Welcome to Litsy!

#Read2025

One of my #Roll100 Feb picks (#82 Any Non-Fiction) & also a #BlameItOnLitsy rec from @Kitta (on one of my posts about The Art Thief she recommended this one in the museum theft true crime genre). In this case a 20-year-old American flautist & fly-tying enthusiast steals 299 rare bird skins from a UK museum. I‘d have thought all the detail on fly-tying would have bored me but I found it & the crime fascinating. It reads like fiction.

You know it‘s become a weekly habit for more than you when the airport barista knows your name & starts looking for your mobile order when they see you walk up. 😆
Headed to Hilo for the day.

I think I‘ll be able to finish the tagged book on my flights. It‘s pretty interesting & I‘m learning about the #WeirdLove & obsession some people have for feathers & the Victorian art of salmon fly-tying. 🎣

A little late posting my February #Roll100 picks but here goes:

#60 Any Retelling (of Sense and Sensibility-also reading for #Pemberlittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow ) Would work for #6 Any Kindle too since it‘s been in my Kindle TBR a while.

#42 Any Mystery (also reading as part of @JacqMac ‘s #AuldLangSpine list)

#82 Any Non-Fiction (a library e-book loan)

I‘m excited about all 3 of these! 📚

I enjoyed this more than I expected!

Two really excellent books involving a #Heist .

My January choice for #12Booksof2023

It took a while to get into. Once I did though, I found the heist to be fascinating.

Has been on my TBR List for a while. Finally, got around to reading it. I didn't care for it. If I was a fly fisherman I would have liked it better.

A coworker loaned me her copy of this book. I was immediately sucked in to this story. A musician who plays the flute steals exotic and colorful birds from a natural history museum. Add fly fishing lures and you've got a page-turner that sucked me in. Loved the info regarding the birds and the history of feathers in fashion and in sport.

My first finish for #joyousjanuary

This is the story of a musician who was an avid fly-tyer (think fishing). He was so obsessed with the hobby and the lack of exotic bird feathers that he broke into the Natural History Museum at Tring to steal bird skins.

The author does a good job of briefly explaining the history of exotic birds before getting into the central story. Surprisingly riveting.

The narrator did a wonderful job.
