Welcome to Litsy!

I have not started yet cause I‘m reading another book, but I‘ll let you know

There‘s a lot to unpack in this slim novel, and I will be puzzling on it for a while. Sparkling bits of humor and quirky characters set against personal tragedy and absurd yet unsettling politics make this a dense read. Beautiful writing and the ability to portray a very different time and place make this worth the effort.

Friendly reminder, Shardlakians! See pic above! Happy almost 🐪 Day, too!

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I found this installment of the Shardlake series to be quite timely. In the US, at least, I think many of the themes resonate today, particularly fanaticism and the struggle for power. The uncertainty of the period is also quite familiar.

My one quibble is the repetitive nature of Shardlake's crushes - I'd like to see some fresh plot lines in Shardlake's romantic life.

Murder mystery on a tall ship!! Tagging all members and those who expressed interest. All are welcome. We start Saturday March 1st. I broke it into four parts. I will check in on Saturdays. Let me know if you have any questions.

Continuing the countdown of my books, from 1st to 25th, THE JACKAL‘S MISTRESS. Today it‘s my 16th, THE LIGHT IN THE RUINS (2013), a novel that is (I hope) an evocation of WW2 in Tuscany, a love story, and a thriller about a serial killer.
