Welcome to Litsy!

3.0⭐️

This wasn‘t my favorite read and it took me a while to get through but I‘m really happy I gave this a chance. I‘ve been wanting to explore older books and different types of crime novels since paranormal noir is one of my favorite genres. The craziness of the end of this book was hilarious to see and I was honestly surprised with who ended up with the money.

Stopped by a Barnes & Noble and just wandered until something caught my eyes. Today‘s winners were the tagged book—I‘m not even sure I knew Bradbury wrote crime fiction—and a middle grade fantasy, the first couple of pages were very entertaining. Looking forward to the long weekend and some good reading.

Decent crime fiction. This was a random library pick because it‘s an Edgar winner, has a 4.42 on GR, and Dennis Lehane recommended it. I was curious about the Hard Case Crime covers, and they all seem to be like this! (There‘s almost no sex in this one. 😙)

1. Puzzle entitled Good Hair. I thought it was beautiful!
2. See the tiny rocket on the left? Daughter sent this image from Cape Canaveral.
3. Anybody catch this viral image of two kids with Obama taking a walk in the background?
4. Wow, my incredible library now has pick up lockers RIGHT NEAR MY HOUSE! I can walk there.
5. Really happy this week to have Litsy in my life.

Great book! Definitely an early work of his, not quite into his stride on writing style/story cadence as some of his later works like Jurassic park, but very interesting and a quick read. Professionals diver gets hired by seedy group to recover articles from sunken boat...and gets tangled in their web. 8/10 would recommend

A diver is hired to investigate a suspicious boat accident, but when he leaves one day earlier than expected to investigate the area, he finds the boat is still afloat. It begs the question: is this a case of insurance fraud, or is it deeper than that? Just what, exactly, has he gotten himself into? Great so far!

Better late than never! #bookspin

A very different experience than the Perry Mason novels, though Gardner‘s trademark dialogue and crime schemes are both evident.

Here‘s my review for this book I just finished reading.

Here‘s my progress in this book. It‘s not what I‘m used to reading from Stephen King. I was expecting this book to be similar to his other books that I‘ve read. I‘ve read Carrie, Christine, Misery, The Shining, Doctor Sleep and IT and I enjoyed those but this is kind of boring. It‘s sweet and sentimental but it doesn‘t feel right coming from a horror writer. Will I finish it? I don‘t know. Maybe but I‘m not having a good time reading it.
