Welcome to Litsy!

Starting this one!

Really enjoyed this one, kept me guessing with so many suspects, twists and turns. Looking forward to reading the next book.

Yet another example that mysteries just don‘t excite me. This book dragged on for ages. The font used in Pip‘s notes was way too small (and I‘ve got really good eyes). You also have to suspend your disbelief A LOT while reading this.

“Pip knew a great many things; she knew that hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia was the technical term for the fear of long words, she knew that babies were born without kneecaps,” - Holly Jackson

“But sometimes remembering isn‘t for yourself, sometimes you do it just to make someone else smile. Those lies were allowed.” - Holly Jackson

“He smiled, put his hands on the back of her neck, fingers in her hair, and leaned in to press his forehead against hers. He‘d told her before that he did it to take away half her sadness, half her headache, half her nerves before her Columbia interview. Because half less of a bad thing meant there was room for half good.” - Holly Jackson

I‘ve read and watch quite a few murder mysteries in my day and this was extremely enjoyable YA one. I really enjoyed the two main charters Pip and Ravi. They had a cute relationship which added to the plot. This book also kept me guessing who the murderer was, which always makes for a great murder mystery. I also liked how it ended and the underline messages that they included in the ending speech. Great book for adults and teenagers alike.

love the twists

My husband got this book for me after I got obsessed with Big Little Lies. I am new in the mystery/thriller reading world. I am not a big fan of the genre for movies or tv shows but want to give it a try for books. I‘m starting it tonight, but probably will change it to be my during the day reading.

Such a great book, and the second in the series was equally good. I need to read the last in the trilogy! (I‘m looking at you #SeriesLove2023)

This was a twisty turn ride.

Had to read because so many of my students love it. It was good and suspenseful.

Yes I own this book
No I haven't read it yet

4.5 ⭐️ Wow- once things got going, I could not put this down. You will have to suspend disbelief to enjoy this, but it‘s a gripping tale and I think it‘s worth it.

What a ride! An absolute roller coaster of a book, stuffed with secrets and riddles, and a mystery that‘s as tangled as any I‘ve come across. Pip (MC) is likeable and appealing, and it is easy to see why she becomes compulsively wrapped up in this story. On to book 2!

Starting this series next to find out who the #killer really is! #ScarathlonDailyPrompts #TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon

Loved the first book, hope to finish the series as soon as I get a copy.

Current Kindle read…I wasn‘t sure I loved the framework at first, but it‘s growing on me. It certainly allows for a lot of development. Just starting to get creepy…

Here you go, @julieclair , my 5 books for you to choose from for #Scarathlon2022 and #trappedonanisland. I hope you enjoy the ones you choose. 1. A Good Girl‘s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson; 2. Witchy Wednesday by Denise Jaden; 3. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Spear; 4. Small Spaces by Katherine Arden; and 5. Skeptic in Salem by Fiona Grace.

Loved it. 100% recommend. I can't say much without ruining the plot, but it really did catch me of guard. Every time something went down, my whole thought on what had happened completely changed. It keep me reaching out for answers, and I finally got them. It's interesting that she left so many loose ends. I can't wait to read the next book, maybe some of those loose ends will be tied up.

Why is everyone so obsessed with tea?

It's a really good book, tho, I suggest you read it.

The people you love weren't algebra: to be calculated, subtracted, or held at arm's length across a decimal point.

I really enjoyed this one. So many twists and turns. And it had a murder board. Made me miss Trial & Error. I really liked how she jumped back and forth between the research and third person. It was different. Can‘t wait to finally get my hands on the sequel.

Cringey and Farfetched, won‘t be buying the rest of the series

This series (3 books) is fabulous! #AlphabetGame #LetterG @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

It was such a captivating book. Didn‘t even want to put it down for a second. Can‘t wait to read the second one in the series!

Really fast paced, a fun, breezy, read that will totally take you out your reading slump if you have one. The suspense, the characters, the development of the plot and twists were really well balanced and just all over it's just a really good story you can devour in a day. 8/10

Quick read! Overall good !

This was SUCH a fun read!!! So many twists and turns that I almost looked to the end of the book before I was finished because I was so excited to know what the ending was! 🙈

Such a fun read! It reminded me so much of the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries I used to read as a kid but definitely updated for this century. Technically middle grade but meaty enough for us adults. I will likely read the rest of the book in the series as well.

My current read. Started listening to this today and so far, I‘m intrigued. Have a great Monday everyone

This was such a fun read! There was a great balance between the characters lives as well as the mystery, which was a great one. It was fun trying to come up with theories as I read along, and the ending was a big shock! 4.5/5 ⭐️

This started a bit slow. It took a while to really peek my interest, but once it did, I was hooked! An ending I never expected!

Fast paced and a good mystery! This book was a lot of fun and a very quick read. The author struck a good balance too between developing the teen girl and following the mystery.

DNF. I couldn‘t force myself to keep reading.

This was fantastic! Pip is the perfect narrator. Kept me on my toes and constantly guessing!! I only predicted half the ending, but honestly I thought it could have been anyone! Definitely finishing the series. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great read/book, it shouldn‘t have taken me this long to finish it!

5/5

Wow! This book is totally worth the HYPE had really high hopes for it and I didn‘t get disappointed. I enjoyed every and each chapter especially the last one. There was not one single time I got bored with it, couldn‘t even put it down.

This book was great! Although a YA read, I really enjoyed the plot and mystery of it. Reminded me slightly of Nancy Drew books I used to read as a child. If you love #mystery books, you‘ll like this one!

#currentlisten

Really good! Did not expect the ending. It was very fun trying to it out and making up theories.

What a page turner! I haven‘t read a book this fast in ages! I was engrossed in Pippa‘s murder-suicide investigation from the jump and definitely fell for some red herrings — maybe they‘ll resurface in the sequels? (What could the sequels possibly be about?!) I really liked the mixed research report/narrative format too.

So good…I was starting to feel like I wasn‘t able to find any books to get sucked into…this one did it!

Only 45 pages in, and this is already 1,000 times better than my last read. Let‘s gooooooo!! Also, ignore the target sticker…it was very resistant to being removed. I need to get after it with the blow dryer.

In S. King‘s “Misery”, he spoke of a phenomenon called the “gotta”, where you cannot put a book down because “I gotta know.” This book was full of the “gotta” gene. It had all the traits, too: a thriller, fast-paced, & short chapters.
But things got out of control for me & it went beyond the realm of possibility. What brought it down for me is the way that it concluded. Too much happened in 5% of the book & there were too many speeches.
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Let‘s try this one next!

Murder mystery set in a small town. Fast paced, thrilling, before you start to suspect someone the MC already do it in elaborate way. So you should keep on reading.An entertaining and interesting read. I am not a fan of YA mysteries but this was exceptionally good. From long time I wanted to read #murdermysteryseries I can‘t wait to read the next book in the #series 4.5🌟
#seriesread2022 #bookspinbingo

Finally listened to this YA mystery and I really enjoyed it. A high school student‘s senior project unravels a town mystery. This was a very well constructed mystery regardless of being YA. There was a touch of teen angst which prevents me from making this a perfect read for me, but very entertaining and I look forward to the next book in the series. 4⭐️
