Welcome to Litsy!

A true Saunders book. It's uncomfortable, it makes us feel uneasy and the characters are mostly unlikable. But it's exactly that what makes those stories outstanding. They challenge us, make us see how we really are. We all have to face our own demons and fears, Saunders simply forms them into stories. We are just thrown into the world of the characters, we take a glimpse at their lives, and then we're gone again. Thinking about our own realities.

I‘ve had All The Birds In The Sky sitting on my bookshelf for years, waiting to be read - but of course this ends up being my first CJA. A delightful short read, follows Marisol, who survived the apocalypse accidentally (she was cleaning a rich guys house at the time and found the panic room) as she ventures outside after many years to find herself all alone… in a devastated world with a genie lamp. Her approach to setting things right is unique.

Favorites were Dalyrimple Goes Wrong and Bernice Bobs her Hair. I‘d like to finish all the FSF books that I haven‘t read yet, this year.

Words can‘t express how happy I am for a “surprise” extra day off! 😂😂😂

"Washington Square" invece mi ha fatto passare la voglia di finire il libro.
I didn't mind the first short novel contained in the book, "The Turn of the Screw", but in this case too [...]

My husband has a conference so I decided to host a readathon! I'm hoping to get through at least 2 books. 💐📚

I‘ve never been a huge fan of Melville‘s work BUT I‘ve never read any of his short stories which are supposed to be excellent. So, here goes. Let‘s see if these change my opinion…

Soft pick
This was a short story about a young girl and her lover. The first half of the story was so so but the second half was very interesting. I was also not expecting the ending.
