Welcome to Litsy!

Having read this so shortly after Our Kids: The America Dream in Crisis was a #Powerful combination. If you aren't screwed by the opportunity gap in childhood, you're pretty likely to be screwed by the bottom-line mentality of the corporate world.

Esther Markstrom and her artist mother have always been proud of their ancestor, painter Francisco Vella. They even run a small museum and gallery dedicated to raising awareness of his scandalously underappreciated work.

When Juan Cabrillo fails to capture the leader of Mexico‘s most dangerous drug cartel and loses an Oregon crew member in the process, he‘s determined to get revenge. Little does he know that the explosion he just narrowly escaped was merely the latest flash of violence from a machine of war that has existed for decades, dating from the bloodiest episode in Armenia‘s history.

Mid-month #BookspinBingo check in.

It‘s going well but the library holds are changing the TBR daily. lol

This one has been on my want-to-reread list forever, so having it be a #Roll100 pick this month gave me that final nudge! While some parts of this story feel a little cluttered, overall it's just such a fun little story with some delightfully memorable characters. Feiffer's illustrations really add so much.

Despite the cover blurb, I don't think I would term this one as “nail-biting“. However, it did keep me turning the pages. This is a sort of character-study thriller, with a slow reveal of backstories and motivations, exploring both a current and past case. While I did have some mixed feelings about some aspects, overall I enjoyed it and actually reserved the second book at the library. 😁

Here‘s how my bingo board is looking now. I‘ve finished all of my ARCs that I had to read this month. I don‘t know if I‘m going to get a bingo or not. I‘m going to start reading the trilogy on my #readyourkindle list and I‘ll see if I have time to read any of my #bookspin books. I‘ve earned 6 mood reads for my #bookspinbingo list next month because I read 6 ARCs this month. That‘s my reward for next month.

Here‘s my review for a book I just DNF‘d. It‘s ridiculous how long the second chapter was. I was still reading the second chapter today at the park when I was walking my dog and the investigation for the murder is still going on so I decided that I had enough.

Release date: 4/29/24

I admit I was intrigued by the Murdaughs. I watched the whole trail on CourtTV. Of course, when I found out about this book, I had to read it. It's the memoir of the reporter that knew something was off from the beginning Mandy Matney.

Though this book.has had mixed reviews, I liked it. I gave it 3.5⭐ because there were parts that got a little bogged down. If you were interested in the cases against Alex, give the book a try.
