Welcome to Litsy!

I read this before but it's been a while and I've forgotten pretty much everything about this series. I remember I enjoyed it, though.

Just as good as I remembered.

Reread and snuggle kind of Saturday

New book and new project.

This was a really neat read! Cavallari did a great job of recreating that Watson and Holmes relationship in a new, unique way. It's clear that these characters are descendants of the famous Sherlock and Watson (therefore sharing characteristics), but also their own people (younger and in a different time period).

I'm looking forward to picking up the next in the series!

LOVED this story! Couldn‘t put it down. It was fast-paced and witty and the characters were fun to root for! I definitely want to read the others in the series now!

I love the Sherlock Holmes stories, and I love mysteries with a sassy lady detective type, so I thought this book would go down a treat, and it sure did. I loved Charlotte and John‘s weird relationship, I loved the parallels between the original Holmes and Watson, and I just love watson, in general. Hanging out now to read the others. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I found this gem on @VioletMoonBooks page and had to share it, because *drumroll please* my story name is “The Tragedy of the Persnickety Waffle.”
It couldn‘t be more perfect 😂😂

This was an entertaining imagining if Holmes and Watson‘s many great grandchildren met at an American boarding school to fulfill their familial destiny by becoming friends and solving a murder. Told from the voice of a very melodramatic Jamie Watson, I laughed a lot and was kept interested by his interaction with a very pithy Charlotte Holmes. Pick. A survey at work says Cumberbatch and Freeman are the only Holmes and Watson that matters. I‘ve👇🏼

Maybe my expectations were too high going in to this one, but I didn't really enjoy it at all. I didn't connect with the characters. I didn't understand their thoughts or reactions, or how the relationships between them were built and changed. I also felt like there were some really serious topics (murder, rape, drug use, self harm, trauma) that were flippantly dealt with. I'm gonna give the rest of the series a miss.

A follow up to my best camp novels, these are my most favorite boarding school novels for teens. Something about the atmosphere of the boarding school and the drama! 😊 📕

Noticeably missing is Harry Potter. For some reason I don't actually consider those boarding school books. I adore Harry & his adventures, but they are a thing all in themselves.

One of the things that stuck out for me about this book was the writing style of it. It felt different from other modern writing styles. It felt different yet somehow still relatable. I‘m so glad I finally got around to reading this story. I can‘t wait to see what happens in the rest of the series. To see what else Holmes and Watson get themselves into.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love this whole series but especially A Study in Charlotte. Charlotte and Jamie make a great team and they deal with real world problems like drug addiction and sexual assault. It‘s not all about solving the mystery but also solving problems teens face everyday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The first time I met her was at the tail end of one of those endless weekday nights you could only have at a school like Sherringford.

I didn‘t love this book like I was hoping to, but I did manage to enjoy it a bit. I was originally going to give this book 3 stars, but the ending kind of redeemed the book. Overall, I liked the twist of the characters, but I had a hard time loving them until towards the end. I‘m not sure if I will read the rest of the series, but this was a solid novel.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My love of Sherlock Holmes has been restored! Thank you, Brittany Cavallaro!
This was a fun adaptation to read. I loved Jamie Watson because he was so relatable, and I respected Charlotte Holmes because she‘s a fighter.
The mystery was clever and intriguing. I just hope we focus on the mysteries and not the possible romance between Holmes and Watson. That‘s just me though. 😬

This book couldn't hold my attention while physically reading it, so I'm trying out the audiobook

@aschermetz , I picked this up at the post office today! #whodunitthesequel

So the first of this series, A Study in Charolette, was AMAZING. It was so much fun and everything I like in Sherlock stories and none of the things that the premise made me worried about. I was overjoyed.

I read the rest in a week and was SO disappointed. The writer is good at plot, but terrible at doing things with her characters that make sense. She finished up minor plot points, left big ones, and then gave us an ambiguous ending.

I really enjoyed this #blameitonLitsy mystery, Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson meet at a boarding school in Connecticut. Jamie or Watson as he prefers has been dreaming about solving mysteries with the mysterious Miss Holmes. Now is his chance. A fun retelling, older YA ( trigger warning ⚠️ )

If Sherlock was actually Riverdale

[#BookReview] A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro. This was a re-read for me to get ready to continue the series! This book is such a fun experience and I love the characters so much. If you are a fan of the original Sherlock Holmes stories, I highly recommend giving this modern take on the story a try!🕵🏻‍♂️💎🕵🏻‍♀️

Cute retelling of Holmes and Watson through their great-great-great grandchildren. As a huge fan of BBC's Sherlock, I enjoyed this very much, I will definitely be adding the rest of the series to me TBR.

It‘s always the best, and so rare, when a book surprises you in a good way. I had been interested in this series for a while but was hesitant about it because a teen Sherlock Holmes seemed potentially corny.

I was very wrong.

For me, this was one of those almost magical reading experiences where the book and I had just the right chemistry. The story had a lot of things I didn‘t even realize I wanted. In short: I adore Charlotte Holmes.

1. Calvin and Hobbes comics, Harry Potter series, Little Women, and Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild
2. Lots of sleeping! Also doing a belated Valentine‘s celebration with my husband and spending a day at the Met
3. I have so much love for this iteration of Holmes and Watson
4. That I can do? Not many. I can‘t even whistle. But I can stand very high on my tiptoes for a long time.
5. Happy to! 👍👍👍

#friyayintro

Not my usual genre, but a fun play on Holmes and Watson as told by the teenage great grandchildren of the duo. Good mystery and characters.

Well I finished this one. Nothing wrong with the story but I just didn‘t connect with it really. I liked the idea of this, just didn‘t catch my attention the way I wanted it to!
This my #FemaleDetective for #Booked2019

Now I hope everyone enjoys their party of one but I‘m gonna watch some football 😂😝
Love to all my littens! 💜

My next read. Pretty free day so hopefully I can finish quickly. I‘ve heard good reviews from you littens and I‘m hoping I feel the same! 😄

This was a total #blameitonlitsy read and once again Litsy did let me down. I really enjoyed this book. I didn't want to put it down and it kept me guessing the whole time. I loved seeing how Charlotte and Jamie minds worked. I of course didn't guess who the killer was. I am so glad I have the next two books in the series so I can keep reading them! On to the next book!

Starting this beauty on this fine morning with a fresh cup of coffee (shout out to @WeeziesBooks for giving it to me💕) #newbook #finally

A charming retelling! The characters were very convincing, in all their brilliant, teenage glory. Jamie, especially, was one precious muffin...& y‘all know how I feel about precious muffins. Their romance was a bit rushed, but believable. The mystery was a touch too obvious. So, not a brilliant whodunnit, but a fun story that does well in recreating the atmosphere of the originals while adding a dash of its own flavor! ★★★½. 3rd for #24in48

I liked this modern retelling of Holmes and Watson with the main characters being the descendants of the original Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. This was for the #whodunitthesequel and will hopefully be heading out to @BookwormAHN tomorrow (if I don‘t get snowed in... they‘re predicting between 6-12 inches).

This was my first book for #24in48. Next up is a couple of short novellas.

Not bad for Day 1 of #24in48 readathon. I am off to get some sleep. Hopefully I‘ll make it to 24 hours tomorrow. Good night all!

#currentlyreading this charming little retelling and just about halfway done for #24in48! Think I‘m going to switch to audiobook for a bit while I wind down for the night.

I am not a fan of reading more than one book at a time but the first two books I started this year were heading me into a slump. I'm going to tackle another 50 pages each to see if it gets better. Anyone have any insight. Tell me it's worth continuing!

Ahhh I loved this book omg!! I loved Jamie and I loved Charlotte, and I loved how their families were famous because the original Holmes and Watson were real. This book was a very enjoyable read, even if (like me) you haven‘t read Conan Doyle‘s writing, although I‘m sure if you have there are lots of yummy Easter eggs.
