Welcome to Litsy!

I've finished #fourfoursin24 after a four month hiatus between prompt fills!

And I've just about finished finalising the prompts for next year's #fourfoursin25 - so stay tuned, and let me know if you'd like to be added to the tag list. #readingchallenge #readingchallenges

I was re-reading Anne's House of Dreams for Childhood Favourite and Lighthouse prompts in other #readingchallenges, but there it is, finally, my last prompt fill for #fourfoursin24 ! Yay! #garretparrot

Decided to check my progress on my reading challenges. I am 70% finished with the OWLS. Only 6% on read around the world. 25% on #fourfoursin24. And 25% on my own #ssrc #summersolsticereadingchallenge.

I have vacillated between pick and so-so for this book. This was a book I flew through but it didn‘t wholly work for me. I think if it were more of a collection of connected short stories I would have liked it more. As a novel it didn‘t come together for me and I found myself asking where Stradal was going with it all and the ending did not satisfy. StillI cannot ignore the writing and heart on these pages.

Sad to see this series end as I love spending time with the Bergmans. In this book in love with love Viggo decides to follow his passion and open a romance bookstore. When he needs help he finagles a mutually beneficial arrangement with snarky, cynical mystery writer Tallulah who needs help ironing out her next book. They are opposites in almost every way but their hearts don‘t seem to care. Just the escape I needed. #fourfoursin24 #snarkysparky

Bk2 of August is done. Crap picture but I only have the ebook of this one. My 2nd favourite Will Trent, it brings back the OTHER mean girl in Sara‘s life, Lena Adams.The woman responsible for Jeffrey‘s death is now embroiled in Wills undercover operation so naturally, Wills life is on the line. And naturally he doesn‘t tell Sara which is the worst decision he makes. Lena & her husband Jared, Jeffrey‘s son(ick)are ambushed at home & nearly killed👇

I finally finished my first book of August. Yay me! But I checked my GR goal & it‘s abysmal☹️I loved this book, the 5th in her All Souls chronicles. It was far from perfect, but I loved that there was a lot more magic & witchy vibes than the previous books. I also liked that the twins are older with more storyline as well. Loved the Procters & Ravenswood, but I‘m still waiting on Gallowglass or Phillippe & Ysabeau‘s stories! #SeriesLove2024 👇

For some reason I expected to have a strong reaction to this one- either deep love or utter hatred. Instead all I could think was “meh.” Even the polarizing fig tree narrator who passes on information that they learn from bees and mosquitoes did nothing for me either way. There was some lovely writing and important ideas but otherwise I felt underwhelmed. #24in2024

Another delightful adventure with Emily as she aids Wendell in the search for the door he needs to a fairy realm. New characters with some old friends along for the ride as well, new dangers, but the same Emily who just wants to be left alone to do her work. I really enjoy this series.

After a long hiatus, I've finally ticked another box in #FourFoursin24 - #FuzzyBuzzy

In this book, the MC discovered he has myopia (hence fuzzy) - and gets stung on the eye by a wasp. I'd say it qualifies!

SO that's this quadrant filled - and only one prompt to go, #GarretParrot
