Welcome to Litsy!

Lazy Saturday just listening to an audiobook & trying to knock out a puzzle.

My reading vibe this January seems to be audiobooking urban fantasy and fairytale retellings whilst playing mindless games on my phone. I need to get my groove back, because I'm currently trying to read Flashlight (from last year's Booker) and it feels like it's 4000 pages long instead of 400.

Peter Grant and his family, his father's jazz group, and assorted people from the Folly go North to Aberdeen partly as a holiday and partly to investigate rumours of a giant cat killing livestock. The local police need his specialist skills and knowledge when a man with gills is found dead on the seafront.

It's always enjoyable to explore more of this world and meet new characters.

It all started when Dr Brian Robertson, retired GP, enthusiastic amateur ecologist and self-confessed cryptid aficionado, stumbled over a dead sheep a few kilometres west of the town of Mintlaw, Aberdeenshire.

Great addition to the series . It was great seeing the characters continued stories and it was so interesting how this developed … another hit

W/ the entire family on vacation in Scotland, Peter was just hoping for some relaxing time on the beach. Then a maybe selkie is found dead, a mysterious panther is stalking sheep, & Abigail gets a crush. So business as usual.

Lots of fun, great humor, & fascinating world building, it feel like we skipped a book w/ the time jump. & there were just too many characters that felt incidental. & I did not get invested in Abigail‘s romance. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Rivers of London books read so fast, which is a nice change before diving back into medieval gender.
I enjoyed this one despite the comparative dearth of local history (there was still some), I had missed Peter's sense of humor. Still a little formulaic, and I feel like too little work was put into the twins.

This happened: walked past bookstore. Saw new rivers of london in window. Couldn't find it in store. Asked. The window copy was the last one, but I got to buy it. My stamp card gave me $20 off? Walked out with a book I didn't know existed 5 minutes ago, as I put my faith in getting the aaronovitch news email, apparently erroneously.
