Welcome to Litsy!

I listened to the audiobook of this via BorrowBox,
I found it interesting and eye opening,
but not my favourite, I may listen to the other 2 books in future

3.75/5

Reading some old-school horror today to escape from the modern-day horrors.

Anyone read this one?

Excellent as ever from Mr. King. Excited to travel through this series.

I haven‘t picked up this book in months and am so behind, but I‘m determined to finish this chunkster by the end of January. Wish me luck! 😬

This was a little too much “dude bro“ for my tastes and the second half dragged on. There was definitely some humor but Kevin R. Free's narration was flawless and the only thing that kept me going.

“We haunt them. They want to kill us but we will not die.”

“He‘s saying, it‘s a choice between life and death. But really, what Mariam is pointing out is - there‘s a third way. You can be a ghost.”

One of the most beautiful novels I‘ve read.

Just finished this one for #EuropaCollective. Our narrator Rosa is always trying to better her life in Russia, from a nicer apartment to getting hard-to-find food to making sure her daughter grows up well. She‘s a riot, always criticizing others, but never anything but wonderful things to say about herself. But she always wants a good life for her daughter and then her granddaughter and will go any lengths to achieve that goal. ⬇️

I hated this and it isn't interesting enough to hate read. I have been avoiding even listening to this for 2 days. Every woman in this novel is the whiniest privileged woman and it is boring. We are spending all of our time with Toni a war obsessed professor who took Zenia's bf in college and who lives in fear Z will come back and take him back? He is not even a great guy? There are so many moments I swore out loud in disgust

So cleverly written, I thought it was nonfiction. I found myself looking at the cover several times to see the word NOVEL.

The event truly happened. The author confessed not being a fan, but hates how the press puts down the team by calling the players, "Munichs." How awful. Survival of a plane crash in the 50s. Then having to deal with the offense of media, courts, fans, etc.

Mr. Peace, you may not be a fan, but you certainly made me one.

3✨ I haven‘t been a fan of this authors writing style, but this one I enjoyed a lot more than others I have read. I continue reading because the retellings he creates stick to the fairy tale in a way that only he can imagine. I really enjoyed hearing Iris‘ story as she discovered a different life, and Clara who showed the curses of being beautiful. #DogsofLitsy -Tess
