Welcome to Litsy!

Always happy to read a new Agatha Raisin story! It‘s been awhile. While I will always miss M.C. Beaton, I do think the new author has a decent grasp of the characters. It‘s a little different but not enough to make me stop reading. Very happy Penelope Keith narrated the audiobook. 4⭐️

I didn't find the book I went looking for today, but better than if I'd found it, I found a book I didn't know I was looking for 😊

Very enjoyable to read Cusk‘s first novel that really deftly captures the experience of being a young female adult. Some lines were so spot on: “She strove not to please others but merely not to disgust them.” An accurate portrait of growing into female adulthood in the 90s from my perspective. Agnes is a little trying at times, but I loved to see her find her way.

Look what arrived today! Yippee! I can't wait until the 13th! 🩷🖤💜🖤🩷🎉 #ValloweenSwap #ValloweenSwap2025

Here‘s an add for the book at the end.
Yay! I‘m finally done with this book. I didn‘t realize I was so close to the end, the notes in the back of the book start at about the 50% mark! I‘m glad I read it & sad I didn‘t enjoy it, since the author is a famous female author. The historical notes at the end of the book an interesting, so I‘m reading them. #AuthorAMonth

Incredible it took that long to band it sounds so cruel. #AuthorAMonth

I‘m reading the version of the book with annotations and this morning came across an annotation about this once famous and now forgotten author. It made me think of all the lost books in the past, and which books will be lost and that so few will be saved in the future! I hope I have read some of the memorable ones!
