Welcome to Litsy!

Rarely do nonfiction books make me feel something, but this did. Really captivating writing and stories.

My kid picked this out at the library, loved it, #recommended that I read it too. So cute! The story of a monster who is “weird” so he lives underground away from people. But then people each out and we have a happy ending with a great positive message. #bbrc #middlegrade also 1pt for #teamslaughter for #scarathlon

I loved it. I have found that I really enjoy a good drama, even better with multiple generations. There is so much depth here and I think it would make an excellent book club book. I can't say much without some spoilers but this book does an excellent job of exploring the effects of trauma over several generations. Is history destined to repeat itself? Are we doomed by our genes or is there a way to overcome? #recommended 🌟

An emotionally devastating story and one that needed to be told.

Tainted love and devastation. This thriller follows Nick's twisting journey as he searches for his wife and through her mind. This story explores the extent of revenge and manipulation by a brilliant writer in a brilliant novel.

This book starts with a pregnancy test and has a lot of twists and turns before a very satisfying end! It follows a daughter in a Duggar-like religious family and reminded me why I stopped watching that family years ago. It also made me question watching any kids that grow up on TV (Teen Mom, The Little Couple, all of TLC, etc.) I enjoyed the multiple perspectives. #Recommended 4.5⭐️

Patricia Highsmith is a master of characterisation and plot.

????? I got this as an audiobook and I'm very glad I did bc it was a full cast. This book, oh this book. It was a true love story and a perfect example of "three sides to every story: mine, yours, and the truth." I simply LOVED THIS BOOK. #recommended

For the first time in forever I don't have any interpreting assignments and no translation deadlines looming, so this is the only thing I'll be doing today. Maybe with some ice cream thrown in later 😌 #reread #recommended

Some things I've been reading lately that were really fantastic. Highly recommend.
