Welcome to Litsy!

I hope everyone who wanted to participate was able to enjoy a nice cozy mystery as we head into winter for the #OhCanada read. This is a light discussion on thoughts about the series and/or author.

A reminder that many read different books in the series so no spoilers please.

My #bookhaul 📚 between gifts (left) and thrifted (right) when we went out on Boxing Day. My plan is to spend NYD rearranging my bookshelves to make room 😅

We visited Montreal last month, and this was one of my choices for a literary souvenir. I've not read Gallant before, but I liked these tremendously and will be looking for more!

I loved Heated Rivalry and somehow was not prepared to once again be blown away by The Long Game! Ilya and Shane are just chef kiss perfection 😍 and my boy llya is going into the hall of fame of book boyfriends🙌🏾 I adored so many elements in this book but my top was llya relationship with Yuna and David. It was just so sweet seeing him welcomed as second son❤️ I‘m obsessed and will be patiently waiting for season 2.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Heartbreaking, riveting, with multilayered characters, elegant writing.The price of justice.Unveiling of dark secrets, 1995 Srebrenica massacre.
War criminal & general based on:

I see now why so many love this book! The word I keep coming back to is Charming. The village, charming, the story (in its way) charming, Matthew , charming, Anne, charming! I had to put myself firmly in the 1908 Canada frame of mind (what do you mean send the orphan back??) I loved that Anne was nurtured so well by the whole village and that we get to see so much growth in her in the first book. I thought her anger at Gilbert was insane! 👇

I'm not quite as enamoured with Three Pines as so many are, but I always find a Gamache book compelling. And that was certainly the case here, as many threads from the earlier books all get woven together and the picture revealed here (quite dramatically).

Low pick. This series is either starting to jump the shark or Louise Penny has her finger on the pulse of what is going to happen between the US and Canada. Who knows these days. Either way this was not the hopeful cozy mystery I was looking for and it took me a long time to read. Also one nitpick- I can‘t believe so many educated people including a librarian wouldn‘t know the story line to Animal Farm.
