Welcome to Litsy!

Merry Happy Valkyrie isn't in the database yet, but I've submitted it. Holiday F/F romance novella? Yay. The only Australian town where it always snows at Xmas? Ooh. MC a meteorologist? Love that competence porn. Norse myth & magic? Sign me up. #romantsy #fantasy

I seem to recall really enjoying the first book in this series but this was just... well... not for me.

I am enjoying this light-hearted mystery series set in Tasmania. Usually I get pretty impatient with quirky characters, but they seem to work here.

I won't be using this promotional material at my library. While I am sure the books are good reads the list is overwhelmingly white and heteronormative. I know for a fact (thank you netgalley) that there are a lot - not a few - ALOT of incredible books coming out this summer by poc and lgbtqia authors and they are barely - if at all - represented here. 🙄 I don't know why I expected more but I did. #wndb #bookscoop

Although lacking the satisfyingly snappy banter of the first book, Drowned Vanilla is a solid mystery with a colorful ensemble and a rich, lived in setting. Like A Trifle Dead, I highly recommend you come prepared with snacks, because these novels are stuffed with mouthwatering descriptions of food.
