dabbe #woohoo for #5 and for all your joys! 🩵💙🩵 3d

Lesliereadsalot Thanks! I know you play too. Do you play Strands? @dabbe 3d

dabbe @Lesliereadsalot I do! My puzzle routine is the following: NYT: Mini crossword, main crossword, Letter Boxed, Spelling Bee, Wordle, Strands, Connections.

I also play Waffle, The Daily Set, and Quiddler. What all do you play? 💚🧩💚 3d

See All 8 Comments

Lesliereadsalot I only do the main puzzle on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I do the mini. Don‘t play letter boxed but my daughter does. I do the sudokus in my local paper when they‘re at a hard level. Also the two Jumbles every day. I play Words with Friends with a handful of friends. Will try your other three suggestions! @dabbe 2d

Lesliereadsalot Waffle is fun! @dabbe 2d

Lesliereadsalot I‘m looking for a daily or weekly Ken Ken. Do you know of any? When I occasionally get the physical Sunday NYT, there‘s one in the magazine section. Do you get Puzzlemania in December? @dabbe 2d

kspenmoll Food & puzzles! ❤️ 1d

Lesliereadsalot The best right? @kspenmoll 19h

Amiable

Dissolution: A Shardlake Novel | C. J. Sansom

pick

Completed this book for #BookedinTime (Tudor England). I enjoyed the writing style and the story. Although I‘m not sure if I‘m invested enough in the character of Shardlake to continue on with the series. Maybe I‘m a bit curious to see how he fares now that his rose-colored glasses about Cromwell and the Reformation have been removed.

@Cuilin @dabbe

TiredLibrarian I'd try the next one, but I'm biased because I loved this series! 2mo

Andrew65 I feel this series only gets better after the first one. Like you I wasn‘t sure about continuing, in fact was a few years before I did. It became a favourite series. 2mo

Cuilin I‘ll try the next one if you do. 😆 2mo

Butterfinger I really enjoyed the adaptation. 2mo

Ruthiella I am with @TiredLibrarian and @Andrew65 . The series is well worth continuing. 2mo

dabbe Like everyone said the books only get better. Shardlake's character grows in such complexity, and Henry VIII actually comes into the books as well as other royals. 🩶🖤🩶 2mo

Amiable @TiredLibrarian @andrew65 @ruthiella @dabbe If you say the series gets better, then I‘ll give the next one a go! I thought Louise Penny‘s 1st book was an okay read, and I‘m very glad I continued on with that series. 2mo

Amiable @Butterfinger What was that on? I‘m not aware of the adaptation. 2mo

Amiable @Cuilin I think they all convinced me to proceed! The peer pressure of fellow Litsy readers is too much to resist. 😀 #blameitonLitsy 2mo

Daisey I‘ll add to the list of people saying the series gets better! I think the second book is actually my favorite. 2mo

dabbe @Amiable There's also a tv series!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shardlake_(TV_series) 2mo

dabbe @Amiable @Cuilin #woohoo! 🙌🏻 2mo

Cuilin @Amiable Let‘s go. (I blame most of my reading habits on Litsy, Lol). 2mo

Cuilin @dabbe 💜 2mo

Andrew65 @dabbe Not seen that but no doubt good if Sean Bean is in it. 2mo

Andrew65 @Amiable Sometimes it takes series 2 or 3 books to really get going then you are totally hooked. 2mo

Amiable @Cuilin I need to get through “Anna Karenina” before I embark on a series. I just reached Part 6. I‘m getting there! Slowly. 2mo

Amiable @dabbe Interesting! I will put it on my list of shows-to-watch. My husband and I are making our way through “The Sopranos” —we never watched it when it originally aired. Now we‘re halfway through season 5. 2mo

dabbe @Amiable 🤩🤩🤩 2mo

Cuilin @Amiable oh no worries. I know you‘ve been busy lately. Just let me know when you‘re good to start and we can do it together. 2mo

Amiable @Cuilin ❤️ 2mo

When Crickets Cry | Charles Martin

#ReadYourKindle
I‘m going to try a new challenge this year thanks to @dabbe and @CBee
Thanks for letting me join @CBee
I‘ll start with When Crickets Cry

CBee Welcome! Glad to have you. The Scarpetta books are what got me hooked on the mystery/thriller genre - I started reading them in high school. There‘s a Scarpetta series coming with Nicole Kidman playing her 👏🏻 3mo

tpixie @CBee I‘ve enjoyed the Scarpetta series. There were a few in the middle where everyone was a little too dysfunctional, but I do enjoy the mysteries. I‘m so excited to hear about the series! 3mo

CBee @tpixie see, I like dysfunctional sometimes 😂😂 But I know what you mean. I‘m excited about the series too! 3mo

See All 25 Comments

dabbe @CBee @tpixie Kidman as Scarpetta? Count me in!!! 🤩🤗🤩 3mo

dabbe 🩶🖤🩶 3mo

tpixie @dabbe @CBee 🥳🥳🥳 (edited) 3mo

DogMomIrene @CBee You are freaking me out! I loved the early Scarpetta, but stopped reading when she changed PoV in her writing. Have they gotten better again? Because I may need to pick this series up again with NK playing KS! 3mo

CBee @DogMomIrene honestly I haven‘t continued the series, I read all of the earlier ones but none of the new-ish ones. BUT I will happily watch Nicole Kidman play, I don‘t know, a crazed blowfish or something - as I love her that much 😂😂😂 She could play anything or do anything and I‘d watch it ♥️ (edited) 3mo

CBee @dabbe RIGHT?!? I‘m so stoked. 3mo

CBee @tpixie also, Jamie Lee Curtis is in it. And I adore her. @dabbe @DogMomIrene 3mo

dabbe @CBee @tpixie @DogMomIrene #woohoo! 🤩🤩🤩 3mo

tpixie @DogMomIrene I think they‘ve gotten better since the ones in the middle. I can‘t remember which one I read that I started enjoying again more. 3mo

tpixie @CBee Jamie Lee Curtis is amazing 🤩 3mo

DogMomIrene @CBee Have you seen her in The Sticky on Prime I think? It‘s about the great maple syrup heist and she‘s freaking hilarious in it! As Americans living in 🇨🇦 we appreciated her character‘s perspective. 3mo

tpixie @DogMomIrene No! Sounds great! My daughter and I are looking for something else to watch. We‘ll have to look into this. 3mo

DogMomIrene @tpixie Im going to do some internet sleuthing on this one then. Because I‘d love to love her books again! Thanks! 3mo

tpixie @DogMomIrene I love Margo Martindale also- from The Americans 3mo

CBee @DogMomIrene let me know what you find! 3mo

CBee @tpixie I LOVED The Americans!! 3mo

CBee @tpixie check out Black Doves on Netflix. It‘s great and Sarah Lancashire is sort of a “Margo-esque” character in it. Plus Keira Knightley! 3mo

DogMomIrene @tpixie Yes! The Americans was so good. And she‘s sooooo great in The Sticky. The whole thing is just wacky fun. 3mo

DogMomIrene @CBee Will do! I‘m expecting someone has a fan wiki about this series where plenty of people will weigh in with their opinion of which book revived the series. 3mo

CBee @DogMomIrene oh, there has to be something like that 👏🏻👏🏻 3mo

tpixie @CBee @DogMomIrene The Americans was great!! Oh a wiki page- smart idea! I also like Kathy Reichs Temperance Brennon series. Forensic Anthropology

Deja Dead, Volume 1

(edited) 3mo

tpixie @CBee ok! I‘ll check out Black Doves! 🕊️ 3mo
