Welcome to Litsy!

1. I picked up the tagged book from my free cycle group.
2. The house was at the end of a long drive in the woods, and when I got there I saw a bald eagle in the trees.
3. Then I went to my favorite indie bookstore followed by a late lunch of loaded fries and spiced winter ale.
4. I spent several hours waiting while my car was being serviced, but I had a good book (and some entertaining canned TV programming) to keep me occupied.

Should have been on the list:
The Paperbag Princess

Alligator Pie
Honourable mention: The Devil in Vienna is one of my favourite books of all time but maybe more a pre-teen book.

Would like to read (based on the cover 😉)
The Arrival
Julian is a Mermaid
Cianpollo the Little Onion

The main character Victoria has a huge anger problem and attacks everyone. I found a spoiler that revealed that she becomes a mother at a later part in the book, and I protest her becoming one. That‘s why I am not finishing this book.
