Welcome to Litsy!

This one feels so small in my hands. Lol If anyone wants me to make the parts shorter, just let me know. Judging by how we have been doing so far, I think we can do this one in two weeks. #CosmereBuddyRead

Yes, I am out of my mind! Participating in too many challenges, but many I already had the books in my #TBR This is my January list.

I used up my last three credits with #botm and my membership‘s now on hold.
Hopefully I won‘t be having #fomo next month.😜
They put in their volume zero as a little extra.

I love @AardvarkBookClub !! Picks are live!!

Of course I‘m psyched for the Tingle! And that cover. 😍😍 #Aardvark has the best horror picks! I was a little torn about Catalina, but I‘m hoping it will be good. I picked up the Keeland from last month, too. #fomo

Thank you IG for putting this book on my #ReadersRadar 🤖I admit I was having HUGE bouts of #FOMO and on a whim started listening to the audio!!!!! RIVETING!!! This book was definitely written with audio in mind as the story unfolds as a podcast. Two women who share a birthday meet serendipitously at a pub. This random encounter leads to a twisted, tragic event. Really fun! Im already putting fourth Lisa Jewell as a nominee for #AAM 2024 😜

The first mystery to become available turned out to be more of a thriller, but in any case once I started it was a real page turner. I made progress on the rest and also started lining up August‘s books.

Logistics didn‘t work out to see Barbie, but we have plans for it next week.

Meanwhile, I discovered that the great shelf collapse messed up my bead stash more than I thought, so I‘ve directed my reorganizing attention there for now.

I love the Gabriel Allon series but the last few books have become more political in nature. This one deals with the Russian/ Ukrainian War. I don‘t disagree with Silva that Putin is the bad guy but this book, though VERY entertaining also felt very cartoonish. I enjoyed the first half of the story more than the second half and hope we‘ll see more of Ingrid in future stories. Still a fun outing with Gabriel & his crew!

#weeklyforecast I have no interest in the #camplitsy23 choices, and library wait times are so long I have to buy them, which irritates me, but #FOMO wins for now 🤦🏻‍♀️😂. I only read Nightmare Man in the middle of the day when it is sunny, and since we‘ve had rain for days, it‘s slow going. Up next: I won a copy of book 4 of Monster Slaying, so I am listening to the first 3 to catch up, plus 2 library holds I‘ll pick up this week.

I did it, I finished this book and I am glad I gave it another try. It is really good.

A Sri Lankan photographer dies and has a week (seven moons) to try come at peace with his life and his death in wartorn Sri Lanka. A typical #Bookerprize winner, and a worthy one.

With this one I finished the #ToB23 shortlist (bailing on two). I‘ll share my wrap-up soon.
