Welcome to Litsy!

“Maybe humans need animals to help them understand the world.“

Found in little free library. Never heard of author but seems she has many books in this series. I'm right into her main characters and feel I have to read more to find out what happens to them. Easy to read. . Great escape for me right now. Now on to my next read. This month has been my greatest escape into reading.

I actually visited a real live book store last week. At this rate, I might actually get to 2 this year lol

Ruth Galloway is once again up to her neck in danger. With ties to her college days, a dead man‘s invitation to a possibly history making dig, a floundering college, all of which takes place near a vacationing Harry Nelson, Ruth once again helps to solve an intricately involved mystery, and rediscover possibly career changing remains. And there‘s ancient mythology and druids. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is book 5 in the series and just as good as the first. What I love about the series is the continuing back story of the characters. The main plot is always good too. 4.5⭐ #SpookOween #Necronomathon @Patchshank #Wickedathon @StayCurious #LittenListen @aperfectmjk #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #SeriesRead2021 #ReadWithUs @GHABI4ROSES @DieAReader

Brilliant #crimefiction event taking place this weekend. They've raised over £12K for food banks sellong tickets, and if this opening session is any indicator, it's going to be well worth the price. I was laughing out loud.

Very atmospheric with a tantalising air of menace from an unknown source. One quibble which may be just the ebook formatting, but some sort of typographical clue such as an extra line space or a row of asterisks when the scene changes would be helpful.

But being thin has never seemed worth being hungry

‘I‘ve asked around,‘ Henry is saying, the unctuous note back in his voice. ‘And you are one of our foremost experts on bones.‘

This description always makes Ruth think of a dog.

#scribd ebook cover was boring so I am using the thumbnail

I can‘t get enough of Elly Griffiths. These are super fast reads for me! Each story is interesting and you get to know her characters a little more in every book.

I think I liked this series better at the beginning. That being said, I still gobbled this one up. I'm a sucker for a cosy mystery these days - such a great escape from the news cycle!

Next up! I'm at home doing post vacation laundry and trying to wrap my head around going back to work tomorrow. I just want to curl up in bed with a book all day!

Another in the Ruth Galloway series! This one had Ruth involved in finding out whether bones were King Arthur's. She always manages to get in the middle of dangerous situations. This one wasn't quite a good as previous, but still enjoyable. My heart did stop at the end of story and I thought oh NO! You'll have to read to find out why!!

A Druid who goes by the name Cathbad is a recurring character in the Ruth Galloway series. He‘s one of the reasons I love this series— the side characters are well done! He plays a big part in the tagged book. #celtic #literaryluck

So I think I‘m just over this series... I‘m not good at reading series. This is the 5th book in the series and at this point I think I‘m just kind of done. I‘m sure there is nothing wrong with this book, I just had no interest in continuing reading. I got about 70 pages in.

I plan to continue reading Elly Griffith‘s other books though.

1. My pup. Always laying under my desk at my feet, especially if a blanket is involved.
2. I got an evening to myself where I got to relax and read home alone.
3. Both. I do cheese, but not milk or cream. DF cream cheese and almond milk.
4. 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ (just started only 50 pages in)
5. No

I really love this series, and this installment was particularly good. An interesting cast of characters, with plenty of suspects and plot twists. I was kept guessing until very late. I have to contain myself from binge reading all the Ruth Galloway mysteries, because I want the enjoyment to last.

I love celebrating Litsy milestones, especially when they come with a giveaway 😂

Picture postcard weather, but I‘m actually cool sitting in the shade on the porch. Time to take my reading inside.

I wondered where the title of this book came from, and, by coincidence, it‘s derived from a Shakespeare quote from Twelfth Night, which I saw (and read) last month.

Honest, I was only going to the library to return hubby‘s books. After all, I added 3 new Kindle deals to my TBR last week alone. But the next thing I knew, my feet were moving past the book return. At least I escaped with only one book😂

I have a sleeping baby, Beauty and the Beast edition tea that I forgot I bought at Disney, and a good book. Meanwhile hubby is outside shovelling. I like that I get to stay inside this winter ;)

I know I should be sleeping... babe is sleeping, mama should be too... why don't I sleep when she sleeps all flipping night?! Why am I constantly watching her monitor? She sleeps a solid 12 hours if not more.. me a solid 2...Thanks to @Shemac77 for the bag of books I'm still reading.

1. Crunchy
2. The tagged one - though the next in the series is darned good too!
3. Reading, participating in the #LetsGetGraphicWeeklongMarathon that starts today, and a library and doughnut run tomorrow. Looking forward to 4 days off!
4. Speak every language, with the option to talk to animals only sometimes (like when they‘re sick, etc).
5. No minor but I had more than enough music credits for a major!

Book 5 in the Ruth Galloway series and I'm still enjoying them. She's off to Blackpool after the death of an old friend. Another great story and very dramatic. Off to read the next one.

The DR Ruth Galloway series are based in Norfolk which is where I live and the real places mentioned are nearby to me. I'm really hoping at some point she will actually mention my town.

Book no. 5 in the series and it was good! It took me a while to get into it, felt like it could have been a little shorter but I liked it! Definitely will continue the series! 😊

Felt like going right into the 5th book in the Ruth Galloway series. 🤗 #litsypartyofone

Time for me to read another Ruth Galloway mystery! I love this series and am trying not to finish it too quickly. #mystery

Elly Griffiths is always my auto buy author. I love both her series although my favourite is Ruth Galloway. #marchintoreading

This is not a fun snowstorm, like the last couple of storms. It's mean and hella windy. The power keeps going out. Reading this right now while it's still light out. Then - who knows? 😕🌨☠️

I almost always read on my Kindle app when I'm talking a walk. Started a new walking book today. I love these books and am trying to spread them out so I don't get through them to quickly!

Y'all. I know I said it in my previous review, but this is absolutely my favourite series!! Im not even reading for plot anymore, although I still find the archeological theme fascinating; I LOVE these characters and care about what happens to them! And the suspense near the end is 👌🏻Is Griffiths's other series as good as this one??!!
