Welcome to Litsy!

I know I‘m late for #Booked2020 but wanted to catch up with myself anyway. I previously posted The Fateful Lightning as #liveandlearn but Pale Rider definitely applies too!

Reading a book set in Australia is probably as close as I‘ll get for the foreseeable future. #armchairtravel

I didn‘t especially like the romance, but it does have a #hatoncover

Unfinished stuff... I feel less and less focused as the days go on. Yesterday wasn't great BUT I finished a baby shower gift for my husband's friend. Trying to read this for #hatoncover for #Booked2020 and I'm just not able to clear my head enough to read about magic and potential parallel universes. 🙃🌻🤹‍♀️

This is the story of the assassination of Hydrich in Prague which I knew absolutely nothing about. The author blends this with his own feelings about writing about a factual event and whether to add fiction to it etc. Sometimes this part was overdone for me but I liked the book overall. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #hatoncover #booked2020 #france #readingeurope2020

This book does not disappoint after reading The Hate You Give, last year. This YA novel follows Brianna Jackson who wants to be a rapper while she juggles her school, friendships, comparisons to her dead father who was also a reaper, and her family consisting of her mother and elder brother. The book describes racism, hypocrisy, unemployment, poverty, and incarceration. Nevertheless, the book is also extremely hopeful. #booked2020 #hatoncover

loved this bk, a fictionalised account of a true crime that shocked 1920's England . We meet julia pre ww1 as a naive teenager who lives in her imagination but with incredible self belief who, following a brief flirtation with passion, is drawn into a loveless marriage with a widowed older family friend. Immersed in julia's life the culmination is shocking, +the writer does not shy from issues of women's lives + justice.5*

Trying to decide on one of these for #Booked2020 #HatOnCover. I guess the Palahniuk is kind of a head covering? 🤷‍♀️ Lol, Not Me would be a reread but I only remember I loved it but nothing beyond that! Anyone have any thoughts? #AskLitsy #Recommendsday #suggestions @cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft @LibrarianRyan @MrBook

This was WONDERFUL! Definitely get the audiobook- I listened to this in two sittings, the first of which lasted until 2:00am. Having been in high school in the 70‘s I spent my teenage years listening to Elton John so it was wonderful hearing some of the song origins, the other famous people of the time, and what was really going on in his life. I loved every single minute of this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️
