One day late due to Litsy posting problems yesterday. 😭
1. Seeing an albino peacock at our local nursery. 🦚
2. Planting our new rose bush. 🥀
3. Pip the Destructor. She was bored and wanted her bag of treats. 🤣🐾🤣
4. Made plan reservations to annoy @TheLudicReader with my presence this summer! ♥️🇨🇦🤍
5. My loves. Where would I be without them. 💙🩵💙

dabbe #woohoo for #5 and for all your joys! 🩵💙🩵 1mo
Lesliereadsalot Thanks! I know you play too. Do you play Strands? @dabbe 1mo
dabbe @Lesliereadsalot I do! My puzzle routine is the following: NYT: Mini crossword, main crossword, Letter Boxed, Spelling Bee, Wordle, Strands, Connections.

I also play Waffle, The Daily Set, and Quiddler. What all do you play? 💚🧩💚

Lesliereadsalot I only do the main puzzle on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I do the mini. Don‘t play letter boxed but my daughter does. I do the sudokus in my local paper when they‘re at a hard level. Also the two Jumbles every day. I play Words with Friends with a handful of friends. Will try your other three suggestions! @dabbe 1mo
Lesliereadsalot Waffle is fun! @dabbe 1mo
Lesliereadsalot I‘m looking for a daily or weekly Ken Ken. Do you know of any? When I occasionally get the physical Sunday NYT, there‘s one in the magazine section. Do you get Puzzlemania in December? @dabbe 1mo
kspenmoll Food & puzzles! ❤️ 1mo
Lesliereadsalot The best right? @kspenmoll 1mo
MemoirsForMe Yay Wordle! I also do Strands, Connections and the Mini puzzle daily. Gotta keep the brain active! ☺️ 1mo
Lesliereadsalot Same! Plus Spelling Bee. @MemoirsForMe (edited) 1mo

Completed this book for #BookedinTime (Tudor England). I enjoyed the writing style and the story. Although I‘m not sure if I‘m invested enough in the character of Shardlake to continue on with the series. Maybe I‘m a bit curious to see how he fares now that his rose-colored glasses about Cromwell and the Reformation have been removed.

@Cuilin @dabbe

TiredLibrarian I'd try the next one, but I'm biased because I loved this series! 3mo
Andrew65 I feel this series only gets better after the first one. Like you I wasn‘t sure about continuing, in fact was a few years before I did. It became a favourite series. 3mo
Cuilin I‘ll try the next one if you do. 😆 3mo

Butterfinger I really enjoyed the adaptation. 3mo
Ruthiella I am with @TiredLibrarian and @Andrew65 . The series is well worth continuing. 3mo
dabbe Like everyone said the books only get better. Shardlake's character grows in such complexity, and Henry VIII actually comes into the books as well as other royals. 🩶🖤🩶 3mo
Amiable @TiredLibrarian @andrew65 @ruthiella @dabbe If you say the series gets better, then I‘ll give the next one a go! I thought Louise Penny‘s 1st book was an okay read, and I‘m very glad I continued on with that series. 3mo
Amiable @Butterfinger What was that on? I‘m not aware of the adaptation. 3mo
Amiable @Cuilin I think they all convinced me to proceed! The peer pressure of fellow Litsy readers is too much to resist. 😀 #blameitonLitsy 3mo
Daisey I‘ll add to the list of people saying the series gets better! I think the second book is actually my favorite. 3mo
Cuilin @Amiable Let‘s go. (I blame most of my reading habits on Litsy, Lol). 3mo
Cuilin @dabbe 💜 3mo
Andrew65 @dabbe Not seen that but no doubt good if Sean Bean is in it. 3mo
Andrew65 @Amiable Sometimes it takes series 2 or 3 books to really get going then you are totally hooked. 3mo
Amiable @Cuilin I need to get through “Anna Karenina” before I embark on a series. I just reached Part 6. I‘m getting there! Slowly. 3mo
Amiable @dabbe Interesting! I will put it on my list of shows-to-watch. My husband and I are making our way through “The Sopranos” —we never watched it when it originally aired. Now we‘re halfway through season 5. 3mo
dabbe @Amiable 🤩🤩🤩 3mo
Cuilin @Amiable oh no worries. I know you‘ve been busy lately. Just let me know when you‘re good to start and we can do it together. 3mo
Amiable @Cuilin ❤️ 3mo

When Crickets Cry | Charles Martin

#ReadYourKindle
I‘m going to try a new challenge this year thanks to @dabbe and @CBee
Thanks for letting me join @CBee
I‘ll start with When Crickets Cry

CBee Welcome! Glad to have you. The Scarpetta books are what got me hooked on the mystery/thriller genre - I started reading them in high school. There‘s a Scarpetta series coming with Nicole Kidman playing her 👏🏻 4mo
tpixie @CBee I‘ve enjoyed the Scarpetta series. There were a few in the middle where everyone was a little too dysfunctional, but I do enjoy the mysteries. I‘m so excited to hear about the series! 4mo
CBee @tpixie see, I like dysfunctional sometimes 😂😂 But I know what you mean. I‘m excited about the series too! 4mo
See All 25 Comments
dabbe @CBee @tpixie Kidman as Scarpetta? Count me in!!! 🤩🤗🤩 4mo
dabbe 🩶🖤🩶 4mo
tpixie @dabbe @CBee 🥳🥳🥳 (edited) 4mo
DogMomIrene @CBee You are freaking me out! I loved the early Scarpetta, but stopped reading when she changed PoV in her writing. Have they gotten better again? Because I may need to pick this series up again with NK playing KS! 4mo
CBee @DogMomIrene honestly I haven‘t continued the series, I read all of the earlier ones but none of the new-ish ones. BUT I will happily watch Nicole Kidman play, I don‘t know, a crazed blowfish or something - as I love her that much 😂😂😂 She could play anything or do anything and I‘d watch it ♥️ (edited) 4mo
CBee @dabbe RIGHT?!? I‘m so stoked. 4mo
CBee @tpixie also, Jamie Lee Curtis is in it. And I adore her. @dabbe @DogMomIrene 4mo
tpixie @DogMomIrene I think they‘ve gotten better since the ones in the middle. I can‘t remember which one I read that I started enjoying again more. 4mo
tpixie @CBee Jamie Lee Curtis is amazing 🤩 4mo
DogMomIrene @CBee Have you seen her in The Sticky on Prime I think? It‘s about the great maple syrup heist and she‘s freaking hilarious in it! As Americans living in 🇨🇦 we appreciated her character‘s perspective. 4mo
tpixie @DogMomIrene No! Sounds great! My daughter and I are looking for something else to watch. We‘ll have to look into this. 4mo
DogMomIrene @tpixie Im going to do some internet sleuthing on this one then. Because I‘d love to love her books again! Thanks! 4mo
tpixie @DogMomIrene I love Margo Martindale also- from The Americans 4mo
CBee @DogMomIrene let me know what you find! 4mo
CBee @tpixie I LOVED The Americans!! 4mo
CBee @tpixie check out Black Doves on Netflix. It‘s great and Sarah Lancashire is sort of a “Margo-esque” character in it. Plus Keira Knightley! 4mo
DogMomIrene @tpixie Yes! The Americans was so good. And she‘s sooooo great in The Sticky. The whole thing is just wacky fun. 4mo
DogMomIrene @CBee Will do! I‘m expecting someone has a fan wiki about this series where plenty of people will weigh in with their opinion of which book revived the series. 4mo
CBee @DogMomIrene oh, there has to be something like that 👏🏻👏🏻 4mo
tpixie @CBee @DogMomIrene The Americans was great!! Oh a wiki page- smart idea! I also like Kathy Reichs Temperance Brennon series. Forensic Anthropology (edited) 4mo
tpixie @CBee ok! I‘ll check out Black Doves! 🕊️ 4mo

In the wake of the War of the Roses, the House of Tudor succeeded the Plantagenets. They ruled 118 years from Henry VII to Elizabeth I, succeeded by the Stuarts. The most well known Tudor being Henry VIII, with his six wives, and his daughter Elizabeth I, who reigned for 45 years. I‘m reading book 1 of Shardlake series. You?

rwmg My most likely contender is the next in a series I'm reading intermittently: 4mo
Cuilin @rubyslippersreads I don‘t think any wife of Henry VIII had a good time, but I particularly felt bad for the teenage Catherine Howard. Enjoy. 4mo
Cuilin @rwmg Fabulous, looking forward to your thoughts. 4mo
Mollyanna I‘m in the middle of Revelation with @dabbe and also in the middle of Wolf Hall. Hopefully I can finish Wolf Hall in January. I‘ve read several of Gregory‘s books. They‘re pretty good. 4mo
