Welcome to Litsy!

During 1507 Lisbon, #Portugal, a kabbalist‘s nephew sets out to solve his uncle‘s murder & to learn the lessons his uncle tried to teach him even from the grave, all while old Christians were burning alive “new” Christians (Jews who were forced to convert). I loved how much of the mystery involved books (angels, as the main character describes them). A vast number of characters & the ending is told like a documentary: what happened to each ⬇️

Just finished this one and will write a review later. I listened to it for five hours (audiocrafting win) today for #scarathlon #teamslaughter #screamathon #sbooktober #gothtober #ripreadathon #october20in4 #outstandingoctober #audioathon #littenlisten #readingeurope2020 #Portugal

5 hours times 8 readathons = 400 points
Related to #teamslaughter read = 15 points
Post = 1 point
TOTAL 416 points!

Now putting together point totals including readathons. As you can see, through Oct 6, I was at 1,115 total points. I‘ll post my total through Oct 11 tonight. #scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick

Working on my readathon tallies since Friday. It is a lot of work! I got some wrong on my posts so I‘ll correct them here. Then on to my point totals. #scarathlon #teamslaughter @Clwojick

Another hour listening to this book for #scarathlon #teamslaughter #screamathon #sbooktober #gothtober #ripreadathon #october20in4 #outstandingoctober #audioathon #littenlisten #readingeurope2020 91 points

Finally got some listening in on this one tonight for the new audiobook #littenlisten readathon. #scarathlon #teamslaughter #screamathon #sbooktober #gothtober #ripreadathon #october20in4 #audioathon

7 of 10 hours were listening to the tagged audiobook for #october8in2, 1 hour was spent reading an awful self-published book for #scarathlon and #screamathon I need to add to Litsy, and the remaining two hours, a mishmash of the other books I‘m reading. The tagged book is also for #readingeurope2020 #Portugal

Four hours of audio gardening this morning. Dr told me at my annual physical this week that I needed to get 150 minutes of exercise a week, so...

240 minutes of exercise
4 hours of garden getting loving attention
4 hours for #screamathon, and therefore for #scarathlon!

Not counting the audio housecleaning and audiocrafting I hope to do.

Update on my #readingeurope2020 challenge. I‘ve read 31 (in ink) of 50. Titles in pencil are books I‘ve lined up to read. I need book recommendations where I have blanks, except Wales, because I‘ve lots of Wales books and @GingerAntics (my Wales reading buddy) is advising me. 😁

Total score today y‘all! I needed a book for #Portugal for the #readingeurope2020 challenge, and I also needed a new audiobook. If you‘re an Audible subscriber, it‘s free with your subscription! I‘m so happy!!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 84 #bookstoread #tbrpile #bookstagram

I really enjoyed the Lisbon setting and the rich, if painful historical detail but struggled with the mystery elements of the novel alongside a large, and often, unlike able cast of characters. Photo of the memorial taken last year
