Welcome to Litsy!

Here are more bingo cards from #wintergames. I didn't succeed in clearing any of them, but I did manage at least one bingo from each!

Many thanks to the hosts who gave us these great challenges to motivate my December reading!

This is a complex and gripping mystery/thriller spanning two timelines that eventually merge. Some parts are quite disturbing and graphic, but I enjoyed learning more about Portugal's history in the second half of the 20th century.

I chose this book for the “wartime mystery“ prompt of #CloakAndDaggerChristmas. @Ruthiella

I really enjoyed this final selection of the #goldenagecrimeclub. The mystery was intriguing, the characters had depth and the commentary on English society and politics was especially interesting. I was also amused by the fact that it was a Christmas setting but everyone was absolutely miserable! @Mitch

This is a low pick for me. It's not an especially strong mystery but it's definitely a fun read for the Christmas season.

I loved this second book in the Aggie Morton series, a middle-grade series inspired by Agatha Christie's characters. It's a classic country-house mystery set during the Christmas holidays, with the brave and clever young detectives outsmarting the criminals.

I adore the cover art too -- that poor snowman! 😂

This was a great choice for #LitsySciFiBookClub. I've read a lot of Scalzi's books and this would rank among my favourites. I love the aggressively rude dolphins and I crack up every time I look at this cover image!

I loved rereading this Christmas-themed horror story as our #snowangels buddy read, and the audiobook narration by Kate Mulgrew was excellent. I especially enjoyed spotting all the Stephen King references. Joe Hill is SK's son, and I'm sure the character Tabitha was a nod to his mother.

I did a reread of this 2nd book in the Nancy Drew series for both #NancyDrewBR and #CloakandDaggerChristmas. It's a low pick for me. It was enjoyable, if a bit dark compared to others in the series, but the mystery was not all that compelling.

I'm using this collection of British Christmas-themed mystery stories for #CloakandDaggerChristmas. A few of the stories were mediocre but most were enjoyable. I especially liked a novella-length story by Victor Gunn, a.k.a. Edwy Searles Brooks.
