Welcome to Litsy!

#20in4 hosted by the awesome @Andrew65 starts Friday! 🎉

I‘m taking Monday off, so this is perfect timing. My goal is to read at least 20 hrs and try to finish my April #bookspin (tagged), On Writing, & Introducing Garrett, P.I.

My April #bookspin (tagged) & #doublespin plus my April #roll100

I‘m traveling (hopefully) starting Monday. I‘m packing quite a few books, including 3 of these, with the goal of doing a lot of reading while in transit.

My October #bookspin TBR.

8 of these are also on my #scarathlon TBR, which I‘ll post once I know which team I was assigned to. 🎃

And hopefully I can use a lot of these for October‘s Rapid Readers book pathfinder challenge.

I do love multi-purposed TBRs!

I finally read the first book in this legendary series! And now I kind of get it. Our protagonist in this one gets to be a Bulgarian spy for Russia and ends up in, uh, various other countries - Spain, France, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania ... and the novel is all about the war between communist & fascist forces, not to mention the “west,” and spycraft and reversals, and a motley band of brothers who end up in various countries during the war. #WWII

Happy Birthday to Alan Furst born on this date in 1941. “Spy novels are traditionally about lone wolves,but now how many people actually live like that?”-Alan Furst.This book has been on the TBR for years, it‘s even been through a couple of moves..compared to Eric Ambler and Graham Greene. Maybe this year I will get to it.Furst is considered a master of the historical spy novel.

Regrammed from my Instagram: at long last, after having this book for ten years on my wishlist, I finally have it in my hands 😁📖 #toread #tbrqueue #tbrpile #toberead
