Welcome to Litsy!

Although I loved a number of Kurt Vonnegut‘s ideals, I needed a break. In the last book I listened to, he became quite repetitive, dark, and preachy. So this is my next audiobook instead. Dark, yes, but I‘m not anticipating being lectured to.

Chief Inspector Gamache is called yet again when a dead body is found in Olivier‘s cafe in Three Pines, which has undergone a huge change. City dwellers have purchased the old Hadley house, aiming to turn the haunted place into a luxury B&B. Olivier immediately becomes the main suspect of killing the poor old man in his cafe. It takes the detectives an immense amount of time to even discover who the man was, much less his murderer. This fifth ⬇️

My next audiobook. Fifth in the series. #serieslove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

4.5⭐️ Really liked this book despite its horrific history that it deals with. I would have loved to rate this book much higher, if only the author had included an author‘s note at the conclusion of the book. I can guarantee you that most Canadians don‘t really know about the Duplessis Orphans. #2025 #canadianfiction #fiction #quebec #historicalfiction

There is nothing better than a weekend with few responsibilities and some terrific books.

Easily half of my reading is from the mystery genre, so it‘s hard to pick a favorite. I‘ll lean on an author I love and my favorite from the ongoing series. It‘s several mysteries in the same book! #sundayfunday

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT YOU is my penultimate book from this year‘s Canada Reads Longlist, and it‘s yet another I‘d like to see jump to the shortlist in a year or two. While I can‘t say there‘s anything truly unexpected in the story, Chacour draws the reader into his characters‘ world so completely that I forget I know pretty well what‘s coming. And hey, I‘ve still got 80 pages or so left, so he might surprise me!

Grandfathers surname not found. Grandmothers surname FOUND.

This week‘s library haul includes horror, romance, fantasy, poetry, and general fiction. Good times.
