#TBRtemptation post 1! This is installment #14 in the Sebastian St. Cyr mystery series. A fiendish nobleman is found murdered, and St. Cyr‘s dear niece, now widow, is in the crosshairs as the alleged culprit, as mounting evidence suggests a woman killer. There are a great many secrets and illegalities surrounding the victim, and extricating fact from fiction as shocking revelations mount is a difficult task. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Book #14: Oedipus Rex is one of those plays that sticks with you for long after you read it. Even though it has been a very long time since I read it in my humanities class in undergrad I still recall the play vividly and how it made me feel. The story is the ultimate classic, about a man who murders his father and marries his mother. The purpose...

Starting the most recent book in the Inspector Banks series, one of my favourite detective series. Strange to think this is Book 25 in the series and it is 32 years since the first one was published! 😳

This was absolutely the best book I‘ve read so far this year (#14!) and I‘m buying at least 2 more copies as gifts. I love love love marine biology and this book gave me hours of amazing information in a funny, not journal of science-y way. It even has a suggested soundtrack (and I made a Sex in the Sea playlist on Spotify if you want to listen). Excellent writing, excellent puns, excellent info on how humans can do better. Absolute must read.

The New York Time‘s Best Seller, The Day the Crayons Quit (F) is a silly story, perfect for a RA. Duncan, a young boy, wants to color some pictures. However, when he opens his crayon box, he is left to see letters...written by the crayons themselves! They are quitting. Must read! #LAE3414SP19

It's been great reading everyone's 20 things about me for #litsylove, so hope you like mine (even if it is a little late to the game) 🧡
