Welcome to Litsy!

#AllergictoChunksters inspired me to tackle The Last Magician again - I started it 2 years ago, and didn‘t make it very far. I was determined to get through it because, as you can see, I had slowly collected the rest of the series.

Ugh, I just can‘t do it y‘all. I reached page 100 this morning and called it quits. Turned it into a #ReadORDonate situation. My local library will be getting these to sell or loan out to other readers. #hailthebail

Time travel without a DeLorean? We‘ll see about that. 😉

This has a lot of everything I like- it even gets me with the mushy bits- who knew I was waiting for something so spy/betrayal/intrigue/time-travelly?!? Well I was and I loved it. Five stars past, present, and future!

Well, that was one depressing and thought-provoking Christmas-adjacent book! I did like it though. It got a little repetitive and long-winded in some places; at a couple of places, I actually said out loud, “Will you just get to the point?!” Willis‘ take on pandemic behavior is absolutely right. #ClassicLSFBC #audiowalk

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ magical books, lovely characters and diabolical villains! Wow I loved this debut novel. If you love time travel this is a goodie!

Overall, a good collection. However, one author clearly does not knit or crochet, because at one point the story « Death in New Venice » refers to a « crochet needle » (it‘s a crochet HOOK, and it would not make a good stabbing implement). And of course this is the one thing I trip up on in a sci-fi story ?

I‘ve got about 3 hours left in this book, and I‘m holding out for a happyish ending. Probably not realistic, but I sure wouldn‘t mind one. It got up to 79° here today, so I was walking in shorts again. #ClassicLSFBC #audiowalk

Is anyone else just not able to get into Outlander? I want to like the books so much as it's right up my alley genre wise, but I've tried several times to start it, and it just doesn't grip me. 😭 I don't want to watch the series until I've read the books.

Love Butler's work. Rough to read but always important.
