Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s a wrap! With a few tweaks (and assuming Dracula fits for “featuring mythology,”) this book by Octavia Butler completes the final prompt needed for #52bookclub2023” 🥳. A great way to finish—Loved this book! Another one that had languished on my TBR pile for too long!

One of my favorite authors. Usually I get swept into her books from the outset. However this was a slow start for me. Once I got past page 100 it picked up and I raced through the last ¼ of the book. Mystery, history, dual timelines, family secrets, great setting, wonderful writing. So much to love, but not her strongest book. #52bookclub2023 set in Australia #rushathon #littenlistens #cloakanddagger#dashingdecember #wintergames #authoramonth

High tension, excellent plotting and bonus of tandem storyline about the main investigator‘s family. I was loving this one til near the end-the resolution was a bit of a let down. Nevertheless a solid 4 ⭐️ read. Though not exactly set in Dublin I am using it for #52bookclub2023 prompt ‘set in Dublin‘ since it‘s a Dublin Murder Squad mystery. #RushAThon #LittenListens #cloakanddagger #serieslove2023

Thanks #52bookclub2023! I‘ve had this book on my TBR list for years and it would have likely languished there longer if not for the #newberrymedalwinner prompt. Am kicking myself I didn‘t read it sooner!

15 year old Ellie Mack disappears on her way to the library. 10 years later her fractured family is still looking for answers. The book alternates between the present and the time leading up to the disappearance. Told from multiple viewpoints, but mostly Mom‘s. Despite figuring out fairly early what happened, the tension was palpable throughout my read. Very Creepy!

For the first time ever, I managed to complete the #52bookclub2023 reading challenge

Absolutely loved this book! The beauty of the cover matches the beauty within! Character driven book with a great sense of place. It met a prompt for #52bookclub2023, set during the Roaring 20‘s. We follow Zora‘s journey from a childhood in poverty as she reaches for her dream of one day becoming a fashion designer. I was hooked from start to finish! This is a new author for me and I will definitely look out for others. Any recommendations?
