Welcome to Litsy!

Nope! This book is too Gatiss for me. Even in translation, it has all the annoying rhythm of a Gatiss teleplay and the historical shortcuts of a tv show. On top of that, the translator converted all Her Majesty's Imperial measurements to metric. In a book taking place in late 19th-c London. Congnitive dissonance does not even begin to explain it. Not for me!

#trivialthursday @GarthRanzz

I got #bookmail yesterday! The whole trilogy by Mark Gatiss. Now I just have to find time to read them.

@Bambolina_81 So this is my #tbrbingo. Hope you can read everything. I had a look for English titles so it is easier for you. Only the ones I wrote in German, weren't published in English. 😍😏

Not only is Lucifer Box the sassiest character in this novel, he is also a dapper gentleman spy.

Ich habe ja nicht schon genug Bücher... 😂😂😂

I don't even have enough books... 😂😂😂

#blameitonlitsy

This was a total #blameitonlitsy pick! Cheeky humor and an old-school "fluff" mystery make this a quick and enjoyable read.

#JunesTunz Lucifer Box is definitely the most vain character I've came across, he's brilliant #Youresovain "who is killing Britain's most prominent vulcanologists and...which tie goes best with a white carnation?" Mark Gatiss is a genius ? ❤️

My library picks for the week.
(Haven checked out about 20 books of her own today 😱 That's my girl! 😍)

I finished this. I can't say i expected it to be as it was. The mystery was fun, but the entire book just seemed a little too much. This would fit into my #LitsyReadingChallenge2017 #LGBTQRelationship

Putting this book "on hold" for awhile, but not because it's bad. I've just too much on my mind right now. I need something mindless to read. Our 9 year old is having surgery Wednesday, and I find myself becoming distracted. Right now, I need comfort reads. #selfcare #lotsofprayer

On to my next book. I 💙 Gatiss!

#fallenangel #characters2017 I immediately thought of this dialogue from Lucifer Box for this prompt @librarianryan

@jenniferw88 another great passage ❤️

@DeborahSmall sent me 3 (!!!) parcels of books today! She recommended these to me and I can't wait to start reading them as I love Mark Gatiss.

My absolute favorite book on the whole damn planet. (I own ALL THE BOOKS. If there is another one out there I'm missing please tell me!)

The blurb on the back of the book has it aright: "equal parts James Bond and Sherlock Holmes, with a twist of Monty Python and a dash of Austin Powers..." The protagonist (and this book) is weirdly charming. Devilishly Delightful. Tongue is firmly in cheek here. Second for #bookisholympics

I was beyond excited to read this — bisexual, 19th-century James Bond written by Mark Gatiss? Is it my birthday already?! Unfortunately marred by transphobia and pervasive nasty punching-down. A shame: There were some delightful moments and tons of potential, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.
