Welcome to Litsy!

To keep this book related I tagged my current read, which is for both #AuthorAMonth and #AuldLangSpine.

But really just look at these amazing portraits of my furkids! Aren‘t they perfect? Link to the artist, she‘s local to me and just such a wonderful artist and person!

Very loosely linked to “Snow White,“ but I was reminded more of the show “House.“ Anja is a problem solver more than a healer, awkward and blunt, but deeply committed to saving people with her knowledge of poisons and antidotes. When she's asked to discover what's ailing the King's daughter, she discover a bizarre, often horrifying world far beyond her rational, scientific knowledge.

Finished tonight, this was my other ebook on hold for #AuthorAMonth #December #NoraRoberts & when the hold came I started reading a few pages & then got hooked & had finish. I am a fan of thrillers about religious zealots & serial killers & here we have a good combo. It‘s a bit long & as most romances, a bit too buttoned down & predictable, but it kept me turning the pages. Apropos of not much😉this sushi I enjoyed with it last night was ono.😋

#WeeklyForecast

Starting Nettle & Bond tomorrow for #AuthorAMonth. It will be my first Kingfisher so I have no idea what to expect.
Picked up The Paris Express after setting it aside early last year. So far I‘m finding it more engaging. Washington I‘m reading a few chapters a day. Liking Mob Queen and Shirley is a bit of a slog so far. Next up should be my library books for TOB26. It feels like it should be a good reading week.

Rhea, the plucky 15 year old daughter of a miller, finds out that a nobleman she has never even met has asked to marry her. This already makes no sense to Rhea and when she finally meets him she knows something is off. Then she discovers he already has six wives… Fast paced and entertaining but more YA than I was expecting. A light pick for this month‘s

January's #Authoramonth T. Kingfisher wasn't for me, but I read one of their children's books under the name Ursula Venom & it was delightful!

⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

First book of 2026 completed. #authoramonth #litsyatoz #letterW @Soubhiville

Review to come. But I loved it.

This wasn‘t as good as the first one, but it‘s still absolutely fantastic. Her writing is just so good. The chilling atmosphere hits you from the very first page and carries you all the way though. I am also a little in love with Easton.
