Welcome to Litsy!

This was a fun mystery. I liked going along for the ride with Oliver and Ricky as they veer from their travel writing to solve an unexpected murder. Oliver is autistic and uncomfortable with changing plans, but he builds confidence in himself with Ricky's help. The two try to get to the bottom of the disturbances of a self-driving car company without getting into trouble themselves.
Great start of a new cozy mystery series #SeriesLove2025

To my litten friends everywhere!

Absolutely loved this one! Fantastic characters and a truly compelling storyline. Adding all of Kate Quinn‘s other books to my TBR now! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I finally finished! The authors note described this as a pandemic Mish-mash and that is what it felt like. It came together for to a somewhat interesting conclusion; but definitely felt disjointed. Some stories I enjoyed, some j didn‘t, the house as a narrator just felt silly. But good enough for me to want to finish. Read for #literaryclub

This is the story of how a swampy area of MD and VA ended up as the US capital. The story seems perfect for a Cohen brothers movie with incompetency, corruption, stubbornness, and dumb luck eventually resulting in Washington DC becoming a reality. The whole process was quite the shit show, from being selected over various locales in PA (take that Columbia), to its design, to getting funding and then built, burnt to the ground and built again!

I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting the way it was set up and how we learned about each of the women in the book. The inclusion of the recipes was such a fun aspect as well. I have it a 5/5

Rereading for bookclub.

The lives of several women are intertwined while they live in a boarding house in Washington, D.C. in the 1950s.

I'm a big fan of the Timeless series by Gabrielle Meyer and this one is my favorite so far. Trust me it's a tough pick they have all been good. I can not rave enough about the Gabrielle Meyer's ability to weave together the characters, their decisions, their own dual timelines and the family lines of Time Crossers throughout the series. I love coming across a little secret or tie-in to a previous story. (Continued in comments)
