Welcome to Litsy!

I finished the H audiobook this week - last book of 2022. I‘m burning through the Sue Grafton mysteries and loving them. 2022 was good for reading - I exceeded my goal!

Another great Kinsey book! I need to get my hands on “I“.

This one wasn‘t my favorite. I wasn‘t invested in the story line. Hoping the next one is great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A good re-read. Events at the beginning of the book aren‘t developed as much as the reader is initially led to think. The hapless murder victim at the beginning (and on the cover) only hints at more serious things to come. H is for Hostage would probably have been a better title.

This hardcover edition was the beginning of my parents‘ tradition gifting me with the latest Grafton as it came out so that I wouldn‘t wait until the PB edition.

Back to my re-read project of Grafton‘s series! Need an easy read right now.

Enjoyed this more than the last couple of letters - I loved Kinsey undercover! The titular homicide wasn‘t very prominent though. H is for Hostage may have been a better title?

In this installment, Kinsey goes undercover to investigate fraudulent insurance claims. She befriends the woman she‘s investigating to get deeper into the crime ring. The story flowed well for me, but the ending seemed pretty rushed and the epilogue abrupt.

This book has seen better days but i will repurpose it making origami flowers. Back to the review...loved this book! This time Kinsey goes undercover and is basically in constant danger during the entire book. Was surprised at the ending. Love this series!
4 stars

What do I do when I can't sleep? Read, of course! Not surprisingly, I finished this in a day.

My holiday reading continues! I realize I just posted about Full Disclosure but I know I'll get through this one fast :) Not pictured: the "reading socks" my cousin gave me for Christmas.

Grafton really crapped this one out. I love Kinsey but not enough to stick around to see how an insurance scam ring pans out. I don't see how the homicide in the title could even be connected and she basically allowed herself to be abducted to see what the ring is all about for Dolan. I'll skip to the next book but this was a wash for me.

Anyone else remember Crown Books? I remember spending hours in there choosing Nancy Drew books. ❤

My hold came in. 😁

My first Grafton and it was an alright case and an alright investigator. I don‘t think I‘ll continue with this series.

Meh. I couldn‘t get into this one as much as the others. The main story focused on insurance fraud, which was kind of a yawn. It was filled with very unlikeable characters, and they appalled/annoyed me in equal doses. ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 #atoyreread

1. 🚘😴🚘😴📖🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😔😫📖🎤
2. If OitNB has taught me anything, it‘s that I don‘t think I‘d fare well in prison. 😂
3. Under. You‘ve seen that spider meme, right? Not risking it.
4. Yes. I was my sister‘s maid of honor.
5. ❤️ I‘m drawing a blank, as it is 6am.

1. My Kobo case
2. Vanilla.
3. I never take off my wedding/engagement rings.
4. Ugh. Yes. A god-awful polyester polo that resembles a 70‘s bowling team uniform (not even kidding🙄) because as of last year, it‘s company policy.
5. Yes.

My kindle died on me mid-trip, so now this old copy of H is for Homicide has become my first Sue Grafton. The story is delightfully retro (typewriters! Pay phones! 80s hair cuts!) but has also completely drawn me in - I can‘t put this one down. Any fan of classic police procedural sand cozy mystery series will seriously like this book - and the best news is, there are 24 more book by this author!

I also don't own a lot of books with #BrownCovers #VoicesOnTheWind

I'm tired of Kinsey's internalised misogyny and how ALL of the bad guys in this are POC.
#24in48 progress and #LitsyAtoZ progress too

This is how I'll be tracking my hours now. I did a screen shot just before the crash, so I just did the maths. As I read it will count down to 0 but I will be posting my % progress on goodreads.com/ellanarosetw at the end of each chapter to prove I'm reading. I really do need a new phone. So basically this is how long until the 24hrs are done.

Tea break! Making good progress with #24in48 and #LitsyAtoZ too so rewarding myself with Twinings green tea.
EDIT My phone has just epically crashed so I'm now doing a countdown; it deleted the progress on the timer so this is my only option. Yes there were profanities, and I need a new phone

I've just woke up but currently still in bed. This is my starting time for my next book, Book H for #LitsyAtoZ and my second book for #24in48. I've had less than five hours sleep so I'll have to nap later. In other news I was at 1,800 ish #Litfluence and now I'm at 2,000+!! Right I better crawl out of bed I guess.

First page!

I liked it but it felt like it ended abruptly.
