Welcome to Litsy!

I have a dilemma I‘m setting up a new reading journal for 2023 and can‘t decide which one to go with - the first one has stars on the corners of each page which is nice but does reduce space to write and the middle one is quite a bit larger and also pretty - I very much like them all - any opinions/votes which one I should choose. Thanks. 😊

Another installment in the Cotton Malone series and it‘s just as action packed as the rest. This involves the Smithsonian Institute, a Civil War era secret society, a Supreme Court Justice, former President, Senate & Congress. Lots of US history conspiracy tied in for fictional fun. Fast-paced for readers who want light but good. 📚📚📚📚

Smithsonian,rural Arkansas, and New Mexico. I loved learning about The Knights of the Golden Circle and it's connection to the Smithsonian Institution. Met Cotton's namesake uncle, Angus 'Cotton' Adams, a confederate spy, and his connection to knights and the lost treasure from 160 years ago during the Civil War. Speaker of the House wants to change country. Malone, Cassiopeia, Danny Daniels & Stephanie Nelle lives threatened. recommended

Moving back to today‘s section in the Librarything Group Read of The Lost Order, whilst I continue with the #24B42020 Readathon. Currently standing at 29 hrs 5 mins.

Cotton Malone and a rainy day. ❤️ This book is one of the better Cotton Malone books I‘ve read in awhile- I quite like the treasure hunting and politicians up to no good elements.

I never use Libby because I don‘t read a whole lot of backlist, and the books I want to read have long holds. I have had some good luck lately though. Steve Berry can be hit or miss, but I‘m hoping this is worth it!

I do love a good Cotton Malone adventure! I enjoy the fast pace, historical tid bits and this one also had some political shenanigans. What's not to love ❤️. Another great read from Steve Berry 👍

Love the Cotton Malone series. Thought they were starting to get a little stale, but this one came in with a vengeance!!

Finished The Lost Order & loved it!Cotton Malone has been hired by the head of the Smithsonian to find a treasure.Meanwhile former president Danny Daniels has stumbled onto a problem of his own.With a secret society, sentinels & clues hidden in plain sight the outcome of this treasure hunt could change the government & the U.S. forever. From the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., to Arkansas, & New Mexico the race is on to see who will find it first!
