Welcome to Litsy!

How did we live without audiobooks ?! This book features 4 60 year olds who are retired from being assassins and while on a cruise treated like doddering old fools while I, a 60 year old, shovelled all this dirt 🤬

Four post-menopausal assassins on the brink of retirement? Say less - a fun and imaginative premise! These characters kick ass—and are funny, fierce, and full of history. The pacing is quick, but oddly, I still found myself bored at times. The execution just didn‘t match the promise of the premise. Still, if you love strong female leads & spy-style thrillers, it's worth picking up. I listened to this one on audio. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❤️📚🎧

Nothing like picking up a hardcover book (tagged) for $11…added the middle grade book (it has good reviews) just because.

And here's my #BookSpinBingo board for May. I have no clue if I'll manage a Bingo or not. We'll see.

“My name is Celaena Sardothien," she whispered, "and I will not be afraid.”

Re-read before reading the sequel which just came out. Women assassins taking out terrible people, including Nazis, seems like an appropriate read for the current times.

Raybourn's Veronica Speedwell series has humor and lively, wonderfully singular characters. Killers of a Certain Age has very bland characters. Female assassins who have aged-out of their jobs at the "museum" fighting against an unknown enemy with an elite force at its disposal. What a great plot. Alas, it was boring. The time skips could have been used in such a way as to make the story more complex; however, mostly they were just tedious.
