Welcome to Litsy!

Compelling, heartbreaking, and very impactful. I did not see that end coming! Betrayal, double crossing, and deep rooted mistrust. Such a fantastic book. Book #97 in 2024

Sometimes 451 characters isn't enough to gush over a book and the feeeelllllssss associated with that book and that's my problem here but I will say that Grann did an amazing job of balancing historical information and providing it such a written way that spoke of the Osage's civilization with respect to race, perspective, culture, and colonialism.

🎧definitely watching the movie when I finish!🎬

Started this morning already intrigued…🧐

The sweetest little spirit I know has volunteered his services as reading buddy while I hunker down with MEAN SPIRIT. It‘s a fictionalized take on the events everyone now knows from KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, written by a Chickasaw woman, and it‘s excellent so far. I hope I can scrounge lots of time with it tonight.

I saw the previews for this movie & figured I‘d read the book first. Man, reading this is infuriating. It‘s abominable how the Osage people were taken advantage of & murdered for their oil money & how none of the perpetrators were punished properly, at least imo. Truth is stranger than fiction & I‘d recommend this to anyone interested in history & true crime. 4⭐️ P.S. I love Will Patton‘s narration, that is all.

I‘m declaring my #readordonate effort done. Before today I‘d donated 8 of these books plus others. Today I went through my shelves & pulled about a dozen more. I‘ve just stopped for a late lunch in the middle of driving to various LPLs to leave them. While I was at it, I deleted about thirty books from my TBR list.

I also loaded up a tote with four or five books to take on my upcoming house sitting gig, along with September Real Simple issues.

I had a couple false starts with Oklahoma but finally landed on this solid cold case crime story for my #52mysteries challenge. It got a little cheesy at times, but there‘s a strong sense of place and an interesting mystery.
