Welcome to Litsy!

#BookspinBingo March 2025. The tagged book is my #FoodAndLit Ireland pick.

The I cannot resist a weird vintage Christie cover. These two are from the 1970s. I picked them up at a used bookstore yesterday.
I like the tagged one (the next #christiescapers buddy read) but the bright red lips on the Taken at the Flood is a little off putting.

Not sure when I initially read this (way before I was on Goodreads) but this re-read has not gone well. It's very slow & whilst Lincoln is fine, there's just something about Amelia I don't like. It finally hit me about 10 mins ago that she doesn't come across as an authentic character but very much a male author's idea of a female character. DNF.

I set this aside to pivot to African American authors in February. For March my #serieslove2025 reading will focus on women authors.

This was a melancholy story about murder and family obligations. Vera is growing on me.

The bingo gods were not with me for this month‘s #bookspinbingo! I did get bingo, but look at all those almost ones!!

That‘s what I get for reading my feelings more than ever in February. At least I finished by #bookspin book

Can‘t decide how I feel about this one. It‘s got to be frustrating to not be able to get justice for such a heinous crime. But the author‘s writing style annoyed me at times. And the audiobook reader had a lisp (have never experienced that before), so that was distracting to me.

Finished in February. Behind already on the Agatha Christie reread. I tried to go into this one thinking good thoughts about Hastings but I just can‘t stand him. He thinks he‘s so clever and he‘s really not.

I had been looking forward to reading this for so long! It is set in Ireland, and the story centers on an archeological dig and the woods next to it. The woods, which really described vividly, were my favorite part.

It was disappointing to realize that I wanted to bail around a third of the way in, but I thought certainly this thriller would develop more tension and excitement. Nope!

And Then There Were None Retelling 🔪
