The Fugitive Pigeon | Donald E. Westlake

I planned to reread this before decluttering it, since I didn't remember it being a favorite and it's in ebook now. A little way in, my feelings don't seem to have changed. If anyone wants an old paperback, let me know. :-)

Mehso-so

This would have been much better as a movie or Netflix series. The premise was cute, the characters were lovable, and there were several laugh-out-loud scenes. But… the writing was just not good, and in some cases cringe-worthy. Some paragraphs were just fine. Others were filled with oddball metaphors, random details, and bizarre banter. It almost felt like there were two authors. 3⭐️

And that‘s a wrap on #ReadOrDonate for 2025!

julieclair @TheBookHippie Can‘t wait to hear what you have to say! 😘 15h
TheBookHippie @julieclair loathed Matt so it didn't work for me. I did like the descriptions of food! Some of it was 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 14h
julieclair @TheBookHippie Yeah, loathing Matt would be a problem. 🤪😂 I agree about the food descriptions, and there were even a couple of recipes at the back of the book - always a plus! 13h
TheBookHippie @julieclair yes I love it when they do that! 13h
JamieArc Funny you say that because they just made it into a Hallmark series. I‘m not sure how I feel about it… 13h

repost for @julieclair

It‘s time to do something about those overflowing book shelves! #ReadOrDonate is back for 2026. Each month, choose one (or more) books that you vow to read that month…. or else!

At the end of the month, if you have NOT read the book, it MUST leave your house!

If you HAVE read the book, you may choose whether to keep it or donate it.

Everyone welcome! Comment on original post to be added. 😃

julieclair Thanks for the repost! 1w

Delilah and Anthony shared a steamy kiss last Christmas, then things got suddenly frosty. This year, they‘re roped into the town‘s Christmas festivities, and they have no choice but to face the miscommunication that happened prior. A sweet romance with a bit of spice!

TheAromaofBooks Also, you have been on Litsy for a while - do you know where we should report this obnoxious spam commenter?? 3w
See All 9 Comments
OriginalCyn620 @thearomaofbooks the only thing I know is to flag the comment by holding down on it and choosing “flag” from the menu of options. Then you can describe why you‘re flagging it. Wonder if it‘s some kind of bot? 3w
TheAromaofBooks Oh nice, I didn't even realize you could flag comments that way! I don't know if it's a bot or what, but I have seen that exact comment on soooo many posts today - a lot of people are tagging me with their BookSpin lists/boards and it felt like half of them had this comment on it! Plus on my own post! 😂 3w
julieclair This looks cute! 3w
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks That spam is everywhere on Litsy today! I‘m going to start flagging it. 3w
TheAromaofBooks @julieclair - I suppose I should be grateful because I really don't see spam much on Litsy like I do other places. But it makes it all the more aggravating when it appears 😂 3w
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Litsy should be immune to spammers! 🤣 3w
