #fiction #middlegrade #fantasy #magicalrealism

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
These characters had me rooting for their relationship until the very end! A time travel story well executed and not at all confusing like some can get😅💛

After a mostly underwhelming reading year, things have really picked up. This is easily one of my favorite books of the year—filled with wonder, mystery, & more than a little whimsy, this book about choices—not the big ones people think matter but the seemingly little ones—pulls you in, & in my case, did not let go. This is a gentle story & a delightful escape. This is the first book I‘ve read by this author, it won‘t be the last.

A beautiful, sexy, magical, loving and heartfelt tale of four Dominican sisters. The strength, regrets, sadness and happiness made for and excellent story.

I‘m excited for my #Roll100 picks this month!

The length of this novel did a disservice to the premise. 😏 It would have been much better as a short story or novella. What did the editor do aside from check grammar and spelling? I got through the audio only because I spent hours in the kitchen cooking & cleaning for Thanksgiving.

November 26, 2025 Happy Thanksgiving Eve. Stay safe and celebrate responsibly. DONE! This book was so-so. To me, there wasnt much excitement among the characters. It kind of reminds me of another book I read that was focused on time travel: Five Years Later. All in all, I would rate the book 3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
