Welcome to Litsy!

This is another story that I wanted to love, but was mostly just ok about. For more than half the book I struggled to tell Ned and Julian apart. I literally could not keep who was who straight in my head.

Again, it was disappointing because I thought the mystery was pretty good, and I appreciated that the boinking was closed door. But I got thrown out so many times trying to remember which was the magician and which was the detective.

1. No one favorite tradition but I do really enjoy the whole family being home and spending time together.

2. Looking forward to the tagged book. I love everything Pulley writes and I‘m expecting this one to be another great book. 🤞

I enjoyed these delightfully weird short stories. The first three are longer and I loved two of them. The last half of the book is made up of 100 very short stories of different “apocalypses.” Appropriate reading for these times. It was dry, funny and absurd. Thanks to #TenBeforeTheEnd for motivating me to read this as it had been on my shelf for awhile. This was Book 7 for me.

I was tickled today to see the MacDonald‘s that‘s mentioned in the tagged novel. #literarytourism

I am so glad I picked this up! It reminds me a bit of In The Time of Butterflies but sapphic.

A group of 5 Uruguayan lesbian women buy a tiny cottage on the beach and we follow them for the next 40 years as they fall in and out of love and as the country changes - politically and culturally.

A country I do not see many books set in this was a lovely read.

Finished after a slight delay in comfort reading due to a wicked cold, BUT not less good because of it! A satisfyingly complex plot, lots of action, intrigue, and just a smack of romance, all wrapped up in pleasing world building with forbidden magic and a stewing rebellion. Was a v good read and I‘ll definitely pick up the next book.
