Welcome to Litsy!

“I have met people who enjoy a channel crossing: men who can sit calmly in their deck-chairs and, on arrival, wait until the boat is moored, then gather their belongings together without fuss and disembark.“

I try to be this person when traveling because I hate the stress of everyone jamming the exits on planes, trains, and ships. I wait until the end unless a short transfer forces me to be one of the crazies.

I just got on kindle for 85p. @dabbe has just read and reviewed it , and being Ruth Rendell fan , I just purchased.

Another excellent book. This one focused on themes of family. How lucky is Mma Ramotswe, to be married to a man as good-hearted as Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni? I love those two.
For anyone curious to try Mma Ramotswe‘s red bush tea, I Googled it and came up with rooibos tea, which I found at my supermarket. I like it. My box is by Twinings. ⬇️

Very sweet, want to read more.

Really enjoyed this one.

In the summer of 1958, the murders that would come to be known as the “Bloodless Murders” or the “Dracula Murders” swept through the Midwest, beginning in Nebraska and sawing through Iowa and Wisconsin before turning back to my hometown of Black Deer Falls, Minnesota.

I really enjoyed the book so I‘m excited for the adaptation - such a stellar cast!

This was an overly complex story, with shifting timelines and POVs… for a lacklustre ending. To build up for that long, only to have a meh reaction, I clearly missed something.

Too hyped in my opinion.

This is a very enjoyable series set in Kent and the dungeness coast. DI Alex Culpidi is on sick leave after the events of the last few books but becomes curious about the murder of a couple in a local house. As she is dragged into the investigation, she quickly becomes at risk herself as it also involves historic events covered up by her close friend.

As usual, lots of past actions are the cause of the current mystery. Trying to suss them out is the trick.
