Welcome to Litsy!

Hello Litsy!
I know it's been a while since I posted, but it's a combination of the app not working, a broken hip, and a reading slump!
Anyway, this book has helped get me out of the 4 month reading slump, so I recommend it with reservations. The next picture I post will be under a spoiler, as it contains the content warnings.

1. Pineapple, even though it makes my mouth feel weird.
2. The whole Dr. Siri Paiboun series, because Dr. Siri marries a woman who owns a noodle shop in Laos and they often eat noodles together.

Thanks for the tag, @Sace

Slash and Burn is the 8th book in the Dr Siri Paiboun series, and I just love these books. This one had the main characters all together on an away mission, working with a group of Americans, which was a fun change of pace. The humor is right up my alley, the mystical element adds a certain eerie flair, and I always enjoy the 1970s Laos setting. Highly recommend!

I'm enjoying very much this mystery series set in Laos, with its excellent characters and touches of mysticism. In this installment, Dr. Siri Paiboun finds himself sent to a remote location in the mountains to investigate a mysterious death.

So-so with the caveat that part of my issue was with the reader, and I probably would have liked this more in print.

This book features Dr. Siri, a coroner in 1970‘s Laos. The mystery wasn‘t very engaging to me, but I loved the details of Communist Laos in 1977. If I can find a print version of another book in this series I‘ll likely give it a try.

Almost done #ReadingAsia2021

I really enjoyed this second book in the Dr. Siri Paiboun series. The characters are great, the plot is fast-moving and I'm learning about Laotian culture (albeit that of the 1970's when this story is set).

3.25/5 ⭐️ simple picture book from a child's perspective in a Thai refugee camp. I appreciated the author's note at the end about her family.

Whiskey/tea cocktail with a side of Bradbury anyone? #Laos
