Welcome to Litsy!

Something happens near the end of this book that I think is highly unbelievable; however, I still liked this story of second chances. I loved the characters and the parrots. Night #audiowalk today.

So close to being done w this book. It is so good. But it‘s a lot right now - it‘s a lot of “wait, is this supposed to be *speculative* fiction??” It‘s intense. And, look, I don‘t 💯 agree w the main character, but I do *know* her. She‘s pretty much my mom…. 😅

Also enjoying (tho struggling w focus) the 🧙🏼‍♀️ book.

And guys! 2 more Holiday swaps!! Wish I could do them all, but I have *done* them all and you should too!! 🎄🎁🤡❤️🖤

I‘ve got about 2 hours left in this book. Troy is a hateful one. It was quite chilly this morning. I even had to wear a jacket! #audiowalk

I'm pretty sure I've bought this from charity shops more than once, having loved (of course) Fingersmith and The Night Watch. This is an early one centred around the women in Millbank women's prison in the 19th century. Is one of the prisoners talking to the spirits?

A bit too miserable for a very wet week!

3.8 ⭐️ I may be a little biased as I work as a therapist in a prison, which led me to wanting to smack the crap out of the FMC 90% of the time. Otherwise, it was a good thriller. Had to second guess myself a lot of times, but I wasn‘t overly surprised by the end. OK, that‘s not completely true. There was one scene that when I found out about and I was like “well damn”. Overall, a fun read, and I will try this author again in the future.

Yes, I loved the new novel from the brilliant Wally Lamb.

I‘m going to try to be more present, but this school year is overwhelming. Not only do I teach 3 different subjects, but I have my two out of three kiddos that need help with homework this year. I‘m still reading, but having trouble doing much else. 🥹

No doubt about it, this is my favorite read so far in November and it will probably make my best of 2026 list. Really good but be warned, it is extremely sad.

4✨ This book was another really good one. There was a wow factor like I have been seeing from this author in other books, but I wasn‘t as blown away. I was suspicious of one character and then he ended up dead. I was treading lightly with the other characters wondering if they could be trusted. #DogsofLitsy “Tess”
