Welcome to Litsy!

#ohcanada #9 in the Inspector Gamache series - I‘m extra happy cuz it‘s set in December ❤️❤️ so it‘s a seasonal read too ( winning my personal game on all the levels 😆😆) just lazing in bed reading for as long as I can get away with is my main goal today

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished earlier in the month, this was my third #Roll100 November pick #9 Any Series

What can I say? I love this cozy fantasy series that‘s got gods & goddesses, dragons, a western vibe & unique & lovable characters. This is the third & I believe the final book of the series & if so, it went out well. I especially loved the time spent with characters from the first two, that didn‘t take away from the story. 🧡🧡🧡

#9 of 2025. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

November #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

#doublespin was the book club pick (tagged), so I've used the one I'm currently reading for it.

And I've decided on one of the shorter Hardy novels for #9 (Under the Greenwood Tree).

My highland cow minotaur grave cleric rolled November's #Roll100 😂

Roll 1 - 36
Roll 2 - 19
Roll 3 - 9

What are you all reading?

#Roll100 will be back in 2026! I'll post a sign up sheet in December and link to the SG challenge but start thinking about your new list or carry on with your old list

This past June I was on a layover in Jersey City and walked over to Liberty State Park where I was able to take in views not only of Lady Liberty, but also this memorial of the Twin Towers, from the New Jersey side of the Hudson. #9/11 #NeverForget #September11th

#9 from the #bookerlonglist and one that I really enjoyed.

I get the Strout comparisons, from the POV of a monologue that goes off at tangents about random people from the past and present. However, it‘s definitely not the ‘male All Fours‘ - not even remotely. That‘s just a lazy comparison because the protagonist takes off on a road trip without telling anyone, in this case having just dropped his daughter off at college.

1. My 4th time (at least). I appreciate Austen's humor more every time.
2. Henry, but I love Eleanor and would have loved to hear more of her voice in the novel.
3. The early scenes when Isabella is dropping hints about her love interest in James, and Catherine is oblivious. I also love when Catherine finally acknowledges Isabella's true character and finally shows some pluck. ⬇️

tell me which #hammock already lives in your yard

How is your summer going (or winter, for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere)? Here in the US, we are halfway through summer 😨. Have you read 7 of your #14Books14Weeks yet? Or have you abandoned the dry-haystack of pre-chosen books for greener pastures?

I magically finished my 7th book yesterday, which would be on track if my reading-vacation hadn't happened in June so I won't have nearly as much time to read the rest of the summer.
