Welcome to Litsy!

Inspector Amaia Salazar is called back to Basque Country, where she grew up, to lead the investigation of several killed young girls. So far so good. But there‘s a lot of folklore too and Tarot cards and nightmares leading her the way. It felt a bit too much, didn‘t really make sense to me.

Here‘s my November #readyourkindle picks. #5 is the second book in a series. I would have to read the first book in the series before reading the second one. I‘m not doing great with reading the ARCs that I‘ve been sent. I have digital ARCs that were sent to me in Aug, Sept, Oct that I still haven‘t read. I‘ve signed up for more ARCs since then but I don‘t know what I‘ll be accepted for. I should stop signing up for them though.

#5 of 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Here is what I'm currently reading:

Fractured Tide by Leslie Lutz - really enjoying it so far. I love that it's told in entries

Fear (Gone #5) by Michael Grant - interesting direction the series has taken the last 2 books

A bit late with my #5JoysFriday post 💛 but yesterday went really long for me & I crashed early last night, so here we go:

1. The cutest little ghost earrings with 🌺 It gives me joy to buy from local crafters.💛

2. Went to a conference & dessert was warm cinnamon-banana bread pudding. Mouth joy! 😋💛

3. Treated myself to joyful new fall magazines.🍂🧡

4. Mango-Kumquat tea with mango bursting boba.😋🧋💛

Still reading the first 4 books from the top. Finished the last 5 books. #sundaybuddyread #wildwoman #MarkTwain #familyread #ABeatriceSteeleNovel #audiomystery #ElectraMcDonnell #5 #GabrielAllonThriller #readyourkindle #NF #ColdCaseUnitMystery #TimeTravel #librayfinds

I love this series, but this one was my least favorite. A bit long winded and the mystery didn‘t quite work. The last one had so much depth, so maybe #5 just pales in comparison.

Very elegantly written, I became engaged in the book immediately I enjoyed following the narrator‘s struggle to live in NYC while she‘s still strongly rooted in the Albania she left behind. Het empathy for other refugees jeopardizes her mental wellbeing as well as her closest relationships. She moves between this empathy and self-preservation and there seems no closure. An impressive read.
