Loving the series so far. The first in this series was an #AuldLangSpine pick. I knew I was in trouble when I got to the end credits and heard “and was produced in the year 2024”. 🫢😅 I don‘t typically find series while they are ongoing and was already ready to add book 3 to my TBR for March but it won‘t be here till August 🥲🎻

At least August is closer now than when I wrote this in February 🤷🏻‍♀️ #LitsyAtoZ #LetterM

This book is such fun, Vera is a great character, but it also touches on dark subjects. Overall, a good balance.

February #BookSpin / #BookSpinBingo / #ReadYourKindle ♥️ Two Can Play was my “Someplace Cold” #FictionalTraveler pick and my “book where the setting is cold/icy” for #TBRTarot. I ended up DNFing ACOTAR for #LittensLoveRomance 🫣 But I might try it again at some point. Maybe romantasy just isn‘t my thing. #LitsyAtoZ More on Hell Followed With Us in the next post. It was also my favorite for February.

So.. I have not been in a reading slump, but I have been in a Litsy posting slump. Get ready for a 5 month recap and hopefully I can stay consistent for the last half of 2025! #BookSpinBingo #LitsyAtoZ #TBRTarot #LittensLoveRomance

This one was not for me.
I found it very unbelievable, tedious, dull and repetitive.

Centering around an eccentric historian‘s access to the MC‘s g-grandfather‘s journals, this look at history, ethics, family, myth, community, and spirituality is wrapped in a great story with elegant prose. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad. I highlighted many quotes, but didn‘t want to stop reading long enough to post them. Letter D for #litsyAtoZ, No 1 for #14books14weeks

Captivating, engrossing tale of how seemingly simple choice and secrets can shape lives so different that they don't seem to be connected at all.

I‘ve decided to listen to this audiobook while also listening to Dickens‘ Little Dorrit audiobook depending on my mood. This one is short and I miss Italy. I also need to read another #Italy book for #foodandlit as we celebrate #Jubilee all year long! @Catsandbooks I also need a #letterF for #litsyatoz

Reading very much like a work of Fiction, this brutal account of the Clutter Murders is bone chilling.

Not only is Capote a masterful writer, but his dedication to obtaining all the information needed for this recounting amazes me - especially taking into account the when. No quick Google searches to check facts, or see photos of places. Just feet on the ground investigation.
