Welcome to Litsy!

Bk26 of June & Bk8 of #LittenListen is done! A reread of the 5th Phryne novel on audiobook. I love the audio versions, it gives the books that Aussie flavour, the narrator is perfect. Phryne is dancing with Charles Freeman when a marathon dancer drops dead at her feet. When Charles goes missing, she‘s hired by his mother to find him, which leads to flying her Gypsy Moth into the Victorian Alps looking for his brother. #phryneappreciationclub

I‘m breaking my own rule and starting a series on book 9! I think I can get away with it because I‘m familiar with the series via that TV show that I just love- Ms Fisher‘s Murder Mysteries. This is an ARC I‘m woefully behind on. I‘m hoping to clear my mystery ARCs on NetGalley this month. Only a few pages in and I recognize the familiar jaunty tone, lush visual descriptions of costumes and clothes and many men to keep Ms Fisher entertained.

My #NovelNovember wrap up from yesterday. I hit all 3 goals which was awesome! I managed:

🤓 2 NF books for #NFN20
📚 2 books for #ProgressItNovember &
⏱ Over 24hrs of reading time (surpassed that one by a little bit!🤏

Thanks again to our marvellous host @Andrew65 as always.🙌

Bk4 of #NovelNovember #Bk2 of #ProgressItNovember is done! I‘ve been waiting 7yrs for the 21st Phryne mystery, while it took a few chapters to get going, it didn‘t disappoint. Phryne & Dot travel to Daylesford in Victoria‘s alpine country to inspect a spa looking after shell shocked soldiers, a cause close to Miss Fishers heart. Doesn‘t take long for murder & mystery appear. Meanwhile, Jane, Ruth & Tinker get involved in the death of a classmate.

Next up in both #NovelNovember & #ProgressItNovember is the latest Phryne Fisher novel. About time too! It‘s been 7yrs since the last one, I was losing hope. Phryne has been invited to a Spa in Hepburn Springs by a Captain Herbert Spencer, a spa that‘s for soldiers with shell shock. Intrigued, she arrives with Dot but is immediately in the middle of disappearing women & murder. Sounds good so far, plus another amazing cover #PhryneAppreciationClub

June 1st 2021 - New Phryne Fisher! It's been 7 years since the last one. I'M SO HAPPY!"

Another book down in my #PhryneMarathon this one being very apropos right now considering the fact NSW is currently underwater! Australia, burning one day, drowning the next🤿 And of course, my roof is leaking and I now have a lovely crop of black mould in my foyer. Wonderful. At least the book was great, Phryne & Dot take a case that brings them on a cruise ship to New Zealand in chase of a jewel thief. Hijinks ensue.☺️ #phryneappreciationclub

14 down & 6 to go in my #PhryneMarathon I keep forgetting how many books there are, though I‘d love a few more Ms Greenwood! One can never have too much Phryne💃🏻This one had a bit more of her backstory, with a bit of the Orkneys woven in, plus it brings Ruth‘s history into it(though Phryne certainly gets around doesn‘t she?😉)Another wonderful read. #phryneappreciationclub

Next book done in my #PhryneMarathon One of my faves coz not only is there so much of Phryne‘s backstory, there‘s a heap of Bert & Cec, my two favourite wharfies. I love how the author weaves real people into Phrynes story, there were so many characters in Paris after WWI, like Dolly Wilde, Oscar Wilde‘s sister & all those artists in Montmartre(making P into an artists model was inspired)I would‘ve loved to be a part of that talented, crazy bunch!
