Welcome to Litsy!

Finally, finally, finally getting to this series.
I promised myself I would not start a new one until I finished one of the 32 other series I am currently reading.
Fail! But this was worth it. A great first book. Love Sebastian! Love the Regency Britain historical setting! Appreciate a Magistrate (police officer) that is neither a buffoon nor an antagonistic pain in the …. Lots of great characters! Looking forward to more. #serieslove2023

Mysteries, especially historical ones! The tagged is the first in probably my favorite book series ever. A historical mystery series that follows Sebastian St Cyr, Lord Devlin as he solves murders in Regency London. Sebastian and his eventual wife (enemies to lovers trope!) are one of my favorite literary couples of all time.

Where are you at in this series? Need to know!

C.S. Harris's favorite words: reticule, phaeton, pelisse, transept.

35% in, and I'm not feeling it. Bailing in favor of titles that are due back soon and that interest me more. If Tom were the main character, maybe I'd stick with it.

I taught until late this evening (well, 8:30, which is late for me, especially after a full day already), and now I'm feeling as exhausted as Silo and unwinding with the tagged audiobook.

1. ☑️
2. I haven't read much this month, but I guess my favorite was Appointment with Death by Agatha Christie.
3. Favorites are hard! I'll go with Picos de Europa national park in Spain, Prince Edward Island National Park in Canada, and Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. I apparently really like national parks.

Enjoyable murder mystery. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Get ready for a bunch of reviews today! I haven‘t had time to post my reviews this week.

This is a historical mystery that has been on my TBR forever! It was much darker and a lot more gruesome than I thought it was going to be. Sebastian is accused of killing an actress in a church so he obviously needs to hide from the police and find the killer himself.

I didn‘t think this one was the best and won‘t continue this series.

#BookReport - Finished 6 audiobooks and 1 print book this week. I‘ve needed something comforting so I‘m relistening to Harry Potter

#CurrentlyReading - Midnight Riot on audio and the other 2 in print

#WeeklyForecast - my hold came in at the lib for Marion Lane so I‘m start that after Midnight Riot and go from there

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 231 #bookstoread #tbrpile #bookstagram

C. S. Harris posted this on Twitter. Her first book in the series is only $1.99 in ebook. This series has been on my to-read list for quite awhile. I have this first one in paperback.

Day 13 - #Fear #ForeverNovember
#WhatAngelsFear #CSHarris

This is the first book in another one of my favorite series.

I loved this regency mystery! In 1811 London, a viscount gets caught up in a grisly murder and sets out to solve it in order to clear his own name. There's a lot of action and political intrigue and his former love is involved too. I liked Sebastian St. Cyr and the other characters (especially his young helper, Tom!). Always love Davina Porter's narration. Will definitely continue this series.

1. Wrongfully accused viscount turns detective.

2. Lip balm. Dry lips are the worst!

3. I'd like to visit a lot of years! But today I'm feeling 1981. Would like to see the world I was born into and spy on my parents as a young couple expecting their first baby. 😄

Thanks for the tags @MoonWitch94 and @Laughterhp !

This is an excellent historical mystery series. I have read 6 books so far.

Day 12 - #CharismaticCharacter #AuldLangReads

I have a definite Book Crush on Sebastian St. Cyr. He can come and take me away any day!

Thank you so much @mreads for everything! I love the bag, but more than anything I'm obsessed with that book cover. I've shown it to everyone I've seen since this morning. ♥️♥️ @LibrarianRyan

I was immediately sucked into this series. I love a good mystery. Throw the historical aspect into a mystery, and I am hooked.

#bookmail
J. R. Ward's newest out today.
And C. S. Harris's start to her Sebastian St. Cyr mystery series.

I am forever starting book series that I have no interest in continuing, so I am excited to have enjoyed book one of this Sebastian St. Cyr series so much. While I think author C.S. Harris could do a slightly better job of establishing place and time (early 19th Century London), I appreciated that she includes the trauma faced by St. Cyr due to the time he spent fighting in the Napoleonic Wars. I‘m looking forward to book two.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a fun historical mystery series! First book available in Kindle version from Amazon today.

Thanks to @Andrew65

Finally finished this, after postponing for some buddy reads. Very enjoyable Georgian mystery. Nice introduction to the series, and though I'll have to take a break to catch up on some other books, I will continue the series. #catsoflitsy

My reading buddies and I are checking out this historical mystery from 2005. As I was selecting new materials for my library, I came across the newest book in this series and wanted to read it, but when I realized it was a series, I decided to start with the first. In this one, Sebastian, Viscount Devlin, is thought to have murdered a young woman. Trying to clear his name, he begins to investigate the case. It is set in late Georgian London, 1811.

You know that one author you'll always buy no matter what? C.S. Harris is that one for me, especially this series. I've been wanting to complete my collection of this series, I'm miss g the first 4 volumes. And even though I have all the others in hardcover, I couldn't not get the first book just because it's paperback. When the thrift store offers up a find you take it! #bookhaul #mystery #historicalfiction

The second series I‘m reading from the beginning; I deeply enjoy this series. For those who like historical mysteries with an edge, Sebastian St. Cyr (Viscount Devlin) will not disappoint. ❤️

Well-written, action-packed, historical mystery series set in 1811 Regency England. Fascinating characters especially Sebastian, Kat Boleyn and Tom. Lots of clues and suspects. Since it was pre-scientific methods, I missed the forensics of the modern day mystery novels. I found the book to be a page-turner. Also read book 2. Both were 5 star reads. I would highly recommend this series to lovers of historical mysteries with a bit of romance.

TFW the guys delivering your new washing machine manage to break it before it even gets off the van but you've been up since 6.30 on a Sunday waiting for them to arrive. This calls for a bucket of tea and a regency mystery with a brooding suspect/detective 😖

Loved this so much that I bought this and the following two and returned the first book to the library. I love Sebastian. Not in a “book boyfriend” kind of way but in a “let‘s get a drink and shoot the shit” kind of way. I can‘t wait to get to know him more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/10.

This Regency-era murder mystery (What Angels Fear) was a recommendation from one of my classmates. So, I thought I'd listen to my audiobook while working on my Jane Austen jigsaw puzzle and snacking on some yummy M&M minis. 😋 Oh, and do you see two fur babies in the background? 😹😹 #audiopuzzling #withcats

What a fantastic start to a series! The mystery is absorbing and had enough twists that I didn't predict who dunnit till the very end. The hero is a brooding yet noble man who worked for military intelligence in the war against Napoleon. The side-kick is a cheeky street urchin. Duels! Flights over rooftops! An old love! What's not to like?

Look what I'm reading, @robinb ! #blameitonlitsy

A day late in the #ReindeerReads challenge! I don't read much #historicalfiction, but I really enjoy this series!

This book is set in 1811 England, and figures a lead character who is accused of murder and goes on the run to prove his innocence. It is set against the beginning of the Regency period (when the future George IV is made Regent, because his father George III is declared mad) which leads to a backdrop of political machinations. This really is an excellent read and I look forward to continuing the series.

Thought I'd go with the #puzzle from my current book, this book is quite puzzling and I am still trying to puzzle out who the murderer is. I am reading the last part today so everything should be revealed. I do like a good murder mystery, it keeps the grey cells active. #quotsy #quotsyNov17

Does fear make you vulnerable?

Enough detail in the first line to get you interested and to have you reading on. It makes you think something bad is about to happen. #firstsentence @BarbaraBB

A great message!

Started this first book in a new series as part of a Group Read. The book starts off in 1811 as King George III is about to be declared mad and his eldest son (George) made Prince Regent. At this time strange events are happening and a man from the higher echelons of society is on the run for his life. Looking forward to this historical mystery series, let's hope it doesn't disappoint.

I got about halfway through this series before life got in the way and I fell behind. I've decided to jump back in starting from the beginning 😁

Ugh stupid clock⏰I don't wanna get out of bed...I want to stay here and read with my teddy bear 🐻📕😣
