Up to 20 for this year‘s #LitsyAtoZ!
#LetterN - Now May You Weep - I must not be the only one new to this series because every time I try to check out the next one, there‘s a wait.
#LetterO - One Small Sacrifice - the first one of what looks like a good series revolving around an NYPD detective.
#LetterV - The Vanishing Stair - the second of three revolving around murders in the past and present at a boarding school.
⬇️

Pamwurtzler #LetterW - Why We Came to the City - a group of college friends dealing with adulting and tragedy in NYC. This one was super good!!! 4y

More #LitsyAtoZ for me!
#LetterA - And Justice There Is None - this is a great series that‘s coming in handy for this challenge.
#LetrerC - The Current - suspenseful and super good!
#LetterD - Dreaming of the Bones - back to that Deborah Crombie series
#LetterR -The Right Sort of Man - a marriage bureau in post WWII London. One of their clients is murdered, and her potential match is the suspect. Our heroines have to solve the crime!

1) Several months ago I lowered my GR goals from 200 to 150. I'm about 10 away from making my goal. I'll probably finish the year at 175-180.
2) I can say the alphabet backwards as fast as forwards. It's a great, & utterly useless, party trick.
3) I have very eclectic tastes in music, but if forced to choose one then I suppose 90s-early 2000s indie/alt.
4) I'm unsure of the exact date, but a couple of weeks will mark 3 years I've been on Litsy.

Suet624 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 on your reading goals! Impressive! 5y
scowler1 Nice party trick! 5y

Hooked_on_books That‘s an amazing party trick! I can say (and sing) all the states in alphabetical order. 😬 5y
PathfinderNicole Early 2000s alt is my favorite too! 5y
vivastory @Suet624 Thanks! I was a bit dissatisfied at first, but it's a pretty good number 😄 5y
vivastory @scowler1 Thanks! 😁 5y
vivastory @Hooked_on_books That is extremely impressive! 5y
vivastory @PathfinderNicole It really was a golden age for indie bands releasing some of their best work (modest mouse, death cab for cutie, shins, bright eyes, white stripes etc) 5y
youneverarrived I sent you a message on Goodreads about our discussion tomorrow. Just checking if it went through? 😊 5y
