Welcome to Litsy!

#LiteraryCrew read this one earlier this year...the many short stories in this introduce a #BeautifulStranger or two to the main characters. Each story is set in the WWI era, before, during or after the war. I chose to highlight this one today in memory of the war and for Armistice/Veterans Day. #Movember

Am enthralled with this book! Downloaded because of a read along hosted by @Librarybelle If you like historical fiction, plague and great characters check it out! I will want an in hand copy of this - if only to be able to loan to friends.

The next #LiteraryCrew #Buddyread will be The Last Hours! We‘re traveling to England in the 1300s, when the Black Death stalked the country.

We‘re a low key buddy read group - the above timeline is a suggested reading time line. Read at your own pace. I check in with everyone at the end of a read week. Please use the listed hashtags and tag me in any posts you make. I‘m tagging those who have expressed interest in this book. All welcome to join!

Joining in on #weeklyforecast - a great idea by @Cinfhen
Hoping to make progress on all of these!
Starting the first book - a little late to join the #literarycrew read along but sounded so good I had to read it
Hoping to finish the second book and write a review on netgalley
And reading the third as a nook app serial reads

Yesterday wrapped up the last reading segment for the #literarycrew ‘s #buddyread . If you‘re still reading - no worries! If you have some overall thoughts to share, please share them below. Personally, I became so captivated with this story that I cannot wait for book two to be published! I‘m also checking #NetGalley frequently to see if an ARC is released for it.

I‘m tagging potential reads for the next round in the comments. What‘s your vote??

I‘m taking a poll for the next #LiteraryCrew #buddyread . Any of these historical fiction the next must read??

We‘re a group who run a very low key buddy read - we break down our readings in small batches, but it‘s purely up to you how much to read. We recap at the end of each reading segment. It‘s a lot of fun!

The #literarycrew read this one earlier this year - a stately hall in England, secrets that carry through the generations, and two wars span this novel. There is sorrow and a sense of haunting memories in this one. #EntryIntoTheGreatHall #SoaringScores

This is book one of an eventual trilogy, based on ancient Scottish history, with connections to the Merlin legend. It took me some time to get into the rhythm of the narrative, but once I did, I was hooked. Rich in detail, this story follows Langoureth, a daughter of a Scottish king, who becomes enmeshed in the religious struggles between the “Old Way” and Christianity. It will be so hard to wait for book two to come out! #LiteraryCrew #buddyread

Stayed up til 4am reading this! 😳 It really sucks you in, and it's been pretty much all I've wanted to read this weekend. Obviously I won't hit 24 hours, but I'd be happy if I get to 18! #24B4Monday #Readathon #Scarathlon #TeamStoker #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

It‘s the last week for #LiteraryCrew ‘a #buddyread of the tagged book! I‘ve enjoyed seeing everyone‘s posts, and depending upon how things go, I‘m hoping to finish the readings up today.

Over the last few readings, I‘ve really grown to enjoy the story. It took me awhile to get into the rhythm of the telling, but now I‘m really hooked. It will be hard to wait until next summer for book two!

Any thoughts to share for last week‘s reading?
