Welcome to Litsy!

Saw this list yesterday and thought it would be perfect for #weirdwordwednesday. I particularly love the word “crapulence.” 😄

#16 in the Emma Griffin FBI Series. Not as good as the other ones, but I will still read them.

Second book for #SummerEndReadathon

Katy‘s mother died and her world stopped. She decided to travel to Italy as she had planned but with the absence of her mother, who was supposed to go. She will discover herself in this travel.
I didn‘t expect that this novel would be a time traveling. This is a story of second chances.
I liked the atmosphere, you felt like you were there. I traveled too with the help of Google☺️But this character is so annoying⬇️

Book #16: “how to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you” by Matthew Inman

Short, quick, and silly.

Some long series start to get dull or repeat plotlines, but CJ Box gets better and more exciting with every Pickett story he writes. This is #16 in the series and I barely took a breath the entire time I was listening. This one has a terrorism plot and features my favorite off-the-grid master falconer, Nate Romanowski. I listened while moving and unpacking my new house and the story kept me up on my feet. David Chandler‘s narration is perfect💯

This is the second book in the series and it takes place a year after the first book. Binti wants to go home but is faced with finding out who she and her family really are while facing difficulties of prejudices and gender roles. This was a good book but there were parts that I found myself zoning out. However, I do want to read the 3rd book. 3.5 ⭐️

#16 of #booked2023, #Afrofuturism

I'm using Okorafor's own term for her work, #Africanfuturism. They're not quite the same thing. Read her essay for more.

This book is difficult to classify. It's an alien-tech (magic?) folktale set in near-future Ghana. It speaks of power, and death, and loneliness, and surveillance, and corporate greed, and of being a young girl who is older than her years. But it's also more than that.

Finished my reread of book #16 in Louise Penny‘s Three Pine‘s series.
Began #13 of Dalgliesh‘s #HiddenNorfolkThriller series.

Title for #GuiltyPleasure is the next Anita Blake novel on my TBR (#16). Most reading this series agree that it‘s nowhere near as good as the first 8 or 9, but I just can‘t quit it. I go long periods between but I still enjoy them.
For tune, I‘m going with “Party in the USA.” When I worked in the office, I‘d turn the volume up and it would leak through my headphones and my neighbors would laugh at me and tell me to turn it down. ⬇️

I will happily play, @CSeydel. 🤩😍🤗

Q: Is there a series you started out enjoying but just couldn‘t finish?
For me, it was the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. I loved them and thought they were a riot, but I got about midway, and I became exhausted and just couldn't finish all of them. The writing pattern was by then too well-known and created ennui for me.
