Welcome to Litsy!

I've been doing some easy reading of late and, this for me often means a bit of a cozy crime. Something that is not to grizzly with lovely characters that returning to is like visiting with old friends. Phryne Fisher is definitely one of those characters for me. How I love her for her intelligence, bravery, wit and strength.

This one didn't disappoint. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Spring has sprung y‘all

Another book down in my #PhryneMarathon I love this one, it has two storyline‘s, the 1st is the poisoning of Miss Lavender who illustrates the Hilda & the Fairies cartoon for Women‘s Choice magazine & on the side answers the Please Help letters, and the 2nd is the disappearance of her Chinese lover, Lin Chung, after he departs for China on a silk buying mission. Both are convoluted & both are tied up very neatly by the end. #phryneappreciationclub

It‘s 6pm on a showery autumn evening, I‘ve had the day off both from work and the Cheltenham Literature Festival, so I‘m tucked up in my #cozy slumber dress with a #cozy mystery

I‘m highly qualified for the #Hr12challenge for #24in48 #readathon I‘ve been an #Audible member since October 2007 & have over 200 audiobooks on both my original iPod & my iPhone. I have a wide selection of genres from true crime to SciFi, I listen to an audiobook every night in bed & I also enjoy #audiopuzzling I have lots of favourites, I could listen to the Phryne Fisher books,Jordan‘s Wheel Of Time series & the Anita Blake series anytime.🎧

Still at my reread of the Phryne Fisher series, though I can feel the glares from the piles of my #MountTBR👁👁 Phryne is called in by DI Jack Robinson to help out when Miss Lavender, the author/illustrator of “Hilda & the flower fairies” is found dead. Working undercover at the Women‘s magazine, she tracks down first a poison pen then a murderer. Added to her troubles is the news Lin Chung has gone missing in China. #phryneappreciationclub

I‘ve been finding it hard to read print books lately, due to eye strain, aching joints & neck pain from holding a heavy book not to mention just feeling like crap constantly. Thank god for audiobooks! Even on my worst days I can still listen to an awesome book, even in the shower(bought myself a waterproof Bluetooth speaker👍). I‘m really enjoying the Phryne Fisher books on audio, the bonus Kerry Greenwood interviews alone are worth the credit!

Fairies, pirates, Phryne Grandmother Lin... 😊😊😊 More stress re-reading but I love Kerry Greenwood and it‘s been a while. A solid offering for the Phryne Fisher pantheon, extraordinarily well written, perfectly edited, well paced and immaculately researched. Not my favourite in the series but as always with Greenwood, highly, highly recommended.

I'm sorry to say l didn't like this novel at all.
I found the mystery quite uninteresting, extremelly stretched out (entire chapters were useless, really) and the adventure about Lin Chung unrealistic and preposterous. I didn't find that turning the roles male/female around made human objectification acceptable.

A complete miss for me. Lots of other Miss Fisher novels far better than this one out there.

#NovemberByTheNumbers #day11 This is the 11th book in the Phryne Fisher series by Kerry Greenwood. I was planning on getting all 11 books out on the floor but that means bending, sooo you get a pretty picture of the pretty bookcover! In this mystery, Miss Lavender, a well known author of children‘s stories is found murdered and Phryne goes undercover at Women‘s Choice Magazine to find the killer. New book please Kerry! #phryneappreciationclub

I couldn't figure out what i felt like reading, so I decided to go with a reliable favorite series that I'm slowly working my way through for the 2nd time. I love Phryne's hat and side eye on this cover 😁

I've been sick a fortnight now, and not reading much, so it seemed like an ideal time to reread something undemanding and spend time with beloved Phryne. Just gulped down half the book, but very much should be asleep...

First morning in England! I think staying awake for 36 hours leading up to last night was the way to beat jet-lag!

I just received my very first Fairyloot box and I LOVE it!!! 😍😍😍😍 Don't worry, the picture is spoiler-free. 😊 This box is easily as good as owlcrate and the products are high quality, but postage is so much cheaper within Europe. Plus, it only took two days as they seem to have a German distributor. ❤️❤️❤️ #fairyloot #bookbox #bookishgoodiesgalore #surprisebook
