Welcome to Litsy!

Today was my last day of work for the year! Now I can stay up late and read. Starting this one now.

One of the best things about a kindle is getting a sample before you buy. The reviews would have me buying this in a heartbeat but I bailed half way through the sample. The writing is poor and I find that the main protagonist is an annoying snob. Should I continue and maybe buy? Is it worth it?

I LOVE it! To say I‘m obsessed at the moment with Xmas stories is an understatement and these are two new to me authors! Can‘t wait to start reading! And the bag is gorgeous. ( Did I tell you that the illustrator of my bag launched her new book at our little indie a few weeks ago and I got to meet her!). Biggest of thanks and hugs to you @DGRachel

This was an interesting read. Benjamin Franklin (yes, that one) spends his free time in London solving crimes. I enjoyed this enough to read more of the series.

Next book.

This is a lighter mystery featuring Cat, who is a journalist with a small town paper. When a famous actor dies on stage during a performance, Cat (who was already doing a piece on him) investigates. The story has humour, parental angst, lots of small town doings and some #metoo drama. I enjoyed it and look forward to the next in the series. Thanks to NetGalley for digital advance reading copy. 3.75/5 stars.

Loved it! I‘m really digging Stevenson‘s writing style.

My morning reading and a mug that knows what's what 🤶

This was my first Stevenson and I had a blast. A short but tense Christmas murder mystery that adheres to the well acknowledged literary rules of such things should be solved.

A cute quick holiday murder mystery. Not as good as the previous 2 as it feels a bit rushed, but a fun read. 3.5⭐️
