Welcome to Litsy!

Not many people can tell a tale like the Irish ☘️ 5 Stars

The All of It by Jeannette Haien revolves around Father Declan, an Irish priest, who learns a disturbing secret about two of his parishioners, Kevin and Enda, who were siblings living as husband and wife. The story unfolds through Enda's confessions, exploring themes of sin, love, and morality. ⬇️

This one goes a little off the rails in the last 25%, and a couple of the relationship details don't always make emotional sense to me, but I did enjoy Golden's take on the "offer too good to be true" haunted house trope. The audiobook narrators each did an excellent job, but the switch between the two voices could have been a little more seamless with different engineering, I think.

I finished my first #aardvarkbookclub pick and my first book here in Virginia. It was okay; not great but not terrible. Thankfully my new home is not haunted or possessed.😁
June #Bookspin Selection

Current lake read. At least last summer‘s trip to Sicily to see my husband‘s family didn‘t involve rats? #amreading #vacation

Waiting for my sister to pick me up at the grocery store. Thankfully there‘s a Starbucks with seating.

Since I‘m moving next week, what better book to read than about moving to a haunted (?) house? 😹
This book from my first #aardvarkbookclub box is also this month‘s #bookspin selection.

More like 3.5 stars.
I loved the concept of an American couple buying an old home in Italy on the cheap as so many fantasize about, including me!
This story though, will give you pause before making that leap.

Didn‘t fully love the supernatural element of it as it felt a bit hokey and the ending resulted in some eye rolling. Also, his physical descriptions of the locations as our characters make their way were a bit confusing.

My June #bookspin selection is from my very first #AardvarkBookClub box that I'm trying out this month. And with my #doublespin it will be a scary June.

I love this author. This book , powerful, especially the ending. Parts had me teary, sad and happy tears.

Meh 🤷🏼‍♀️. Kind of creepy, kind of annoying characters, kept my interest but didn‘t wow me. A true middle pick. 🌟🌟🌟. Satisfies my #tbrtarot (choose a book written by a male author) for May!
