reading this for the second time this year (and making up for all the years this has been on my TBR).
This isn't the opening lines of MC but it is the first line of one of my favourite stories from here. This made me laugh, and is a really nice contrast to the story about Ylla.
Been reading this today. It‘s coming along. It‘s full of wisdom from his grandfather. I know it must be precious to him to have all this his grandfather wrote in the 1960s.

4.50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie was a wonderful warming read with quirky characters, comedy and of course, the Jane Marple.
Current read is collection of shorts from https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/41170, and finally reading something by Margaret Oliphant, Hoffmann and MR James.

pickVery nice book on Winston Churchill and his life and career with the Windsors! He lived a great life serving the monarchy whether they liked it or not 😂. Sometimes they butted heads but mostly were intrigued and respectful towards each other. Each King and Queen he served with he was respectful of and they of him. He lived through some trying times with them. Ty Net Galley for the arc!

pickThis was a really good historical account of the mess ups in the United States, from slavery, to the Challenger disaster, and to collapses in our economy or the stock markets. It gives a really good account and shows how mistakes and failures can help us, if we move forward in a positive way, to survive and thrive again.

Sorry I‘ve been MIA but I‘ve been really busy and tired from trying to organize my house and take care of my mother at the same time. But The Last Secret Agent is a new book I‘ve started reading this past week. I am only into it a chapter or two, maybe three, but so far it‘s very interesting. Can‘t wait to read more. #LitsyReads #2025Reads #SundayReading #NetGalley #nonfiction #memoir
pickI really liked this Christian fiction by Jill Eileen Smith! Great fiction faith-filled writing . My first by this author. I will have to get more of her books because I really liked this one. A fictional story of what maybe might have happened from her point of view. I can only imagine what it was like to walk with Christ face to face. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickA Last Hope by Verity Sandahl. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really liked this beautiful faith entwined story of a Royal couple to be married when they came of age but evil always comes to mess with everything good. I loved it! Clean romance. From not trusting to realizing they‘re the only one who they can trust. It is a beautiful story to me.

so-soThis one was just okay for me. I liked the still-yet-to-figure-it-out romance between Leo and Jasper. I liked the mystery and story. But it wasn‘t really intriguing or interesting. Interesting, but not REALLY interesting. I wanted to know what happened next but not in-a-way like I gotta know NOW. Towards the end it did get more intriguing, but it was still just an okay read for me. #LitsyReads #2025Reads #NetGalley #ARC #Mystery
