Welcome to Litsy!

Bk8 of June & #BigJuneReadathon is done! I originally read this as a teenager as The Thirteen Problems, I think the above is the US title. One of the Special Edition hardbacks they‘re bringing out each year, I‘m slowly collecting them all. The 1st Marple outing, it‘s a short story anthology collected as a different problem presented by each person at a dinner party. Of course our fluffy old lady solves every one! #BookspinBingo #CloakDaggerChal

Bk2 of February 2022 is done! The 3rd Rizzoli book is one of my favourites in the series. It introduces Father Brophy & both Maura & Jane are given more depth. A bitterly cold Xmas in Boston & a young nun is found bludgeoned to death in the Abbeys chapel, another nun barely hanging onto life. When Maura finds the dead nun had recently given birth, complications arise. Love this one. #BookspinBingo #SeriesRead2022 #Pop22 #Pageathon #PennyPerPage👇

Bk1 of February is done. A reread of a book which is technically the 2nd Rizzoli & Isles novel but really is the first book with both Jane AND Maura involved. I loved it just as much this time around. Rizzoli is battered but unbent after her encounter with The Surgeon when a bee series of murders start. Then the unthinkable happens, Hoyt escapes from jail & joins forces with the new killer. Recommend👍 #BookspinBingo #SeriesRead2022 #Pop22👇

Bk8 of January 2022 & #JumpStart2022 is done! I actually finished this last night just haven‘t had a chance to post till now. This was hard to read at times, the topic, FGM & it‘s practice in England specifically, is a very emotional subject but the author handles it extremely well. A few storylines are drawn together into a great instalment in the Lynley series, here‘s hoping for a 22nd! #BookspinBjngo #Doublespin #Pop22 #SeriesRead2022👇

Bk7 of January 2022 & #JumpStart2022 & Bk3 of #JoyousJanuary #readathon is done. The 4th in the Cormaran Strike series, it isn‘t my favourite so far but it was still a good read. A mentally unwell young man asks Strike & Robin to investigate his memory of a murder. Lots of twists & turns & the interplay between Robin, her new husband & Strike was also entertaining. #BookspinBingo #SeriesRead2022 #BeatTheBacklist #ChunksterChallenge #ShelfOfShame👇

Bk5 of January 2022 & #JumpStart2022 is done. Wow. I blew through this in a day, I guess the day off was productive after all! I absolutely loved this 2nd book. Even though the MCs were different, it had a few side characters in common & the world it‘s in. Set in the HUGE Core General Hospital, it‘s about a rescue specialist doctor who has to save the entire hospital habitat from an insane computer virus. Fantastic! #BookspinBingo #Pop22👇

Bk3 of January 2022 & #JumpStart2022 is done! I first started this before Xmas but wasn‘t in the mood for it, picked it back up last night & flew through it today. A Cold War spy thriller set in the Apollo missions, it‘s written by real astronaut & Canadian nice guy Colonel Hadfield who has the experience to add the details that make it believable.🚀I highly recommend⭐️ #Booked2022 #InvolvesAnExploration #Pop22 #BookspinBingo #SpaceTimeReads👇

Bk14 of December & #WinterGames2021 is done! My daughter & 3month old grandson have been staying here since Sunday, so not much reading done till now. Was a bit iffy about this book at first, but it picked up after a few chapters & ended up being a good read. Gives a beautiful sense of my amazing country, written by the author of a brilliant NF about the Black Saturday bushfires of 2009. Loved it! #AVeryMerryBingo #MistletoeManiacs 2,176pts👇

Took me longer than usual to read this due to a heat induced headache, which is still hanging around🤕A classic Dame Agatha, except for the amount of blood involved in the crime, with an awful family forced together for the holidays. Perfect Murder setting! #AVeryMerryBingo #TisTheReadson #AVeryMerryReadathon #BlackwellsBookshelfReadathon #MistletoeManiacs 3,916pts👇
