Welcome to Litsy!

Saw some beautiful flowers today. The whole road was full of different types of tulips.
And the next chapter in my books sounds a bit scary...

#BookReport

Read 10 books, 7 physical, 2 from library, 2 for #ReadAfrica2022, 1 non-fiction

My favourite was Changeless by Gail Carriger.

My first favourite book of the year 💖💖💖 Alexia and Connall continue to be a great couple, there's a clever mistery, fun new characters and bits of interesting, expanding worl building.

And what an ending!

Some of this felt like a lot of filler but I did still enjoy for the most part. The ending definitely left me wanting to read the next book. Some great funny lines. I enjoy this take on the supernatural!
Another #bookspinbingo book done. I‘m working on those bookspin and doublespin books. Hoping this weekend has lots of time to finish up a few books!

As lovely as the first one really glad I found this series for some light hearted fun. Austen meets ware wolves in this hilarious comedy of manners.

That ending though! Can‘t wait for the next book but so much to read this month it may have to wait till December 😢. Also I can check off my first box on my #bookspinbingo!

My favorite thing about Changeless is seeing grownup Genevieve and the rest of the family Lefoux. 🐙🎩👨🏼‍🔬👻👒

Here is my overly ambitious April #TBR.
It will probably spill into May, or June.

I mixed up my #Bookspin choices AGAIN for April because I decided to only do physical books next month.
Hopefully I won't change my mind again.😁
I'm also in for #doublespin and #triplespin picks

Come on lucky numbers 4, 10, & 18!

Book 14 of the year.

Feb 25: meet with Realtor to put house on the market.
Feb 29: husband leaves for new job (600 miles away)
Mar 1: haul a *literal* ton of dirt by wheelbarrow to fill in low spots in the yard prone to flooding and standing water prior to sale
Mar2: spend 7 solid hours cleaning the house for real estate photos.

Still love this series. Definitely seeking out more by this author.

"Why, Alexia Maccon, what are you doing? You appear to be dangling. -- How undignified of you. Stop it at once!"

This entire page had me laughing entirely too hard.

Gail Carriger is funny ? why I waited so long to read this second book is beyond me. I'd forgotten how much I had laughed in the first one.

We are supposed to have gloomy day with light rain all day. Perfect weather for @DeweysReadathon #readathon ! I‘m about 3 hours down and hoping to have decent showing though definitely not the full 24 or even 20.

#SoaringScores
Here‘s a selection of covers from my stacks where #TheBlueDress stands out on the cover. 💙👗💙

I wanted something nice and light to break up all the gothic books I'm reading for book club. This oughtta do the trick!

Slow day at work, so I was able to finish this audiobook. Not as much fun as the first book and I‘m a little concerned about how the cliffhanger is going to play out in the next book, but still a fun romp through a steampunk version of Victorian England and Scotland with great characters.

What is wrong with me? I haven‘t finished a book in 10 days. Ten! I‘ve started all but one of these and I‘m enjoying them all, but I just can‘t focus for long, and two of these MUST be read by the end of the month. 😭😭 Does this ever happen to anyone else? I‘m starting to get really stressed about it.

Nap time means I get a few stolen moments of reading! It seems like I've had no time to read the last couple of days, and I'm definitely feeling it. #ReadingTime is my #MeTime, so when it's lacking I tend to turn into a stressball.

Enjoying these books. They are my go to for reading in small chunks when my life is overly busy. Witty and creative. This one ended on a cliffhanger.

I have a carefully planned out #TBR for April. This book is not on it, but it is the book I WANT to read, so I‘m starting it now, TBR plans be damned. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ #Bailey is 💯 done with me and my nonsense. 🤣🤣 #dogsoflitsy #pitbullsoflitsy #readingbuddy #snugglebuddy #moodreader

Afternoon Tea Break with Changeless. Loving the reread. First time was a binge read, this time I'm savoring.
Happy to see return of one of my all time favorite characters - Genevieve Lefoux.

Next up in the #ParasolProtectorate readalong. I re-read this recently so I‘m not up for it again but I‘m trying to follow along so when we get to things I‘ve not read I can join in.

I love this series!!

This is the second book in the Parasol Protectorate series. As the cover says, it is intoxicatingly witty. Finished this #audiobook while cleaning 🧹

Another fun romp through the world of the supernatural in this series set in an alternate Victorian era. Each book keeps me turning the pages with glee. I love the adventurous Ms Tarabotti!

I finished this up on audiobook last night. It was just as good as the first one!! That ending though had me sitting in shock, and had be running to download the third book at 2am!!!! Hahahahaha! I am just in love with all of these characters. I suggest this series to EVERYONE!! Do you ever wish you could be apart of the world a book is written about? Well I would love to be in this world!! What book do you wish you could “live in”

I have an hour break in between classes and so I decided to start in on a new audiobook! I loved Soulless soooooooo much when I listened to it a few months ago so I‘m super excited to listen to the rest! I just adore Alexia ! Who else loves this series? I recommend this to everyone!!!! You must listen/read Soulless first tho! If you haven‘t put it on hold or download it ASAP! 📚😍❤️

I enjoyed this one, but I'm pretty irritated with the end. It wouldn't be so bad if I had easy access to the next in this series.

Actually using my elliptical tonight while revisiting an old friend. I'm woefully out of shape.

Still a pick but not nearly as good as Soulless.
I did pick up the whole series from the library, so on to the next one! 😊

I'm glad I have some shorter/faster reads because I'm also reading The Count of Monte Cristo (for #MakeMeReadIt) and I'm reading that veryy slowly (256 pages out of 1000😫)

Excellent sequel! Had mystery, vampires, werewolfs, ghosts and zeppelins! I will definitely read the third!

Finished this over my morning cup of tea. Fabulous! I had read a lot of reviews saying it wasn't as good as the first in the series, but I completely disagree! I love the humour in Carriger's writing and her world building is strong. Just loved it!

I love these SFBC omnibus editions of The Parasol Protectorate series. So Fancy. The books are pretty fun too. Soulless was delightful and Changeless is turning out to be just as good.

I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one! Definitely more steampunk elements and great world building and plot. Infinitely loveable characters! #steampunk #fantasy

I am loving this series...at least the next book is available from the library because that cliffhanger 😱

This was just as great as the first in the series. Unfortunately it left off with a nasty cliffhanger and I immediately had to pick up the next book to find out what happens. I hate when I get played like this! :) #78of2018

I actually liked this sequel to Soulless even more than the first! Though I have to say, the spoiler cover image would have been better placed on the third installment... still, this has been #steampunk fun that took me by surprise, though this has been on my TBR shelf since 2011!!

This was as wonderful and fun as I expected it to be. I love this series! It‘s a great escape.

#BookAndLunch I‘m so glad this week is almost over. It was exhausting.

After that horribly long winter, I plan on spending every minute I can, reading outside in the sunshine. This book is as fun as the first one.

Yay! It‘s warm enough to read outside! Finally.

Still delighted by Alexia, but found myself skimming large chunks. Just a so-so follow up.

#steampunkswap # @IheartYA. What an awesome swap I received. It came at a great time. I have had some very difficult times this past month. 2 deaths and a friend whose 3 year old that has had heart surgery. I have been awful distressed. But this box made me feel tons better. Thank you

#steampunkswap, # @IheartYA. #Sorry I'm late. Should arrive Saturday the post office said.

The little and I are catching the red eye tonight. I have only packed the tagged book, for our 7 day trip. Don‘t worry though, I also have about 40 ebooks on my iPad and phone.

Book 2 in the Parasol Protectorate with The Soulless Alexia Tarrbotti and her husband who disappears leaving her with an investigation. So much fun with her sass, her friends and steampunk. Oh, and this one has a cliffhanger.
