Welcome to Litsy!

May #bookspin #doublespin picks

Got Color Wheel (Red) and Small Book (under 300 pages)

#bookspin Really interesting reading this book from the 1950s during the age of AI and the rise of the machine. Frighteningly plausible.

Finally finished this one.

Jordan has a good start and a good end but the middle is just so boring.

One of my #bookspin #doublespin picks from March

Hello everyone! I've been on a bit of a hiatus since I was traveling for work for the last two months and it really cut in to my reading time. The nerve! This month, I'm going to see how many of the books I meant to read in March and April are actually getting finished. But first, on to the tagged new release that I am so excited to start!

As in Feb, I'm doing two lists, one to pick my #bookspin books and the second for the #bookspinbingo board.

I love this series so much. Jane Casey has done a great job building an ongoing storyline for her main characters and weaving it into cases that keep the reader guessing. I was honestly not sure how either thread was going to resolve. You definitely need to start at the beginning with this series because you‘d miss a lot jumping in randomly.

This was my #BookSpin for May

These idiots sort of all deserve each other. Unfortunately there are murdery things happening as well. Setting is Lake Como in Italy.

This took me quite awhile to read, maybe because I didn‘t want to know how it ended?

A young, widowed father is doing what he can to save his boy from living the life he has lived. When we first meet them, they are running away. I‘m not going to spoil if the father succeeds or not.

But there‘s several instances of child abuse

The first half was my #BookSpin for April

This was a super cute middle grade romance!

First off, I loved the amusement park setting. The majority of the story took place there and it worked so well. It was fun and added to the playfulness of the romance. The park reminded me a lot of the fictional Walley World from the movie, “National Lampoon‘s Vacation” (which is a movie I love).

Happy #botm day! The irises are blooming, and it‘s finally sunny! The Bombshell is my #bookspin or #doublespin, so I‘m starting there.
