Bitter Orange | Claire Fuller
post image
Pickpick

Not a bitter orange but grapefruit sold by local FFA kids. I look forward to it every winter and citrus makes me think of Christmas time. The book has 3 characters dealing with self doubt and inner fantasy life. They are all very well described. And I felt like I was living at Lyntons with them for a little while. Maybe not such a good place to be.🙀

Chelsea.Poole My mom gets me a box of grapefruit every year from our local FFA as well! I‘m with you, reminds me of Christmas time 🎄 🍊 2y
TheSpineView Love the oranges and grapefruit this time of year! 2y

This one kept me guessing. I haven‘t read anything else by this author and would give her a few 🌟 for this one. Another find through my overdrive. Can‘t resist the suggestions lately from them. #AVerryMerryReadathon. #Adventathon. #wintercosy.

A few pre-Christmas cookies . Baking while listening to “American Nightmare” podcast. I like filling in with podcasts when I don‘t feel like listening to a book. #wintercosy. #AVeryMerryReadathon. And #adventathon. I messed up the # yesterday. I‘m terrible at social media. @TheSpineView @PuddleJumper @ozma.of.oz

I keep picking this one up and putting it down. It‘s really good and pulls me into their cozy world but keep getting teased away by thrillers overdrive keeps suggesting to me.
My first post on readathons . Not sure what points are!

1. Hanging out with Jo and the sisters would be a fun way to quarantine. Dressing up, reading, playing music in that place and time.
2. Taking walks even on these cold days. Listening to a book podcast, or music or just thinking.
3 Under the Tuscan Sun was a good escape. Read that one a few years ago.

BookmarkTavern Hanging out with the March sisters would be very entertaining! Thank you for sharing! 2y

This thanksgiving weekend perfect for reading, eating, and not moving much. I love the scenes in the snow storm. The story is ok. There are some parts that don‘t make sense, but I kept going til the end to find out who dunnit. Abrupt ending!🥶

As crazy as Joe is, he loves being crazy. And it‘s a tense, scary, funny? story. On to the Netflix series. Probably not as good as the book. Give this one 4 💔💔💔💔.

Multiple takeovers, changes in ownership and money making schemes are bad news for glass manufacturing workers at Anchor Hocking glass in Lancaster, Ohio. And bad for Lancaster. The loss of good paying jobs is compared by the author to the increase in drug use and hopelessness.

Catching up on rating some recent reads. Didn‘t want this one to end. And it ended the way I was afraid it would. Klara is a memorable character in many ways.🤖

Just read this one, and Klara and the Sun. Both are 5 star. Love the delicate placement of each word. Will seek out and read all of this author!🥰

I found this one through my overdrive/ kindle. Meant to be suspenseful, a thriller? I got where the author was trying to go but.. problematic main character, she comes off as immature. Lots of lackluster reveals. I was annoyed by writing and style but did finish it. Barely.

These two books both take different paths for a large choice in life. Should we stay is done well and pretty funny. I‘m worn out by Rose Napolitano by the end of her life story.

Yeaaa it feels like I walked into spring after work today!!! This book was all over the place, but there are a few moments of encouragement to cherish the little things.

BarbaraBB I loved this book although I can‘t remember now what it was about, it was that long ago. 6y
Allkat I like his writing but this story is so scattered. He does tie it together at the end. I think I read part of it a long time ago. Didn‘t finish it. Now I know why. Sigh... 😑@BarbaraBB 6y

I like the girl Little Bee and love this cover, but was irritated by the character of Sara. Couldn‘t get past her and shallow romance. 😟

Just realized I can‘t take a picture of “my one device” with my one device. Hmmm. This book about the invention and production of the iPhone is written with humor and touches on the changes in the world that came with it. A picture of Ethel instead😺

Many litsy comments about the story Haunting of Hill House made me run to the library and check out this one. It also has her short stories.

FantasyChick Has always been one of my favorites! 6y
Allkat @FantasyChick . Funny my daughter came home from school saw me reading this, said her class had just read the lottery . A coincidence. Really liked - we have always lived in the castle. 6y

Just finished this one to get to the end!...I wish there was a rating between "pick" and " so so". There's a lot to like! I like weird characters and murder and teenage discomfort. But ending ?. Ethel agrees.?. #catsoflitsy

bookloo My boyfriend and I had so much fun reading this! The ending for us was a bit of a let down, but it was a thrilling ride. So I totally get needing a between “pick” and “so so”! ☺️ 6y
Allkat I probably shouldn't have read Gone Girl first. Loved the story the writing characters plot. Everything! So I think Dark Places was a let down... I wish my husband was a reader. Nice that you and your guy can share these cool books.👍. @bookloo 6y

A quick afternoon read. Creeping myself out reading about weird feelings, doors slamming in the middle of the night, and actual ghost sightings in old houses on Nantucket. Peter Benchley was reported to have a ghost experience and one thing leads to another have been looking stuff up about Jaws. Nothing to do with pumpkins but it's fall!😎

A new book about a disturbed mind for the end of a season. Enjoying the last of the tomatoes and basil tonight. Litsy does not have a cover for this book. So here it is.

Allkat I have not read this book yet! But litsy made me rate it... so hoping it lives up to the rating I gave it.👍 7y
