Welcome to Litsy!

I didn't want to like this, really, because I disliked Providence. Page 9, I'm totally uncomfortable and hooked... 😏

If this book is anywhere near as fucking creepy as the show, I might throw up 🤮... But now I'm intrigued and want to read it.

I read this before he was the dreamy dan Humphries. And it was a bit too much for me. Really good in some places but dragged on in others.

For any fans of You, my favorite podcast put out an episode about why society is so fascinated by psychopaths and true crime, healthy relationships, and stalking in the modern social media era. I laughed and said "hmmm" a lot and really enjoyed this episode!

After watching the Netflix series, i decided to read the book and I am glad i did. Just like in the show, i found myself rooting for Joe until i took time to think about it rationally. As usual, the book is much more detailed than the show and it was do fascinating reading how Joe rationalizes all of his behaviour. Also as usual, things occurred differently in the book than the show so it kept me interested.

AHHHH I AM SO EXCITED! Two more books are coming for the "You" series by Caroline Kepnes. They are some of my favorite audiobooks, narrated by Santino Fontana (and the TV series is great too - Lifetime dropped it but Netflix recently picked it up for season 2, based on Hidden Bodies - comes out later this year I think). May she write faster than GRRM so the series can still follow her excellent plotting.

I was going to go with something nice and sweet for the #lovemenow prompt, but instead went with Joe Goldberg in You. You know, because I haven‘t already posted a profane number of times about this character and this book...
#amonthofsongs

I mean of course I had to go with Joe for #lovemenow
#amonthofsongs

I‘m just going to leave this right here...

I was captivated with Joe's sociopathic narrative in this novel. I watched the TV show first yet I still throughly enjoyed the plot. Can't wait to finish the sequel, Hidden Bodies! Overall score 4.5/5👍🏽

🤣🤣🤣

Ready for the weekend!!!

Joe is a nut-job. But Beck is a nut too. I'm only just going into chapter 4, and I've shaken my head more than I ever have.

My favourite #BookToMovie Adaptation. Joe is one creepy f*** but I love to hate him. They did a great job with the Netflix special, and I can‘t wait to see if they do another season. ♥️

Literally everyone is the worst in this book - yes, even Ethan - but Chana and Lynn are perfect most of the time.

Shall we say Joe is determined to have Beck as his own? Yeah, let‘s go with determined... 🤭

Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you
You don't want to lose it again
But I'm not like them
Baby, when you finally
Get to love somebody
Guess what
It's gonna be me

I almost didn‘t read this because an old friend said it was horrid. Wow... she was very wrong. What. A. Ride! Now to watch the Netflix show with my BFF and wait not so patiently for the next one to come in at the library.

Ok I loved it. It‘s creepy but I also laughed lol. Can‘t wait to start the series.

Up next!!

Starting this.

#AnglophileApril #EveryBreathYOUTake #IlBeWatchingYOU 👀Meet my favorite stalker, Joe! Think it‘s time to watch the Netflix series. I hear it‘s intense!!!!! Images from Google

A creepy stalker song made me think of Joe, of course.

This was creepy and disturbing and totally addictive. I was alternating between rooting for Joe and being disgusted with him. So kudos to Kepnes for making me conflicted about a STALKER!?! Beck, on the other hand, I disliked all the way 😬 #sorrynotsorry

What a great way to start the day! Thank you so much @MaleficentBookDragon Chelle! I love the little funkos and am excited to read this one. 🥰🥰

It was supposed to be a quick run into Target, but my cart hijacked me and forced me into the book aisle (I blame that one wonky wheel). The notebook is going to be for keeping lists of books I want to read. I'm a sucker for nice notebooks.

This book is so good. I loved reading Joe‘s crazy internal dialogue and the references to books I love and a bookstore that sounds pretty cool (minus that whole glass cage dungeon). Kepnes did an excellent job of showing Joe‘s emotional instability and range from when he thought the relationship was going well to one of the many times when Beck didn‘t respond to a message and he spiraled. Also, crazy Joe has a wicked sense of humor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a #creep 😱

“I love Stephen King as much as any red rum drinking American, but I resent the fact that I, the bookseller, am his bitch.”

Y‘all, these lines...😆 I‘m guessing every bookseller feels the same way about King. Despite these snarky comments cracking me up, I know Joe‘s a psycho. I‘ve seen the show. I‘m aware. He‘s not winning me over. Crazy trumps humor every time. Gotta watch out for crazy. 👀👹🙅‍♀️

“...a girl version of Adam Levine with beady eyes and unwarranted self-confidence.” 😆

Like many, I watched the Netflix series first. I enjoyed it so much, I knew I had to read the book.

I found myself laughing out loud in some parts, nearly biting my nails in others. This book will envelope you in Joe's twisted little mind trying to figure out how his rational works (I mean seriously, the dude is sick AF) and you'll find yourself in a love/hate relationship of your own with Beck.

Cannot wait for the sequel to arrive home! 📚 ❤️

As a bookseller, I find myself agreeing with Joe in a lot of ways...which I also find incredibly disturbing.

What an important reminder to NOT be the type of person that's so easily distracted by what they think they want, that they unappreciate what they already have. #appreciatewhatyouhave & #begrateful 🖤

Factttsssss ... If you're in #NYC, you have to go to Magnolia Bakery. Not sure about the cupcakes but their banana pudding is 👌😋

"WTF are you up to now Joe?"

Terribile. Scritto in modo raccapricciante. Io ho visto prima la serie e mi è piaciuta ( un prodotto leggero da poter veder anche mentre si fa altro, ma godibile). Il romanzo è allucinante per quanto è mal scritto.

When you have a lot of books it can be a challenge keeping them organized. So happy to get rid of a bunch and keep what I love! 🥰📚

Which book has disappointed you?

For me, #GoneGirl received rave reviews and I found myself bored. I hated the characters - I felt there was so much malice but a lack of depth making them unrelatable (Thank GAWD).

#You , however, is so captivating. I find myself wanting to know more about Beck (as I'm thinking #getsomecurtains girlfriend) and getting enveloped in Joe's twisted little mind. Can't wait to loose sleep over this read. #teamnosleep

For some reason the last 1/4 of this book took me forever to finish, but otherwise was pretty impressed. All of the twists had been spoiled for me from watching the show on Netflix first, but unique point of view of the narrator still made the book feel so fresh. It‘s not for everyone and the misogyny that threads through the book is difficult to read at times.

It would probably be a pick just for the bookishness.

I watched the show and thought it was creepy, so I checked out the book. The book is a lot more creepy and raunchy than the show because it's all told by Joe. #creepy #stalker #serialkiller

Whoa... This book is definitely not for everybody. Constant f-bombs, graphic sex scenes, and generally sinister internal monologue.
But definitely elaborated on the Netflix series.

Today‘s bargains 📚📚

Joe Goldberg fits the jealous guy prompt😄😄

#MarchIntoThe70s #Day15 #JealousGuy I think being a creepy stalker qualifies you as a Jealous Guy. Joe is working in a bookstore when writer Guinevere Beck comes in. She‘s gorgeous, smart & Joe is instantly obsessed. He starts tracking her online & in real life, finding out everything he can and begins manipulating her life to include him and taking out any obstacles.Including murdering people in his way.Creepy.Just creepy.And definitely jealous.

My #bookanddinner tonight. That‘s wild caught Alaskan salmon (caught by me!) and salad.

Trying to finish this up tonight so that I can get started on Daisy Jones soon.

Finished this one and hooooo boy do I have some thoughts. I liked it, but watching the show first definitely impacted my reading. I found the characters to be 10x more hate-able in the book, and man I wish there was more Blythe (who is the best character in the show, in my opinion). I can‘t really say more without spoiling it, but I‘m excited to see where the world of Joe goes next.

This book was entertaining in the sense that it made me want to crawl up into myself and hide forever. Quick read that kept me on my toes. Being in Joe‘s psyche was horrifying yet I couldn‘t quit reading. Now on to the Netflix show!

I think that Joe would be classed as a psycho killer....
