Welcome to Litsy!

I was telling a coworker about a meditation retreat I‘m attending soon. She asked me if it‘s going to be like the retreat depicted in the Hulu series. Moriarty did a great job writing about the retreat center. It‘s a lengthy book and seemed to take a long time to get to the shocking parts. Once the story climaxed, it felt rushed and awkward. The participants quickly dispersed and the rest of the book provided updates on the participants‘ lives.

I really enjoyed this read! It was a quick listen, and I loved the narration of it (with all the changes in voice/accents). Would definitely recommend it..

I am on episode 4 of the Hulu adaptation. It's very different but I am really enjoying it as well. :)

Also, the smoothies are to die for!

This is my new #AudioCommute and #AudioCleaning book :) I am enjoying them so far!

Excited about watching the Hulu show afterward :)

It‘s June already. 🤪

A book with #anynumberintitle written by the same author as a book with #lies in the title. 😎

Thank goodness I had this audio to keep me company through the MOST wretched thunderstorm as I drove to my friend's wedding yesterday!
I watched the series a bit ago and enjoyed it so thought I'd probably enjoy the book. I definitely did! The series definitely veers from the book so the book is still full of surprises and arguably more twisted than the show. I'm pretty sure in both book and show Francis is my favourite☺️

Always a decent read.

He could find hatred in his heart for her, too, if he went looking for it. The secret of a happy marriage was not to go looking for it.

I watched the show on Hulu and enjoyed it but of course the book is even better! They changed quite a few things in the show so it was nice to read the original intent. It made more sense.

So much great reading this weekend!

Finally! The perfect reading weather 😍☀️

✨Thank you! Get back into reading again in the first place, I guess. My tentative reading goal would be 35 books this year, but that's not really important...
✨ commitment
✨Started it in June last year, put it off for a long time. I want to finish it as I'd like to start my new reading year afresh afterwards. It's an entertaining read, though and I enjoy it...

Enjoying snow day #2! 🙌

Started this early in the month and wanted to finish it before year‘s end. Nine people are at a remote health resort for 10 days and don‘t realize how their lives will be changed. It started out slow but got very interesting towards the end. This is a character-driven story which led to a tv series. Definitely a study of human behavior. Amusing!

This finally came in!

Exploring the stories behind each character's reason for being at this resort was interesting, and I enjoyed seeing how those stories each played out at the end. But I found the suspense a lot of build-up leading to twists that were kind of weak. I like Moriarty's characters though, and would read more from her.

My #February pick. Of the Moriarty books I've read, this was the second best after Big Little Lies. It started slow, but I ended up loving it in the end. I haven't seen the show (movie?), so Idk how it compares.

“The lowest point of your life can lead to the highest.”

It started a little slow, but it had a really good ending. Onto the mini series…

My 10th book of the year is 9 Perfect Strangers! It was a wild and fun ride. Moriarty‘s books are usually in demand so I felt lucky to check it out from my local library with curbside service due to COVID-19. #spookyretreat #shedidwhatnow #book10of2022 #memorialbookchallenge #2021reads #75bookchallenge

Book 25-2021: I love Liane Moriarty and I went to a talk with her about this book when it came out but only just got round to reading it for book club and... I was so disappointed. I thought it had real promise to begin with but the characters never developed beyond surface level and the story just seemed to dwindle and die about two thirds in. The characters were being used as a device to move along the story but the story wasn‘t worth moving 😞

A new audiobook and kitty cuddles before work! 🐱📚🐱📚🐱📚

5 💫💫💫💫💫 This was a trip. Very funny. Nine people sign up for a health retreat with Tranquillum House in Australia. Definitely character driven. There is some suspense but fascinating learning about human behavior. Really enjoyed this one. This was the book. I didn't watch the show.

Starting this one now so I can binge it on Hulu later.

This was another book club pick and it started off really well, however at a certain point it just got a bit too ridiculous and I completely lost interest in it. I finished it for book club but had I have just read it as a choice I would have panned it. I‘ve bought her new book and I‘m a little cautious about trying it. It‘s a shame as I loved one of her previous books

I really enjoyed this book, especially the first half! I am about to start the TV series as well. Although it was weird, I found it hard to put down!
⭐️: 4/5

Has anyone here read the book? I found out the show was based on it and I‘ve finished watching. Is the book better? Should I read it?

It‘s handy when your book clubs next pick is one you happen to have gone to a festival talk with the Author about 😊 I‘ve heard mixed things about this book and I‘m a little nervous as I have loved Moriartys others but here goes!

Books, booze and beautiful British Columbia! ❤ #Canada

Perfectly enjoyable and keeps you curious enough to want to know what happens next (because tv series are not exactly according to the book.

Book #50: I cannot wait to watch the show now!! I‘ve seen mixed reviews from fellow readers on the book so I recommend reading it and forming your own opinion. It‘s very character-centric, so if that‘s your thing - like it is mine - then you will definitely like this book. I need to read more of this author.

I haven‘t read this, but I‘m watching it and it is crazy.

Started ok but I got a bit bored towards the end.

Trying this show out.... really really really need to get out of my head. Life just sucks right now. Love how one day things can be perfect and the next, shit hits the fan and no one is happy but little man.

Read this so I could watch the show. It's okay, could've used a little more "mystery" but I liked the character dynamics. What I've watched of the show so far seems to not be sticking to the book so much, maybe because of this.

I read this before I built my bookshelves and I just realized that I never posted about it! 🙈 I liked this one a lot, although it was nothing like I expected. Did not feel like a thriller at all, but more like a character study. However the characters were all interesting and I enjoyed seeing how it all came together. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This show is as as effed up as the book. 🙄
