Welcome to Litsy!

First book of the year for me: the 4th in the Sloan Krause nanobrewery series - Sloan is continuing with her sleuthing, learning more about her past, and moving on to the next chapter in her life, post-Mac...

Well, it‘s official: I am glad that I was not born into an empire of any kind and that I am not a billionaire. 😬Shout out to my accountant dad and bank manager mom for raising me with love and security and obscurity, and to all my household bills that require my attention like a normal person.

Still, I do love me some rich-folk drama in my reading life! Felt the author was getting judgy by the end, but overall just well-told good dirt here.

Another tour de force from Des

Literally “Beer hikes in France“. Bought for the beer drinker in my life. Written by a Swiss couple who class anything that lasts 3 hours or less as a leisurely walk 😱; distances under 18km are hikes; and treks are more difficult and over 18km. Walks' descriptions are very wordy, and maps are not provided (just refs to the French equivalent to Ordnance Survey maps). It's good as a stepping-off point.

The beer's a-bubblin'

I made a batch of homebrew last weekend. My first attempt in Colorado turned out really well 🍺. Trying a tripel this time. The recipe was a little off, so I had to make some adjustments, but I'm hopeful for a good brew🤞3 months is a long time to wait to find out, though 😬

I always enjoy the Sloan Krause mysteries, and even this short novella didn't disappoint! Sloan and Garrett are looking forward to the spring farmer's market and working on some collaborations with local businesses, a couple of infuencers, and the beer they brew at Nitro. When a visiting hiker dies at the local hostel, though, Sloan and Garrett help Chief Meyers figure out what happened.

I love the Sloan Krause mystery series, so this one set in the springtime at the spring farmer's market seems like the perfect book for April!

Hi all!! Just checking in to let everyone know I‘m alive! After spending most of the long weekend (and very cold weather!) buried in research I am taking a couple of hours for self-care in the form of a book, drink, and a hot bath. I miss you all terribly and hope you‘re all doing well!! The end of this doctoral program can‘t come soon enough!
