Welcome to Litsy!

Medusa has had many roles in many stories. Daughter, sister, mortal, priestess, victim, monster. Here‘s a story that incorporates many aspects of her past to make something new.

A fascinating retelling of Medusa. This Medusa is much younger than other retellings, & that influences a lot. Medusa‘s characterization is deep, but everyone else‘s is shallow. The pacing kept me tense the whole time, & the ending left me feeling a bit sad.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

This was my #DoubleSpin for November, and I'm glad I finally read it. I'm now caught up on the #Outlander books and am only awaiting the final season of the show and the final book in the series. Perhaps I'll try something from the “Methadone List.“ But first, I need to read my #BookSpin book for the month.

This was an entertaining and fast paced mystery. As others have said, there were too many POVs, and some characters were more compelling to spend time with than others. It‘s a pick, but I don‘t think I‘ll continue with the series if it turns into one. #bookspin

Edited to add: I will use this for the “present” prompt of #ChristmasCrimeChallenge since it doesn‘t fit any other category!

#10BeforeTheEnd this week is Peepshow
#Bookspin The Frozen River
And a couple of small nonfictions one very local about the Oregon cheese industry and one about the amazing Nina Simone

I took a brief getaway on Friday and didn‘t take a book with me. It felt strange. So this afternoon I picked up a haul at the library.

I‘m stuck at first place in the hold line one of my #bookspin selections, so I figured in the meantime I‘d start on the tagged book, which is the other selection.

Alexa is playing classical music for me, and a cup of tea is steeping.

I was sold on this one by a convincing shelf talker at my favorite bookstore, and it didn't disappoint! This fantasy played with time, memory, history, and love. It was a little commentary on censorship, a little on government corruption, and a lot on the influences on our consciousness and reality. I loved it! This was my November #Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

The multiple POVs were a little much at times, and I found the miscommunication trope that drives the "heartbreak" part of the story a little ridiculous. Overall, though, I found the story engaging and readable. This was my October #Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

This was good! My #bookspin for November @TheAromaofBooks #nonfictionNovember

November #bookspin along with another favorite author. Focus had been a real struggle lately so only creeping along with both right now.

Not bad :) I hated most the characters though, but it held my interest. Finished this while waiting on my doc appointment - now twiddle my thumbs till they see me :(
