Welcome to Litsy!

I had heard how scary this book was and everyone was right! Did it keep me up at night, or make me sleep with the lights on? No. Did some parts actually give me the willies? Definitely! It‘s amazing how visceral some of the scariest parts felt. I‘m so excited to read the follow up book!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫

This was the longest tall tale I've ever read. On the plus side was the descriptive writing. On the negative side were the unlikeable characters and the story that kept getting more and more absurd (especially the fishing and movie scenes). I really enjoyed October Sky and I know humorous writing is challenging to pull off, but this wasn't my cup of tea.

That was pretty good. Just picked up another of her books, Lark & Termite, at a used book sale today, so hopefully, it's as decent a read as this.

This was a strange book with a unique pay off.

#Falling Sept 1 Wildlife. Day late.
This male caribou hung out by our house for two evenings last week. I‘m always amazed at how caribou can lift their heads with those racks. 😮😳

I think I liked this. Not too certain. It was weird and
unnerving but I think that was the point.

Well. That was strange. I just finished up The Bog Wife and I‘m going to have to wrap my head around this story before I review it. I don‘t know if I loved it or hated it, but I do know I‘m terribly unsettled. 😂😂😂

Dark, disturbing, graphic at times. A family in rural Appalachia lives a different kind of life. A life hunting, but not animals. Once a beautiful girl working at the record store enters Micheal‘s life, he has no idea just how much she will change the trajectory of his life. Some reviewers said they saw the twist coming, I didn‘t and thought it was well played out. I will definitely check out more from this author.
