Welcome to Litsy!

Silvia Shute lies in a coma in a hospital ICU. Hoping to rouse her, family and friends come in to talk to her.

There were some very, very funny parts, mainly involving Silvia's sister, Jo. Other parts I found irritating, particularly Silvia's Indonesian cleaning lady, Tia. I didn't find her particular brand of broken English convincing and the Jamaican nurse's eye dialect was something of a trial as well, even though she had a good storyline.

Just say “Oh Dear, Daria!” My Boxing Day #bookoutlethaul arrived this week. I have no room for these! I also have a Book Outlet gift card from my bro for Christmas 😁

Since these were ordered in 2018, they are definitely on Mount TBR. And yet, this month I‘m mostly reading library borrows. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This. "Solitude is fine, being alone is fine. Being lonely is not."

Reading this one for #SteepedinStories and there are certainly some interesting Mother-Daughter relationships going on!

I had a good mail day today! @BookishTrish the latest #SteepedinStories package arrived today! I figured since I am the last to read @drokka's pick, I could reveal the cover/title. I had never heard of this one, and it's a bit of a different read for me, so I'm excited to try it! Trish, the tea you picked looks delicious and perfect for my morning cuppa.

Is it still Wednesday somewhere in Litsyland?

I meant to share this for #Recommendsday yesterday.

This book is funny and sad and heartbreaking and heartmending all at once. I read it a number of years ago and can still remember much about the story and characters.

Give it a go!

(Even though it's Thursday 🙄.)

The story revolves around a woman in a coma and the relationship her loved ones have/had with her. Some less desirable than others. #taintedlove #junetunz

Oh dear, indeed. I've read reviews that say this book finds heart and humor as it goes on, but it was so... hopeless for me. Blergh, is how it made me feel.
