Welcome to Litsy!

Sheltered housing for the elderly is being built on the site of the old rectory. Some old friends move in and also some new characters.

This is book 8 in the series and I must admit it's not scratching the nostalgia itch the way the others have done. I'm starting to forget who is who, and the ebook formatting is not helping with no white space to show when we move from one scene to another. I'm not sure whether to continue.

Hayley, who writes a food and drink column for her local paper in Bar Harbor, Maine, gets so excited when superstar, country music hunk Wade comes to town. But then one of Wade‘s roadies ends up dead. I‘m not a mystery reader, but this was a little ridiculous and a lot of fun. Lee Hollis is actually a brother sister writing duo so I had a lot of fun guessing who wrote what. Like when a guy did a roundhouse backhand. Or 2 women fought until👇🏼

So my sisters and mom and I are all doing a book club this December. Picked a pretty hardcover Christmas romance. I‘m cackling though because it‘s spicier than expected. Hope mom loves it! 😊

This was a fun cozy mystery. The audiobook added to the experience as well. It did include some Bridgerton, Shakespeare, and Star Wars spoilers, so beware 🤣

Came across this while browsing at my new hometown library. This was a fun, cozy read especially while settling into a small animal vet job again. I think the author‘s portrayal of a dog‘s thought process was very close to accurate. Overall, this was a fun mystery with a satisfying ending and a few high-intensity moments. #dogonit #spencerquinn #chetandbernie #hardcover #library #cozy #mystery #dogs #dogsoflitsy

Cute!

Read another little bit of BRIGANDS & BREADKNIVES while I did an airport run. I devoured the first seventy pages a couple days back, but ever since then I‘ve been limping along through it. I dunno if I‘ll finally find my rhythm with it or if I‘ll just kinda drift away and try again some other time. We‘ll see what happens tonight and tomorrow. I should have more reading time now I‘ve finished another leg of my journal review project.

I very much enjoy reading and listening to books at the same time.

I usually always have one mystery going, even if I‘m reading 10 other things! Since I finished the latest Jimmy Perez (The Killing Stones) and I have this one out from the library in paper and audio form, hello busybodies!

At 45%, I‘m cutting my losses and bailing. It started off so strong that I was sure it would be one of my favorites of the year and then it just became a slog. What should have been a warm hug of found family cozy fantasy (even with the underlying theme of grief) just became…something else. It‘s giving dull and icky vibes.
