Welcome to Litsy!

My first mystery for the #ChristmasCrimeChallenge. A locked room.
It was also on my list of #10beforetheend.

Part original list, part #10BeforeTheEnd books and part other challenges.

One more down from my #10BeforeTheEnd list. I definitely did not love all of these stories, but several of them were fantastic, which made reading the collection worthwhile. I have immense respect for her uncompromising creativity.

My 6th #10beforetheend book

This was Kunzru‘s debut and while I think it shares themes with his later work regarding identity, race, and class, it‘s more conventional.

Moving from India to England to Africa, the story is Dickensian in scope. Pran is an Anglo-Indian boy who can pass for white. Circumstances put him on the streets, forcing him to adopt new identities to get by. He‘s always chasing after belonging, but underneath he is hollow.

3/5⭐️ (Good)
I liked the puzzles, the premise and the twist at the end but it was very YA. I don‘t care about the love triangle. The supposed reason for the game was kind of lame in my opinion. Still, it has hooked me enough that I will continue with the series

This is my book for #I so I‘ve now competed #LitsyAtoZ @Texreader

One more to check off the #10BeforeTheEnd list too @ChaoticMissAdventures

Time for our last #MonthlyNonfiction2025 selection of the year! What will everyone be reading? My choice is Rick Steves‘ European Christmas.

We will be continuing for 2026. Please comment below if you‘d like to be added to, or removed from, the tag list.

Everyone is welcome! The challenge is simple: read one nonfiction book each month.

Tagging all who participated this year. It has been fun exploring nonfiction together!

#weekendreads

Unfortunately I have a (for me) busy four day weekend. Tis the season…ugh 😂 Nonetheless I should be able to finish at least two of my currently reading books.

The Library Book - #Roll100
The Impressionist and Home - #10beforetheend
Impossible Fortune because my library hold came in, though it could also work for #ChristmasCrimeChallenge

I got into this shortly after complaining I wasn't getting into it, and oof, what a ride. This certainly goes places. I feel like the relationship between Shane and Marguerite was more background than e.g. Piper and Galen, so that I found it less strong mattered less, ultimately.

Here is my list for #CasttheDie

It's a mix of winter books, #SnowedIn picks and #10BeforetheEnd

I'm going to be rolling the numbers on Sunday (because Monday is December! 😱) Make sure you've made your lists before then!
