Welcome to Litsy!

#FridayHappyReadingHour is here in my house 🥳🥂🙌 Drinking Chateau Ste. Michelle ‘Light‘ Chardonnay & eating some Wheat Thins. I gotta say, Book 5 in the Brighton Series from Elly Griffiths might just be my favorite (tagged). I feel like she found her groove with the characters. Tag yourself with what you‘re drinking, snacking on, and reading to welcome the weekend. Cheers, friends!!🥂🍻🍾

No #SundayScaries here 🤩😌 One more day with my parents and then back home to reality tomorrow. I‘m enjoying this book (tagged here) but more so as a snacky “Cheeze-It” read. Nothing fancy, not mind blowing, but a good read 😊

I‘m not sure what all happened this month that I only finished four books, but in any case the tagged book was my favorite. #wrapup

I wasn‘t expecting to read this in May, but it became available after having been hard to find for months. So I read it in three days! It would have been two, but I was tired after a long day.

This is the seventh book in a series I started reading years ago for #whodunnitbymail back in the day. Thanks to @PatriciaU for suggesting that first book!

While this series has the “bones” to continue, I got strong conclusion vibes.

This is a direct sequel to The Satsuma Complex which I enjoyed very much. Unfortunately, Bob‘s shtick didn‘t work so well for me here. A smile or two, but no laughs and the story wasn‘t strong enough to make up for it. Not bad, but definitely disappointing.

Chemicals are not balanced at the pool today, so I guess I‘m gonna sit outside, watch the birds, drink more coffee and read this rather entertaining book instead.

2024 Reads Continued
WYWD - a Quick Reads featuring Roy Grace.

PYD - 18 in the Roy Grace Series. Always enjoy these British Crime novels, this one about art theft and forgeries.

MITC - not as long as her previous novel and the formula remains the same. Romantic thriller.

TSID - Ingenious British crime novel no2 that's shaping to be a very good series.

#serieslove2024 I didn‘t read any Peter James last year so I thought it was high time to check one out again . Roy Grace is on the case of a rapist with a fetish for women in designer high heels .Roy wonders if there are more than one perpetrator and if it links back to an old case that was never solved . A Page Turner!

#BookSerendipity Close to the end of Mercury, just starting Dead Like You , both have a character named Jade!

After the events of the last book, Emma and Sam decided to start a detective agency, and their first case is a doozy. I found the parallel investigations of the police and the detective agency to be a little repetitive, but I liked the story otherwise. I‘d thought it was the last in the series, but Goodreads tells me there‘s at least one more. I‘m glad, because this one opens up some interesting threads for the main characters. #serieslove2024
