Welcome to Litsy!

I finished both of these this week and thought they looked so pretty together. I reread AoA for #kindredspiritsbuddyread. I had been saving what I thought was the last Flavia de Luce book and then discovered yesterday that another one comes out next month! 🩷 I enjoyed this one and Dogger's increased role.

I listened to the audio for this. I love Jayne as Flavia, but it‘s more the characterization that I love. Like many other audios, it doesn‘t keep my attention, so I did miss much of the story. The mysteries do not seem to be front and centre in any of the books in the series. I‘d like to rate it higher, but I think I just missed too much of what was going on to do so.

Rainy days. Coffee and a book in front of the fireplace. This is my absolute best self-care.

I don‘t have to go to work today. #winterbreak #teachersoflitsy

Thoroughly enjoyed this Flavia de Luce mystery: Dogger and Flavia have set up their own investigation business so of course they stumble over a body . This is apparently the last in the series- I hope that‘s not true.

Downloaded a couple more audiobooks from Libby this morning. Popped by the mall for a Subway sandwich and an iced London Fog - home and ready to start a new Flavia investigation- she‘s bound to stumble over another corpse 🤣💚🐉

Some books I read in September. :)

Goodbye, Flavia! I so enjoyed my reread of this series - and delighted in listening to most of them with Jane Entwistle. The end of this isn‘t a really good wrap up for me, which leads me to hope we may see Flavia again one day.

I don‘t know how much reading I will get done this week, but I thought Flavia would be a good choice 😄

A day late but our #flaviabuddyread questions are coming up!

A wedding might not be that much fun for a 12-year-old. That is, of course, unless your name is Flavia de Luce and someone finds a human finger in the wedding cake. Not to worry — a brilliant chemist and her pal Dogger are on the case.

The last book in our #flaviabuddyread is coming up this Saturday!

As always, I enjoy revisiting precocious Flavia deLuce. Though the mystery was just so-so in this one, I loved the evolving relationship between Flavia and Dogger — a perfect mix of formality and affection. Is this really the end of the series? The ending made it sound like it could go either way.

Really enjoying my morning spent with Flavia. I‘ve missed her.

Another fun mystery starting the precocious Flavia de Luce. I love the new partnership of Arthur W. Dogger & Associates, Discreet Investigations. Cozy country mysteries are the best medicine sometimes. ❤️

I‘ve been so overwhelmed during the last week, that I honestly haven‘t read anything but the news. So I‘m going to attempt to start distracting myself with fiction. Starting with this one that I should have read ages ago.

Such a good series! Thank goodness I read or #quarantine would be straight up boring

There is a special place for Flavia in my heart. I love this evolution with Dogger into detection. The two of them make an excellent team.

I‘ve been putting off reading this because I didn‘t want to be at the end of the series. And now I‘m conflicted because this doesn‘t feel like an ending - great story, as always, and I love that Flavia is starting to mature and grow up but... I dunno. Felt like a let down as a series finale.

First book finished for #24b42020

DH bought this for me for Chanumas—the tenth (and possibly the last) Flavia de Luce. I'm really happy to have the complete set (to date, at least)! While the series is still enjoyable, I think Bradley is running out of steam. Or, maybe it's just that DH gave me his horrid cold/fever for Christmas—I may be having trouble concentrating/enjoying anything. Ugh! [Number Two Son gave me the other pictured book (Steal Like an Artist).]

I just love these so much!!!

I finished this book last week. It was thoroughly enjoyable as all the Flavia books have been. I would hate to see it end here. Flavia is growing up so wonderfully. I would really like to know what happens to her next. I sure wish Flavia had been around when I was growing up. I'm sad to have reached the end of published titles for this series, but happy to tick off another completed (for now) series.

I so love this series...but honestly Flavia is so much more mature than most her age....the series is a joy.

Bittersweet (possible) end to the series! I‘ve listened to most of these in audio format, so as I read this one I kept hearing Flavia, Dogger, and Mrs. Mullet‘s voices in my head 🙃

A bit of a convoluted mystery, but beautiful interactions between Flavia and those whom she loves. She‘s growing up!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Now I need to find a new #cottoncandy listen...#audiobook

Flavia in all her glory.

When Flavia‘s sister finds a severed finger in her wedding cake it is Flavia who comes to the rescue. This book also has the most surprising set of villains.

This book is a delicious confection - unlike the aforementioned wedding cake!

The Loved One is one of my favorites too, Flavia.

THANKS DOGS! I GET A WHOLE CORNER OF THE BED TO MYSELF! No idea where my husband‘s going to sleep.

Flavia is growing up. She and Dogger have gone into business together as detectives and their first case involves a finger found in her sister‘s wedding cake. As usual, the quirky characters of Bishops Lacey play a big part in the mystery. Alan Bradley has written another fun whodunit.

How I‘ve missed you, Flavia!

Ah, Flavia, how I love her. She and Dogger are back at it, when a finger is found in Ophelia‘s wedding cake!! This one has some darker undertones as Flavia deals with the losses from previous books and the “loss” of her sister and their complicated relationship, but it still has the humor you expect from this series. This was my book featuring and amateur detective for #popsugarreadingchallenge

Just finished this audiobook. I heard a rumour that this might be the last Flavia book!?! I can't bear to think there won't be any further hijinks with Flavia and Dogger and Bishops Lacey! I so think I prefer reading these books on my own to the audiobook versions - not quite sure why - but this was still an enjoyable romp through Flavia's world!

Got a new hold in! Temporarily putting aside my other hard copy read to read this one so I can return it asap.

@pepsicola Thanks!🖤💛🖤

Book number 10 in the ongoing series of Flavia and her mystery solving abilities. A great read. I wish I was like this little girl. Her spunk makes the story move along at a great pace.

I have mixed feelings on this tenth book of the Flavia de Luce series. While I always enjoy revisiting the quaint English town of Bishop‘s Lacey and spending time with the inquisitive Flavia, I felt this installment was all over the place at times and the resolution of the mystery left me with more questions. I‘ll read these books though as long as he continues to write them as they‘re still entertaining anyway.

“I called Miss Daphne, but she says she doesn‘t want ‘er tea. She‘s got ‘er nose stuck in a book. USELESS, I think it‘s called, by some woman called Joyce.”

This is my favorite book series. I love how the author has evolved Flavia over 10 books, she is still precocious, but is becoming a young lady dealing with the emotions of growing up through adversity. I just love these books so much😊😭🖤

Flavia is an excellent lunch companion. 😊

"And then Dogger did something that I will never forget until my dying day - if I live that long."

I love Flavia.

There‘s no one quite like Flavia. I really like these books! #seriescaughtup

I will never get tired of Flavia de Luce & Dogger. This 10th addition to the series begins with the wedding of her sister. I adore the audio of these books. As always with this series, the plot matters less to me than the interaction between the main characters. I've heard this is the final book in the series & I hope that's not true.

#FebruaryWrapUp : 3 books off my shelf (I say off my shelf, they were all purchased in 2019 🤫) 1 library book and 8 ebooks for a total of 12 books! I‘M CURRENTLY AHEAD OF MY GOODREADS GOAL!!! 🥳
