Welcome to Litsy!

I had loads of fun trying to fill the #BodyCountBingo board, which was perfect for all the mystery and horror books I was reading for #scarathlon. I didn't manage to fill the board but got a good number of bingo points for #skeletoncrew. @Emilymdxn

Many thanks to @PuddleJumper for hosting!

A Hallowe'en themed cozy mystery set in a library that's inside a lighthouse with a resident cat. The setting couldn't be better! I was also happy to discover that the author Eva Gates is a pseudonym of Vicki Delany, whose other series I've enjoyed.

The book that alerted me to this series, and I FINALLY got to read it! 🎃 😊
So many things to love about this one: Outer Banks, Halloween, library, books, romance, mystery…
The next in the series has A LOT to live up to!!!

I haven‘t yet paused to update on the books I‘ve finished the last few days. I‘ll get to that when I‘m away from this idyllic place.

Been saving this Halloween themed entry in the OBX lighthouse series exactly for this trip. So far, so good!

Halloween ✅ Outer Banks ✅ Lighthouse ✅ Library ✅ Yep, this book checks off my favorite things. I enjoyed spending time with these great characters. Lucy, the lighthouse librarian, stumbles onto another murder mystery. A wealthy businessman considers donating his collection of North Carolina historical documents to the library. Unfortunately, he is murdered in the library before he makes a commitment. A great addition to this series. 🖤#MountTBR

I was in the mood for a cozy and this fit the bill. +186 #TeamHendrix #Scarathlon2021 #Spookoween #screamathon #littenlisten #trickortreatathon

Ended up finishing this one today for 9 hours of reading across several readathons!

+26 for #TeamSlaughter! #Scarathlon2020

Now that I‘m feeling better, I‘m sitting down to listen to this cozy mystery on audio and work on my haunted house diamond painting. #TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon2020

This was such a feel good cosy mystery! I wasn‘t sure if I was going to like the main character but wound up really rooting for her in the end and the cast of characters around her are loveable and eccentric in the best ways. I found myself wishing that I had a little apartment in a lighthouse library all to myself. Not sure I bought the ending but it was still a fun little mystery. #teamslaughter #scarathlon2020 @Clwojick

#TeamSlaughter points update! Pictured is my current read. After a bad first week I came back with 1,900 points this week 😳 I didn‘t think that I had that many. Here‘s hoping I can do just as well this week! #Scarathlon2020 @Clwojick

Book 116 of the year read.

Book #4 in this series. I am getting back to reading this series after the #cozyinthesun last month.

Found this audiobook through my library 🎃👻

I started this series last winter and I'm so excited to be picking it up again. This volume is really best read at Halloween, but this is my favorite cozy series so I'm happy to reread it in the fall. #cozyinthesun @Librarybelle @ferskner

I thought this was a pretty good book for a 4th in the lighthouse library series. I love the setting. Lucy & Connor are pulled in different directions but seem to be finding their way. I liked the introduction of a new character for Bertie so I am excited to see how this romantic love interest plays out. Picked up the newly released 5th book just over the weekend from my local library. Excited to read that one soon

So, I guess I'd better introduce myself. I'm a librarian and the founder of the Save Our Cozies group over on Facebook. At least some of the authors thought we did good - hence the photo above.
Also, Eva Gates/Vicky Delany writes darn good books. Go pick one up!

We hope today is very special for these lovely Littens @ArianaGrace @BookBabe @Ddzmini @Ms_T Enjoy your birthday weekend!! #BirthdayLove

This series just keeps getting better!

I just love this series. Lucy is the best heroine. This mystery was a bit more mysterious - being set around Halloween and with some spooky occurrences. #readwomen #cozymystery

This is the 4th book in the Lighthouse Library Mystery series. Lucy Richardson is one of the librarians at a library located in a lighthouse on the shores of North Carolina. Such a cool location for a library, and for the setting of the mystery. I love the look at library life and the running of the library. Lucy lives on the top floor of the lighthouse just above the library. This book is a pleasure to read and left me feeling happy.

I love libraries, lighthouses and the coast of North Carolina and this cozy mystery has all three.

Book 4 in the Lighthouse Library Mystery series comes out next month. I like this cozy mystery series because it combines my favorite things: the Outer Banks, a library, and mysteries.

Aside from the unnecessary mental illness euphemism in this tweet, this whole thread on Twitter is delightful. Click the link and then "show this thread" to find out how the real-life mystery at the library was solved. https://twitter.com/green_grainger/status/981232100740419584‬

I didn‘t love this one as much as I have loved the other books in this series... the main character Lucy got on my nerves a bit in this one and I am not sure why! Overall, it was a cute cozy and am glad I read it! #netgalley #arc #booked2018 #spookyread @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

Getting a cold in my spring break is not my idea of a good time... curling up I bed with this bad boy in hopes that it will go away!!
