Welcome to Litsy!

I love Wilson‘s dysfunctional family stories. This one has newly discovered siblings on a cross country road trip trying to track down their absent father. It‘s amusing and odd and just what I‘ve come to expect and appreciate about Wilson‘s characters. Loved the audiobook.

I enjoy Kevin Wilson. He does such a good job with quirky characters. While this one doesn‘t replace Nothing to See Here as my favorite, I liked it a lot. In this one, a set of half-siblings who don‘t know each other go on a road trip to find their father. It was especially interesting to see how the dad changed in every family and how that influenced who the kids became.

This one was so good! It may be one of my favorites of the year! Its about siblings that didn‘t know each other existed and they all embark on a road trip to find and confront their dad. The wit and humor was perfect. It was an easy read but still had a lot of heart.

Started this one on my lunch break. I can already tell that I‘m going to like it!

I‘m afraid this one is headed back to the library unread. A road trip novel isn‘t appealing this soon after reading the ultimate feel good road trip book, The Road to Tender Hearts. Maybe I‘ll pick it up later and give it a fair chance.

Run for the Hills, by Kevin Wilson (2025)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: Very different people become an unlikely family discover they share the same father and embark on a cross-country road trip to find him and ask why he abandoned them all to forge very different lives for himself.

Review: Wilson is the king of profound but off-kilter fiction, and this is no exception. Cont.

I‘ve been using Libro.fm solely for this year and partially for a few more, and I‘ve hit a point of having the same number of finished and unfinished books. 😁🎉 Still not anywhere close to the 900+ I own on Audible, but I love supporting my local bookstore.

I‘m really enjoying Run for the Hills! Fun fact: Marin Ireland narrates both it and My Friends. I like her as a narrator. She‘s one that will swing me to the audio side.

I listened to this one while down with a particular bad cold. The cold happened to go perfectly with this fever dream of a novel where lived trauma becomes literal horror. Thanks #netgalley for access to this audiobook.

🌹In our home we got a morning newspaper and an evening newspaper. That meant me begging someone to read the comics to me x2/day!! Also loved any book about kittens or pups.
