Welcome to Litsy!

Deadpan & hilarious attempted murder mystery 😆You find out who & how the murder was attempted. Then the rest of the book is constructing the why. Highly satisfying 📚

I‘m not even sure if I liked this book but I kept reading and wondering what was going to happen. It reads like a satire or comedy which was not what I was expecting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

After purchasing it at a library sale years ago, this book has been waiting to be my summer read for a long time. I‘m so glad I finally got to it! Who knew murder could be so funny? Reminiscent of Christopher Moore, this screwball plot and quirky cast of characters hooked me and made me laugh a lot. Just as interesting - finding a newspaper clipping in the book of a husband who went missing from a cruise! Highly recommend this super fun read.

Current Beach Read. My first Hiaasen and really enjoying it.

Confession: I devour every single thing Carl Hiaasen writes, and am never disappointed. In addition to just enjoying their for their entertainment value, they particularly resonate with me as someone who was born and raise and continues to be embarrassed by her home state of Florida. I love them all, but for some reason, Skinny Dip is the one I‘ve reread the most. I want Mick Stranahan, Joey Perrone, and the incomparable Skink in my life!

This fun madcap adventure of a story begins when a women gets tossed off a cruise liner. I read this years ago and laughed out loud. I definitely need more Hiaasen in my life.

Et voilà, my September #Bookspin list.

This was my first adult encounter with Haissen, I loved hoot as a kid when it came out and finally got around to reading one of his adult novels. Easy read, perfect for the beach/pool, might pick up another one for summer but heard a lot of his plots are repetitive... but I usually have to figure it out on my own

The only #skinny book I've read. It was a lot of fun.

Chaz invites his wife on a cruise and one night, while they are out at sea, he must have thought #sheaintworthit and throws her overboard. Unfortunately she‘s a good swimmer. An amusing read. #heatofjuly

A murder mystery that takes you into the swampy Everglades of Florida. I love Hiaasen's books as they are laced with snarky humor and environmental consciousness.

Logging lots of reading time on this rainy day. #florida #quotes #rainydayreadathon

Day 22: Male Author
I‘m not generally into books with environmental or political themes but Carl Hiaasen‘s sense of humor keeps me coming back for more! A native Floridian (I didn‘t know those existed! 😂), his books take place here in the sunshine (swamp) state and generally feature quirky characters and some kind of fun crime/mystery. His YA books are also worth checking out as well!

#bookmail The pop sugar challenge has a category for a book mentioned in another book. Lucas Davenport picks up this book in an airport in Twisted Prey. I haven‘t read any Hiaasen before, but he‘s been on my “Want to try” list for years. Maybe this will be the year.

Also-gratuitous picture of #bailey for your enjoyment and her annoyance. 😂😂

I high five this book. It's no wonder Hiassen and Christopher Moore are constantly raving about one another. They clearly were separated at birth their sense of humors are so similar.

Oh I love this book. For fans of Christopher Moore, dive into Carl Hiassen for whizz-worthy laughter. :D

It's funny because it's true

These were the first books I thought of when I saw the prompt for #feistyfeb today. The #candycolouredcovers are just so bright!!

I don't know about the Goodwill stores in other states, but the one near me has a huge book selection. These 5 books were under $5 to purchase. That is a huge score to me🤗

Another book (number three but the first audiobook) finished for #bookisholympics. Definitely a quirky and unique voice but it would make you think twice about living in Florida!

The ultimate #laidbackbook, best read on a Florida beach with a pina colada in hand.

It's pink and green and a perfect beach read. #augustphotochallenge #recommendsday

So far a very good summer read

I loved this book when I read it a few years ago and today I found it in this Free Library box in the way to the Coronado (CA) 4th of July Parade. I left it for someone else to enjoy. And Carl Hiaason is coming to speak in San Diego in Sept.
