Welcome to Litsy!

It's dreary and gray here, so a good day to curl up with a cat and a wintry mystery 😺

A cute cozy mystery. I enjoyed it on audio, it was a good narrator which helped to keep track of all the characters.

I love how Alec acts all put-upon by everyone's faith in Daisy's judgement, and then has exactly the same faith in her. 😂

I couldn't remember much about this at first and now it's all coming back to me... It feels surprising how far I am into the book without Alec having shown up yet!

Here are my books read in January and all were picks:

A Deal With The Elf King by Elise Kova (paperback fantasy)
The Winter Garden Mystery by Carola Dunn (audiobook mystery)
Heidi‘s Guide To Four Letter Words by Tara Sivec and Andi Arndt (audiobook romcom)

A pleasant cozy mystery set in the early part of the 20th century. A read that I enjoyed and some good plotting.

My first finish for #24b4Monday. This is the second Daisy Dalrymple mysteries. They are light, cozy reads. Not a lot of heft to them, but fun little reads. In this one Daisy heads to Occles Hall where the Lady of the house is tyrant over the entire village, except the smithy. The smithy‘s daughter‘s body is found in the Winter Garden. Thus begins the tale...

I enjoyed this story and look forward to spending more time with Daisy (and her Alec).

I enjoyed the second installment in this cozy series. Daisy just can‘t help solving a crime when it appears in front of her.

This was a cute book! Daisy is such a fun character to read! Cute cozy mystery and it wasn‘t til the end that I figured out who the murder was. Can‘t wait to check out the next installment.

Getting some listening in today ☺️

Since I'm out of Phryne Fisher books to read (😭), I needed a 1920's mystery fix. I enjoyed the first book in the Daisy Dalrymple series, so I decided to give book two a whirl. It starts out slow and it took me awhile to get into it, but overall it was an enjoyable experience. Still not my favorite but I'll definitely be reading more in the series. 3.5⭐️#mystery #1920s.

#bookmail from Australia!!! Thanks @Lizpixie I'm really looking forward to this book. #birthdaygiveaway

I got into audiobooks through podcasts, slowly building up the stamina to listen to a whole book. Because of that, I started with nonfiction and slowly worked my way to fiction. Now I'm really in mysteries-- mostly anything with an excuse for a British or otherwise non-American accent! #awesomeaudiobooks #marchintoreading

I'm loving all these new "cozy crime" series that people have recommended! Daisy Dalrymple is like an English Phryne Fisher, without the bankroll. Her exploits and chutzpah are fantastic, especially her interplay with Detective Inspector Fletcher & poor Phillip Petrie who keeps offering to marry her to save her from work! Brilliant series, thanks again to @LeeRHarry for introducing me to her. #daisysdarlings

3.30am,can't sleep so I'm trying a cozy English mystery before I try some more shuteye.These books are so cute,they definitely remind me of the Phryne Fisher novels,but these are set in the upper classes of English society instead of Melbourne.Same Art Deco/ bright young thing feel to them,same language & slang like mater, toodle pip & old thing. I really really want Kerry Greenwood to write more Phryne, but Daisy will do for now. #daisysdarlings

A pleasant diversion and a quick read, this book did keep me away from my Sunday chores. Daisy is an amateur sleuth and modern girl for the 1920's. She reminds me of the young Tuppence, In Agatha Christie's books. There's the fun slang , think Jeeves and Wooster and A Scotland Yard detective think Ngaio Marsh . I'll probably read another if I run across Daisy at a booksale, but a bit of a disappointment.

Finished Station Eleven and The Chemist so it's time to give a Daisy Dalrymple mystery a try. The blurb on the cover says " Fans of Downton Abbey will be delighted "

Having lunch at the Boondocks cafe to try their famous nachos . Bought this book at the booksale #blameitonLitsy #booksandfood

Another success, Alec & Daisy are delightful and mystery is great!
