Welcome to Litsy!

#series
I had no idea that the lovely Jólabókaflóðið book I received from Christine was part of a series- thank you Diane for pointing that out! As I am at the library, I had to look for the first in the series and it was on the shelf!

My husband asked me why I was at the library when I had so many Christmas gifted books to read- my texted response was: “Why not?! I can never have enough books…”

#TryMySnacks #Ireland. The box comes with a booklet including lots of fun facts. My favorite snack was the drink this month, Ben Shaws dandelion and burdock. I'm loving An Irish Country Doctor so far. I'm listening to the audio book, laughed out loud several times today.

#20Series20days Day 4

I love most books set in Ireland and these are no exception. Good characters and a lovely setting. It‘s the type of story that I like to read after something hard hitting or more emotionally draining. #15 is due out later this year which means it‘s time for me to read #14.

#Top20Series #Day1

Book ideas for #NorthernIreland for #readingeurope2020

Almost fourteen hours is a lot more than I expected to read over the past 5 days! I finished the tagged book today, and I'm halfway through Pride & Prejudice on audio. #25infive

Both kids are napping. It's time for my cozy spot and a #bookandblankie! #seasonsreadings

A #cupofcheer is a common way to end a long work day in this Irish book. 😀 #seasonsreadings

An absolutely delightful story of Doctor Barry Laverty, a new medical school graduate that travels to the remote rural town of Ballybucklebo to work under the tutelage of Dr. Fingal Flaherty O‘Reilly. I loved the cast of quirky characters, the setting and even the recipes thrown in at the end. Mostly I loved watching the relationship between mentor and mentee grow. The writing was lovely, filled with light humor. an overall feel good story.

-The Irish Country Doctor series is one I've been meaning to get into. Love me some pastoral settings.

-Haven't heard of Cisnero before now, but this collection looked really nice and was on sale.

-I'm a fan of the Nichijou anime, but could never get into the manga. This new series from author Keiichi Arawi looks more promising.

A sweet story snot discovering the beauty in a small town.

'Tis the season...🍀🍀🍀

I‘m home sick today, but never fear, #TrickyCat is on nursemaid duty 😏💜

A new doctor begins his career in a tiny village in Northern Ireland. I really enjoyed this story. The characters are interesting and colorful, there's the beginning of a love story, and I love books set in Ireland. I'll definitely read the rest of the series. #LitsyAtoZ #LetterI @BookishMarginalia

Funny story about this one. I put it on my TBR Bingo, but upon checking my shelf, I discovered I actually had the second book in the series. I just happened to find this one at a book sale this weekend. So, whoops. I had to buy a book to complete my TBR Bingo, originally created to keep me from buying books.

This was something I randomly saw on the library shelf, and, on a whim, decided to read. I was pleasantly surprised- it's actually quite good, and I'm glad it's a series. As far as the story goes, it's kind of what you'd get if James Herriot lived in 1960s Northern Ireland, and was a doctor instead of a vet.

Switching it up from murder and mysteries and trying this one out. So far I'm enjoying it more then I expected which is a pleasant surprise.

What a sweet, light read! I will definitely seek solace in the people of Ballybucklebo again when I find I've been on a murder-drenched reading binge in the future. Because that happens. 🔪🔫📖

Lots of murder and mayhem in my reading life lately, looking for some humor and shenanigans as we settle in for the night. #catsoflitsy

Some quick reads I picked up for the end of summer! I'm wanting to keep it light and easy before I have to return to work and school 🤓📚
