Welcome to Litsy!

This book was put in my hands with a vague, “I enjoyed this,“ by a family member. Free is a good price point, so I took it. I only read a chapter of this one before realizing…oh. This is a book about Hemmingway, Paris, and adultery. I've got no attachment to the first two, and greatly dislike the third so…I decided to read something else.

The chapter I read had a lovely narrative voice, though, I'd certainly read other things by the author.

Messy women are my jam. In fiction, not in real life. Keep your messy behind far away, please and thank you. I don‘t think the Mrs. Dalloway comparison is apt as this novel spends way more time flashing back than it does at said dinner party. But we had a very lively discussion about it at book club and while everyone liked it, we just wanted 50 more pages. Still I could relate to a lot of the mess. Mega bonus points for being set in Philly.

Final #WeeklyForecast for March! Already! I am done with all my “assignments“ for the month, so this week is all about random stuff. Hoping to finish the Heartstone trilogy and maybe work on a Regency romance series that my sister loaned to me...last year 😂 We will see where the week takes me!!

Meh. I‘m not usually one to see things coming (I‘m not trying to, I‘m just enjoying the story) but I saw a lot of these twists coming. Also, the characters were not very likable. I didn‘t dislike it enough to not finish it but I definitely didn‘t love it either.

All of these I read while traveling across Morocco. All were really good! Tomorrow I am flying home again, it‘s been a great week!

I hope this counts. 🥰

Two of my March #roll100 titles. My first TJR books. Loved Evelyn Hugo. Daisy Jones, however, did not work for me. Great concept, but it lacked in authenticity.

Working on my last one for the month, Factory Girls.

This was a unique story and was written in a way that had me all the way invested and wondering what I would do if I were in all the characters places. Really examine how I feel like I would handle it. I was also very satisfied with the ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Marriage and family. It‘s not always easy. You have to work at it, compromise, and sometimes you find you are just not happy enough to stick it out in the long run. The characters also have many regrets in life, but life is about choices, growing, and learning along the way. Read this for a work program, senior center book club. #ReadHarder23 ~Read an author local to you #Pop23 ~A book about divorce
