Welcome to Litsy!

Thank God for my fully charged Kindle and the beachside bar...got my awesome salad, fabulous drink and I‘m ready to start a new #ARC #HappyMemorialDay 🇺🇸❤️#NetGalley #ReadAndEats

This was a wonderful, better-paced sequel that I was excited to receive from #netgalley! This book focuses on the fighting front in World War I and how our protagonist Robert, the first male philosopher rescue flier in this alternate history/fantasy, fares along with his squadron. The author really did his historical research to ground the fantastical elements in reality, and it shows. Out on July 16th!

Plot twists galore, misdirection, unreliable narrators . . . Wendy Walker deftly employs them all without making the result gimmicky. You'll be turning the pages quickly as you try to figure out the truth. So settle in . . . you'll be reading for awhile. I was! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

If the rumors are true and this is a June #BOTM I‘m telling you #STACKIT❣️❣️❣️I just finished Part 1 which is the dad‘s PoV now we get to hear the accused killer‘s version of events. Can‘t wait 🤗 #NetGalley

This book might sound like The Sound of Music: a governess to children in a household run by a wealthy but distant father who is influential in politics.
Except instead of singing pleasant tunes, the children LITERALLY CATCH FIRE.
This premise could be played for easy laughs, but Wilson refrains from cheap thrills. He uses humor, wit, and heart to meditate on attachment, parenting, and children healing from trauma. Thanks #NetGalley for the #ARC.

Memory is a tricky thing no-one remembers the same event in the same way so whose memories are nearest to the truth.

Great look at OCD.

Just remembered, I forgot to review this #ComingOfAge story of two sisters growing up in 1950‘s Detroit. Unfortunately this story fell flat for me. It was too long and the author threw so many cliches and hot-button topics into the plot that this book felt overplayed. It lacked subtlety and authenticity. Some plot lines dragged and others were introduced and resolved in a paragraph. Not my favorite by Ms. Weiner. #NetGalley #ARC #MorningRead

Set in the Great Depression in San Francisco, Willa McCarthy grows up watching the building of the golden gate bridge in the shadow of her four older brothers and a tragic family secret. Living with a strict Irish Catholic family she is the ever dutiful and obedient daughter who will promise her life to the church to fulfill a family tradition. ****rest of review in comments****

Up at my future in-law‘s place in New Hampshire for the three day weekend! Relaxing with this arc from #netgalley out by the fire pit after a long day of Home Depot sales, craft fairs, and yard work 🔥

#NextUp #NetGalley #ARC possible June #BOTM
Lots of good buzz
