Welcome to Litsy!

I good mystery! Warden Mike Bowditch is the main character who is out to solve a murder in Maine. I like the authors style of short chapter each laying a piece of the puzzle. Enjoyable book which is wrapped up with a good ending of the who done it.

I think I've officially read my last Reese's Book Club book. She and I clearly do not vibe.

For those who loved The Road to Dalton for our #EuropaCollective #BuddyRead, the 3rd book in the trilogy will release in the USA on Oct 7, 2025

This author is interesting. He tells a good story. His text is non-linear. The subjects are not cheerful. I recommend it anyway.

I also had an #ARC from #Netgalley 😂 oops.

I want to read this after reading two of her other novels.

So enjoyable. I love how all the characters keep making appearances. I love that William and Elizabeth are back together. I love the idea of storytelling. Of course, Olive Kittredge. Don‘t know how long she can string the same long story out, but I‘m still in.

God, I love how she tells a story!
Without intending to, I ended up reading back-to-back pandemic books. The other was for library book group and had all the close-quartered sameness of that time. In contrast, ES delivers another of her quiet books and lets its rich and capacious interiority sing out.

January has been a heavy month…in ways expected & in ways that have blindsided me. Friends & family are engaged in some pretty dramatic fights for their health. As a consequence, I‘ve found myself reaching for lighter books.

All that to say, I made it through 4 books from @Christine ‘s #AuldLangSpine list (and no more). My clear favorite was Fire Exit. I‘m listening to “Says Who?” at the moment, which is providing both levity & substance.👇🏻

There needs to be a rating above Pick for a book like this. Morgan Talty‘s writing is soooooo good. Even though he writes about painful topics (like dementia, alcoholism), it feels like a gift to be able to read his words. Fave read of 2025 and the bar is set high.
