Welcome to Litsy!

Purposefully slow & probably intentionally confusing. That just adds layers of complexity. #2019 #bookclub #noveldiscussions #catphotobomb

Fast read. Enjoyable. Similar to Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. #2019 #bookclub #noveldiscussions

Meh. Maybe if I hadn't read it was a spin on The Great Gatsby. It isn't. Not even close. #2018 #bookclub #noveldiscussions

A HOOT to read. If you like snark and can suspend your reality a little...worth a read! #2018 #bookclub #noveldiscussions

Ok read. #2018 #bookclub #noveldiscussions

Just started this. I am annoyed by two things: microchapters & the rough edge of the book. I have a personal dislike of books with unfinished edges. The microchapters make me feel like I am watching a tennis match on 1.5x speed. #2018 #bookclub #noveldiscussions

Good read. Not super suspenseful; but compelling and worrisome. #2018 #bookclub #noveldiscussions

If all war novels could be this good, I would read more of them! A multi-voiced, multi-faceted story about one British village at the beginning of WWII. I'm impressed by how well Ryan was able to weave all the parts into one tight whole. #2018 #bookclub #noveldiscussions

Slow paced. Atmospheric. Almost desultory. The slightly made-for-movie wrap up and the unsatisfying end make me stick to three stars. A good; but not great read. #bookclub #noveldiscussions #2018

Not my preferred style of writing; in fact I struggled to stay engaged with the story because of the epistolary style. However, my perseverance was well rewarded. Rivers writes a story that is sad, confusing, and offers little happiness; but that is to be expected considering the setting. #bookclub #noveldiscussions #2018
