Welcome to Litsy!

Low pick, only because I do love the Finley Donovan series. The story sets up how Vero meets Finley & her amateur sleuthing skills. If you‘re a FD fan then you might enjoy it. It‘s super short, a little over 2 hours on audio.

This is the Veronica Ruiz origin story of sorts. I don‘t know that it really adds much to the series, but it‘s a light, quick, entertaining read. I didn‘t love the audiobook narrator, though, and I‘m glad the novels are narrated by someone else.

It was a really quick story. Of course, crazy, rich people teach this cat to talk, then when he doesn‘t care about their posturing and says what he wants (basically acts like a cat that can talk), they plan his assassination. Sounds like crazy, rich people everywhere, making this a lovely commentary on everything that is wrong with the upper class.

I‘ve always wanted to read this, since the first time I read For Real. Clearly, it is time.

I continue to love the writing of Claire Keegan and this short volume did not disappoint. It is the story of a disconnected farming family and the secrets that are upended after a series of unexpected events. I don‘t want to say too much to give it away, but again - Keegan‘s masterful at giving voice to the emotions of those working families who are often viewed as stern or lacking in emotion.

Just discovered the Bookstore Sisters. It may not be Sunday evening, but enjoying a #hygge experience on this rainy afternoon in southern CA. 💛 Oh, couldn‘t include the book in the photo because I‘m reading it on my@phone‘s Kindle app 😊

This is a short story collection of Agatha Christie - all Hercule Poirot ones. I especially liked the one of Davenheim because I did have such an unexpected twist at the end and I really like the TV version with David Suchet.

This was a wonderful short read for today! I‘m very much an introvert and frequently time to myself is my happy place, so I found several aspects of this story very relatable. I also loved some of the things it had to say about happiness and contentment, and I laughed several times over the absurdity.
