Welcome to Litsy!

@keys_on_fire Exhibit A.

Maybe not the same guy, but close!

(Looks like I might but hopping aboard the #paperbackcrush train soon. I have a soft spot for these books, even if they are dreck 😆)

Another #paperbackcrush book and my #bookspin for April. I did not like this one. It was cringy all the way through. I remember being at odds with friends over boys, but this guy was a jerk! The only reason I finished it was because it was so short.

After barely escaping a bush fire, Alison walks to the road to leave the area and finds a woman dead in her car in her driveway. A combination of exploration of trauma and mystery, this book takes its time unfolding in a way I felt really suited the story. It‘s dark and can be emotionally challenging, but really good.

CW for physically/sexually abusive relationship on the page

I had to bail about 35% in. It was just too stressful it‘s like reading a documentary about a recent catastrophic fire in an area not too far from my home. It‘s well-written and interesting, just too overwhelming for me to keep going.

THRILLER - MYSTERY

Escaping a raging Australian bush fire wasn‘t the only horrendous thing Allison had to endure in her life. Something else from her past was waiting.

When she felt it was safe to leave her home, she found a dead woman sitting in her driveway with Allison‘s address written on a slip of paper.

Allison has no idea who this woman is, but it is the address of where Allison used to live. 4/5

My review:

Ladies and gents,
I am working on decluttering my library.
I have a ton of books I would love to sell of to a good home. Some have been through #LMPBC and others are almost brand new, or barely used books.
Each book is $10 (Includes shipping). If interested check out this form https://forms.gle/kyUCAFyamFQz1Bcg6

Remarkable. Delicate balance of facts, sentiment and humour.
Unenviable first hand insight into an experience which is understood as unique to each individual, but becoming far too commonplace, that is, house destroyed by natural disaster fire. Such a touching rallying of human beings, community.
Inclusion of other people's lost home stories, also helps draw attention to how emergency response might be improved, in future.
Read Afterword!

How (NOT) To. 🫣
