Welcome to Litsy!

The Lego streetscape got set up today, we put up some of the shelves yesterday. I knew exactly where I wanted this extended shelf and what I was putting on it, now the tricky part with the other shelves and where to put them and what on them. The bookshop that is part of this is on a bookshelf with books about bookshops and libraries. As one does

My first Ann Cleeves

I enjoyed this read, including a glimpse of the irascible Vera's family history. Though I would have liked a map to track the action as Vera criss-crossed the countryside!

Can‘t beat a bit of Vera 👍🏻 did not guess baddies at all!

Another winner from Ann Cleeves. Vera is as grumpy and insightful as ever, and the story is compelling. I want to jump right into the next one, but I have book club selections to read! #serieslove2025

When I did my journal #wrapup for March, I remembered I also helped me friends find their new cats. A good development, but it did cut into my reading time.

In any event, here‘s a more realistic #serieslove2025 plan for April. Four books instead of eight. 🤣

After a little trip to Panem, I‘m back in Northumberland with Vera. I spent most of the afternoon washing the bedding and reorganizing my bookcases. As usual, a little tweak turned into an overhaul of half the shelves. It‘s good to just sit and read and eat chicken with snow peas. #hyggehourreadathon
