Welcome to Litsy!

I really wanted to get through this, but by hour eight of audio I just couldn't...too many people to keep track of, and too much corruption and greed to process at this particular moment in my life. Thanks for the rec, @amiable! It was worth a try, with some interesting nuggets in it.

In the 80s this was an iconic TV series so it was interesting to rd an excellent classic. Charles Ryder goes to Oxford + meets Sebastian flyte ,a charismatic student from the Marchmain aristocratic Catholic family. With S's descent into alcoholism his obsession moves to Julia the sister. No pleasant characters but a great story of religion + class.

This has sat on my shelf in the hope that the author will finish the series. This seems unlikely in the near future... so decided to tackle this for both #booked2022 #adaptedforthesmallscreen and #chunksterchallenge2022. It took me 3 months longer than I initially expected owing to the fact that Martin constantly meanders and lost my attention at times. I will still continue reading the series (if any) but was at times disengaged with this one.

Another brilliant police procedural novel featuring Vera 😁 never disappoints. Complicated twists and turns, thought I‘d guessed right at one point, but no.

Well this was fun! I have NOT watched the show so I was interested throughout to see what was going to happen. Cassandra is a flight attendant who enjoys her drunken debauchery. After a night in Dubai, she wakes up next to a dead body. This is the story of Cassandra trying to fill figure out what happened when she got black out drunk, how to deal with the situation, and what's next. I listened on audio and enjoyed having three different ⬇️

28/22 In the UK David Suchet IS Poirot. As a mystery fan, Agatha Christie, is hugely lacking from my life. Although I did watch Poirot in the 90s. I‘m starting from the beginning and I‘m going to work my way through them all starting with this one published in 1920. It was interesting to see the character of Poirot begining to develop and I enjoyed the courthouse scenes. But Hastings… what a twit 😂 #booked2022 #adaptedforthesmallscreen

I had really high hopes for this after reading a glowing review in the British press, although I can‘t remember which newspaper. It *was* really interesting and definitely a pick (and not a low pick) but it just didn‘t grab me as much as I expected. After a few days trying to figure out why, I think it just didn‘t have enough of that ‘storytelling‘ element; it wasn‘t up there with Patrick Radden Keefe‘s books, for example.

I‘ve been meaning to read this trilogy for YEARS. Finally got around to it, and I‘m loving it! The world-building is fantastic, and the writing is giving me ADSOM vibes (my favorite YA fantasy series. Moving straight on to the 2nd book.

This is a powerful story of race and jealousy. It's hard to review without giving away the plot the author packed so much into such a short story. It's one I'll be thinking about for awhile. It's now on Netflix. #Booked2022 #AdaptedForTheSmallScreen @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage
