Welcome to Litsy!

I completely re-did my December #BookspinBingo list once I saw the 2026 #TOBLonglist

I think I have it now. Books tagged in the comments.

@Librarybelle I am pleased to let you know that I actually completed the #192025 challenge!!! 🎉 I have absolutely LOVED this and am so glad that we're signing up for another five years 😂 I read a lot of older books every year anyway but it was still fun to try and hunt down certain years!! Thank you so much for hosting!!!

This book seems to be a Japanese classic, but I've only just discovered it, thanks to various Litsy challenges that inspire me to try out new authors! I really enjoyed it and will look for more books featuring the eccentric detective Kosuke Kindaichi.

A good installment in the Falco series set in Ancient Rome. In this one, Falco travels to Germania on an imperial mission and has a number of (mis)adventures along the way.

The story of the capture of Randall Woodfield, the I-5 serial killer who committed robberies, rapes, & murders along the I-5 corridor in the early 1980s. Woodfield started out as a promising athlete & was drafted by the Green Bay Packers, but it all came tumbling down due to his fixation with young women & misogyny.

These are my three selections for the weekend. I've got lots to do, but if I can fully read the tagged and make decent progress on the other two , I'll be a happy camper. All are for my push to finish #192025 in a somewhat timely manner.
