Welcome to Litsy!

Did I just add the other 15 books to my shopping cart for a whopping total of $150? Yes. Yes I did. Did I then remove 5 or 6 books because I cannot financially justify that big of a purchase… also yes.😢 I will return for you my beloved book babies.

Ps. Miss Fisher is everything I wanna be when I grow up. A single woman, independently wealthy, who solves mysteries out of boredom and amusement.

Watched 'Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears', the new film. It was watchable, but nothing to write home about.
Everything fell weaker than in the series: the script, the dialogues, the settings, the mystery.

Day 27 - #CharacterWithFlair #DearDecember #IntroducingTheHonourablePhryneFisher #KerryGreenwood

Unflappable, unconventional, and uninhibited, the Honourable Phryne Fisher leaves the tedium of English high society for Melbourne, Australia, and never looks back. In her first three adventures, Phryne handles everything―danger, excitement, and love―with panache and flair, and still finds time for discreet dalliances and delicious diversions.

1. I‘ve never really read an entire series before this year, but I‘m currently working my way through the entire Phryne Fisher series;

2. I don‘t have one at the moment. The ones I did like have all gone off the boil for the last two or three series, so I‘m only watching stuff like Bake Off and Strictly

3. No. I‘m English, I barely even know what the World Series is!

4. Chicken and chips this evening.

5. Yes

@Crazeedi Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! 🙏 I just love you! 😘 I have a question for you: Do you own a Kindle? 📖

#LitsyClassics #MayLovesClassics #day14 #Character Phryne Fisher is my idol. A strong personality with a deep moral code, a feminist with a feminine side, independent & unapologetic, she forges her own path in a time when women were to be seen and not heard. Shocking late 20s Melbourne society with both her choice of lovers & career, if she calls you friend, you know she‘ll be there for you, no matter what. #phryneappreciationclub

#LitsyClassics #MayLovesClassics #day2 #Heroine Phryne Fisher is the undoubted heroine of “golden age crime”Feisty, fabulous, fearless & very very Feminist, she‘s also affectionate,charming & loving to both her employees & her adopted daughters as well as her gorgeous Chinese lover, Lin. Landing in Melbourne after WWI, she starts working as a “lady detective” refusing to let the men in power tell her what she can & cant do. #phryneappreciationclub

1. Raisinettes, blech
2. Hamilton‘s Battalion, y‘all
3. Hmm. Either Japanese or Mexican.
4. I have six, which is not that many considering my dad has two siblings and my mum has eight.

#Rocktober #day20 #FoxyLady Phryne Fisher. She can shoot a gun, fly a plane, drive a race car, chase down robbers, bad men & murderers. And she can also dance the charleston, sip cocktails, dress like a lady & love like a courtesan. She is one foxy lady.❤️ #phryneappreciationclub

Day 8 #readingwomenmonth #Australianauthors

Kerry Greenwood, author of my favorite series.

#JuneTunz #day4 #BeYourself There ain't no other female character written that is more true to herself than the Honorable Phryne Fisher. She takes no prisoners, cares little about what other people think, refuses to be what society expects her to be & is a champion for the victimized & marginalized. She's an amazing woman & a wonderful character to read. All hail Miss Phryne! #phryneappreciationclub

#RockInMay #day19 #FunFunFun Miss Phryne Fisher is very much fun,fun,fun! Her investigations are extremely entertaining, daring, and very Australian. I love how she's portrayed as breaking women's stereotypes left,right & centre and never taking no for an answer. She brings in murderers, thieves & scoundrels but she has so much fun whilst doing so that the reader enjoys themselves just as much. Love Phryne so much! #phryneappreciationclub

Phryne is one of my all time favorite characters, in any form she appears. I've read some of the later books, but had trouble finding the earlier ones. Got this omnibus at Aunt Agatha's Mystery Bookshop (a delightful discovery in Ann Arbor).

#feistyfeb #day27 #australianauthors This is just a small selection of the Aussie Authors on my shelves, these are the ones within reach. Some of my favourites are here, like Kerry Greenwood & Kate Morton, but I also have names like Tom Keneally, Ruth Park, Tim Winton, Kate Grenville, Colleen McCullough, Bryce Courtenay, Mathew Reilly & Markus Zusak. Not to mention classics like Joan Lindsay, Miles Franklin, Ethel Turner & Norman Lindsay!🇦🇺🇦🇺

I just want to stay up all night and read, but I'm supposed to be a responsible adult. What's a girl to do?

I've read the first three The Honorable Phryne Fisher books in audio form before, but this is the first in print. All three were fantastic, though not as good as some of the later novels, nevertheless they get you sucked in to Phryne world & leaving you wanting more. Cocaine Blues is when Phryne first comes back to Australia after the Great War to find out if a woman is being poisoned & the next two are her first cases in Melbourne. 5⭐️

I have a furry reading buddy, for a couple of days anyway. #kittenlitten #catsoflitsy

It took me way too long to start these books after discovering Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. They are fun, quick reads, and the show is different enough to keep the mysteries interesting
