Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed the first half of this short novel; the second half was not so much. I previously struggled the last time with Conan Doyle‘s telling of past events in America, and this one left me feeling similarly. I guess I‘m all about Holmes‘s deductions and not reading about the lawless American West through the eyes of Conan Doyle!

So-so for me, but this checks off #LetterV #LitsyAToZ and #InThePublicDomain #52BookClub25 ! #NoPlaceLikeHolmes

I‘m ready for the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes discussion on 2/22!!

These are my current long reads, and I‘m enjoying each of them in their own way.

I got a lot from my previous read of #Genji, so I thought I would reread for the #Reading1001 yearlong read this year by listening to the Washburn translation. It‘s interesting how I‘ve forgotten so many details, but then hear sections that immediately seem so familiar.

Hello, Sherlockians~
Just a reminder that the discussion for the 2nd half of THE VALLEY OF FEAR will be NEXT Saturday due to the long weekend. That gives us all more time to finish, too! Have a fabulous and relaxing weekend.

#WeeklyForecast

If I actually read as planned, I‘ll finish a book from my #readyourebooks list, my library hold, my #ThematicCozies (also my #DoubleSpin) & my #ReadOrDonate books. Plus stay up to date with buddy reads for #NoPlaceLikeHolmes , #LittensLoveRomance & #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD

I finally read Part 1 of this week‘s short story. I didn‘t realize that it was already time to start on it. I enjoyed the first part of this story but it took me longer to get through it because there were 7 chapters to listen to and they‘re not short chapters either. I think the chapters are about 20 or 30 minutes long. I started this first part yesterday and only had the last chapter to listen to today. Now, I‘m caught up.

Continue The Valley of Fear #NoPlaceLikeHolmes and Rest is Resistance #SheSaid. It‘s also time to pick up Revelation again #ShardlakeBR

I think I‘ll DNF my current read and start on Headshot #tob25

And then I hope I have time for something else towards the end of the week
