Welcome to Litsy!

This one surprised me! I really liked Tess Sharpe's Far From You, but was less excited about a book that dealt with drug dealing (I like mystery thrillers)... however, I was on the edge of my seat with this book! It's like a more kick ass version of Winter's Bone. I couldn't put it down, and I will never doubt Sharpe again. 😘

I really took my time with this book, and I loved it. It's dark and sharp and I will probably be recommending it all year.

Ooh I'm 25% of the way through this and it is so good. It's gritty and dark and violent and I love Harley and need to know what happens next!

This has been a very bad anxiety week so I haven't been able to read, but I feel myself coming out of it and really want to read this one before it's due back at the library!
I have so many library books I want to read, so I'm disappointed that I couldn't focus on any of them the past few days.

I‘m in🔪

How am I just now finding out about the tagged book?? This is absolutely my type of Jam. I bought the top three this week and The Shinning comes in the mail today 😳

If you like the show Justified, you‘ll like this book. Overall I enjoyed it but I had issues with the lack of editing. Harley is a smart and strong woman who is underestimated by the men in her life. The plot unfolds through her pov but it‘s slightly repetitive. Harley is determined to triumph over her family‘s enemies and to protect those who need it. The lesson of the book isn‘t Don‘t underestimate the Mckennas, but don‘t underestimate a woman.

Brilliantly written, Barbed Wire Heart is a suspenseful, emotional read that captivates the reader right away with a first line that blows them away. “I‘m eight years old the first time I watch my daddy kill a man.” Harley‘s fight for the Rubies - abused women who get away from abusive partners - really drives the desire to end the drug empire in North County. This is a book where the less you know, the better the reading experience

Three words, folks: FEMINIST. BREAKING. BAD. 🤯

It's been too long since I last posted on here! I've been fighting a very stubborn slump and part of the solution was cutting back drastically on social media time... But with two months slump-free, I'm hoping to slowly start posting again.

Here's a photo of Delilah Bard's paws and a recent read of mine: Barbed Wire Heart by Tess Sharpe. Such a good book! 😻
