Welcome to Litsy!

Bk8, the final one, of my #FebruaryBookHaul is the third in the Seasons-Winter editions of classic novels, Pride & Prejudice. It‘s absolutely beautiful, I‘m loving the mint green/teal of the edges and leather. And the laser cut paper cover is amazing. I‘ve ordered the fourth Winter, Little Women, but I have a feeling they‘re sold out everywhere😢Can‘t wait for the Summer editions that are coming in June, Alice In Wonderland is one of them!

Bk7 of my #FebruaryBookHaul is another gorgeous signed edition. I especially love the tree on the edge. Pine is a thriller/mystery set in a small Highlands village in the middle of a pine forest. Lauren & her father live alone,until one Halloween a woman stumbles out in front of their car. In the morning she‘s gone,but strange things have always happened in their village. But when a local teenager goes missing, Lauren no longer knows who to trust.

Bk6 in my #FebruaryBookHaul is the 2nd book in a MG fantasy/adventure series from Aussie author Jeremy Lachlan. Signed by the author, it follows on from Janes exploits in the Cradle Of All Worlds. Her father is still imprisoned & The Manor(the world between worlds)is dying. Jane must escape from Arakaan & save both from destruction. Like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider for tweens, it‘s full of derring do & excitement.

Bk5 of my #FebruaryBookHaul is this stunning edition of The Mercies. I could look at that cover for hours😍Set in 1617 Norway, the women are left to fend for themselves after all the village men are killed in a violent storm. 3 yrs later, a man arrives from Scotland but instead of strong women he sees witches & evil. Especially when his young Norwegian wife becomes infatuated with their independence. Can‘t wait to read this one!

Bk4 in my #FebruaryBookHaul is the 2nd murder mystery by this author. A signed edition from Waterstones, I‘m hoping it‘s as good, if not better, than her debut. An exclusive wedding on an island off the coast of Ireland, the groom, a rising television star, the bride, a magazine publisher, the dead guest, unexpected💀. Isolated with no reception, events go from bad to worse with petty jealousies & secrets coming to the surface. Sounds like fun!

Bk3 of my #FebruaryBookHaul is this beautiful edition of The Sisters Grimm. At 13, powerful sisters Goldie, Liyana, Scarlet & Bea are taken from their world of Everwhere & separated. Five years later, they are searching for each other & their homeland, only to find they have 33days before they have to battle first his soldiers, then their father on their 18th birthday, and to survive means turning dark. Sounds a bit like Three Dark Crowns🤔

Bk2 in my #FebruaryBookHaul is the 3rd in the Cormac Reilly series, and is another signed book. Set in Galway, Ireland, Detective Reilly is dealing with enemies at work & problems are home. Then he has to work a child abduction with a severely understaffed team and things go from bad to worse in a heartbeat. I loved the first two books and this one has good reviews and is turning into another must read like Karin Slaughter & Co.

I didn‘t get much reading done in February, I found it hard to concentrate for health reasons, but I did receive a few preorders. So 1st up in my #FebruaryBookHaul is this debut novel about how female illness is prone to accusations of “hysteria”. A flock of red birds has made their home at Birch Hill, an elite girls school. Soon the girls start falling ill with strange symptoms & their teacher finds herself battling against a dubious physician.
