Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m sad and hangry today (but it‘s nothing to what I‘ll be later tonight since I‘ve got a colonoscopy tomorrow) so I picked up a book that‘s been on my shelf forever. In fact, there was an unopened card in it from a Secret Santa from an email list serv that hasn‘t existed in decades! That did make me crack a small smile, remembering when I was too young for colonoscopies. 😂

Kim suggests a great summer read on Book Interrupted‘s Manuscript Monday.

Started this book for June #BookClub. Borrowed it on #Libby. So far, once we got to the housekeeping part, it got better and in a better flow, even the romance has appeared.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book but wished I knew it was no7 of the series . When I picked this book up I don‘t realise that it was part of series until I started reading it. I will definitely go back to the start of the series to find out the references to the earlier books. It also ends leading into the next book with a lot of questions which I find a little frustrating but will read it to find out

I read all the shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella. I loved that series as a fun read. This book definitely had her tone. It wasn‘t my favorite but I did like it. I read it quickly and had a couple thought provoking quips. I wouldn‘t reread it but I‘m glad I picked it up from the library.

In ‘22, I finally read the first and last book in this series, so looking at my paperbacks and inspired by the yellow binding, I went for book #3. This series began 20 years ago, but for its genre, I think the series stands the test of time and I‘m entertained reading it now, even when Becky makes her life way more complicated than need be.

Becky was finally more mature and I liked her in this installment. Becky's mother & Janice have usually been much more fun so it was a bit disappointing in this one.

I was so annoyed with Tarkie & Graham who couldn't tell what they were doing or where they were. I think the meaning was to keep this somehow mysterious but I was only annoyed. I never understood their reason not to tell. But overall this one was a light adventure.
