Welcome to Litsy!

3.5/4⭐️ (between very good and excellent)

I love the premise of this book and I flew through it, however I suspect I would have enjoyed it even more if I knew more about Japanese cuisine. The food descriptions meant nothing to me. The human stories resonated though.

Plot and Engagement: 4 (excellent) Character and Atmosphere: 3 (very good)

This is the first book in the Vancouver Agitators series a hockey romance. This is book is funny, hot and had great characters and dialog. All the ingredients for the perfect rom-com. Loved it! 5 ⭐

This 4th book in the series really focuses on Mma Makutsi, the assistant lady detective. She flexes her entrepreneurial muscles and her love life (or lack thereof) gets examined. Life continues on for Mma Ramotswe and her fiance Mr JLB Matekoni as he returns to work from his illness and they deal with a misbehaving Puso. Mma Ramotswe faces her first competitor in the detective business and she helps a businessman right past wrongs. ⬇️

I have been reading her Princes of Sin series, which is tangentially related, so aside from the fact that I have kind of spoilered myself & I‘m trying to reckon the Princes I know… I liked it, the worldbuilding is good, Emilia‘s depiction of grief was so visceral, Wrath… I‘m not sure about what‘s going on with his motives here -but 🥵. Too much happens at the end, &things that seemed like a big deal fizzled, plenty for the next 2 books to resolve.

This is a wintery novella that left me shaking my head🤦‍♀️A meteorologist predicts the storm of the century but no one will believe her. She needs data but her equipment is broken. She asks the local science teacher to help fix her computer. But as it starts to snow…they get distracted with each other. Forget about the incoming storm let‘s get it on! So ridiculous. The writing and story could have used some major work.

I really enjoyed this #AtoZReadathon challenge, just 4 away from a full set! I'll tag my reads in the comments. It's been a great month with some fantastic reads. Thank you for hosting @Texreader

I‘m going on some long drives mostly for work for the next week. So I‘ve stocked up on audiobooks. When I‘ve finished the tagged book I‘m jumping back into the picks by @CSeydel for #trappedinaspookyhouse since I‘ll be trapped in my car for hours. They‘ll also work for #letterA and #letterK for #halloweenatoz

One of my favorite Zapata books. The only one I like better is The Wall of Winnipeg and Me. Great plot and characters. Fabulous prose and that slow burn to die for me. I wish every book I read gave all the feels like this. 5⭐️ all year long!

Di Franco writes a narrative that is empowering for kids with the message that everyone is different but everyone knows how connected we are. I loved the illustrations! #PictureBook #BBRC #LetterK
