Welcome to Litsy!

Not my favorite St. James, but still really good. She tells such a great ghost story. They are always too creepy to read before bed. Also, weirdly, when I started dating my husband in the 90s, he drove a “Pontiac with a front seat like a sofa”. lol Another great read from @DebinHawaii and #AuldLangSpine

#Read2025

I actually finished this a couple of weeks ago but haven‘t been getting to all my reviews this month. Another winner from my #AuldLangSpine list from @JacqMac I have been thinking about it since I finished it. Quill is a Native American woman living in Minnesota who is out running in the early morning & hears a scream. Caught up in finding her as the police will treat it as just another #MMIW case-som thing happening too often to ⬇️

It‘s a pretty nice spring day. Starting a new book from my #AuldLangSpine list to try to get out of a bit of a reading slump. The barista excitedly told me she just finished this one as she was bringing me my dirty chai (also having overnight oats with apples and peanut butter).

Definitely my favourite of the Brodie series so far. A train derailment, a critically injured Brodie, a missing woman with a past, and a teenager trying to find someone who will listen. I adored Reggie and Sadie :)

Slowly making my way towards @CarolynM's selection for #AuldLangSpine - two more to go until I'm ready for the Rook!

Here‘s my March recap. It was a great reading month & I finished 23 books! (Including 5 audiobooks, 19 fiction, 4 NF, many genres, several children‘s & classics)

In my quest to catch up to Death at the Sign of the Rook before years end, I'm starting on the third Jackson Brodie title. So far, so good, but I have to ask: what's with all the 'J' names? Jackson, his ex wife Josie, his ex girl friend Julia, now Joanna (and her late siblings Jessica and Joseph). They're all a jumble in my brain!

Okay, I think this is mostly my April TBR. I‘m still considering a couple other readalongs/challenges but haven‘t made up my mind yet.🤷🏻‍♀️

Currently I‘m reading with #SundayBuddyRead #SheSaid #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR #LiteraryCrew #AuthorAMonth #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #RiseUpReads #Roll100 #FictionalTraveler #ThematicCozies #MonthlyNonFiction #JaneAustenThenAndNow #LSFBC #NaturalLitsy & 2 from my #AuldLangSpine list & a few more.

April #bookspin - The Ghost Map, which I‘ve been wanting to read for years (and now I own a copy!)

#doublespin - Forgotten on Sunday, an #auldlangspine pick that I‘ve been looking forward to reading but haven‘t gotten around to yet. Yay!
