Welcome to Litsy!

I didn‘t find this as good as Picoult‘s other books, but the second half did pick up maybe because all timelines (except Rebecca‘s) were now moving forward. But also I liked reading the same thing happening from a different POV. I don‘t think I really liked any of the characters. I suppose that could mean that everyone had good and bad points. I agreed with the ending (but there are probably readers who wanted it to end the way I didn‘t!).

I love Jodi Picoults books so I decided to read her first book. It goes backwards through time and shows the thoughts of all of the main characters. Jane marries Oliver at a young age to get away from her father. This family is just messed up in every way. There are so many triggers in this. Ok, I almost stopped reading…lets just say, boy did her writing and topics improve!😏

This is my #bookspin for #bookspinbingo August and I quit at page 41. It bored me, I started looking up reviews to see if anyone else felt the same. The domestic abuse alluded to on the front page, that drives the story forward, was mild. Several relationships seem unhealthy. I'm just not interested enough to keep reading.

TBR since May 2nd. 2019, I saved myself from 307 tiny print pages.

I have a bunch of Jodi Picoult books to read this year!

Hard to characterize, hard to finish, hard to love.

An early Picoult

I really wanted to like this book. However, I felt like the characters were too whiney. I did not like all the trauma that the 15 year old suffered through. The characters did not make me love or root for them. So I gave it a meh.

#readandeat for day 3 of #something forest
Just a quick simple breakfast before dog walking, then back home to finish up this book (less than 50 pages to go!) and dig into a new one!
3 cheers for #biblioweekend #readathon!

My September TBR. I'm almost done with Songs of the Humpback Whale. Also plan to get in Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta and Sold by Patricia McCormick on audio, and possibly more, but Flesh and Spirit is super thick so maybe not.
My goal this month is all female authors 😘 just because.

#currentlyreading plus Shift by Hugh Howey on audio. I'm not good at book monogamy. 😜📚

That delicious moment when you're about to start a new book. Mmmmmmmm.
