Welcome to Litsy!

I have a few books in process but I know I won't be finishing anything tonight so that's a wrap on October. The tagged was my favorite of the month.

A bunch of has-beens and loners in Britain's secret service are consigned to Slough House after screwing up. But there is more to these misfits than first appears, esp their boss.They stumble on some clues related to a kidnapped teenager which leads to 24 hours of buck passing, back stabbing, conspiracy theories, and other twists. I will definitely be continuing this series.

Because I‘m a wuss & often find psychological violence more disturbing than physical violence, I skimmed most of the abduction parts, but I loved the machinations of the spies. Thank you to @thegirlwiththelibrarybag for giving me this book last Christmas.

Jonesing for a Slow Horses but will settle.for a stand alone.

On Friday, I started two different books and couldn‘t stick with either. I binged the first season and a half of Slow Horses on Apple TV yesterday, started another book that I just can‘t stick with earlier today and am switching over to the tagged book that‘s been on my shelves for YEARS. I probably should wait until I finish all four seasons of the TV show, but I‘m hoping for a book I can‘t put down. 🤞🏻

Loved the book just like I love the show!

The slow horses are MI 5‘s losers. They “work” in a rundown office building separated from MI 5‘s glamorous headquarters. Herron deftly created a cast of antiheroes, the plot is full of twists I didn‘t see coming. There‘s humour and action. Slow horses is a well written, clever spy novel. I already borrowed book 2 in the series.

I loved the show! Casting and acting is terrific. Thought the book might be fun, too 🤩

However, it is SO much like the show, that… I prefer watching.

#Apr2025 Book 32

An excellent way to spent the day. Perhaps this will be my year of spycraft? I could see it.
