Welcome to Litsy!

I am really enjoying these Sue Grafton books. The hardest part is waiting for them to come through on my Libby. Great company during my outdoor chores!

I think this has been my favorite of the series so far!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So I ended up finishing this so quickly! The thing is .. I love Kinsey. My hubby had some online meetings so that meant I had to remain quiet and well reading is a perfect use of my time!!! Anyway loved this book (I am going to have to add another book for my #BookSpinBingo for October now (maybe use it as a free space)

So I had initially wanted to read this one next month for the #Scarathlon2020 #TeamSlaughter (@clwojick) book but.. I had a time lull of time where I finished all the books I had started and was gonna be waiting at the airport for my husband so... picked this one up early.

I love information. Sometimes I feel like an archaeologist, digging for facts, uncovering data with my wits and a pen.

Food is my last great vice and I intend to sin incessantly as long as my palate holds out.

Kinsey finds herself framed, related to a case she‘s working on, and must clear her good name.

These have been good re-reads so far, but have noticed casual references to “black maids” answering the doors and such. I‘ll have to see if author Grafton and Kinsey improve in this aspect. I don‘t remember if they did. Although the entire series takes place in the 1980s, I‘m still where they were *actually* written in the 1980s. Two more in PB format!

Up next : E .

Indefinitely stuck with my library books until the libraries open again 😳

So I read this one for #marchmysterymadness and I'm starting to feel like this series is getting a bit repetitive. I will continue soon but this one felt much like the last. 2.5/5 stars.

These two have been interesting to keep separate in my head. Two strong, independent, investors, both of whom are short but one lives in St Louis and the other in Santa Teresa/Santa Barbara. I keep expecting Kinsey to run into a vampire.

I enjoy the sarcastic humor Sue Grafton brings to Kinsey‘s personality. I also admire Kinsey‘s independence and self-reliance. 💪 This is a quick read - a mystery of arson and a wealthy family.

Got through this one really quickly! Kinsey finds that $5000 was deposited in her bank account and gets swept up into a web of drama with a well respected family that she knows. I didn't see the resolution to this one coming at all! I am truly worried about the continued injuries that Kinsey ends up with though. LOL

Let's play a fun game... will the hold for E come in before my loan on F expires and can I listen to both before 7 days is up? Place your bets, place your bets!!!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 These deal with a lot heavier subject matter than I remember. For whatever reason, I thought the beginning ones were a bit more “fluff”, and they definitely are not. I‘m truly glad they aren‘t, and I‘m in awe of what a fantastic author Sue Grafton was. 🙌🏻 She doesn‘t shy away from hard issues. Definitely potential triggers in this one, which I will put in a spoiler tagged comment.

So very true. #quotsy #atoyreread #suegrafton

I finished this just after hearing about Sue Grafton‘s death. I‘ve only read a handful of books in the series and wanted to get caught up before Z came out. I hadn‘t even finished re-reading the ones I read years ago before the announcement. I‘m so sad that Kinsey won‘t get her final book but looking forward to reading to Y, knowing it‘s the end.

These books never disappoint! I should probably stop reading them before I go to sleep though, as I always have to check through my house afterwards. 😄

Went to start my next read and had to laugh at the first line because today is December 27! Coincidence or what? #toobaditsnotmonday

Slow play ahead of us on the golf course = finishing up another book I have left hanging for too long.

So I was walking from the fencing tournament back to the hotel, and there, right in front of me, was a bookstore so I had to enter. I found 2 of the hardcover Graftons I was missing! 👊 Win!

I went to finish up this book and realized my hold had expired! Ugh. On the plus side I will move onto my next thriller. Has anyone read the new Megan Miranda? #readrealbooks

I found parts of this uncomfortable, and very much "of its time" but I still liked it

Somewhere in paradise....

Love this passage. Kinsey is my spirit animal.

Sleepy time tea, Cats Does Countdown, and a book before bedtime 💜

I need to work on my secondhand emotions, I get far too upset about things. Someone is framing Kinsey and I am physically bothered by the unfairness that she feels. That said, this series is great and I love it.
