Welcome to Litsy!

April‘s my birthday month, so I had another tough time narrowing this down to just one for the #12BooksOf2024, but how could I not go with my all-time favorite author, John Connolly?! The Charlie Parker series just gets better and better and each time I finish the latest, I just start counting down the days once more to his next! You can see my other top reads for the month from my planner!

Thanks for organizing, @Andrew65

It's been a while since I visited the world of Charlie Parker and I am now wondering why I left it two years as I immersed myself back into the world in which gritty crime merges with supernatural horror. In this one we learn more about Charlie's origins and the story of his father. It leaves threads open for futures books and I can't wait to read onwards.

Loved it ❤️ one of my fave series. Combining thriller and horror themes and generally set in creepy old Maine. Full of characters that you‘ve come to love over the last 20 books.

Oh, I just love this series! It‘s hard to believe this is the 21st book in the Charlie Parker series— this one harkens back to some of the earlier books in the series in a lot of ways— evil lurking in remote corners of Maine, a single case with threads with a further reach than at first visible. Fast-paced and thrilling, series regulars all appear here and the worst part, is that this starts the long wait for Connolly‘s next book all over again!

I have a very long list, but I say my go-to authors are Anne Bishop, Kelly Armstrong, Ilona Andrew, Nora Roberts, James Patterson and John Connelly

I have favorite series, lol, Black Jewels by Anne Bishop, and Charlie Parker by John Connelly

All of the above. @Eggs Thanks for the tag

October 8 #ScarathlonPhotoChalange Dark. This series has a dark component to the thriller genre. This is the next in the series on my TBR list. #TeamCryptKeepers @StayCurious @Clwojick

March 20 #MarchMagic Favorite Male Author This is my favorite male author. After you read one of his books, you'll be so impressed with the vocabulary that all other authors feel like they are writing at grade 10 level. This is my favorite series from this author. It's dark mystery thriller with great characters. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Is there anything more annoying than downloading an audiobook and realizing it‘s the abridged version?! I have the ebook but the file type must be weird because it will only open on my iPad kindle app and not my paperwhite… I was excited to be able to listen to it instead! My mom has been bugging me to read this series for years, but she‘s just going to have to wait a little longer…
