Welcome to Litsy!

Fifth book in the series and Flavia never disappoints! She still makes me laugh. (She could so easily veer into being a twee or annoying character but is not!) As usual, Bishop's Lacey offers up a solid mystery to solve involving an entertaining cast of eccentrics. Could feel pieces of future storylines being put in place, which was supported by the final surprise at the end. 🤨 My #cloakanddaggerchristmas pick for child detective. @Ruthiella

I couldn't get into anything else I was reading the other day so I turned to a favorite to reread. Flavia did not let me down!

The 5th Flavia de Luce crime book and I‘m so glad I‘ve started reading this series again.

This time Flavia is present when a body is found in a crypt in the church. And of course Flavia needs to investigate.

I love Flavia as a character, but I‘m not sure I would love having her as little sister.

Flavia stumbles across another corpse and immediately sets out to unmask the murderer. It‘s always entertaining to listen to Flavia‘s adventures

I stayed up late finishing this one, only to find the last line is a cliffhanger. So, that's the story of how I ordered book #6 at 1am. This continues to be a fun series and this one felt a little different. The police presence was missing for most of Flavia's investigation, so she had different obstacles. Made it feel fresh, rather than having her fight the same fights in every book.

Finally getting to Christmas decorating. Lights are on the tree, now to sort out decorations. Quite the cliffhanger at the end of this Flavia mystery

First day of advent is the perfect day to start ( finally) building my Lego advent/wreath kit

Another good one. And what an ending!

I‘m back! Work finally slowed down a bit. I needed a comforting book and so I turned to this series again. Just something fun and interesting and not too sad even with all the murder. I like the new characters that were introduced. And overall it was a fun mystery.

From my favorite book series Flavia deLuce Mysteries.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Flavia de Luce never fails to entertain. The “big twist” in this one was something I‘ve predicted from the very first book, but I still enjoyed it. The characters are fun, the plot was engaging, and I learned a few more fun facts (as one always does with Flavia, chemist extraordinaire), including how to make the perfect hard-boiled egg. Overall, this was an enjoyable, quick read that I‘d recommend, especially for the tween/YA crowds.

Bradley really shines in the fifth instalment of the Flavia de Luce series. With a unique way of resolving the central mystery and introducing a new personal challenge in Flavia‘s life on the last page, this moves Flavia‘s story forward but we still have our dear, precocious child detective.

Book 7 in my #bookspinbonanza

Time for book five of our #flaviabuddyread

Finished this one just in time for #flaviabuddyread questions tomorrow! I am really starting to love Flavia. I‘ve found myself thinking, when I have a bad day, that I just need to read the next Flavia book. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Coming up on Saturday - the fifth book for our #flaviabuddyread!

I liked the mystery in this one and Flavia is her usual intrepid self. The general plot of Buckshaw Hall also moves forward in this book.
There was a cliffhanger at the end of it which really makes me want to get onto the next book quickly.

Starting her love of Flavia young! 😉

Diving back into this one on a cold and raining day in NY. Hope you are all well!

An appropriate book to finish on Halloween. I love the Flavia de Luce mysteries, as this one has some interesting twists and turns. Plus, it ends with a tremendous cliffhanger. I have to wait until we go to our son‘s house for Thanksgiving to get the next book from his library, and I‘m going to have to start a countdown 😄 Definitely worth reading.

So happy to be reading a Flavia de Luce mystery again! I raided my son‘s library over the weekend 😊

Trying to show off my fuzzy #sweater while reading this fun mystery also while three little ones pretend some old keyboards are laser blasters! 😅🥰😂 #FallisBooked

Listening to this while getting pampered! I love Flavia. I think she is one of my all-time favorite narrators.

#cottoncandy Left on a “cliffhanger” that necessitated a change in reading list order and a quick download of the next book. #audiobook

I'm a Flavia fan, woefully behind in the series (this is the 5th of 10 books published so far). I had non-spoiler advance warning from a Goodreads reviewer that there was quite the cliffhanger. Was there ever! I might have to read the next installment sooner than I would normally!

As always, Alan Bradley comes through with this Flavia de Luce novel. Flavia, whose precocious, hyper-intelligent voice is the shining star of the novel, becomes involved in a mystery that places her chemistry knowledge at its center. I listened to this one on @scribd, and the reader is *excellent*. And what a cliffhanger!!!

Blue books! Have you read any of these?

Flavia does it again!! I listen to the series on audiobook and it's amazing!

1. Many! 2 dogs, a cat, turtles, saltwater fish, a bearded dragon and a beta.

I love this series! The narrator is great!!

Great series for anyone who is looking to get into a new one !

Flavia is at it again in this installment of her mystery series. This time, a suspicious, contemporary body is found in the tomb of Saint Tancred, and Flavia has to figure out why. Another fun adventure, with a twist at the end. Janet Entwistle once again does a marvelous job with the narration.

My hold came in today!!

These books keep getting better and better. I was a bit confused by the complicated plot at the end, but that was probably because I‘d just woken up from a nap!

Flavia is a brilliant creation.

“Remember what I told you: Books make the soul float.”

“It‘s moments like this that you find out what you‘re made of: moments when everything you‘ve been taught is fighting against your heart. On the one hand, I wanted to run... On the other I wanted to throw my arms about this round little person, let him put his head on my shoulder, and hug him until the sun burned out.”

I know it‘s only Thursday but this is what I‘d like my weekend to be like: surrounded by books and looking foxy 🦊.

Instead, there will be 2 children‘s birthday parties, a “Messy Easter” children‘s event at our church, and 11 people coming over for lunch on Sunday. 😵

Maybe I should just aim for that “looking foxy surrounded by books” thing today.

“Whenever I‘m a little blue I think about cyanide, whose colour so perfectly reflects my mood.”

Yes, I did steal my son‘s Dobby bookmark.

I am not ashamed.

The #FirstLines of a Flavia book never let me down. 🤭

Love Flavia.
