Welcome to Litsy!

My #library has more donations than we‘ll ever sell at our booksale and since we‘re going to be having an #alteredbook contest this summer, I made an example. Everything is made from the book, except the mini book covers, which I printed out, and the little paintings, which I printed out and glued onto some plastic buttons I had laying around. And since it‘s a Strike book, I was able to sneak my signature in it 🥸

This was so much fun! I really enjoy these characters.

Second time reading this after a number of years, thought I would read it again before I start watching the series. I rather enjoyed it as I did the first time and am looking forward to reading the entire Strike series.

This is pure dumb fun. I enjoyed reading the detailed descriptions of elite, wealthy settings. I also appreciated how the dialogue and conversation drove the story. Finally, the slow pace with which Robin and Strike‘s relationship develops is an added bonus. I‘ll be checking out the next book.

She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton tell the tale of 13 American women who have made a difference around the world. This book uses real life stories to introduce young children to women who have continued to break barriers. This book helps to empower females to step out of the box and create the change they wanna see in the world.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A history of “The Boy Who Lived,” or more aptly, a deep dive into the process, publication, hype, and ultimately HP‘s incredible success. Written by The Leaky Cauldron webmaster, journalist Melissa Anelli, this is somewhat a memoir of her experiences, but also a thorough look at the popular culture phenomenon. That book one was rejected several times, and the series went on to become so iconic, is pretty amazing!

And so to bring me up-to-date on the #12BooksOf2022, this is another one that took me by surprise. I‘ve never read the Harry Potter series. I read The Casual Vacancy and though it was dreadful. So I stayed away from the Strike series. But after seeing so many people so excited for each new release, I decided to give the first a try. Since then, I‘ve binge-read most of the books series and binge-watched the TV series.

Saturday morning riding lesson ... not me, my daughter... Saturday morning mummy time! Been meaning to read this for ages... just hope it's better than my last read 😉☕️🍫📚🐎

I‘ve avoided reading the Strike series mainly because the author is so popular and I kind of steer away from things that seem overhyped, but after seeing a lot of people praising the series, I gave it a go, and I must say I‘m enjoying the series, though more for the relationship between Strike and Robin that the crime element.

I received this book for my birthday earlier this year from a friend, and I don't know why it's taken me so long to read it😅It was a very interesting murder mystery and I enjoyed the 'Sherlock Holmes' feel. Though a little slow and I did predict who the killer was, I enjoyed the events that played out, and especially liked the interaction between Strike and Robin. Overall it was a good book but could have been shorter.
