Welcome to Litsy!

Sell off #8

This one was for #AgathaChristieClubR2 (February😳getting there🤣) but I already answered the questions @ferskner What can I say? I enjoy Poirot who sometimes sounds arrogant and narcissistic☺️I like the way he develops his deductive reasoning to discover the murderer. This time he will analyze “...the character of the dead man” (p.173). I enjoy all these arguments about characters‘ personalities. 3/3.5⭐️ #BookSpinBingo (#8) @TheAromaOfBooks

Here is my #bookspin list for May! I‘m pretty sure it‘s the same list as in April but I made a new graphic 😂

#8 in the Emma Griffin FBI Series is another good one. Bellamy comes for a weekend and Emma wins a trip for 3 to a secluded private island. It's the perfect opportunity for Emma, Bellamy, and Eric to spend some time together relaxing and not worrying about a case. Of course, that doesn't last long before Emma starts investing a mystery. ⬇️

The publishers granted my wish and I got a #NetGalley #ARC of the 14th novel in The Chronicles of St Mary's series. That happened while I was somewhere between #8 and #9 in my "great TCoSM re-read". I've meanwhile finished the re-read and re-read the ARC. ?

It's a different St Mary's novel, because most of it happens in the future - you know, the desk job Max took up in #13. It's also a novel that looks back at the series, ⬇️

Book #8 of the year: “The Galaxy, and the Ground Within” by Becky Chambers

This one was a gift. I liked the creativity of the creatures and the lack of a human-centered storyline. Several very different characters are brought together through unexpected circumstances. Over the course of 5 days they learn about each other, the diversity of the universe, and their own biases and areas of ignorance. It wasn‘t my favorite but it was easy and unique.

First time I heard this expression of “snowflake”. Debbie is in the process to start college in Dublin and she comes from a farm village. She travels every day because can‘t afford to stay in the city “commute girl” that‘s how they call her. This is about her process to adapt to this new life, to discover herself and understand better her family. There are some triggers in this novel, family mental illness, bipolar disorder, depression⬇️
