Welcome to Litsy!

“Listen” is a Dutch book that has won many literary prizes and I read as an audio. It‘s about a Dutch girl who becomes an au-pair in Paris in the early ‘90s. We also know it‘s a story about 2015, the year Paris was shook up by the Charlie Hebdo attack at the beginning of the year and suicide bombers in November. We know this but not what‘s the connection between them. An engaging read, I hope it will be translated!

An interesting novel which revolves around a Navajo family of photographers. Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer for Albuquerque police force. She has the “gift/curse” of seeing and talking with ghosts. Rita has had these visions and visits beginning when she was a child. Currently, Rita is being asked to help the ghosts who have been murdered by some corrupt police officers.

🤓📚Now to wait for my library hold🙄🙁.

The day to read the hexalogy series has arrived. I had to complete my set since I stopped at Library of Souls. Distracted by other books was more of a cause than lack of interest that paused the continuation of reading the Peculiar Children series. I have to finish The Girl Who Raced Fairyland All the Way Home. Then it‘s onto MGHfPC

A book with a #OneWordTitle from my TBR

The publishers blurb sounds intriguing:
“This blood-chilling debut set in New Mexico‘s Navajo Nation is equal parts gripping crime thriller, supernatural horror, and poignant portrayal of coming of age on the reservation.”

Very interesting story about an army captain sent to survey Alaska, and his wife who was unable to accompany him. Epistolary novels are hit and miss for me, but their letters to each other were poignant and memorable.

A former coworker took a job in Anchorage and sent me this picture from her commute.

A delightful coffee table book containing photos of silver screen legends looking at books. The captions make some effort to discern the true readers from obvious publicity staging. They actually put some effort into trying to determine the book as well, when the cover is obscured.
