Welcome to Litsy!

Was able to polish this on off yesterday. Today my heart is heavy. Our Bearded Dragon, Gizmo passed last night. 🥲🐉

Continuing these Kinsey books (they remind me of my grandma — she used to read them). Anyway this is a #HalfAudioHalfPrint for me 🎧📖

For me, this was one of the more clever instalments from Grafton. There was some great tension created halfway through the book, which I haven't found to be typical from the Kinsey Millhone books so that was also a nice change of pace.

Of course I‘m using this for the #startswithN prompt! When I bought this, I didn‘t think it would bother me that it was in small hardback format while the rest of her hardbacks in my collection are standard format. It turns out that it bothered me! So I took it to a book swap and exchanged it for something else.

Long story short, I don‘t have the book anymore. Other than Z that will never happen 😢 I have all the rest. #gratefulharvest

This is one of the Sue Grafton novels that I DON'T remember reading before. It's great! Holds up so well with the rest.

Greetings from my back deck aka my favourite spot in the house. I decided to stick to Sue Grafton to keep me on my book streak. #booksixof2021

Kinsey is hired by the widow of a detective to find out what was troubling him at the time of his sudden death. Tom Newquist was unsettled and restless prior to his heart attack; was it a case he was working on or was he being unfaithful? Kinsey‘s presence in Nota Lake is not welcome the longer she stays and keeps asking questions. #MountTBR

Kinsey goes to a little mountain town to try to solve a mystery, but she finds that the people who live there aren‘t just suspicious and unhelpful. They‘re mean and nasty to her, and she barely makes it out alive. These people irked me so much, I wanted to jump into the book and punch them all in the face!

Another great addition to the series I love all the snarky comments sadly the need for girls to prove ourselves has not yet gone away

I‘ve actually never read this one. What a great surprise. Wonder if there are any more I somehow failed to read. I feel like I have been given the most wonderful gift. it is a good one. The plot is very intricate and detailed. The characters are well written and fascinating. This is the best of the series I think.

This was a fun quiz. Thanks @RealLifeReading 😊

Mary Norton - I loved the borrowers as a kid.

Nienor - The tragically fated sister of Turin.

Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman at his best.

The Naturalist - serial killer or grizzly bear attack? Sounds interesting to me.

The Name of the Wind - the start of Patrick Rothfuss' masterpiece.

This is all of Saturday‘s #bookhaul that‘s not destined for my #sockswap match. Yes, that‘s laundry to be put away on the bed in the background. It‘s been that kind of day.
This month‘s reading was a little light, but I do have several books in progress FWIW.
-Alice in Wonderland & Thru Looking Glass 😺
-The Nightmare 😱
-The Supremes Sing the Happy Heartache Blues 💙

I think my Goodreads review is accurate. It's good but not great

#TBT last year at this time I was trying to figure out where I left off in this series. Turns out I re-read two of the books. But I love every minute of Kinsey's sleuthing!
