Dissolution: A Shardlake Novel | C. J. Sansom

pick

Completed this book for #BookedinTime (Tudor England). I enjoyed the writing style and the story. Although I‘m not sure if I‘m invested enough in the character of Shardlake to continue on with the series. Maybe I‘m a bit curious to see how he fares now that his rose-colored glasses about Cromwell and the Reformation have been removed.

@Cuilin @dabbe

TiredLibrarian I'd try the next one, but I'm biased because I loved this series! 2d

Andrew65 I feel this series only gets better after the first one. Like you I wasn‘t sure about continuing, in fact was a few years before I did. It became a favourite series. 2d

Cuilin I‘ll try the next one if you do. 😆 2d

Butterfinger I really enjoyed the adaptation. 2d

Ruthiella I am with @TiredLibrarian and @Andrew65 . The series is well worth continuing. 2d

dabbe Like everyone said the books only get better. Shardlake's character grows in such complexity, and Henry VIII actually comes into the books as well as other royals. 🩶🖤🩶 2d

Amiable @TiredLibrarian @andrew65 @ruthiella @dabbe If you say the series gets better, then I‘ll give the next one a go! I thought Louise Penny‘s 1st book was an okay read, and I‘m very glad I continued on with that series. 2d

Amiable @Butterfinger What was that on? I‘m not aware of the adaptation. 2d

Amiable @Cuilin I think they all convinced me to proceed! The peer pressure of fellow Litsy readers is too much to resist. 😀 #blameitonLitsy 2d

Daisey I‘ll add to the list of people saying the series gets better! I think the second book is actually my favorite. 2d

dabbe @Amiable There's also a tv series!

dabbe @Amiable @Cuilin #woohoo! 🙌🏻 2d

Cuilin @Amiable Let‘s go. (I blame most of my reading habits on Litsy, Lol). 2d

Cuilin @dabbe 💜 2d

Andrew65 @dabbe Not seen that but no doubt good if Sean Bean is in it. 2d

Andrew65 @Amiable Sometimes it takes series 2 or 3 books to really get going then you are totally hooked. 2d

Amiable @Cuilin I need to get through “Anna Karenina” before I embark on a series. I just reached Part 6. I‘m getting there! Slowly. 2d

Amiable @dabbe Interesting! I will put it on my list of shows-to-watch. My husband and I are making our way through “The Sopranos” —we never watched it when it originally aired. Now we‘re halfway through season 5. 2d

dabbe @Amiable 🤩🤩🤩 2d

Cuilin @Amiable oh no worries. I know you‘ve been busy lately. Just let me know when you‘re good to start and we can do it together. 2d

Amiable @Cuilin ❤️ 2d

Legends & Lattes: A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes | Travis Baldree

I forgot to post this yesterday 🤪, but there‘s just no way I can pick one favorite book from last year! I picked this book as a standout because it was a total #blameitonlitsy read (I‘m not much of a fantasy kinda girl) and I ended up loving it. Going outside my comfort zone paid off in this case!

Sandwich: A Novel | Catherine Newman

Enjoying this short book about a woman ‘sandwiched‘ between her grown children & her parents. A great read with great characters, family secrets, & family dynamics.
I can‘t remember which Litten love this book and triggered me to read it, but thank you!

Christmas is Murder: A Rex Graves Mystery | C. S. Challinor

pick

This was a #blameitonlitsy from @kspenmoll - I read it in one sitting - just what I was looking for! A locked room Christie-esque Christmas semi-cozy murder mystery that I blazed through in order to figure out whodunit.

⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a #blameitonlitsy read, as I kept seeing all the love it was getting, so I had to read it to see what all the buzz was about. I was not disappointed!

Rabbit Cake | Annie Hartnett

pick

This one has super #BlameitonLitsy pedigree - I first discovered Annie Hartnett through @Chelsea.Poole's #AuldLangSpine list a couple years ago, and when I recently posted about how much I loved Unlikely Animals @Christine recommended this one!

I loved this one so much, a bittersweet portrait of grief through the eyes of 10-year old Elvis. Hartnett has a talent for injecting just the right amount of quirk into her characters and stories (cont'd)

TheKidUpstairs ... the quirk enhances the emotional narrative, rather than distracting from it. I can't wait to read Hartnett's next book!

The Road to Tender Hearts: A Novel

Christine Oh yay, so glad you loved!! We really are lucky to have Hartnett. 1mo
