I am a huge Crime Junkie fan and really excited to start this.

And just like that it‘s #myfavoritetimeofyear

Starting the week off with a new listen.

#audiobook

At least I can #audiobook while working on a Sunday.

Summer storms brewing. No power. A little bit of daylight left to read by.

#thecalmbeforethestorm

Why? Why have I waited so long?

Beloved on audio, read by the author, was staggering. One of the most emotionally impactful works I‘ve experienced. This one is no less.

My third, and least favorite, Erik Larson. I would have loved if Edward Hermann had narrated. Not enough of the suspense, intrigue or glamour of some of his other accounts to keep me engaged.

No better way to spend a cold and windy day.

I always enjoy Alice Feeney. This one has felt a bit tedious so far but I have a feeling I‘m in for a surprise.

**sob** I loved it all. A slow build told with agonizing and steadfast heartbreak. Friendship, loyalty, family, love. All will be tested. Are there any winners? Bang.

@CollapsingLibrary I must know. Book 2 on hold.

Finally, I‘m going to hear what the fuss is all about! 😀

Very excited to start this after a very. long. wait.

I read this series years ago and liked it so much I decided to give the audio a try.

Why have I not read Emma Straub before? I loved this. Poignant but with humor, it was charming and relatable.

Next up on audio and my first by Emma Straub.

I loved this so much. Made all the better by Marin Ireland‘s narration.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Up next: I haven‘t heard anything about this one but I‘m a sucker for anything narrated by Marin Ireland.

A reread for me for April #AuthorAMonth. First time in print and this time audio. My first Ruth Ware (I‘ve read all but one) and still one of my favorites. Plus-Imogen Church is amazing.

@Soubhiville

I didn‘t connect with this book at all. It wasn‘t bad, it just never seemed to go anywhere.

We don‘t get far on the weekends. #mustbesunday #typical

I was going to wait and read this for April‘s #AuthorAMonth but I waited almost 5 months for this audio hold from the library so here goes.

Made a quick run to B&N for Jane Harper‘s newest. And walked out with two more. It‘s a requirement, right?

My daughter and her cat MyCat wanted to be in the pic. #cuties

@THill

I think reading the book instead of listening to the audio would have made all the difference. I did not enjoy the narration and felt lost the entire story. I‘m not even sure what happened in any comprehensive way. Was humanity saved or destroyed? I‘m not really sure.

So, I know I said I was going to read the Ann Patchett next but…

#itsabouttime

I‘m only 10% into The Stone Sky but this hold just came in and I don‘t want to wait.

❤️AnnPatchett

Saturday morning looks just like Friday night but with coffee.

#dogsoflitsy

Starting the last book in The Broken Earth trilogy.

Short book with a big punch. There are a lot of themes to consider in this novella. It‘s depressing and bleak and tragic. Definitely not for everyone, but I like Steinbeck a lot because his writing gives me perspective.

@Soubhiville

Starting a new audiobook while working on a Sunday hoping I‘ll be home in time to watch the NCAA Women‘s Big Ten Tournament final.

#oniowa #gohawks

Just going to start with the one on the top 📚

#tbr

A book I didn‘t want to be over but couldn‘t wait for the end. My second favorite by this author.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#catsandbooks #catsoflitsy

Not sure where this is going yet but it‘s giving me M3GAN vibes. Sort of.

Hi there.

Happy Saturday.

#dogsoflitsy #dogandabook #saturdaystandard

I‘ve barely started this but I like it so far.

Just finished a reread of Malibu Rising for #AuthorAMonth. Still working on the print version of Carrie Soto Is Back but it‘s slower going.

I‘m sort of underwhelmed by TJR novels but this is my favorite of the three I‘ve read.

@Soubhiville

Finally! I placed this on hold on December 3rd!!

Clearly, we have different priorities.

#saturdayvibe #dogsoflitsy #thecutenessisreal #AuthorAMonth

Jeremy Irons‘ voice is so good and adds a whole other layer to this book.

Haven‘t met an Emily St. John Mandel I didn‘t like.

#saturdaynight

Starting next on audio.

Plan for today: #audiocleaning

Starting book #2 in the Andrea Oliver series.

One of my favorite authors read by one of my favorite audiobook narrators.

There is a lot to process in this short follow-up to The Passenger. It‘s dense yet it didn‘t feel altogether complete to me. Still, a pick.

The narration was so good and I think I enjoyed the book more because of it.

The plot twist seemed really predictable but there I was with a *gasp* anyway. The ending faltered but overall I really liked this.

I got a little lost in The Passengers and I think it was because I was so intrigued with Western but faltered with Alicia.

The 2nd book tells Alicia‘s story and I hope it draws me in.

Thank you so much @Soubhiville for your generosity and the wonderful 2022 #AuthorAMonth surprises from the random drawing. I was not expecting four books!

I have not only not read any of these books but have not read any of these authors, either. Looking forward to 2023 #AAM

#grateful #happy #reader

A week off Litsy for a trade show in Las Vegas but things are back to normal now.

#sundaymorningstandard #dogsoflitsy

Suspense ✔️
Unreliable narrator ✔️
Murder mystery ✔️

I‘m in!

Starting my January #AuthorAMonth pick. I‘m looking forward to reading this new-to-me author.

@Soubhiville

Book 1 of 2023 complete. I‘m not quite ready to dive into book 2 in the series. I wasn‘t super into this one and need to think on it a bit first.
