Welcome to Litsy!

#TLT #threelistthursday three things I love about school 1. Every day is different this is doubly/triply true for me because I‘m a supply/occasional teacher by choice 2. I work at the same school all the time now and I often tell the teachers I will plan an art lesson for them ( lessen their work load) 3. The kids think I‘m actually the school art teacher ( if only that job existed) I post the art we do on my IG acc‘t with the same name @mcctrish

This was so good! Historical mystery set in Victorian England with a serial killer, an inspector with a troubling past, and a female doctor. Well written and captivating.

Trigger warnings for graphic murder scenes, child abuse and violence, and violence toward women

Well…this seems spot on for today‘s climate…

“‘One accusation is off the mark. Foreigners aren‘t the ‘criminal contagion‘ so many claim. As a policeman, I can attest to that. It takes a lot to leave your home. To start life over in a new place requires courage. It takes energy and ambition.‘”

This book takes place in 1866. The MCs fight against a prejudicial society in the UK. Very timely indeed.

Another excellent book in a good series.
Mycroft receives a diagnosis that makes it hard to justify his hopes for a family, and he tries to help Sherlock develop empathy by tasking him with teaching the boys at Douglas‘s school which leads to Sherlock developing his sleuthing skills as one of the boys mysteriously dies.
4.5/5 read for a fun and historic story with background for Sherlock Holmes and his brother.

Another series caught up with. I love this series. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

I read a lot in July, I started the Lumberjanes GNs that month. I love the Lady Sherlock series, so the tagged wins out for the month. #12booksof2024 @Andrew65

This was my August #bookspin pick that I finished in September. Great historical queer romance. Miles & Charlie's romance starts as purely physical yet morphs into more. Miles is hesitant to catch feelings, terrified of being caught because of a past relationship. Charlie is in an engagement set up by his parents that he's desperate to escape. There is a great queer community that works together to get these two their happy ending

Brilliant! This is the most complicated operation Charlotte and her lovable team have ever executed. I‘d never be able to guess all the moving parts and it made it thrilling to the end. If you haven‘t read other books you may get lost because many characters from the past resurface. She does a good job with reminders without interrupting the book, but if this is your 1st one you‘d be overwhelmed. But for the rest of us it‘s amazing!💗 this series!
