Having a lazy Sunday with my nose in a book, tunes on the radio and a big cup of tea. Only 50 pages in and I am already invested. It is my first Jodi Picoult book and the style is very easy to pick up, looking forward to the nitty gritty of this book

3.5 ⭐️ This is a slow burn mystery that flits between 1972 and 1992 as a writer tries to unravel the disappearance of three lighthouse keepers. 1972 is the voice of the men and life on the tower. 1992 is the voice of the women left behind and how they have coped with not knowing what happened to their husbands. Despite being slow Stonex drops tidbits that keep you hooked and turning to the next page. Found myself saying "But what happened??!!??"

An interesting concept that falls short of it's full potential. Emily is an interesting character who doesn't quite fully materialise on the page whilst other characters flit through the story as mere vessels for Emily. Wheaton makes the Sci-fi writer mistake of getting too smart in places meaning I lost interest and the story never quite recovers.

This has been on my TBR pile for a while, I wanted a quick, gripping read...this didn't disappoint. I was frustrated, anxious, confused, angry as Korede's emotions jump off every page as she deals with her little sister Ayoola and her murderous ways. How far would you go to protect a family member?

A coming-of-age fantasy set in Briton, 3 sisters battle with becoming who they truly are and embracing the old magic with the shadow of Saxon invasion looming ever closer. Beautifully written with battle scenes that bring to mind Helms Deep, with twists and heartbreaking turns as the sisters battle who they truly are and their fidelity to each other, their people, the land, their hearts and what they are to become.

Saw Part I and II yesterday and it was AMAZING 🤩 The special effects were stunning and I don't even want to know how it was all done. If you get a chance to see this, do it! I actually can't put into words just how good it was...the moving stair cases, the magic, the Dementors...the cast were outstanding 👏👏👏

This story is wonderfully crafted. The focus is on the characters, their thoughts, their desires & the fates that await them. You are not lost in descriptions but in the turmoil of the characters lives. About half way through I did wonder if I'd see the book through, then suddenly I was hooked. It has been a long time since a book made me cry but this tale did just that, a mother's love is the strongest thing in all of the Nine Realms.

Fans of Circe & The Silence of The Girls will become fans of Jennifer Saint's Ariadne. A heartbreaking tale of two sisters living in a world ruled by men. Saint has kept the Greek story of Theseus & the minotaur as a thread but has weaved a great tapestry of all the other characters around it leaving his thread dull in comparison to Ariadne.

Perfect book to bring to a well needed spa day. Really good retelling of the story of Ariadne, shaping up to be a good read

This is the story of soon to be art student Susan who finds herself whisked into a world of magic, ancient beings and booksellers. The story and action starts instantly and doesn't stop for a beat. I loved the characters and there is something special about Merlin. I really hope there will be a second book and maybe a few more. For me it was a wonderful return to the brilliant imagination of Garth Nix.

This books starts! No waiting around straight into the story and action...love it. Forgot what a great writer Garth Nix is with his humour and wit on every page.

This is a binge-read book, there is so much happening & many thrilling action chapters that I devoured the last two parts. The first part was a little slow as there is lots of back & forth as to why Mia is a slave training to be a gladiatii. But once the scene is set, you are whisked off on a blood drenched, gore dripping story as Mia steps ever closer to her goal of ending Scaeva & Duomo. Love alt book covers & fan art, need more for this series

Such a lovely book with lots of reminders to stop, pause, take what time you need & drink lots of tea. Perfect book to have to hand when you are feeling a little lost & need some help reflecting whilst looking at the beautiful illustrations

A brilliant, sinister tale of what happens when witch craft and religious fanaticism meet. I was hooked by the story and it had pace that kept you reading. It is dark, gory and a little horror but that made it a good read.

A huge thank you to all the wonderful Littens who have sent me letters recently.

My friend has written a book about grief after losing both his parents to covid in 2020. I remember the time vividly as being unable to support your friend whilst he went through the most tragic, traumatic event of his life was so difficult. Gavin has written a practical & honest account of coping & moving forward through traumatic grief. Gavin has written an honest & insightful story of his personal journey through a tragic bereavement.

First morning commute in a while but I get to get stuck into this thrilling horror or so the cover says. Happy Hump Day Littens. Have a great day 😀

TRIGGER WARNING: This book is about Child Abuse.
This is a powerful story. Some have said it feels jumbled & confused but when read through a survivor's eyes then the story makes sense. Girl A is one of the children who survives the tabloid named House of Horrors. This is her chance to make sense of what happened to her and her siblings at the hands of her zealous father & mother. It is a difficult read, sometimes sickening & always deeply sad.

A nurse who thinks her life is servitude in the hospital is whisked off her feet by a young surgeon. As married life begins, he is not the devoted husband he seemed. Set in 1888 with Jack the Ripper at large, Susannah's mind starts to run away with her. Whitfield has created a great novel with lots of twists and turns. Written with pace that keeps you turning the page

A interesting look into the beginning of investigative journalism and the findings of the journalists who named Jack The Ripper. With Victorian politics and policing battling each other we'll never know the true identity of The Ripper. With compelling evidence presented I am left with little doubt that Thomas Cutbush was Jack The Ripper, I would find him guilty if I was a juror.

Current read....might struggle with the descriptions of the Ripper victims after Rubenhold shone a light on the truth about the women's lives. This book was published before so put it in the box Jane and read on 🤣

The Mercies is a tale of women and survival. The zealousness of the men in this book as they seek to bring order under new witch laws to an island of bereaved women & the women that fall into line under the banner of Christian righteousness makes you feel the fear & anger of Maren even more. This book is not only a powerful story of female companionship but also an insight into the 17th Century witch hunts that gripped Europe & North America.

Thinking of all the Littens bracing themselves for Hurricane Ida. Hope those in the path have found a safe place to go. Stay safe and sending positive vibes 🙏💕💌

Went for a walk and the sky was split in two by the lovely British Summer Weather. Sunny, scattered cloud skies to the East and Thunder storms and rain to the West. It was very blustery but the wind pushed me home and just in time

If you are looking for a beach read this will be perfect. Clarke sets the mood quickly as you feel Erin's desperation to find out what has happened to her sister, Lori. Regrets and secrets follow every character as the truth unravels. With hints of 'Lost' and 'Castaway' this is a quick read mystery.
