Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m so enjoying this series. Gwen and Iris are such a great duo. I‘ve already checked-out book three!

Just finished listening to this enjoyable audiobook. This is the second book in a cozy mystery series set in post war London. This one is especially lovely as it involves the Princess Elizabeth and her erstwhile beau , Philip. Looking forward to book 4 ( I listened out of order 🤣) 💚🐉

Here comes a bunch of reviews from the last week that I haven‘t posted. (A Emergency Alert went off at 6am so I‘m wide awake)

This is the 2nd book in the Sparks & Bainbridge mystery. They run a marriage bureau after WWII but end up solving murders. This one has them unofficially working for the royal family.

I really love this series and am glad I found it. It‘s a bit silly but it‘s fun with also some serious topics like mental health.

A great read! I love the characters so much, can‘t wait for the next book slated to come out later this spring!!

I love these books because while there‘s a great mystery, there are also so many laugh out loud moments too 😆 I‘m so excited I just discoverd her 3rd book (“A Rogue‘s Company”) will be published later this spring 🥳

A new book and my sweater blanket, life is good! 😊👍🏻

I‘ve finished my #bookspin for September book and I‘m plotting which book I‘ll read next. Eddy Charcoal is plotting with me. Probably the tagged book, but it might be another from my bingo card!

I‘m in! I‘ve been craptacular at readathons this summer. 🤷‍♀️ Never stop reading is my best response. This readathon from @Sace is such a fun one, and a prequel? Perfect.

I can‘t really believe it‘s nearly Labor Day. I love to swim, but I haven‘t been once this summer. I will get out to my favorite local beach once FIL is gone. Keep treading water seems an apt metaphor right now.

Happy Hump Day!

I‘ll see what I can accomplish this weekend! I‘ve got freelancing to do and it‘s my FIL‘s final weekend here. It‘s been a mentally and emotionally exhausting month. I‘ve got two books I‘d like to finish, including the tagged, plus a third TBD. Huge storms and rain overnight kept me awake, but the air feels divine this morning. Goodbye 90s and humidity. Happy Saturday!

The good news is that while I was either reading other books or, more likely, not reading much during this pandemic summer, the newest book in the series arrived at the library! So now I can continue on, which is so much fun. My 95-year-old FIL is back for another monthly stint, so it‘s been stressful and mentally exhausting, but here we all are. A gorgeous Saturday in the Irish Hills of Michigan.

Today‘s #JulyARC will be released on 7/28.

ARC of the second Sparks & Bainbridge book. I was pleasantly surprised by the first, which was a lot of fun. Set in London just after WW2 in a matchmaking agency, of all things.
