Welcome to Litsy!

Sounds about right 😝

Some of my #CurrentlyReading library books 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Dinner of fried shrimp, seasoned French fries, and lime Diet Coke, with a side of book 🤓

I've been reading Victoria Thompson for forever it seems as her long standing Gaslight Mystery series is a reliable good read with every book that comes out - all 22 of them. So I was surprised that I had missed her release of a brand new cozy series with a female grifter at its core. This first book is set during the Suffragist movement in D.C., and when a con goes awry, Elizabeth finds herself swept up in it. Great addition to the cozy world!

A grifter hides out among suffragists after a mark bent on revenge sets his goons on her. A lawyer bored with his job knows she‘s lying...and finds her intriguing anyway. Meanwhile, her new friend is curious about what lesbians are and she has to run the con of her life to save it...literally. Interesting start to a series, though there were a lot of coincidences and fortuitous events.

Picked this book up at my local bookstore on #independentbookstoreday ! There was a table of free books to choose from if you made a purchase. I was late, so the pickings were slim. Had not heard of the author but after looking at so many Litsy posts with similar covers, I thought I should try one too! #auburn #outlandishgiveaway

Sneaking in some reading at work on a slow day.

Fun start to a new series. Plucky heroine, romance and suffragists combine to make this a great read. Looking forward to the next one.
