Welcome to Litsy!

From the book:
“Miss Kopp is the best police officer and detective in the State of New Jersey. She does not know the meaning of fear and with her bravery she also uses brains.” —Sheriff Heath, quoted in the New York Herald, April 11, 1916

This the fourth in the series of feminist crime novels set in the early 1900s.

On the day I took Anna Kayser to the insane asylum, I was first obliged to catch a thief.

Book 114 of the year done.

My current read for today. I am working my way through my TBR cart for all my reading challenges.

More birthday goodies just came from a friend. Him and I have been buddy reading the Miss Kopp books and I guess he‘s ready to start the 4th one. We won‘t quit either Miss Kopp! We‘re hooked!

On a Kopp Sister‘s marathon! Trying to catch up!
Keep writing about these fun, dynamic, trailblazing sisters @AmyStewart 👮‍♀️ 🚓 🐦 💃🏻 🧵

I continue to love Constance Kopp. Her passion for saving people really connected for me & it made me happy by revealing how much she's grown & the support system of determined women she's developed. Surprisingly, I also really enjoyed Fleurette. Norma remains the thorn in my side, but she started grew on me at the end. I admit, this didn't leave me w/the usual Kopp sisters feeling of delight, but I know you can't keep those Kopps down for long.

Woke up at 2:30 AM for no reason, so on to Kopp Sisters # 4...

This is such a good series.... So many changes for Constance Kopp in this book and so much historical background.

😍😍😍😍😍

Audiospinning! I'm almost done with this audiobook and I am so sad. This book feels like an ending.

I love The Kopp Sisters‘ adventures and hate that I have to wait until the fall for the next book 😩 Amy Stewart‘s series just keeps getting better and better, each book of hers is my new favorite in the series lol 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/ 5 stars

I love the relationship between Constance and Norma 😂 They crack me up, and every book from Amy Stewart seems to have more and more development of their relationship 👍🏻

So far, she's taking on dishonest doctors and NJ politics, and of course, condescending men, and I'm only 60 pages in.
(I love Amy Stewart's writing)

Just a heads-up that there‘s a $2.99 ebook deal going on all month long...everywhere books are sold. And if you‘re not an ebook reader, I give away real paper copies every month in my newsletter

Kicking off this year's #womenshistoryreads interview series with the incomparable @AmyStewart (who, incidentally, introduced me to Litsy!) http://www.greermacallister.com/blog/2019/2/28/womenshistoryreads-interview-amy-...

Some unexpected political resonances toward the end! Another great entry in this series that always manages to handle the history just right, while the historical reality prevents it settling in to a cozy repetitive detective novel rut. The next one (there must be a next one) will have to be right on my academic patch and I look forward to reading it!

Another charming page-turner from @AmyStewart ! No spoilers, but such a fun battle to the finish. Her story feels like journeys I've taken in my life - coming back to myself again after I disappeared. Quite a wonderful read.

Some days I am ready to bury my phone and computer in the back yard and entirely rely upon pens and paper. But then there are days like today when I can use my phone to VPN into work on my laptop in order to finish a project in my car while I wait for my kids and listen to an audiobook. Then I feel pretty clever.

PS the Constance Kopp books are pretty good on audio.

#BonBonCat is keeping me company while I read. He‘s purring. Loudly. Awwww! #CatsofLitsy

Picnicking at home. 👍🏼🤓

Amy Stewart's Miss Kopp series is on sale today for ereaders in the US. $2.99 apiece. I really enjoyed the first two.
Plenty of other deals today as well for "cyberMonday." (What a horrible, misleading term. I fell like I should be shopping for a holodeck. Or at least VR goggles)

In denial that fall recess is over and we‘re back to school tomorrow #TeachersofLitsy

#TrickyCat has decided I‘m done reading 🤷🏻‍♀️ #CatsofLitsy

#TrickyCat is supervising my reading 🤪 #CatsofLitsy

Enjoying #BooksAndCoffee on this penultimate day of fall recess. I love Miss Kopp!

#TrickyCat is quite comfy — I‘m afraid to move! And he‘s so soft and fluffy 💜💜💜

#MiaCat and I are watching more Mary and Paul judging British baking. A very low key Thanksgiving— hope yours was good too 💜

#PromisingBeginning #OpeningLines 🤓

Very much looking forward to this one! (And head over to @AmyStewart — she‘s currently doing a special Litsy #giveaway of the 4 published Kopp Sisters novels!)

Friends on Litsy! I promised to do a giveaway of the new Kopp novel just for you, and...well, I‘m running a couple months late. But here it is now! Link below. To atone for my tardiness, I‘m giving away all four Kopp Sisters novels—and this is just for Litsy! #giveaway #contest #freebooks

Highly entertaining and amusing story! http://quirkybookwormalways.blogspot.com/2018/11/miss-kopp-just-wont-quit-by-amy...

The #underdoghero,Constance Kopp, goes above and beyond to do her deputy job but just can‘t catch a break. #booked2018

The sisters Kopp are back for adventure and intrigue. In rapid succession, Constance, deputy sheriff, nabs a crook, saves a runaway, and delves into a mystery at the insane asylum for women. Meanwhile, one sister has developed a master plan to help the US win a war it hasn't entered, and the other is determined to entertain the troops. Stewart takes real characters and events, then she adds the ultimate extra spin: her imagination. Excellent!

Love this series!

Miss Kopp is enjoying her fulfilling job as deputy sheriff of Hackensack Jail when her world is upended by an order to transport an apparently sane woman to the insane asylum and by the upcoming election, which will replace her beloved boss—whose term is up—with a new sheriff. As always with this series, great characters and descriptions bring early-1900s NJ to life. Also I love Miss Kopp‘s pluck and persistence in championing women.

Another great installment in the series! It has been an enjoyable binge this year 😊

I haven't read the first three books of this series, but l still appreciated this one, which us kind of self-contained.
Stewart has a fantastic handle of the time periode and of the many historical characters of the story.
i found the actual plot a bit meandering, but l still enjoyed it.

I would TOTALLY read a biography of Maude Miner if Amy Stewart wrote it 😊 I love the author's notes in this series!

For whom had I been carrying that burden? It wasn‘t any use to me: I might as well cast if off.

The latest book, Miss Kopp Just Won‘t Quit is stellar. I love the mix of true history with some fictionalization of events that help fill in the details. I stayed up late to finish it because I had to know how it all wrapped up. The cliffhanger for #5 is there at the end and I‘m eager to see what choices Miss Kopp makes next. Against the backdrop of sexism and partisan politics, she‘s the kind of tough courage I need more of right now.

I‘m halfway through this page turner...the fourth in the series. I love strong women characters and this story does not disappoint.

If I took the time to scold every masher on the street, I wouldn‘t get anything done.

Reading plans for tonight.
I'm falling behind with Miss Kopp, with means l won't be able to complete the #BookAWeek challenge.
Oh, well. I only chose two books for the #Screamathon so l hope to catch up in October.
I caught up with the #TuorReadalong yesterday night.
Let's read some more!

😩😢😭 Why does it have to end?!? I miss Constance already...

Great story. Everyone needs to read this series! Girl Waits With Gun is the first one in the series. #HistoricalFiction #DeputyKopp #LadyCop

“Miss Kopp is the best police officer and detective in the state of New Jersey. She does not know the meaning of fear and with her bravery she uses brains.”

#LadyCop #DeputyKopp

I love these books so much!!!

Constance Kopp is just the best! 💕💕💕
I love how she knows she‘s looked at funny and talked about because she‘s going against the grain, but she doesn‘t give a damn about it. She is just enjoying what she does and not worrying about what anybody else says or thinks. To her it‘s just a matter of fact thing. #LadyCop #DeputyKopp

My favourite chocolate caffee and my Kobo. This was this afternoon on the way to work. I'm happy it's Friday because l'm dead tried.

I got my books today y‘all! I only picked up 2 extra books that I had not placed on hold, that was an improvement. Can‘t wait to dive into the tagged book. I love the cover! I will be asking Santa for this series in print this Christmas because I must own it. #LitsyLovesLibraries #waytoomanybooks #bookaddictproblems

What are your thoughts? Have you read any of them?

Started my first Miss Kopp yesterday and so far so good.
