Welcome to Litsy!

I actually almost bailed on this one and kind of wish I had. Lauren was literally a bitch for no reason for about a third of this book. She was SO rude, self-absorbed, and obnoxious. Will is DOING YOU A FAVOR and you're treating him like trash because of something he said to you when he was stupid drunk ten years ago that he doesn't even remember??? Wow, you're right, that makes you the mature one who has definitely worked through your issues 🙄 ⬇

This is one if my favorite cozy series. Meg's cousin has started a podcast about cold cases. When his cohost is almost run over, they suspect the cause is one if the close to home cases they featured. So they enlist Meg to investigate. During this, we do get treated to the usual chaos of Meg's family as they prepare for her brother's wedding.

I reread this childhood favorite as I found it in my closet while cleaning. Based on the real real pony penning that takes place, it's a story of hope and believing from 2 children who do what adults couldn't. After my reread, I'm going to pass this old battered copy to my niece.

A delightful cozy mystery! I loved the way the feisty main character, Mia, speaks her mind and never compromises her principles. Set in Salem, Massachusetts, which sounds like a fun and funky town. I have added it to my travel bucket list! This was the first in a series, and I look forward to reading more.
Thanks @Allylu for another great pic for #TrappedOnAnIsland! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Even though #Washington was the only new state I visited in September for #RoadTripUSA2022, it was a remarkable trip!

Bridgeside books: thanks for the recommendation! Read this little page turner during a camping trip just outside Waterbury where this takes place! Vermont ideals, characters who are real, in a story that could have been me or the person next door. There‘s a moment when a beloved pet gets lost, definitely understand the terror from how much owners love their pets here!!! Finished this in less than a day. Great read!

A multi-layered, and ultimately hopeful, story about the many ways generations of secret-keeping can affect families. Set in Savannah, Georgia, with a particular appreciation of the Gullah culture, the South itself feels like one of the characters. Told from multiple points of view, and with a diverse cast of characters, the topic of race relations is handled in a way that feels authentic. Quirky characters and a few resident ghosts add humor ⬇️

Adorable and fun, with just enough snark. Everything I want in a romcom!

I absolutely love the Kate Burkholder series, and book 14 did not disappoint! I'm always a bit sad when Kate's investigations take her away from Painter's Creek and the crew we have gotten to know there, but really, it makes sense since how many murderous Amish can there really be in one small town?? 😂 It's not absolutely necessary to read this series in order, but I highly recommend it, as Kate's backstory and character are developed so well⬇️

July was a busy travel month. Five new states! Delaware was the most enjoyable. Colorado was the most thought-provoking.
