Book 2 in this trilogy. We continue knowing the main character and his family, specially his brother. I enjoyed the mystery and the interaction between these characters. There are funny parts. I want to know how the trilogy will ends. 3.8 ⭐️Love the cover😍

I didn't have a clear standout choice for #12Booksof2023 for February, so picked this one because it was a very entertaining read and is set at Christmas. So get cracking if you want another book for #WinterGames!

Andrew65 Sounds an interesting read. 4mo

I don't usually do candles, but I found this candle holder amongst the Christmas decorations and thought, why not use it for #Hyggehour ? I had set out to have the cozy time make my current Terrible Book more tolerable, but it just made it worse, so I switched to the tagged book because who doesn't want to see Jerry again (everyone who's pissed him off that's who)

I don't have a physical copy of a single romance novel, so for today's #dailyphotochallenge theme of “Love“, I tried to gather up all the romance stories that at least have a Christmas scene or theme that I'm going to re-read this month. These aren't on my TBR - I'm just giving myself permission to re-read them for points (obviously my sole reason 😉).

PuddleJumper I haven't read many of the Hexworld series, can A Christmas Hex be read as a stand alone? 5mo
Faranae @PuddleJumper I'm pretty sure it can, if you don't mind doing a little work to understand the magic system. None of the other Hex world characters make an appearance in it and it doesn't really refer to the continuity of those. 5mo
PuddleJumper @Faranae Ok great, thanks. I might give that one a go 5mo

Mehso-so

Sad to say, my first book for #cloakanddaggerchristmas was kind of a dud. I figured any book blurbed by Olga Tokarczuk would be good, but I think something was lost in translation. The language felt stilted & the social nuances of late 19th-century Poland eluded me. Plus, a wee bit of misogyny might have crept into the portrayal of a bored housewife turned amateur sleuth as imagined by two men writing under a pseudonym. Still an old folks home 👇

merelybookish Is an ingenious setting for a murder. So many past lives and unexpected connections to investigate. This was for the Feliz Navidad prompt. Onwards and upwards! @Ruthiella 5mo
Ruthiella Sadly, author blurbs can‘t always be trusted. Sorry this was a dud, but here‘s hoping the next one is awesome! 🤞 5mo
jlhammar I read this a few years go and remember feeling the same. Hopefully you just got the lone dud out of the way! 5mo

batsy I've been curious about this, but I won't bother now I think. Hope your other reads are an improvement. 5mo
merelybookish @Ruthiella True about blurbs. And my next read is proving enjoyable. 5mo
merelybookish @jlhammar Glad to hear I'm not alone. The majority of reviews on Litsy are quite positive! 5mo
merelybookish @batsy I never like deterring someone from a book but I feel we share some similar tastes and suspect the things that bugged me might bug you. 🙂 5mo
batsy @merelybookish We do, I agree 🙂 5mo

I almost bailed, the first chapter wasn‘t very good, but I‘m super glad I kept reading because this book was excellent!
A man who has hidden his past from the town he loved hopes to win the heart of a woman who refused him before - she wanted him to be committed, and he returns ready to be so, but can they get over their past to forge a new future together?
4/5 read for a historical romance that deals with race in a realistic and hopeful way.

#scarathlon #hhc Listened to this on all my drives back and forth helping my son (fractured ankle) And Finished it in October. It‘s technically ok- but i‘m enjoying it when driving. Also 4 episodes of Buried Bones. I am enjoying this podcast.

Chrissyreadit @dabbe my total points for first half is 4,740 points. 6mo
