Welcome to Litsy!

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024

It‘s 2AM here & since I woke up & can‘t go back to sleep, I‘m going to keep playing catch up on May reviews.🤷🏻‍♀️

Book 7 in the Lady Sherlock series & now I‘m caught up with book 8 coming out next month! I feel into the series this year through #Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent group & have loved it this year. Listened to this one on audiobook again as it was faster on library hold. Charlotte Holmes & her crew are ⬇️

Here‘s my progress on this book. I‘m almost finished. I have 2 hrs left. I was listening to the audiobook and I felt like I had to stop because it was too much. I‘m enjoying the book but it‘s intense. I‘ve been listening to this book a little bit and then stopping because sometimes, it‘s too much and that seems to help. It‘s also a long book so I knew it would take me a while to read it. After this, I want to read books that are not so intense.

Here‘s my June TBR so far. I like using this tracker every month. I add a few books and set up the acronym/color coding system and then all month, I just start adding books that I‘m reading or what I want to read. I‘ve already finished the first short story for the #noplacelikeholmes readalong and I‘ve already started the tagged book. I made more progress in the audiobook tonight. I have 2 hrs left of the book now.

Family vacation in Williamsburg VA. Brought tagged book for reading, when I can😊

Make a great day everyone 😊

This book follows a family starting in the 1950s. The father works in the oil industry and we see greater society‘s growing understanding about fossil fuels through the eyes of the kids in the activist 60s then the generations up to today. I became engrossed with this one quickly and didn‘t want to put it down. Be aware that while the cover is quite pretty, it really doesn‘t reflect the book.

"Because she was only 15 and busy with her growing up, Lucia's periods of reflection were brief and infrequent; but this morning she felt weighted with responsibility."

Ugh, this was rough. I was so bored. Nothing happened. I felt connected to no one (minus Junia the mule 😆) and struggled to finish this. (25)
⭐️: 1.5/5

Today, I‘m sharing my #readyourkindle list for June. It‘s the same list. The only difference is that I‘ve added 7 more books to this list. I only have 1 mood read left because I started reading Beneath A Scarlet Sky for that one but I will finish reading it this month. I have 1 ebook on this list that would be a perfect book to read for Father‘s Day because it has a single dad. I don‘t have a dad anymore. He passed away in February 2014.

4.5/5 ⭐️ #FoodandLit Spain 🇪🇸
