Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s difficult trying to define who you are as a young adult. It‘s exceptionally more difficult when you‘re doing it while working for the CIA undermining some radical activists during a political coup in Argentina during the Cold War.

A slowish start & very twisty. Vera really can‘t catch a break. She‘s a clever & adaptable narrator, but the situation really doesn‘t make her too likable, good thing the flashbacks made me feel for her. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

I actually picked this one for the cover, and was pleasantly pleased. Short and fun

All Clive Cussler‘s Oregon Files Series take place both on sea and on land.

@Clwojick

This wasn‘t exactly cozy and it wasn‘t exactly a mystery. I‘d call it a light espionage character study?

I wasn‘t blown away, but I really enjoyed the descriptions of Argentina and found Vera to be a compelling MC. I felt like this was a good set up for the series, giving lots of background info on and insight into Vera. Has anyone read books 2 and 3?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, @ozma.of.oz and @Mollyanna ! #diversecozy

Just started this book today at work and now I‘m wondering what led me to this life choice 😬

Reading outside for a bit on this lazy Sunday 😎

Almost a third of the way into this spy novel for my #diversecozy monthly buddy read. So far, it‘s a bit slow, but I have a feeling it‘s going to pick up soon!

How‘s it going, @ozma.of.oz and @Mollyanna ?

Phenomenal. Incredibly poignant. A powerful examination of women‘s autonomy and one of the most effective portraits of living with a debilitating disease (Parkinson‘s in this case) that I‘ve ever read.

I‘ll be discussing this one with my IRL book club this week. Our first meeting since the pandemic! Should be a good one. Lots to unpack.

Don‘t let the sparse page count fool you. This is a powerful story expertly written & translated. Elena, a middle age woman suffering from advanced Parkinson‘s Disease is barely able to move without her daily pills. When her only child is found dead in the church belfry, Elena knows it had to be foul play and not suicide like the police ruled. Determined to solve the murder, Elena sets out across the city to visit a woman whom she 👇🏽

#SaturdayStats I think I‘ll pick this one up today, it under 150 pages and then I plan on starting #CampLitsy #TrueBiz
What are your reading plans for today??
