Welcome to Litsy!

This is the final book in The Spellman Files and a satisfying conclusion. I‘m both happy and sad to have finished it. I will miss Izzy and the rest of this dysfunctional detective family, Spellmans and non-Spellmans alike. #seriescatchup #completed

Another round of catch up. All of these are picks. Disclaimer: I‘m generous with stars and picks. 🙂

The Map - It was fun to visit with Jackaby and Abigail again.

Liar Liar - Helen Grace series # 4 Maybe not as strong as the first three, but still good.

S is for Silence (audio) - reread

Crippen - I enjoyed this historical murder mystery loosely based on real events.

Love Story, with Murders - Fiona has become a fave! #seriescatchup

As mentioned in my last post, life has been busy so I‘m also way behind (so behind!) on reviews. I listened to all of these on audio over the last several months and they were all picks!

R is for Ricochet - reread

HP book 4 & 5 - rereads

A Gathering of Secrets - A favorite series
#seriescatchup

An Artless Demise - I love this series!#seriescatchup

I‘m not ready to say goodbye to Charley (and maybe, just maybe we‘ll see her and beep again someday)... but boy did Darynda Jones have me going at times... so little I can say without giving away any spoilers... so bittersweet to say goodbye.

It's been...five years(?) since I read the first one, but you don't really need to in order to read this. It would give you context for the characters, but the story is almost completely separate from Willy Wonka's factory. The narration on this one was great. I enjoyed the story as well, but it felt a little more disjointed than the first book. I can see how it probably inspired Douglas Adams in HGttG. Overall, a fun little book. First of 2019!

I'm calling it on 2018! I know this picture is hard to read, but these are the challenges I completed this year. By complete, I mean I reached my goals. I may have stretched the requirements a bit. I might post about the incomplete ones tomorrow--undecided. Pretty successful year, although not as successful as I'd originally planned. #seriescatchup #readaroundtheworld #IdRatherBeReading #nonfiction2018

While firefighters are battling wildfires in Glacier National Park, they uncover the bones of a body. Monty, a park police officer, and Gretchen, a CSI, begin investigating, but the case is overshadowed by the search for a missing teen. I enjoy the characters and story, but I especially enjoy the setting of this series. #seriescatchup

Here is my crazy conglomeration of progress lists from my reading journal with updates from February! It didn‘t feel like a very successful month, but the book says otherwise! 17 books: 5 audio, 8 GN, 2 ARCs, 1 reread, and 1 Shakespeare. And I double counted some on challenges, so: 1 #ShakespeareReadalong ; 4 #seriescatchup ; 2 #readaroundtheworld ; 8 #LitsyAtoZ ; 1 #nonfiction2018 ; 4 #litsyreadingchallenge ; 1 #IdRatherBeReading ; 2 #ReadHarder

I forgot to post my reading journal lists to show how much progress I made in January! I have a separate little book where I just record the books I‘ve read each month—18 in January: 11 graphic novels, 4 audiobooks, 3 print, all for public challenges and personal goals! #poetrychallenge #seriescatchup #readaroundtheworld #ireland #iceland #canada #LitsyAtoZ #nonfiction2018 #litsyreadingchallenge #IdRatherBeReading #ReadHarder #netgalley

Working my way through this series on my book delivery routes! #seriescatchup
