Welcome to Litsy!

I admit, I really enjoyed this one. The Austen references, the play on P&P characters…it was quite enjoyable. Though it‘s called the Jane Austen Tea Society mystery series, the tea society hardly meets in the book. But, I really liked Phaedra, the main character, who has a cat named Wickham. Ha!

I did kinda guess the murderer by the end, but that did not detract from my enjoyment of the book. Promising first in the series!

Books 184-188 of the year.

I finished the last of my 2023 reading challenges today. The first one is the @cozymysteryclub. The second one is the @barnesandnoble romance.

Both of these challenges were new to me this year and both were fun.

I will be doing the @cozymysteryclub 2024 reading challenge. I haven‘t seen anything yet from BN for 2024.

The mystery itself was well-done, but idk how I feel about the characters. Phaedra seemed a little naive for a 30-something university professor, and the tension with Mark felt so manufactured. I'll probably read book 2, but it's not a pressing need. #cozymystery

Super cute cozy that mixes academia with a reality tv show. I‘m in for the second when it comes out.

Went to B&N and spotted this cozy mystery on the shelf! #adaptation #PemberLittens

I like how the artist chose to use Keira Knightley as their model!!!

Christmas books!!
