Welcome to Litsy!

Talk about depressing…great writing, KH is wonderful. But this is a very depressing story. Even with a semi happy ending, it‘s depressing as hell. Book #5 in 2022.

#5 Finished this one last night. I really enjoyed this book. It is a book that was translated into English from Finnish, set in Finland. About an Investigator Jessica and her homicide unit given a new case of a murder with a series of missing persons, who happen to be social media influencers, and trying to figure out how they connect and what is going on. I enjoyed it a lot. There is a previous book of this author's I now want to get.

I actually really loved this entry in the series (#5). I liked all the pack dynamics and the fae bargains.

...For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter, and confounds him there...

Sonnet #5 proving apt given snow has given way to hail and then rain outside as I read.

So fun and unusual-book club book #5 and the best so far. French girl makes a deal with the devil and lives forever, but no one remembers her. Terrific.

This was an enjoyable book. I had a love hate relationship with the main character but I was glad to see her growth by the end of the book. I really enjoy how she grew to love the dog called called Teddy. I just wish there was more scenes with the dog. However I did enjoy that romance aspect of the book. 4⭐

This is my #Top21of21. I‘m not too pumped up about my list after 15 but the top 6 have all my heart. 💜
Looking back, I am disappointed that there wasn‘t a lot of armchair travel but I‘m happy that I read more books than last year.

I will be squeezing in another book or two. Making this list is always fun. Thank you for tagging me @batsy @Ruthiella

I have had this book on my TBR Christmas pile for a couple of years. I am so glad to get to read it this year. As the title implies, it‘s a magical story. At first, the chapters seemed long, but soon enough they flew by because I wanted to see what would happen next. It was tear-provoking. #142 #BookSpinBingo #5 #BFC21 #CSReadathon #RIF #TistheReadson #Jinglebellathon #HXMASGAMES #MerryBookmas #AVeryMerryBingo #Wintercosy #AVeryMerryReadathon

1. Finish my Dec TBR, and 3 books I‘ve started and stopped this year.
2. Complete a menu for managing diabetes
3. Continue to do physical therapy exercises
4. Work on mindfulness techniques to reduce daily stress responses
5. Work harder to not stress because our Supreme Court is a political joke. #abortionishealthcare

I‘m really enjoying making my way through the Dublin Murder squad series. This is book #4, and so far, I can‘t pick a favorite. They‘re all unique with a variety of crimes and characters. I‘m off to start #5!
