Welcome to Litsy!

My friend got a scorpion, who she named Stewart. I thought I‘d share. 🦂

What a crazy reading month it‘s been! I only have three prompts left to finish for #ReadYourSign, and then I‘ve completed all fifteen prompts for both Scorpio and Leo. I have 🦂6 - for which I‘m currently reading Genuine Lies (hibiscus on the cover) 🦁3, and 🦁7.

Unsurprisingly, prompts 1 and 15 have come up multiple times during this months reading. @Meaw_catlady

I didn't know this was a sequel but it can certainly be read on its own. It's an enjoyable, quick read. I particularly enjoyed the bookish/publishing details and the humor. (Those delicious looking treats behind the book? They're soap!).

This one was a quick read, nice to bridge the gap between books. Fairly developed characters, but lackluster in story.

Fun mystery.

While the title did not appeal, the cover sure did!

#TBRtemptation post! This is the 2nd installment in the Sam Clair British #cozymystery series. Book editor Samantha Clair is off to lunch with Aidan, old friend & art dealer. But his business partner is found dead in their gallery with a gun in hand. Sam's bf, Jake, heads the police investigation. And Aidan, Sam's ex-bf, wants her help. With loyalties stretched thin, she uses satire & cynicism to find the killer. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Contemporary, light, British mystery with a klutzy and likable book editor as a sleuth. Reminiscent of Bridget Jones but more functional and clever. 2nd in the series. Charlie, the cat, likes it.

What are the little images sometimes found at the start of chapters called? I love the ones in A Bed of Scorpions by Judith Flanders.

"It was in another country, and besides, the wench is dead." Loving the literary references in this book..

Our entire household has been hit by seasonal plague, so taking a break from regularly scheduled reading for this (so far) highly satisfying mystery set in the London publishing world. Witty, dry and fascinating in its details about the publishing milieu.
