Welcome to Litsy!

Set in the late nineteenth century, this is a short novella of two intertwining stories. First is a priest who is hunting a blue fox and gets trapped in an avalanche and ends up hallucinating. The second is the story of a herbalist and the girl with Down‘s syndrome that he ends up rescuing and caring for until her death. The two stories come together and while there is darkness there is also goodness in this story.

“…a successful marriage requires falling in love many times. But the trick is that it‘s always with the same person.”

Molly Maid is perplexed by her boyfriend‘s curious behavior at Christmastime..

This book continues to follow Alex Easton through the dark and atmospheric world Kingfisher has created, as another unsettling mystery comes to light.

While I didn't feel this quite reached the level of What Moves the Dead, it was still a very good book, weaving the character's internal and external struggles together into a truly eerie read.

Sequel to « what would happen if a wormhole opened in an IKEA? » novella Finna by Nino Cipri.

I love speculative fiction and this two book series is a great example of it. The humour is dry and dark. And there‘s some action in each of the novellas.

Very entertaining and a quick read.

This was the novella that inspired the film Eyes Wide Shut. I've seen the film several times, and had trouble getting it out of my head. Either way, the film was better.

I finished this public-domain translation of Michael Kohlhaas and other short stories or novellas by Heinrich von Kleist (or Henry de Kleist, as the 19th-c. Swiss translators wrote). I liked the novella Michael Kohlhaas best, although it did play with my nerves a little bit, as the MC went up the nobility chain of command to appeal and plead his case, all in vain, to nobody's surprise 😒 I could see the parallels with Kafka.

I prefer Scalzi's more humourous sci-fi. This was my #BookSpin for July. I got a couple of chapters in before I gave up.

This was such an engaging and unique cozy sci-fi mystery. When Dorothy Gentleman wakes up in a body that is not her own and finds report of a death on the ship, she must investigate if the two events are related. I loved the world building here - memories being stored in a library so you can continue life after your body gives out. The characters introduced were so interesting, I can't wait for more adventures
