Welcome to Litsy!

Lots of rereading in January for comfort, but at least I made #SeriesLove progress in the Discworld Witches books.

Looking forward to the new books (Christmas & NY gifts) I'm reading this month!

The mayor has imprisoned every non-human being, and Jackaby bails them out, squeezing every last one of them into his house. And it‘s a good thing, because he might need all of these magical beings to fight the Dire King and his own hoard of baddies. This is a complex “end” to this series, with new characters and lots of battle scenes, which I found boring and hard to follow in an audiobook. Turns out there is another book to the series, Rook, ⬇️

February #Roll100 picks
I'm genuinely excited to read all of these right now! I'm gonna prioritize Six of Crows cause it's been on my list the longest and try to read at least one more this month

3✨ This did not capture me as much as Anne of Green Gables did, but it still had a lot of dialogue providing food for thought. I really like that she made connections with others that use their imagination to survive the sad and painful parts of life. #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

The search for the killer of Jenny, the resident ghost murdered 10 years ago, takes Jackaby and Abby to new and scary depths. In undertaking the task, they learn that something evil has been collecting the best scientists of their time (late 1800s) to build the future—without humans. Ending in a cliffhanger, be prepared to read the last book in the series as soon as this one‘s finished. #serieslove @TheSpineView @Andrew65 #litsyatoz #letterG

I‘m finishing this series, the third book ending in quite a cliffhanger. #serieslove @TheSpineView @Andrew65 #litsyatoz #letterD

I‘m starting this audiobook today. #litsyatoz #letterG #serieslove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

I‘m spending a very quiet night reading this book, book 1 of a series set in Venice, recommended by my father-in-law. I really like the author‘s writing style. I‘m hoping it will be the start of a love affair with a new series! #serieslove #foodandlit #ItalyJubilee @Catsandbooks @TheSpineView @Andrew65

This was a sweet cozy mystery. It was fun to be part of the animals‘ woodland world, and the mystery kept me guessing. First in a series, and I will read more.

Like several other Littens, I chose this book as my January #ThematicCozies #Animal pick.

Thank you, @Chrissyreadit for sending this to me as a swap gift! 💙

Amateur detective Wimsey‘s brother the Duke has been arrested for the murder of their sister‘s fiancée. The duke, the sister, the fiancée, some couples, the hired help are all at a hunting lodge when a gunshot is heard in the middle of the night. It turns out all the suspicious parties, including the deceased, have very big secrets. An excellent detailed investigation but I wasn‘t too pleased with the resolution. It felt contrived so the ⬇️
