Welcome to Litsy!

Book 20 of #MountTBR- I may have to check out Stiefvater‘s other books as I loved this one. I love Puck. She is a feisty and strong character. It had just the right amount of a romance and no love triangle!

#UnderdogHero - The Scorpio Races
#FeaturesaHoliday - A Redbird Christmas
#MCover70yearsold - Driving Miss Daisy

This is my final book for #booked2018 ! Happy to say that it was also from the mountainous #TBR pile! This is Book 3 of a series based on the real life of sisters who lived in New Jersey in the early 1900‘s. Miss Constance Kopp became somewhat a celebrity due to the fact that a female assistant sheriff, who carried a gun and wore a gold star was quite unusual for the period! Despite the lack of respect that she faced, Constance was a #underdoghero

With this last read I have finally completed my end season of reads for #booked2018! Just in time 🙌🏼😉

Reading this book which has been sitting on my shelves for some time for my last #booked2018 selection. A few Litsy friends chose Miss Kopp‘s books for #underdoghero. Happy to find this on my #TBR !

4.5/5
I never read this classic nor watched the movies, which isn‘t a surprise because I don‘t really gravitate towards westerns. But, I‘m so glad I read this because I loved it! It‘s beautiful, straightforward storytelling. And I loved the voice of Mattie Ross. Highly recommend.

My final quarter of #booked2018 is complete. Here‘s what I read—

#newin2018 Heartland
#mcwithaninvisibleillness Reasons to Stay Alive
#spooky The Elementals
#underdoghero Murder as a Fine Art
#MCover70 Three Things About Elsie
#featuresaholiday Better Not Cry

This book is replete with #underdoghero(es). Thomas de Quincey is first and foremost as he races to discover who is recreating the brutal, decades old Ratcliff Highway murders in Victorian London.

De Quincey is best known for his memoir Confessions of an English Opium Eater, which I have actually read but of which I have little recollection. This was an immersive, fast paced historical thriller.

And with that, I‘ve completed #booked2018.

I finally found a book for #underdoghero @Cinfhen . It‘s fantastic so far. My reading buddy prefers lounging on the coffee table as I read. 🤪

PS I swear we don‘t beat her or anything. She just always has a super guilty look on her face. 😂

I loved The Book Thief. It was beautifully written and told by Death, who was a fantastic narrator. Although I will warn those who haven't read it yet kleenex will be needed 💙
Also has anyone seen the movie? How does it compare with the book?

I need a book that fits #UnderdogHero for #Booked2018. For those who have read it, would the tagged book work? It‘s on my shelves and would also count toward #MountTBR. 🤞🏻
