Welcome to Litsy!

Plenty here to enjoy, historical Victorian murder mystery with a subtext commentary on the British class system and emerging feminism. However I found that it stumbled over itself with too much repetitive navel gazing and no real loveable characters. Great twist to the mystery on conclusion but I doubt I‘ll ever pick up the next book in the series.

Hoooly shit!! If you‘re looking for a cozy autumn read that may make you think about something, please, please, please read this book. It‘s so sweet and hopeful, and now I‘m gonna run away into the woods, goodbyeeee!!!

Lunch break with Mr Monk and the Secret Santa, a terrible picture of my mug and organizing #wintergames2021 notes so that I actually know what I‘m trying to do 😅❄️

The story itself is a pick. I love Monk and Nurse Hester, and since she‘s now moved into a lead role, I get to count it for #Booked2021. The mystery good with a twist I didn‘t remember. The audiobook however gets a major pan for an error in the recording (see my previous post). So - read it, but read it in print. #COVIDHeroes #NurseMC

Has anyone else ever had an audiobook where the recording was out of order? I‘m 75% done and it‘s clear that it‘s now skipping around. I don‘t know if it‘s a Hoopla thing or if it‘s a defective recording by Recorded Books. 🥺 Glad this is a reread and a library book. I think I‘d be mad if I paid for it.

The story is a slower build than Perry‘s early Pitt novels, but I have always preferred the Monk series. In this first novel, Monk awakens with amnesia following an accident, & must not only solve the case he was working on prior to his accident, but piece together his identity, while trying to conceal the truth of his amnesia from his boss. It‘s an intricate mystery with great characters & Davina Porter is one of my favorite audiobook narrators.

I love the Spin the Wheel app for when I just can‘t make a decision. I‘m going to start my audiobook reread of this Inspector Monk book. It seems like a billion years ago that I read it the first time (in reality, more like 20 or so, but still). 💖 It should be good background noise while I work. (And yes, I was lazy and only put in a keyword for my options. 😂)

So as cleaned out my books of anything I knew I really was never going to read I found this one I found in the used book store a while back so I figured het light a candle sit at my kitchen table while everyone is upstairs for the night and read by said candle light play some rain ASMR on YouTube on the tablet and relax.. well I‘m definitely have the right mood going so much so I kinda blanked out and forgot I was in my kitchen. Back to reading

I felt like entering into a new world, in a different era so old, so archaic and fascinating! Deeply researched and astonishingly documented, An Infinity of Little Hours was unlike any non-fiction books I have read before. I couldn't put it down! The story was told about the most austere and isolated monastic order in the western world, the Carthusian Monks. Ms. Nancy Maguire chronicled the life of five individuals from their 👇
