Welcome to Litsy!

A novel with a quiet librarian living in Minnesota. The Bosnian and Serbian war was brutal with atrocities which offend common decency. The story was well written and heartfelt. 4/5⭐️

Book 2 for #turnthepage and book 56 for the year.

Interesting characters who work well together. The mystery was clever but not altogether satisfying. Can‘t really say more without spoiling.

And of course, the dog. He‘s not a magic dog with crime fighting superpowers, but he‘s a solid member of the team who makes his own contributions.

TBR for #TurnthePage. Tagged book is giving Murder She Wrote vibes and is set in Maine.

I have participated in 46 of these activities. Here are a few worth noting.
1. Hayride - no murder, but I think they‘re overrated
2. S‘mores - definitely not overrated
3. Tailgating at a football game - my husband‘s cousins all went to Penn State and have tailgating down to a science

Late night finish of this audiobook. While I‘m still not a fan of Angie, this story was a good one overall. There‘s a big plot advancement in this one, so it shows good progression of the characters. I do wish I could visit Fairytale Cupcakes and sample the cupcakes!

For #hyggehourreadathon tonight I‘m starting one of next month‘s book club selections. This way I can return it to the library when I get home and make room for all the other stuff I want to do and read in October.

This just arrived. I am all set for the holidays!

Where I'm at 😊

Knowing I love all things maple, a co-worker gifted me a maple donut. That‘s love. 🍩☕️🩵

I put this book as aSo-So for various reasons: somewhat dated; plot very convoluted; too many “bad “people especially men, after the protagonist for various reasons.Annie,the protagonist is very likable, and there were definitely witty moments, but all in all it was just OK. #AnArtLoversMystery #TBR #StoryGraph #2025OffMyShelfReadingChallenge #bookpublishedover10yearsago
