Welcome to Litsy!

Death is omnipresent in the lives of the Billymil family, 3 generations of Aboriginals who live at the end of a settlers town, in the so called Campgrounds. Ancestral spirits watch the family and try to help them.
This is not easy in a place where race relations are fraught, and where rapid social and environmental changes have a lasting impact.
It‘s a sad read but I learned a lot about indigenous traditions and am glad for that.

I bought this book because of the cover. The book blurb sounded interesting…3 women in 3 different time periods: 1619, 1942 and 2019. Historical fiction and magic. My cuppa tea. But seriously, I probably would have bought it even if it did not intrigue me. Lol!

I read this via audio and loved it. The three different narrators made it easy to follow the 3 different timelines. All were wonderful. #52bookclub2023 #featuringaninheritance

Another intriguing mystery from Georgette Heyer which has been keeping me entertained on my morning walks. Unfortunately it lacked the humorous element of many if the others I've listened to, and it's a bit over long, but enjoyabke overall. #52BookClub23 #FeaturingAnInheritance

“Perhaps one day… there will be a safer time, when women could walk the Earth, shining bright with power, and yet live.”

I adored this witchy tale about the strength women can possess within when they allow themselves to find it. It weaves 3 stories over 4 centuries, and I loved the way it all came together, especially in the second half of the book.

Book 2 in the Cat in the Stacks mystery series that features librarian Charlie Harris and his cat Diesel, who seems to be a bit more intelligent than many of the people Charlie meets! In this book, Charlie is hired to inventory a rare book collection. Murder happens, and the remaining family squabble over the inheritance. Charlie‘s son is also back in town, and there‘s a few bridges to mend. I love that the MC is male and older….⬇️⬇️⬇️

I think these need to be palate cleansers or books to get me out of a slump, as I could see various plot points coming after having recently read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Still enjoyed it!

Fancy cup and Fantasy kind of morning while waiting for the temp to finally go ⬆️ It‘s been such a cold week here. Looking forward to some sunshine! #52bookclub23 #featuringaninheritance

Oh, I loved this @MicheleinPhilly ! ❤️ It would have been on my 2022 favourites list, had a finished it a day earlier.

It left me quite breathless in places, at the injustice Ray faced from the public, the police and even his own family. Even though I kind of guessed the plot line, that didn‘t spoil anything for me.

Book 1 of 2023, and I‘m going for *all*of the challenges!
