Welcome to Litsy!

This was a sweet little book but I didn't really like how it ended

Princess Elizabeth has become the Queen of England, and we meet her and other characters at Sandringham House.

What a lovely bustling place to be.

A lovely, lovely storyline, wonderful behind-the-scenes information about the Royals, and a beautiful read all around. 5/5

This fun little book convinced me to stay in bed for an extra hour this morning. I like this series about Queen Elizabeth solving crimes in the most proper way, and I‘m glad the author found a way to keep it going.

Yet another Wednesday, yet another cocktail + book! I really enjoy having an evening just to decompress with good food, good drink, and a good read. This week, the cocktail is from their holiday menu and called the Ron Burgundy (scotch, apricot brandy, cinnamon, lemon, and a float of Pinot Noir). Perfect for a cold December evening!

Beloved — print. Determined to finish this weekend.
A Death in Diamonds —audio
Everything is Tuberculosis — ebook
Men Who Hate Women
Different Seasons — audio. Not pictured. It‘s my walking book.

Another Wednesday, another book + cocktail photo during Mama‘s Night Out! This week it‘s The Gown (I‘m apparently in my historical fiction era this month) and the Apples & Oranges which is a fall themed Moscow mule!

I loved seeing a more personal side of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip. The author did a wonderful job of bringing warmth and humanity to these iconic figures. I enjoyed how a touching love story was woven throughout the novel.Christmas is my favorite time of year,& I loved reading about how the Royal Family celebrated it across different years.This book beautifully captures both royal tradition &the timeless spirit of Christmas.

9-23-25: My 63rd finished book of 2025! Book 4 in the series, this one goes back in time to the late 1950s. HM Elizabeth II is in the midst of a lot of traveling to other countries when in her own backyard, there is a double murder and the police can‘t seem to figure it out. After enlisting Joan, a typist, she finally has someone to bounce her ideas off to. Joan is sent around to find clues that the cops keep overlooking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣6️⃣3️⃣
