Welcome to Litsy!

Book 2 completed for #LittenListen #audioathon.

I‘m not sure if this would be a short story or novella at 2 ish hours. It‘s about relationships, mostly gone wrong. I found it pretty unsatisfying. I‘m not sure what the author meant to convey here besides disappointment in love and trust.

From the holiday list this fits for National Columnist day, about a journalist.

I'm not sure if I liked it or not. It begins as a typical story you might see in The New Yorker in the eighties about a young writer's experience in a relationship with an egotistical older male writer who cheats. But the narrative soon unravels into stranger territory. It seems like a parody of high brow writing of the period it is set - there are character names like 'Goodness' and 'Destiny' that strike me as tongue-in-cheek. Overall it was a 🤷

This was nearly a Pan - but a few intriguing lines/concepts resonated with me enough to save it. I feel like there's something left here to be desired... maybe I just didn't "get it"? Short enough that I slogged through... but if it had been longer I likely would have bailed. No likeable or accessable characters here for me!

Absolute drivel. Nothing happens. Waste of time.

Another #giveaway to celebrate the 100th episode of Reading Envy! This is a slim reads stack. One translated, one grief memoir, one philosophy, and one novella. USA only (sorry). To enter, comment with the name of your favorite novella or short book, by midnight Thursday.

Saw unfavorable reviews on this book on both #Litsy and #goodreads. Naturally, I had to read it for myself. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️🤔🤓

Finished this one early this morning. A short audiobook, though I still quite enjoyed it.

Did not enjoy #walkswithmen - I found it meandering & cliche. Thankful I only paid .69 cents. Moving on...

My first completed read for #24in48 and it is a book where nothing happens other than a young woman making bad decisions and somehow she tells it twice in 100 pages. This was a filler book on Book Outlet to get to my $35. @24in48

Books I might read for @24in48 #readathon.... Many of them I've started but stopped for different reasons, but not for dislike. So I'm hoping to get through some. Not all!

Oh you need to do a book photo shoot? Doyle says me first! #dogsoflitsy

The other part of my Book Outlet order... All.of these were $1-3! Some of the covers are striking. Others were selected for location (cold weather islands.)

This book contains some reasonably good advice!
