Welcome to Litsy!

So this seemed timely, and I thought it was fascinating. I've read that the details are accurate as to what happens in a conclave, and the author includes a bibliography at the end. I enjoyed the insiders' view, and the plot twists and turns kept me guessing. I'll have to watch the movie next!

3.75. A page-turner.

I watched the adaptation of Harris novel about a month ago. Talk about timely. Yeesh!

I‘m sure this is a perfectly good story. It had potential, but I couldn‘t get past the 1st 2 hours of brutality when listening to

Just back from a road trip with some bush walking, bookshop browsing and great food and coffee at country cafe‘s. It‘s been extremely wet in northern NSW and rivers are flooded and paddocks are green.
My recent reads include Rapture, Dusk and Time of the Child. I‘m really enjoying Conclave which takes you behind the scenes at the Vatican to elect a new Pope. The movie was excellent also.
PS this is the wonderfully quirky Ulmurra bookshop!!

I was a solid meh until that ending. Now I‘m going to have to watch the movie, too.

This was my #readordonate from #mounttbr . Overall it was engaging, if not totally submersive. I enjoyed The Romanov Prophecy much more. I liked the idea of of there being more to Marian apparitions but intertwining it with Medujorce and what the big reveal was fell really flat for me. Too easy. 3.5/5

The higher a circus monkey climbed a pole, the more his ass showed 😆I really like that.

I had higher hopes. Interesting beginning, but I found the middle to drag. But that ENDING! Worth it for the end alone, which totally took me by surprise. Now I want to watch the movie.
