Welcome to Litsy!

#WeeklyForecast 26/22

After a month of way too much alcohol and junk food my sister and I started an 11 day detox. So far that mostly leads to a headache all day so I won‘t have too high ambitions about finishing books this week.
I started and am loving the Strout. The tagged book I bought for #CampToB (of which I hear or read nothing by the way, isn‘t that weird?) because it is so out of my normal reading. Not sure what I‘ll make of it!

I had to hibernate Hood for now. It‘s very good but just too sad for this moment in time.

So I moved on to Legends & Lattes, light frothy delicious fantasy. I‘m just 2 chapters in and it‘s lovely.
This Time Tomorrow is for #CampToB, audio from my library since it‘s not a book I would have chosen to read otherwise. I am liking it so far though.

My up next are flexible, but possibilities for the week.

Another great #CampLitsy #CampToB book!

I learned so much about Deaf culture. I thought the story was great and the contrasting characters helped readers see things from multiple angles.

Looking forward to tomorrow‘s discussion.

I‘m hoping to finish News of the World today- it‘s So Good! I‘ll probably watch the movie sometime in the next week too.
True Biz 2nd half for #campTOB is next up. I‘m enjoying Hood too. I still haven‘t decided whether to bail on The Idiot, which means I probably will.

I‘ve got several audiobooks downloaded, we‘ll see what I‘m in the mood for on my way to work in the morning.

Happy Reading friends!

*sobbed into the sand finishing this book*
Absolutely loved this time travel novel which I read (early) for #CampToB — so far a favorite of the year. Totally unexpected because time travel usually doesn‘t work for me, nor does sappy which I assumed it was. A delight from start to finish and one I‘ll be recommending to many…a love letter to NYC, teen angst, scifi, & dads. The parent-child relationship hit me HARD, both as a child and as a parent.

Alice‘s father is dying and most often unable to speak to her, so when she finds herself in her 16-year-old body (which in itself is a fun moment) and able to see him again when he was younger and vital, she wants to hang on to as much of him as she can. The time travel elements work and there are a few awesome lines, but overall this is a tad more sentimental than what I would typically want. A low pick for me. #campTOB #campLitsy

SUPER SALE ALERT for U.S. #CampLitsy #CampTOB folks!

Either/Or follows Selin from The Idiot into her sophomore year at Harvard. She‘s now trying to understand the events of the past summer, move forward with a designed sexual awakening (there is nothing funnier than her intellectualizing her first sexual experience while it‘s happening), and continue her own march forward. I really enjoyed this one and look forward to discussing it in #CampTOB.

Looking forward to this. I loved The Idiot. #campLitsy #campTOB

Bought another hanging flower 🌸 basket. These purple flowers are truly astonishing.

Bingo! This square at R3C3 completes C3 as my possibly only May2022 #BookSpinBingo. I loved this linked collection of short stories and it readies me for week 1 of #CampTOB discussions.
