Welcome to Litsy!

I may not like to put up the tree and start decorating but this is the perfect time to start the Christmas books to get me into the spirit.

Think we‘ll stay in and read today.

This is an oldie that I picked up at a used book sale. I used to love reading Linda Howard and thought I‘d give this a try. An ice storm traps Lolly in her mountain home and the local sheriff sends Gabriel to warn her. When he arrives, he finds her in the middle of a home invasion. A quick read (less than 200 pages) about their survival against the villains and the Ice/snow. I‘d probably recommend reading this in the winter!!

Definitely a stay in and read sort of weekend. #icestorm

Sad day, I‘m all caught up on this mystery series 😫 A couple big loose ends in ongoing plot lines, but the book came out on 2013 and there‘s no news on timing of the next book. I enjoyed my time with the residents of Millers Kill, NY this year and definitely hope there are more books to come in the future! (See comments for spoilers) #audiobook

Really enjoyed reading this book - a happier bedfellow to Orhan Pamuk's 'Snow' - both novels work on the premise of extreme weather isolating a community. Both works of translation. Both great.

This exhibit, which is part of the #Yokohama Museum of Art, (and based on currents in the Mediterranean), reminded me of this charming book which I was reading at the time. I'd picked up a copy at a #Macmillan book sale in #Egremont, #Cumbria. #translation #French #Canadian

I must say that depending on the book, I enjoy love triangles. There have been times that the decision has been agonizing as the reader, which is exactly why I like them. ?
