Welcome to Litsy!

For years, I was nervous to try this one, as Deadwood is maybe my favorite TV series of all time. But having read Paris Trout and realizing what a great writer Pete Dexter is, I figured I was in safe hands (and after all, the book came first). David Milch may claim his series has nothing to do with the novel; I'm not sure I buy it, but there are major differences in the story structure and characters' personalities. Like with the show, 👇

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 This is a fun new-to-me series, and the book is free on Audible through the end of the year. I have listened to lots of good books this year but haven‘t written any reviews in the last couple of months. I won‘t get caught up but starting January you‘ll be hearing more. I get some Stephanie Plum vibes from Violet, the single mother of twins real estate agent. But only a little. These mysteries have a paranormal aspect

This turned out to be a wintry read, which I didn't know going in (I just needed it for my 50 Horror States challenge). This is not a happy read, but it counterbalanced some of the Hallmark movie vibes my other reads and movies give.

Picked this up at Homestead National Monument in Nebraska. It‘s about a black homesteading family in South Dakota. Terrific.

What a beautiful #lightblue sky! #coverlove

Tinfoil Butterfly is definitely a little different… not sure if I like it or not just yet. In my experience, every book I‘ve read with the word “butterfly” in it is a difficult read. Not sure why that is. 🧐🦋

I was pretty obsessed with this #Prairie book when I was young in the 70s & also the tv movie/mini-series it inspired .

Written by Rose Wilder Lane (the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder), it tells the story of Molly & David Beaton, teenage newlyweds in the Dakota Territory during the 1870s & originally was titled Let the Hurricane Roar when it was first published in the 1930s. Pictured is the edition of the book I had.
