Welcome to Litsy!

Great Way to start the day…and a new book!

This is the first in a series of clean, sweet, humorous mystery stories with an enjoyable cast of characters. Set in a Florida retirement community, the protagonist is actually a young woman who has been raised there by friends and neighbors of her deceased and beloved grandmother. There‘s a Stephanie Plum-esque vibe in all the best ways. A great palate cleanser! A few typos, no intellectual challenges, but I‘m on book three and happy as a clam.

Books 29-34 of the year read.

I really enjoyed this cozy mystery! It‘s the 7th book in the Pancake House series but it‘s the first one I‘ve read. Marley runs a pancake house and she goes on a trip to Holly Lodge with Brett during the holiday season. Then a body is found in a snow bank and Marley starts asking questions. Nice winter setting and interesting mystery—not sure why there‘s a cat on the cover though! #cozies #seasonalcozies

Finally finished my last Christmas cozy mystery of the season and got a bingo. 🙂

The description of this one as a "hipster cozy" made me roll my eyes, but I actually really liked it! There's a whole lot going on (maybe too much?), but I liked the characters and the setting. I'll definitely read other books in the series.

This is a low pick for me. It's not an especially strong mystery but it's definitely a fun read for the Christmas season.

Listening to this as I wrap presents.

Another cozy that kicks off with some toxic characters. I don‘t like the over the top negativity of a lot of cozies. I found out after starting this that the author is also Eva Gates, and I had to discontinue her lighthouse library series for the same reason. I guess she isn‘t for me!
