Welcome to Litsy!

Even though I enjoyed reading this, I intended to rate it as so-so, but after the intense book club discussion yesterday, my estimation of it has improved. 😊

#book4book @Soubhiville I‘ll send this on to you this week with my book.

1. Scarves...infinity ones. In the winter they keep me warm and dress up an outfit.
2. I drove through the desert to get to Las Vegas.
3. Reading the tagged book. It‘s good but at the moment I am a bot confused. 🤣

@MoonWitch94 #ThoughtfulThursday

I tag you all!

Getting ready to begin my #Book4Book

These are my 4 picks, but I suggest the tagged book. I am guessing we all read the synopsis of each book and agree to one?

This was not for me. Told in multiple POVs, I liked some of the characters better than others and that is why I stuck with this.

I absolutely loved this book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

This is book 7 for #BookSpinBonanza as well. 😃

Today‘s #MayARC was released 5/5. It‘s being marketed as being for fans of The Hours and Fates and Furies.

Thanks to partner NetGalley for the digital ARC of Anna Solomon‘s The Book of V in exchange for an honest review.

Anna Solomon‘s The Book of V, out May 5th, is an astonishing and beautiful novel. Through three parallel stories, Solomon explores the ways that women can fight to define their identities, even in situations when they seem to be powerless. ⬇️

I absolutely loved this book, I loved the stories of all three main characters. I feel like I should have seen the connection in Part 3 coming, but I didn‘t, and that made it all the more surprising and enjoyable. I also read this right after Untamed by Glennon Doyle and I feel like they both had a great message that we will perpetually be works-in-progress.

4/5🌟This is a Biblical retelling of the story of Queen Esther with modern interconnections.
Told from three perspectives Lilly, Vee and Queen Esther whoes story was odd at times to me, but I did loved how Solomon weaved her story in with these other womens. Ultimately showing the progression of womanhood from ancient times to modern day. Solomon's writing is rich and compelling. This moved a bit slow for me but I ultimately did enjoy it.

Bailing at the 40% mark. This book is terribly executed and the writing is cartoonish. The character of Queen Esther, my favorite biblical heroine is unrecognizable. This would be a skip from me.

“For fans of The Hours and Fates and Furies, a bold, kaleidoscopic novel intertwining the lives of three women across three centuries as their stories of sex, power, and desire finally converge in the present day.”

Rare picture of my favorite snuggly boy Alastor. 😻

New #ARC #NetGalley A reimagining of the Bible story of Queen Esther 👑 I‘m hoping for The Red Tent meets The DoveKeepers ❤️
