JuJuB had a f/u appointment for his eye surgery about 2 hours' drive from my home, so ... I could start and finish this one today.

Wow, I didn't guess the ending. I enjoyed all the twists and turns! I need to pick up more of Agatha's works!

#BlameItOnLitsy @Morr_Books you were right about this narrator!

(JuJu's eye surgery is healing well. his next f/u is 3-6 months --- my baby boy is doing really well).

While chatting on Zoom, @Morr_Books recommended this narrator. I had Audible credits to spare, and I've been meaning to read more Agatha Christie, so it felt like fate!

Opinion needed: this is a #BlameItOnLitsy so, I humbly ask for some help here.

I had been getting ready to start this, until I saw Lisa Gardner‘s review on the cover comparing it to Jillian Flynn‘s book. I love Gardner but absolutely abhorred ‘Gone Girl‘ (same goes for ‘Dark Places‘ & ‘Sharp Objects‘ as well🤦🏻‍♀️😬).

My question: What were everyone‘s thoughts on this one? Was it like Flynn‘s or was it a good read?

TheSpineView I have not read this one yet. 😏 1w
DieAReader @TheSpineView 😉Figured I‘d ask lol 1w
TheAromaofBooks Oh dear, I haven't read this one yet, either!!! 1w

DieAReader UPDATE: After a browse of reviews, I‘ve decided to skip this one & add it straight to my trade credit bag. 1w
CoverToCoverGirl I‘m with you on Flynn. I never understood why readers liked her books so much. 1w

#WeeklyForecast 11/24

I am reading the tagged one and it is good. I just finished John Marrs‘s debut, a decent thriller. Now I am about to start Orbital, a 💯 #BlameItOnLitsy read!

squirrelbrain I borrowed Orbital from the library, just in case it makes the long list, but it is *very* slim so not sure if it‘s eligible or not. (Needs to be 30,000 words) 2w

#BlameItOnLitsy

Ironically,* I found out* about this podcast on Litsy, and now I‘m 100% ignoring my audiobook for it. 😆 That‘s not supposed to be the point of this app! But it‘s so delightfully nostalgic & addictive.

*Also ironically, the first two episodes I listened to focused on Alanis Morissette and The Gin Blossoms, responsible for “Ironic” and “Found Out About You” (respectively).

Link to podcast in the comments!

ravenlee Gin Blossoms 💕😍 still one of my favorite bands ever. 2w
TheKidUpstairs Welp, I know what I'll be listening to for the next while! 2w

ImperfectCJ I like this podcast, too! My spouse and I listen on the way driving our kid to/from college. The Greenday episode was great for punk history, and I really enjoyed the Mazzy Star one (which was mostly about Low). The Cake one was quite impactful, and we listened to the Pearl Jam episode this past weekend. It keeps my Spotify playlists interesting. :-) 2w
batsy Oh no, I didn't know about this podcast and now I think I'm about to lose hours of my life as well 😁 2w
monalyisha @TheKidUpstairs @batsy Sorry/not sorry! 😅😆 2w
monalyisha @ImperfectCJ I keep thinking about whether I should skip around to songs &/or artists I‘m most excited to hear about or just keep going linearly. If I listen in order, it will feel like such a deserved treat when I get to anticipated episodes, which is kind of nice. Delayed gratification. 😉 Not that the listening experience, in general, isn‘t gratifying! 2w
ImperfectCJ @monalyisha I'm a total skipper. No regrets! 2w

Went a little nuts with BOTM picks for March. The Storm We Made is getting lots of Women Prize buzz and The Great Divide also got a couple of mentions. Murder Road is for July #SundayBuddyRead. The Fox Wife is #blameitonLitsy and Yours Truly was the only free finalist book I haven‘t read or don‘t already own. Looking forward to seeing everyone‘s choices.

AmyG I went a bit nuts (for me), too. 3w

This will be a favorite of the year, without a doubt. The writing is absolutely gorgeous, the setting was a character in itself (the kind where you can almost feel it whilst reading), and Janet…..poor Janet. I loved her, could relate to her in certain ways, even rooted for her despite knowing the outcome. What a book. #blameitonlitsy

TrishB Agree ❤️ haven‘t seen that cover before either. 1mo
erzascarletbookgasm I will put this further up my tbr stacks! 1mo
CBee @TrishB I kind of like the other cover better 🤷‍♀️ But it could‘ve been covered in bubble wrap and I‘d still love the book 😂 1mo

Chelsea.Poole Oh I kind of like this cover! I have the other cover checked out from the library and I need to prioritize it, especially now after this review ☺️ 1mo
Deblovestoread Lovely review. Stacked 📚 1mo
CBee @Chelsea.Poole this cover makes no sense until you read it 😂 And I actually looked at it again after I finished and realized, OH I see now 😂 1mo
CBee @Deblovestoread I really think you‘ll love it! 1mo

In general, I really enjoyed this experience. Discovering love regardless of one's size can be difficult, intimidating, and demanding. I cannot fathom having to go through this process again. (Fortunately, my spouse and I are still going strong.) It would have been great to receive a small booklet containing all the fashion photographs.#BlameItOnLitsy

TheKidUpstairs @AmyG Every review I've seen has been absolutely glowing, and my library doesn't have it! So I just had to get myself a copy :) 1mo
TheKidUpstairs @ChaoticMissAdventures @Chelsea.Poole Greta sounds sooo up my alley. I'm very excited for it. I think it's going to be my next read! 1mo
TheKidUpstairs @Liz_M @Tamra I've been so intrigued by the Litsy response to that one, I just had to check it out for myself! 1mo
TheKidUpstairs @sarahbarnes @BarbaraBB Thanks! It was a happy bookstore day :) I have a friend who works there who let me into their ARC shelves as well, so I brought home a couple that I may have to start with before I can get to these so I can bring them back, but North Woods and Greta and Valdin are definitely priority reads. 1mo

I enjoyed the plot twists in my book! Today, I prioritized my self-care routine and managed to complete everything on my list except painting my nails, but I did remove the chipped polish. In addition, I indulged in a nice, long hot shower with a shower steamer and some step exercises. #SelfCareIsNotSelfish #TherapeuticThursday #DoubleSpin #BlameItOnLitsy

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Sounds like a lovely day!! 1mo
