Welcome to Litsy!

So happy to clear the board last month! And cleared 9 books from my #MountTBR Can‘t wait to try to do it again in December! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Read to cover #Guadeloupe for #ReadingTheAmericas2023 @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle.

A police procedural set in #Guadeloupe. A female body of a tourist is found on a nudist beach, and it is discovered that she has been raped and murdered. This murder is investigated by Algerian-French judge Anne Marie Laveaud. This book meandered a bit too much for me and was much longer than it needed to be. It was okay but nothing to write home about.

Say it with haiku. 😆 Love is worth the risk of being cubed.

The Daily Doctor was supposed to be published last year in September, but was pushed back to August 2023. One of my longest standing pre-order ever.

Came across Mother Tongue by accident and I can't wait to read it (let's not start kidding ourselves, it's going to live on #MountTBR for a while first).

Not a sentiment I often see expressed.

Ok, this is just ridiculous. #mounttbr #bookhoarding

Neither one of these novellas are in the database (likely because only on Audible) so I tagged another of Correia‘s books (which I also liked).

Take one gritty, hardened cop + corrupt justice system + gangs & corporate overloads and then set it in space a lost colony on a super deadly planet where not everything is what it seems. What you get is a fun SciFi murder mystery! And Oliver Wyman has the perfect voice for a gritty, hardened detective.

My before bed start for tonight. New series (& possibly the author as well, not sure tbh) to me & totally out of sequence. Another #ImpulseBuy sans GR referencing beforehand🤦🏻‍♀️ This is #10 & will yay or nay whether I hunt the series down to start from the beginning, or not.

I'm going to quote from the historical note:
"[...] mythical and magical, a sweeping Dickensian story with a twist. [...] a large family and a disputed inheritance, plus fortune telling in the age of Enlightenment."

5/5 Stars

Thank you, @Oryx for meeting at House of Books and Friends in Manchester otherwise I might have missed this gem.
